combinatorics - Proof of the inclusion-exclusion principle

For some insane reason I decided to find every unique statline in NBA history. I originally planned on listing exact unique statlines (i.e., Allan Houston’s 37/0/0/0/0) but I realized this would take much longer than I thought so instead, I changed the criteria to “the only time those numbers or better have been achieved in history" (Houston's statline is not unique in this case because plenty of players have had 37+/0+/0+/0+/0+ in a game).
To put it simply, if you search "nba player with _ points and _ rebounds and _ assists and _ steals and _ blocks in a game" on StatMuse and fill in the blanks with any statline on this list, only a single game will appear. Therefore, unique.
Statlines only include points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks.
Players are ordered by points (in descending order), players who are tied in points are ordered by year (in ascending order).
Blank spaces imply that the stat wasn't tracked during that game, I wanted to differentiate them from 0 but unfortunately they still had to be counted as such.
I'm only human so I'm subject to error, if you find a mess-up in my data or something that I missed, don't hesitate to let me know!
Thank you to u/crunchsmash for improving this table for me
Thank you to u/HeyIJustLurkHere for finding six new unique statlines for this list

Archon Hunt Boss Sequence Change:
Starting this Sunday, October 9th, the Archon Hunt will swap every Sunday moving forward at 8:00 PM ET (Syndicate reset time). The Archons will now also appear at a fixed rotation, as follows: Amar, Nira, Boreal.
Changes:

• Revenant’s Reave ability changes:
  
  • Reave will now scale with sprint speed for both distance traveled and speed while in Reave.
  • Reave can now be interrupted by jumping, which preserves your forward momentum.
    • The above changes were made to allow more movement focused builds!
• Nova’s Neutron Star Augment Changes:
  
  • Added line of sight (LOS) requirement to its AOE explosions and for the Stars to find targets, ignored for the first 5 meters
  • Reduced explosion radius from 16m to 8m.
    • After Neutron Star’s damage and range was buffed in the Veilbreaker update , the Augment's usage increased by over 67 times and climbing. Because of the Helminth system, this Augment was being used more than Nova herself. Changing the Augment to Heat damage while also releasing Archon Vitality resulted in higher damage than anticipated (multiplied by squadmates’ damage boosts), and the auto-seeking nature made Neutron Star far better at room clearing than other Helminth radial damage abilities like Thermal Sunder. We have a history of encouraging engagement with the enemy instead of automation, so LOS changes seemed the most important factor to address, while still letting it maintain the new high damage features.
• Reduced the Mastery Rank restriction of all Prime Warframes to 0.
  
  • Only 11/34 frames had any Mastery Rank restrictions, so we decided to make these consistent with the rest (there were no Mastery Rank restrictions on any non-Primed Warframes).
• The autocomplete feature when linking someone’s username in chat is no longer case sensitive.
  
• Made slight tweaks to the Conservation Lure call and Vasca Kavat escape sound FX.
  

Break Narmer Mission Fixes:

• Fixed loss of function when attempting to mount a Rampart while flying on Kahl’s Hellion Jetpack in the Prison Break mission.
  
• Fixed contact actions being disabled after running out of Hellion Jetpack fuel.
  
• Fixed the Genestamp waypoint not appearing in certain areas of the Prison Break mission tileset.
  
• Fixed a black square floating along one of the walls in the Sneaky Sabotage mission.
  
• Fixed Kahl’s Boltor Grattler doing inconsistent damage to the Wolf of Saturn Six when aiming under his feet in the Prison Break mission.
  

Fixes :

• Fixed damage types from equipped weapons applying to Mag’s Shards while she is standing in a zone created by Residual Arcanes.
  
  • The Arcane effects apply only to weapons, her Shards will only apply Slash damage as intended while in these zones.
• Fixed Volt being unable to pick up or carry his Shield after his Energy drops to 0.
  
• Fixed Clients experiencing loss of function after dying while using Sevagoth’s Exalted Shadow.
  
• Fixed Atlas’ Landslide ability triggering Archon Mod effects.
  
• Fixed the Slaytra’s Slash procs not lasting twice as long as normal (12 s) as indicated in its description.
  
• Fixes towards Styanax’s Final Stand projectile explosions damaging enemies through walls.
  
  • This ability already had a line of sight requirement, but sometimes the javelins would manage to pierce parts of the level
• Fixed the spear from Styanax’s idle animation not disappearing if the animation is interrupted while in the Warframe select menu in the Arsenal.
  
• Fixed a rounding error in the Arsenal that made it possible that the Ammo Maximum stat would not agree with the in-game value
  
• Fixed Styanax’s idle animation playing when looking at Secondary weapons in the Arsenal.
  
• Fixed the Eros Wings Ephemera’s selected colors not updating when equipped on OperatoDrifter.
  
• Fixed the Hey Kiddo Operator being invisible or swapped with Excalibur at multiple points in the Chimera Prologue Quest.
  
• Fixed the Depth of Field Captura setting being disabled if it is also disabled in your display settings.
  
  • This also fixes receiving an error related to Depth of Field after switching between Warframe/Operator.
• Fixed the “Waiting for other players: 1/2-4" message staying on the screen even if everyone has left the Archon Assassination arena in Archon Hunts.
  
• Fixed being able to chat link someone with a space in their name.
  
• Fixed the page 1 challenges in the Wave Rider Quest having incorrect input labels.
  
  • Was: "HOLD "
  • Now: HOLD CTRL (as intended)
• Fixed the Syndicate Pledge screen not being centered.
  
• Fixed scrolling in the weapon’s list in the Arsenal also scrolling the stats window.
  
• Fixed ‘Most Used’ percentages in the Profile page overlapping other text in several languages.

I have found a new home on AWS Lambda, RIP Heroku free tier.}

Hello everyone! I am a rare visitor here, but perhaps it is my turn.
Recently, the hysteria on the topic of online in EvE has moved to a new level and now we read not tears, but a lot of proposals, on the one hand - it's very good, but on the other hand - it shows that people who love the game are tired.
I like the game, but for some magical reason I don't feel enjoy playing it, probably because I don't believe in tomorrow.
One of the key reasons why I play Eve Online is the certainty of tomorrow, the certainty that I will spend my personal time and I won't have to do it again like in many other games. I come to others game, get the knowledge of how to play and I have to change the game because the previous game died. Eve online was a guarantee that after spending 2 years learning, I can definitely play for the next 5-10 years.
As scary as it sounds, in my 30's that's a very important point.
Now I can't see tomorrow and I can't justify CCP trying to explain from a logical point of view their every move.
But contrary to those who like to just complain, I am a supporter of the "criticize-suggest" theory.
​
I've read what the big alliances offer, particularly Dark Shines, and I agree with many of the points. (I would argue somewhere, but the game is in a state where any minimal good change is already a plus)
Perhaps I can try to offer something from the perspective of a player who is not part of a big collective, but represents a multitude of players, who plays solo, hunting other players and tying their farm to the fact that we are alone in this cold EvE space.

1. As I've said many times before, the filaments to Pochven are killing this game.

It is great folly to allow players to transport their assets from anywhere in space straight to JitaHub in 20-30 minutes of your time when you spend it AFK without any risk.
Certainly many people love this mechanic, but personally I love the live game more than the process, which makes it easy for me to play.
Why is this a bad thing? - Because the game is a lot of different players interacting with each other in different ways. There are those who do the logistics, and there are those who try to catch players at different stages of that logistics.
Back in 2012, when I was living in Curse region, my little alliance had a few jump freighters and we needed them. Without this service it was hard enough to live in 00 and I'm talking about NPC 00 space.
Playing all alone I was joining a collective and was forced to communicate within it. It was not a hardship, it created a social part where there could be none, such as now.
There is no need to maintain a relationship with someone, to socialize, to play together now. I can do everything myself, the logistics of small staff of things is nothing. Standing a little AFK and moving everything where it needs to go, and along with standing AFK, players who were camping 00, camping lowsecs disappear. You noticed that camps in Rancer became rare, the guys from SV5 left the game, and the other day I saw 5 people in Tama local.
Remember how cool it was to roam into 00 entrys- there were always people, camps, fun. And now there are 4 AFK ishtars farming in MOE - cool game, give me two.
I understand that filaments to Pochven have become the epitome of casual style of play, but is it really needed here? - Judging by what happens with the game people come all over the place not to idle at all.
​

1. Points of Interest.

This is the kind of thing that allows players to interact with each other.
If you consider daily roams to 00 space in a situation where you play alone or in a small group, the entire content has come down to a few variants of the game: ESS, where the inhabitants of the nulls given enough time to form a strong fleet against you in case you flew into an active system; and catching AFK players.
Both options are quite boring. ESS give good content, but very infrequently, afk ishtars I will not comment on.
Missing players who were actively farming anomalies and mining asteroids.
2.1 Anomalies. Now the entire anomaly farming can be divided into two groups:
- Those who realize how much of a crap farming in the zeros and do it on the afk ishtars
- Those who are still trying to play the game and farming on marauders.
The first option is not interesting for hunters, to the second option not all hunters are ready, especially those who are just trying themselves in this content, and therefore such a ship that even runs away at the sight of + local rarely becomes a point of interest.
2.2 Mining. About 90% of the mining I see in zeros is moon mining. You jump to system, see 5-10 Athanors and a mining fleet on the d-scan. Some Athanors are on 1 planet.
I think who fly solo and in small fleets have already felt my pain. If you are not one of them, it is very hard to find such a fleet and it will dock about 100 times in that time. So very often many of us just ignore the situation when we see 5+ athanors on the d-scan.
10% is ice mining and on the background of this content you can do your content.
I have not seen anyone actively mining ore sites, and also recall that for some reason the esteemed CCP removed the belts a few years ago.
I'm a kind person, but I'm really burning my ass off with this, straight up, as these asteroid belts are like about the crap business model to me.
The CCP removed the asteroid belts, giving a big f88k about officers and other NPC spawning on them, and after a long time they gave us back some asteroid belt in every system, which is VERY BEAUTIFUL'.
That is, in the 1st patch, they removed the belts for some unknown reason, and then later made a patch where they returned 1 belt. Awesome job. I suggest you remove the Rifter from the game and then add it back, but call it dRifter. :)
Putting together what I think in point 2:
The game needs points of interest where players will cross paths.
Personally, I don't see a problem with any combat complexes (other than expeditions) in zeros becoming public beacons when a player clears the first room and goes into the second room.
I think many old players remember that in 2011, 2/10, 1/10 were beacons and many people liked it, newcomers were competing for them, this is the warmest memory of the game for me personally.
Perhaps you should make moving asteroid belts with valuable resources, for example from low and hisec (hello Dark) in 00, such asteroid clusters can be seen on the map, and after clearing them to see where the next appeared. Residents of 00 will have access to low and hisec ores, something they sorely lack, but these ores won't be in large numbers and the value of mining them in hisec won't drop. Rorqual's jumping bridge will be used, and players will sometimes have to leave their comfort zone and leave their home systems and comfortable moons in exchange for those ores, which are in short supply in one corner of space or another.
Add random pirate missions to 00 claim space. Mission will be impossible to find purposefully, but it will be possible to find by moving on systems, farm of such mission will give LP, mission will be public and will be biacon, the income from such content to equate to 4-th (or 5 lvl) missions in NPC 00. This will lead to the fact that players will begin to move more actively and take risks, farming public content that brings them profit.
Increase the number of random connections in WH, but giving the new random WH a small total mass and a limit on the number of ships passed, so that it did not cause a boom fleets of Kikis 200+ ships.
WH which passes ~20 ships and has a mass of 500k, this will entail more interaction between players in WH, as well as simplify logistics and routes to the living people.
Citadels. This point will not be appreciated by many players, but let me tell you something.
I remember the golden days of small fleets and at that time there were no citadels in 00. There were the usual stations with the usual mechanics, without the casual features that would allow even a monkey (no comparison here, I'm actually taking a monkey as an example) not to die.
Previously, systems had a station and around this station bubbled with life if the system was inhabited. You understood where you had to be if you wanted to be part of that life.
The fleet would come into the system, warped to the station, bubled up, and something would start happening in the next 10 minutes.
The local guys undocked and there was no tether. Remember why living on the Caldar station was bad?- Station was kick out.
Any player error could have affected the content. We once had a marauder who undocked and got a bump out, and afterwards the local guys underdocked the fleet to save him. Remember the mechanics when it was possible to disable modules at the station when you used entosis link. Holy people made up those cool times.
Now I can undock, get tether and watch the fleet standing near my station.
And in general, I have at least 10 or 30 citadels in the system. It’s impossible to catch me, I can warp from the farm to any of the 30, try to do at least something with me.
​

1. Quality of Life.

I've really been feeling absolutely miserable lately, and that's due to a lot of the micro-moments that made my gameplay more interesting.
Years ago I happened to meet a faction NPC on a gate in zeros and got the blueprint for Bhaalgorn, I later built it and went solo roaming on it. I still remember it, even though it's been a long time.
The blueprints for faction ships are totally screwed and this is due to two reasons:

1. New build mechanics with a huge number of different items that don't synergize well with the drop of players online.

Popularizing gas mining or PI farm would have been good when Alpha accounts came into the game, a huge number of newbies would be mining this gas, but now that there's at best 14k online servers in NA TZ, it's not working. There aren't a lot of free hands mining unpopular resources. There is no competition in PvE for players to go mining gas or PI for exm. Why mine gas when you can "mine" x-type modules?

1. The ability to get ready-made ships in the LP shop. What did CCP expect when they made it harder to build and didn't take away the ability to get huge amounts of LPs in zeros?

Burner missions bring huge amounts of LPs, the mechanics of the stands allows endless farming of burners, many actual NPC zeros are filled with fleets of daredevils and kirins, their infinite number, part of the fleets function on third-party programs.
Why should a player collect a huge number of different resources, when another player can get a pirate cruiser in an hour and a half game already ready? Are you playing your own game, dear CCP? Are you aware of this?
I don't mind the fact that you can get a finished ship, otherwise Pirate ships would cost like a Boeing wing and no one would use them since T2 ships are devalued.
You can't just fix one of the punts, everything has to be comprehensively changed and not after the next fanfest, not in a year, not in a year and a half.
We want to believe in tomorrow, we don't want to look for other games!
This whole scarcity era thing has gone on too long and no one believes in it, they believe more in a series of very strange patches that bury each other.
​
The next quality-of-life item is surprisingly in-game donation.
I really liked monetization in EvE and really like the comprehensive discount for 3-6-12-24 months now, but I'm tired of us (players) having constant temporary discounts to buy omega for real money.
I keep seeing these discounts in no way related to patches. I don't mind doing a discount + a good patch, but discounts that appear at random times and make the plex's price jump in market. I'm tired of this, and I'm also tired of the general hysteria, as people do not perceive this as a benefit, people know that today it is "cheap", and tomorrow they will buy Omega not for 2kkk, but for 2.3kkk, and then for 2.5kkk. It pisses everyone off. We want to see news about CHANGES, not constant news about some extraordinary discount.
You increased the cost of the Omega, what the hell kind of discount? Maybe then you should reduce the cost of the Omega and not give any temporary discounts? Well, if you care so much about us.
Or at least do the content for the game.
In addition very much would like an official statement (maybe it already was) from the representatives of CCP on the subject of the sale of SP for real money.
I will not refer to the news from you, which was years ago, and will not be referring to the letters about the possibility of buying SP, I think you all remember it and players all remember, where you promised that there is NO sale of SP for real money. Maybe you should change the wording or make a similar post in 2022 saying that you are planning to continue selling SP for real money or not. This is important for players, personally for me this is a fundamental factor whether I should think about other online games or not, as I personally am not satisfied with such a model and I would like to understand in advance how to schedule my free time for games.
​
Back to the ships. Marauders cost 1kkk and 1.5kkk with modules.
If you have minimal game experience, such a marauder gives about 3000 good aplying DPS and tanks 5000+ DPS. All good?
I don't mind when there was a capital change patch and carriers became very formidable ships, but this is a capital ship that is very clumsy. The Marauder, on the other hand, has an MJD once every 1 minute, and is generally a BS.
I'm not against these ships in the game, I've been waiting for years to finally fly these ships, but the fact that they cost 1kkk is ludicrous.
I understand how such a price is formed, mining has improved, people in zeros have nothing to mine, they mine moons, moon ores are getting cheaper, T2 is getting cheaper, ok, this is gameplay, BUT it does not quite work right.
CCP has always been famous for their economic department that keeps an eye on the game. What are these guys going to say now?
Rattlesnake 1kkk, Golem 1kkk, Gila with fit 450kk. Something is clearly wrong.
Marauders reminds me of changing Rorquals. Seems cool, but in practice it takes 5 years to clean up the consequences.
​
If you don't know what to do about it at all, then add Navy BS to the build formula instead of T1 BS. That would both increase the popularity of the upcoming FW and improve the price. Players will really dissatisfy, but you somehow changed rorquals and it will apparently go through a ton of pain, but probably somehow this situation needs to be addressed.
Many people are tired of the fact that we play Marauder Online and there is no reason to use other ships in the game, but at the same time Marauders should have a content, they should be left in the game, not as it was many, many years, when no one used them.
​
To be honest this post could be completed endlessly, but perhaps now, I would like the game to change at least something, perhaps what Dark Shines suggested, perhaps what I suggest, but I'm tired of the fact that over the past year, the most serious changes are constant discounts on something, well, and Data complexes in Amar FW space, and yesterday they migrated to Caldari FW space. Cool.
​
There is no hate in my post, just pain that my favorite game is bad and I don't see a future.
On the one hand I see some very cool guys getting to the CCP team, hello Aurora, hello Suitonia, hello Bjorn, hello Alpha (he's been on the team a long time) and other guys.
On the other hand I don't see any changes. Where there are gaps, but the rest of the sky is covered in darkness..

EDIT: Damn, wasn't expecting this to blow up! Thanks for all the encouraging words (and awards). Cell data comes and goes here so I'll be checking the thread here and there answering whenever I can. It's really nice to talk about this stuff though because I'm pretty much the only serious reader up here lol
A little background first: In early 2021 my life kind of fell apart very quickly. I lost my job, my long-term relationship of almost 10 years dissolved and I had a falling out with my dad, leading me to damn near a mental breakdown.
So I decided to make a clean break of it and do something I had always fantasized about - I left the big city and everything in my life behind and travelled up to northern British Columbia, Canada with nothing but a backpack, some clothes and an e-reader. Found work at a remote wilderness lodge just doing maintenance and odd jobs. The plan was to disconnect myself from everything and be somewhere in nature with barely any internet and cell service.
I really just wanted to isolate myself, lose myself in some good books, and recalibrate my mental state after all the shit that went down. The last 12-13 months have basically just been work, read and hike/camp among the beautiful northern landscapes the lodge was located in.
I managed to read close to 40 books in that timeframe, and I wanted to share my thoughts on them with the sub as reading, more than anything, helped me center myself and get some perspective on my life. I read across a variety of genres and have ranked them with a little mini-review below, from worst to best. I didn't do an overall ranking, but rather ranked the books I read within their specific genres/categories.
Classics/Literary Fiction:

1. A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara: Honestly, this book kind of irritated me in how transparent it was at being shamelessly emotionally manipulative. It was certainly very well-written, but I found Jude just unbelievably stupid as a character and after a certain point in the story, found myself losing any kind of empathy towards him. The rest of the characters are fairly non-descript. The book is kind of morbidly fun to see just how over the top the misery porn can get though, but I hesitate to actually call it “good”
   
2. A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway: I’m starting to think that Hemingway might just not be for me. I’ve read The Old Man and the Sea and The Sun Also Rises previously, and found them “just okay”. That was my prevailing sentiment towards AFtA as well. I do like Hemingway’s terse, succinct style, but in this one, I felt it actually kind of worked against him because it makes both the war setting and central relationship feel a bit flat. But the worse thing about the book is the character of Catherine. Jesus christ, she is annoying. Just an insipid, silly character. I did like the downbeat, depressing ending though
   
3. A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens: I have to admit, I was ready to hate this book throughout the first couple hundred pages. It’s dense, slow and filled with a shit ton of what fills like unimportant minutiae. But it eventually comes together, and the slow buildup really manages to create an epic scope and magnitude that are unlike anything else I’ve read from old Charles. It’s a story that demands concentration and attention, and by the final, powerful third act, it’s well worth it.
   
4. East of Eden by John Steinbeck: An epic, multi-generational family saga, East of Eden is a work that for me works masterfully on both an epic and an personal scale. It’s hard to encompass everything this story does so well in a short review. It’s both a biblical, mythical retelling as well as an intimate character study punctuated with some best-in-class writing. It makes the Salinas Valley into a living, breathing entity of its own, with these macro and micro tales of good and evil spanning its expanse. Also, fuck Cathy Ames. All my homies hate Cathy Ames
   
5. To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf: This is my first encounter with Woolf, and it solidified for me that I will be coming back to her body of work multiple times. It was definitely a bit of a struggle getting into it, as you’re jusyt thrown into the deep end with Woolf’s abstract prose and stream of consciousness style. But once you grab hold of what Woolf is trying to do, it becomes a beautifully melancholic story with a pastoral feel that nonetheless manages to really capture a huge gamut of human emotions and perspectives
   
6. Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy: Horrifically beautiful. It’s fairly challenging to start, but once you start vibing with McCarthy’s style and writing, the narrative just completely immerses you into it. It’s like a surreal, fever-dream, gruesomely violent vision of the Wild West with gorgeous depictions of the landscape, brilliantly written dialogue and prose that begs to be read over and over, and the most unforgettable villain I’ve come across in literature. This is a novel I can see myself going back to time and time again
   
7. The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky: I was flip-flopping between this one and Middlemarch as the #1 book in the classics/literature category but it’s very close. This book is, on the surface, “just” a murder-mystery but in actuality is a dense, complex philosophical exploration of various facets of life. This is a masterpiece of character development as we see ideas of free will, morality and family told through multiple different lenses. It’s also a bit of a treatise on religion and the meaning of faith. In short, it’s a lot and there’s probably a ton that I didn’t even get in one read-through. Nevertheless, it’s an epic tale that I found both illuminating and entertaining
   
8. Middlemarch by George Eliot: A wonderful, atmospheric slow burn, and might be one of the best books I’ve ever read. Honestly probably in my top 5 of all time. I found it to be such an all-encompassing look at the things that make us human, and feels both incredibly personal and universal at the same time (kind of like East of Eden). It’s a story about marriage (hit me particularly close to hom) and about sacrifice, with masterfully sketched characters and an exploration of life in era to the minutest details. “Immersive” is a word that gets thrown around a lot for books but that’s what Middlemarch truly is – a totally lived in feeling of a small, nowhere English town a couple of hundred years ago. I found it unforgettable
   

Historical Fiction:

1. Shogun by James Clavell: This is a huge, huge novel, both in its page count, as well as the scope of the story and the characters. Historically speaking, it did seem a little mythologized and perhaps overly romanticizing of the whole samurai/warrior culture, and the main protagonist is a bit of a bland nothing white male fantasy. Clavell’s prose is also merely workmanlike. But as an entertaining story, it fares much better, and is actually very well-paced for something that’s almost 1200 pages.
   
2. Hawaii by James Michener: This is my first book written by Michener, and I can see why he came to be seen as the godfather of historical fiction. This, like Shogun, is an absolute unit of a book, and although it’s plenty flawed, I came away from it with something close to awe just based on the sheer scope of the timeframe that Michener captures here. the formation of Hawaii in the first chapter is some of the best storytelling I read in the past year. However, this is a book that gets progressively less interesting as it goes and moves into the “present” time, and the characters are little more than pawns. Still recommended though especially if you find Hawaii interesting
   
3. Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel: Once I figured out that everytime this book uses “he” (which is a LOT), it’s almost always referring to the main character Thomas Cromwell, I started to enjoy it a lot more. It’s really eloquently written and Cromwell is a brilliantly developed character. It’s a story that requires a lot of focus but to me it eventually paid off, and the narrative really carries you along once you get used to Mantel’s idiosyncrasies.
   
4. I, Claudius by Robert Graves: well-written, funny and hugely informative. Really a slow burn character study of the eponymous Claudius, and the compulsively entertaining look at the back-door dealings and family conflicts of that era in Rome. I thought it also did a pretty great job at exploring the thirst of power and the excesses certain people are willing to go to achieve it. Just a great, multifaceted read overall.
   
5. Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry: This book is seriously a contender for one of my top 10 favourites of all time. To begin with, the two main protagonists are just incredibly written and developed, and the attachment you have towards them carries you through to the monumental length of the narrative. It’s an emotionally powerful story with an excellent main plot and smaller side stories that are all great in their own right. Just a truly epic tale told by a master storyteller
   

Science Fiction:

1. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline: I imagine I would have probably liked this book if I was still in high school, crammed as it is full of video game power fantasies and endless pop culture references. But good god, actually reading it as an adult was a painful experience. Other than being a compendium of 80s homages, it fails spectacularly on almost every level. Bad writing, bad characters, tedious, dull storytelling. It’s frankly just awful
   
2. Foundation by Isaac Asimov: Look, I know this is a foundational (hehe) “canon” text in the sf genre, but I just found it to have too many issues to truly enjoy. The concepts and ideas are great – eye-opening and fascinating – but for me, the book fell flat in almost every other area. The characters are little more than cardboard cutouts, the writing style is about as wooden as it gets, and the book is very much of its time (i.e. dated af) when it comes to women. Really, this is just a collection of scenes with characters sitting in rooms and talking. Dynamic storytelling it is not, despite the interesting concepts
   
3. Dune by Frank Herbert: I don’t know if this will be unpopular or not, but I honestly thought Dune was just…ok. I watched and loved the movie, and decided to jump into the book afterwards. While I do appreciate the worldbuilding that went into it – as well as the often weird, surreal 60s drugged-out atmosphere – as a piece of storytelling I feel like Dune has been improved upon over the years. I still respected it as a forerunner of so many different kinds of sff stories we have these days, but taken on its own merits I found it to be interesting but rather turgid on the whole
   
4. Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson: I can’t imagine a more definitive fictional story about Mars than this one. The amount of thoughtful research and extrapolation of science, technology, politics and society that has gone into this novel is simply phenomenal. It honest to god at times reads like an instruction manual for the first Mars colonists, whenever we end up getting there. That does work to the novel’s detriment at times though, as it can feel a bit dry and overly technical at parts. But I still found it to be a grand, immersive read, and the somewhat boring parts were more than compensated for by the overall sweep of the story and the author’s incredible vision of a Martian future for humanity
   
5. The Dispossessed by Ursula K Le Guin: Complex, thoughtful and human. This isn’t the first Le Guin book that will appear on this list either. This book is the best depiction of a realistic utopia I’ve ever seen in fiction, and it does what the best sf does and presents a fascinating “what-if” look at a cool concept. Unlike a lot of sf, it succeeds hugely in two other areas. The first is creating a fully-realized central character – Shevek is an awesome protagonist with a lot of depth and nuance. The second is Le Guin’s inimitable prose, which is elegant and beautiful while still somehow managing to be simple and concise
   

1.Hyperion by Dan Simmons: This might be the best sf novel I’ve ever read. It’s the rare sf story (imo) that is both excellent from both a literary and “entertainment” perspective. It’s just crammed full of cool ideas and concepts, and I loved the Canterbury Tales-esque structure, which leads to the book’s greatest asset – the characters. I found each “pilgrim” to be fascinating and well-developed, and their respective stories were beautifully told, ranging from thrilling, scary, funny to downright haunting and tragic. The Priest’s Tale and the Scholar’s Tale have both been etched in my mind since I read them. This book is an incredible achievement and to me a high-water mark for the speculative fiction genre
Horror:

1. The Troop by Nick Cutter: Not much to say about this one. It’s a pulpy, B-movie-esque story without much in the way of characterization, prose or depth. But it does disgusting body horror better than almost any other horror novel I’ve ever read. Some of the scenes are downright grotesque and repulsive, and I have a high tolerance for that kind of stuff. It’s a quick, easy read and but not particularly memorable outside of the gross-out factor
   
2. The Elementals by Michael McDowell: A fun, atmospheric and really well written Southern Gothic horror story. This book is akin to Haunting of Hill House in that it deals in subtlety and a sense of creeping doom. It’s a definitely slow burn but that really helps it in building a stifling sense of gloom and dread. The characters are fascinating and it really is very well-written. Highly recommended if you like horror novels focused more on atmosphere than gore/jump scares
   
3. The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories/The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Stories by HP Lovecraft: I’m combining these two collections into one as they’re essentially just one big compendium. After reading these, I’ve become a huge Lovecraft fan. I’m aware of his racism and xenophobia but I believe in separating the art from the artist to a certain degree. Anyway, I thought these stories were mostly pretty awesome. I actually love Lovecraft’s verbose, overwrought prose – it really gives the stories a certain level of operatic, melodramatic ambiance. Some of the Dunsany-inspired stories are downright gorgeous. The mythos is fascinating and in the best stories – At the Mountains of Madness, The Shadow over Innsmouth, The Colour out of Space etc. – he reaches a kind of dark, horrific grandeur. Reading these in the remote northern landscape was truly a fantastic experience
   
4. The Books of Blood by Clive Barker: Dark, horrific, visceral, erotic – this is an incredible collection of horror short stories. Barker is a hell of a writer – a few levels above most in this genre, and he has a uniquely twisted and dark imagination obsessed with the human body, and in particular, sexuality, and how the body can be a battleground of all sorts of horrors, physical or otherwise. Some of them also have a dreamlike, surreal feel to them. In particular, I was blown away by “In the Hills, the Cities” – it’s a story unlike any I’ve ever read before, mind-boggling, bizarre and haunting. Also of note are “The Midnight Meat Train”, “Rawhide Rex” and “Dread”, but honestly they are all pretty damn great even at their weakest
   

1.The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson: The amazing show led me to the book, and although the source material is almost completely different other than sharing some names with the characters from the show, it’s an incredible story in its own right. Jackson’s prose is probably the best I’ve come across in this genre, and her ability to create atmosphere and mood is without peer. The setting just feels alive in all its creepy, gothic glory. It’s a fairly small, intimate story but a very powerful, often gut-wrenching one in how it captures the main character’s very human flaws and insecurities. In the end, it leaves us pondering about what’s more terrifying – a seemingly haunted house full of ghosts or the doubts and self-loathing in our own hearts?
Non-Fiction:

1. Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari: Yeah…I wasn’t really feeling this one. I understand why it’s popular and it did start off very well. But the vast majority of the book is just too full of speculation and the author’s own musings without much in the way of concrete evidence. I also found his mythologizing of hunting and gathering and seeming dislike of the agricultural revolution strange and misguided. The whole book just felt a mile wide and inch deep. Superficial, surface-level exploration without any true insight or in-depth analysis of a complex topic
   
2. Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain: Wow, if ever there was a non-fiction book tailor-made for Reddit, this is it lol. I have to admit, this book did come to me at the perfect time, as I was in a pretty closed-off, solitary mood after making my big move. I liked it well enough, and the insight into analyzing introvert behaviour was fairly interesting. But honestly, for the most part, this book just felt like it was preaching to the choir, about how awesome and helpful introversion is. It tends to conflate a lot of psychological aspects and concepts with a generalized sweep without really delving deep into them. Ultimately, it really feels like a narrative that’s just self-affirmation for introverts. Which I guess is not all bad
   
3. The Ancestor’s Tale by Richard Dawkins: I’ve always been a huge fan of Dawkins and evolutionary science in general, and this book to me, is his masterwork. It’s painstakingly detailed look at 4 billion years of evolution through certain ancestors that’s structured like the Canterbury Tales. It’s a little different from Dawkins’ other books in that it’s a bit more technical and maybe not as friendly to the layperson – and also missing his trademark snark and cynicism (whether that’s a good thing is up to the read). But it’s incredibly enlightening and informative, and even eye-opening.
   
4. The First Three Minutes by Steven Weinberg: If you have any interest in astronomy and cosmology at all, then this book is a must-read. It’s fairly old, written near the end of the 70s, but aside from missing the discovery of dark matter, it’s still very much relevant and probably the best encapsulation of the big bang and the beginning of our universe you can find. It straddles the line perfectly between being appropriate for a casual reader and someone more academic
   
5. Endurance by Alfred Lansing: Boy did I pick the perfect book to read while living in a cold, remote landscape. Endurance is without a doubt one of the most thrilling, intense stories of survival I’ve ever read. You come away with awe and respect at not only the courage, determination and perseverance of these men, but also at the sheer unfeeling power of nature itself. Some of the events and twists are so crazy that it feels like the contrivances of a Hollywood director – in the best way possible. Lansing captures everything with some truly mind-boggling amount of research from primary sources, and creates an incredibly entertaining – and scary - narrative
   

Fantasy:

1. The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan: This was the only DNF book for me out of my entire list. I had read Eye of the World and The Great Hunt before, and I did a quick summary read-through of those two books to catch me up on the third book. I remember finding the first two books flawed even when reading them as a teenager but tried to give the series another shot. It’s a no go, to be honest. I just can’t over how weirdly juvenile and archaic all the characters and their interactions are. It borders on being cringeworthy and Jordan’s understanding and writing of female characters is just baffling. The plot just seems like more of the same. Bad guy of the week needs to be stopped by motley crew of magically powered teenagers. I’m calling it quits on Wheel of Time for good
   
2. Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson: I read the first book of Stormlight a few years back and thought it was alright. Have seen rave reviews of WoR and decided to give it a shot and honestly came away really underwhelmed. There are some cool ideas for worldbuilding here but I don’t really find Sanderson to be a good writer at all. Aside from the wooden prose, the characters just come off as shallow, fantasy archetypes and the plot is both convoluted and nonsensical at the same time. Too much time is spent on explaining how powers and magic works – which I also found to be an issue with the first book. I can see the appeal of these books for younger readers as they basically are like spectacle-filled action movies, but they are not for me
   
3. Red Rising/Golden Sun by Pierce Brown: I read these back to back because they’re fairly quick, easy reads. These are essentially mindless action movies in book form and they were a pretty nice change of pace as I needed something lighter after Wolf Hall. The character is a total Gary Stu, the dialogue is ridiculous and the story is crazy over the top. But yeah, it’s pretty fun, can’t deny that
   
4. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susannah Clarke: Man, this book might have taken me the longest out of everything I read in the past year, and there were times when I was contemplating dropping it. I’m glad I persevered though because I eventually came to love it. It’s essentially a Victorian novel, written in that era’s style with almost scary accuracy, and a fantasy novel-of-manners. Once you get on its wavelength, you start to appreciate the writing and the beautifully immersive world with some fascinating characters. The footnotes are amazing and the slow burn really helps create a wonderful atmosphere that carries you through to the end
   
5. A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K Le Guin: Man, Le Guin is on her way to becoming one of my favourite authors. This little book is beautiful and punches far above its weight in terms of ratio of size to content. It’s a small little thing, especially compared to a lot of the bloated doorstoppers common to the genre but for me, it contained more emotion and wisdom than 10 Jordans or Sandersons. Written in Le Guin’s clear yet elegant prose, it has a fairy-tale-esque melancholy atmosphere, as if it’s a story you’re being told in front of a fireplace by your grandfather or something. It’s a story of self-discovery and learning to accept the dark parts of yourself, all brilliantly written. Will be continuing with the rest of the series eventually
   
6. The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe: Preface – I only read Shadow and Claw so far but holy shit. What a book. Mysterious, mystical, weird, beautiful and often frustrating – BotNS is unlike any fantasy I’ve ever read. It probably has the most gorgeous prose I’ve ever come across in the genre, and the usage of allegory and metaphor was really well done. The strange, dreamlike, almost surreal ambiance is what really stood out to me, and despite the obfuscations of the plot and the language, this still makes the book easy to get lost in

Lost tribes of Israel and space Nazis come out of closet as Satanic rule collapses. There can be no doubt the planet earth is going through changes that are beyond biblical in proportion. That is why an ancient secret society -with roots going back to the biblical Jacob in Egypt- as well as space Nazis on flying saucers are coming out of the closet. This is happening because an esoteric war that has been raging for thousands of years is coming to an end. What we are witnessing is an end to millennia of Satanic rule on this planet.
Let us start with events in China because they hold the key to so much else that is happening and is about to happen. China was touted by top Satanist Klaus Schwab Rothschild (Rothschild=red shield of satan) as the model for their digital human animal farm New World Order. he plan the Satanists had for this planet was to genetically modify every human into farm animal-type obedience, microchip their brains and control every aspect of their lives through constant, intrusive digital surveillance. In other words, literally, turn the planet into a giant human farm. [China implemented all this, blah, blah blah]
Well, the Satanists underestimated the Chinese. Chinese history shows that people will put up with a lot, but, when a certain point is reached, they simultaneously explode into rebellion. That is exactly what happened last week after Asian secret societies mobilized. First, top enforcer and former Chinese President Jiang Zemin died suddenly “after a long illness.” Following that, police and soldiers moved in and started dismantling PCR testing facilities and arresting the white-suited zombie enforcers.
The Asian secret societies are also aware the so-called pandemic was a combination of a 5G electromagnetic attack with the release of viruses by Rothschild-controlled laboratories in China. It is no coincidence that Klaus Schwab Rothschild was spotted at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Washington DC last week.

Inside Biden’s Billion Dollar, Drunken Gala Dinner [for French President Macron]. Thursday night’s liberal lollapalooza at Tyler Perry Studios’ “White House” was a farrago of drunkenness, paranoia, chicanery, pomposity, and alcohol-fueled rage toward Donald Trump and Elon Musk...Pelosi was tipsy when she arrived at the feast and sauntered to an open bar replete with scintillating bottles of pricey liquor–Clase Azul tequila, 50-year-old Appleton Estate Rum, Macallan Sherry Oak whiskey, and, to top it off, Chateau Margaux grand vin. Chilled decanters of 1959 Dom Perignon sat in ice buckets at every dinner table. As guests donned in tuxedos or ballroom gowns funneled inside the imitation White House, Pelosi lingered at the bar, heartily sampling various liquors while the bartender stared at her in dazed bewilderment...Meanwhile, Pelosi continued indulging in drink and, therefore, losing her inhibitions. At one point in the evening, she made a comment so cringeworthy that those within earshot feigned deafness or simply distanced themselves. Her speech slurred, she said she had “the best and biggest boobs in the House, better even than,” she added with distaste, “AOCs or MTGs.”...Later in the evening a splenetic, irascible Biden was overheard saying that “I need my candy,” after which his personal physician, Dr. Kevin O’Conner, escorted him from the banquet hall to a private room. Biden reappeared 20 minutes afterward, rejuvenated and refreshed, and loquaciously touted his “accomplishments” to rapturous applause. “Candy is Biden’s codeword for Adrenochrome,” our source said. “He was going downhill, so got his shot or infusion, then came back to serenade his sympathetic audience.
[As previously reported, Pelosi was arrested after the banquet & hauled off to Gitmo] AG sources told Real Raw News Saturday morning that Pelosi has been charged with multiple counts of treason and seditious conspiracy—coincidentally, perhaps, the very same charges she told the Department of Justice to level against Oath Keeper Stewart Rhodes, [also] The United States Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps has released the name of a Hollywood producer who was arrested after attending the criminal Biden regime’s banquet last Thursday evening. That person is Eli Roth, an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and actor whose name is synonymous with torture-porn: Roth is best known for directing the film Hostel, a ghoulish fright-fest in which attractive, scantily clad young women lure horny college boys to an industrial warehouse owned by a secret society...According to a military arrest warrant reviewed by RRN, Roth’s snuff flicks weren’t entirely fictional. The document alleges that Roth sought to make his films as realistic as possible; Before principal filming began on Hostel, Cabin Fever, and The Green Inferno, Roth rented property in Bilisht, Albania, and used his underworld connections to hire members of the Albanian mafia to torture and murder people in ways that would eventually appear in the films.

• [Source: AMG News which is becoming a rival to RRN. AMG's source is---Sorcha Faal!] The Ark of Gabriel: Unearthing an Ancient Secret Weapon – What Do the Russians, the Pope, and the Patriarch Kirill Have to Do With The Ark of Gabriel?

Not to be confused with the Ark of the Covenant, which houses the two stone slabs of the Ten Commandments, the Ark of Gabriel, which is not mentioned in the Christian Bible, is a mysterious device, a secret weapon that many people are only beginning to learn about. Its legend has been perpetuated by the havoc it has wreaked over the centuries, as well as its potential to be unleashed upon the world.
Wild rumours that a fabled device or weapon called the “Ark of Gabriel” has been found under the Masjid al-Haram Mosque – the holiest site in Islam – are sweeping across the darker corners of the internet.
Legend tells the Archangel Gabriel – who told the Virgin Mary she would give birth to Jesus and dictated the Koran to the Prophet Muhammed – also entrusted an ark or box of “immense power” to the founder of the Muslim faith.
Muhammed was told to bury the ark in a shrine at a “place of worship” – for it to be brought out as the end of the world approaches.
Paranoid survivalists believe Saudi Arabia has uncovered the ark during a major construction project at the Grand Mosque – and handed it to the Russians.
They claim the Russian military is taking the ark to the Antarctic – possibly to a former Nazi UFO base.
...[An] attempt to remove the ark on September 24 caused a massive “plasma emission” that resulted in more than 4,000 deaths – Sorcha Faal claims. More than 2,000 were indeed killed in Mecca on that date – but the deaths were blamed on a stampede during the Hajj pilgrimage...
On hearing the news, Russian president Vladimir Putin reportedly dispatched the naval research vessel Admiral Vladimisky to collect the ark from the Saudi port city of Jeddah – the gateway to Mecca – and take it to the Antarctic. Two Russian battle satellites were launched to protect the Admiral Vladimisky and its precious cargo and a fleet of Russian warships, a salvage tug and oil tanker – carrying out manoeuvres in the Indian Ocean – have been ordered to rendezvous with it.

• [Source: Enlightened Contact with Extra Terrestrial Intelligence. Paraphrased.] The eruption of Mauna Loa is due to the Military slapping Pele in the face. (Pele is the goddess of fire & volcanos. In popular culture, she is supposed too be vengeful. In traditional beliefs, volcanic eruptions are for purifying & cleansing.) The government claims those structures on Mauna Loa are observatories, but they are really entrances to deep underground military bases (DUMBS). What's really happening--"[We] are well aware of what goes on in some of those deep underground facilities, things so decadent experiments beyond most people’s ability to comprehend. There are also, 'rumors' they are being destroyed, cleaned up, filled with sea water or lava, or blown up to put an end to the evil operations. Knowing this puts a whole new spin on what is unfolding. For all we know Pele just might be cleaning up all the desecration of sacred lands or a combination of both." Expect UFOs. They always show up around major eruptions.
