Where's part 3? :) I must admit, the AI generated image in your first post made me scroll by quickly at first, thinking your post itself would be AI generated too. But now I'm hooked. I've only read about the Cuban Missile Crisis as told by the US side before, so I'm genuinely curious how participants of "the other side" experienced this historic incident(s). Thanks for letting us in on your story!
Definitely druid. Shape shift everyone into ravens and just fly past every obstacle and enemy while playing Wagner's ride of the Valkyries.
I very much enjoyed E.V.O.: Search for Eden when I whipped out a SNES emulator a few years ago, though I have never played it on the original console.
Also, of course, the Donkey Kong games on SNES (almost) never get old.
One of the things I appreciate about O'Brian's writing is how he uses music and Jack's and Stephen's manner of playing as a reflection of their emotions, sometimes unclear to themselves.
>He had boundless confidence in Stephen, but deep in his mind there was a sense of having been - not tricked, not quite manoeuvred: perhaps managed was the word. He did not care for it at all. It wounded him. He took up his fiddle, and standing there facing the open stern window and looking out on to the wake, he stroked a deep note from the G string and so played on, an improvisation that expressed what he felt as no words could have done. But when Stephen behind him, speaking over the sound, said, 'Forgive me, Jack: sometimes I am compelled to be devious. I do not do it from choice,' the music changed, ended in an abrupt, cheerful pizzicato, and he sat down again. (Desolation Island)
This passage comes to mind, wonderfully adhering to the "show, don't tell" principle while not only reflecting Jack's conflicted emotions in this particular situation, but also his personal take on their relationship as described previously.
I am sure there are many passages like this one. Which are the most notable examples in your eyes?
Narrator: He was wrong.
I was wondering if there's a software compressor for the master channel of a computer. Like many, I usually stream movies nowadays, so VLC is of no use unfortunately. Any ideas? I'm on windows, if that matters.
