did the Dune guy ever write anything that wasn’t Dune or Dune related

nothing you'd necessarily want to read.

the list is on wikipedia and I had never heard of any of them besides the dune books

i binged most of them as audiobooks while working as a logger. You see many of the themes he wrote about in dune popping up here and there, lots of descriptions of ladies and hard men talking while doing inner monologues about the InSaNe twists and turns their conversations are taking. Some memorable ones are:

"Destination: void" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destination:_Void is pretty cool, some people stuck on a spaceship have to hack the oldschool computer to do a thing. Written with 1965 ideas about what future computer stuff would be like.

"The dragon in the sea" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dragon_in_the_Sea das boot with americans vs russkies, no women aboard so no weird descriptions of women is a plus.

"hellstroms hive" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellstrom%27s_Hive spies investigating a secret cult that that do genetic editing to become a mindless anthive and run around naked alot

"the dosadi experiment" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dosadi_Experiment What if australia was a convict planet designed to make badass supersoldiers, kinda like saudakars/mentants

Its mostly pulp but i like it

zeno's paradox works because a distance is infinitely divisible into smaller fractions without affecting its character. this "paradox" is invalid because at some point you are going to get down to one xeno and it can only be alive or dead. you can't half-kill it. sheesh

I don't really see the supposed drop-off in animation quality in Disenchantment between S1 and S2. Or in overall quality: it remaining p.-to-q.deece throughout. I hope it gets a S3?

luke is inconsolable after the murders of uncle owen and aunt beru. he has been binging on space whisky and deathsticks for several weeks. finally, he gets in the landspeeder and pushes the starter. we see him shoot off into the desert, and then after several seconds there is an explosion. fade to black.

Finished The Sad-Brained Horse Show.

I feel like they shoulda ended it an episode earlier than they did?

:geno:

E: Don’t get me wrong, it was a good episode and even a decent final episode but it feels almost like it cheated by not having the second-to-last episode be the last one? :shrug:
