I read a lot of Heinlein as a kid. Later on I came to realise that his politics were entirely questionable.
Fair enough.I don't really see what that has to do with anything, tbh. Enid Blyton was racist as heck, but I still read all her books as a kid (much of it is edited out now, but I read the original editions, which were... wow).
My all-time favourite author is Orson Scott Card, and he is a rampant homophobe (I'm bi... leaning more towards gay).
It's the stories and the writing I get turned on by, not the personal opinions of the author.
Anyway, wrong thread...

This week I have been mostly playing Deathloop. It's very good indeed. It's definitely better than Prey, and probably maybe better than Dishonored. Possibly.
I already own more games than I ever will have time to play, and yet I'm always tempted by these Steam sales.Steam has lots of things going this weekend. Too many to detail.
I think Blyton was fairly common here, but you get of course translated so we wouldn't even know the original was not pc.Fair enough.
I'm sure I've read some Orson Scott Card but I can't remember ever delving into Blyton........
Speaking of wrong threads: I was just playing Star Wars: Squadrons.
Same here. So many games, so little time to play.I already own more games than I ever will have time to play, and yet I'm always tempted by these Steam sales.
