Re-reading Ender's Game. There's something about the way the use of technology is described that feels almost ur-Cyberpunk. Pretty cool for a novel based on a story published in 1977.
Just finished watching Ender's Game (2013), will try to drop some thoughts or review in the comments. #justwatched #watched #cinemastodon #plex #whattowatch #moviedon https://trakt.tv/movies/ender-s-game-2013 #EndersGame #trakt

Und heute endlich mal geschafft, den #Film #endersgame zu schauen. Hätte nicht gedacht, dass der doch so tiefgründig ist. Wirft doch einige Fragen auf. Schade, dass es keine Fortsetzung geben wird. Kann ich aber jedem empfehlen.
My quick #review and thoughts about #EndersGame now that I finished it,
My first book of 2024, let's hope I read some more down the road!
Day 3 of #100DaysToOffload.
First book of the year: #EndersGame! Completed!
Great book with a great ending, I can't believe the movie kind of ruined it for me, I still remembered it from years ago since I saw it and I didn't even pay much attention to it on anything except for that finale...
When I started Ender's Game Alive I thought it was going to be an audio drama but instead it's a lot like Ender's Shadow; a retelling of the story from the teachers point of view.
I recommend this one for sure.
Reminiscing of Scott Card's "Ender's Game" novel, can't think of this social network but as the latest, real world implementation of the networks Valentine and Peter were posting in.

@damian_anslik very good point! I’m brand new to the #fediverse but it reminds me of the technology used in #endersgame which I always thought would be the best future for online communication. No ads, no prerogative by some overlord to push agendas. Just free and open communication. The only thing this place seems to be lacking for new users are subject categories to find content which is where #reddit really excels to build community
#Retrocomputing & #SciFi trivia: During his brief tenure as Compute! Magazine’s book editor in 1983, #EndersGame author #OrsonScottCard contracted Craig Chamberlain to write #programming books on the #Commodore64 based on the latter’s work on the #Atari 400 and 800 Pokey Player #music system.
Chamberlain’s second Compute! book, “All About the #Commodore 64, Volume Two,” was the first appearance of #Sidplayer, which would become the US's most popular #C64 music system.
Resale shop find. The Ender trilogy. Took me a couple months to find these.

During the holiday break I devoured the Speaker for the dead #audiobook. This #book is one of the "Sequels" in the #EndersGame book series.
It is not a fast-paced action packed book like it's predecessor. but rather a #enderverse themed story exploring the Speaker role of Ender Wiggins.
Multiple threads are fully explored in this book, but I primairly loved the storyline around of actually getting to know someone, their flaws, strengths, history and using empathy to know the whole truth.
