Lol I was trying to figure out a clever joke about that and didn't get anywhere
The greenish hue makes me think you live in the Matrix
That's just my weed mood led strip
Junger männlicher Nerd
- You are a fan of Harald Lesh's work,and have an interest in science.
- You are into videogames, both as a player/consumer and critic, possibly as a dev.
- You like a good story game. Not that it's necessarily the only genre you play
- You are left leaning due to ~~being on lemmy~~ 1984 and interested in privacy
- I guess you are between 35-45 years old.
If you'd like, tell me how accurate my guesses are :D
You're pretty close, nice! I'm not a dev and I play mostly roguelikes these days. Coming from competitive games like Dota, CS, OW. Age is somewhere in that range, Yes. Someone else also guessed right with "linksgrün versiffter gamer".
You speak German
You can read German
there is a novelization of final fantasy 7?
More like side stories, but Yes!
Linksgrün-versiffter Physik Gamer.
We would get along :)
You have just started reading
You like Astronomy/Astrophysics?
And especially anything by Harald Lesch.
You spend much time with YouTube and rocketbeans
Too many of these books look absolutely untouched.
Dante is the exception. It is also a hard one to understand. I assume you tried hard to read it but failed after 20% or so, an then you more or less ended your reading habits, even though most of the other ones (you got one on every birthday) are extremely easy stuff.
Good observation, I prefer to read on a paperwhite ereader, even if it isn't used as much anymore. I just pirate ebooks of books I bought to support the authors. Missed the mark slightly with the birthday guess though.
Do you think Dantes friends back in the day went "sick reference, bro your references are out of control, everyone knows that" but now it's been like 700 years or whatever and... it takes some effort now? Like right now we all know who "the orange idiot" would refer to, or "the king of rock n roll", but will people know that in 100 years even?

They tell me that you were able to play Final Fantasy 7 Remake and recognize more of the side characters than I did when I played.

They tell me that you may want to start visiting used bookstore more ;)
And the library!
:)
You dont have a large bookshelf since you stacked some on top like that (im in the same boat haha)
It says you're German and a big fan of Harald Lesch. I have no idea about the actual content.
That you have some strange mood lighting with poor CRI, mostly.
You like the idea of "What is out there" in space. And stories of a different world
Aye, and there most certainly is lots and lots of just... nothing. :D
Most likely. But the potential of what was or what could be is just as vast
They're all in German so I can only assume you speak German
du kannst lesen
Some literal translations of the books' names into English. They are unlikely to correspond with the real English titles, but might be enough for guessing what books these are in other languages.
Das ABC der Rollenspiele – The ABC of role playing games
Die göttliche Komödie – The divine comedy
Liegt die Antwort in den Sternen? – Does the answer lay in stars?
Eine kurze Geschicte des Universums – A short story of the universe
Der Außenirdische ist auch nur ein Mensch – Even the extraterrestrial is just a human
Ihr habt keinen Plan - darum machen wir einen – Youse have no plan - that's why we'll make one
Kosmologie für Füßgänger – Cosmology for pedestrians
Was hat das Universum mit mir zu tun? – What has the universe got to do with me?
Sieg der Blödigkeit – Victory of stupidity
Unberechenbar – Unreliable
Die Zukunftsformel – The formula for future
I think the Publishers' cabal should settle on a standard for which way the text reads on spines.
I wholeheartedly agree
Male, in your 20s
Ich wusste gar nicht, das Lesch so viele Bücher geschrieben hat. In jedem Fall mag ich deinen Enthusiasmus für seine Themen.
Einer der klarsten Köpfe, die wir in Deutschland haben. Ich liebe die gesunde Mischung aus Philosophie und Physik. Fing für mich schon beim Sender BR alpha an, als er noch an der Kreidetafel stand.

You like to read.
You speak German and are a nerd
Is there a shelfies community? Maybe there should be one.
Like Galileo in library form.
