Okay, I tried the Patricia Rodriguez version for a little, and maybe I'm biased by already being used to the Rachel Dulude version, but I personally find it much more enjoyable to listen to that one. So I'll guess I'll continue with the books in the US Audible for now.

I'm fine with most narrators, and the Rachel Dulude version has been working well for me, but I thought I might as well try the other one rather sooner than later, as I'd have to switch for book 4 anyway.

I'm usually alright with US Audible, to get around most geoblocks.
However the US only has the Rachel Dulude renditions of the Wayfarers series, which only covers 3 of 4 books, and the internet says that the Patricia Rodriguez rendition as sold in e.g. german Audible is better.

back on my bullshit

(once again got myself a second audible membership in a different market, to compare multiple narrations of the same book.)

New version from 2022

This specific example:

Old version from 2017 (and other years)

(With robot voices I mean speech that is heavily edited in a way that makes it sound extremely unnatural)

I find it really weird how 99% of german ads have weird robot voices speaking.
Recently I noticed that an ad from last year that had semi-natural voices is now rerun, but dubbed with a robotic ad-voice, so maybe companies just found this is more lucrative when selling to germans?

I can recommend this video by Micheal Hobbes about the moral panic that is Cancel Culture https://youtu.be/RkVYvp_CumI

It's so laughable how people cry about cancel culture, but Apple feels comfortable with advertising a movie to be "made by the visionary" John Lasseter. The guy who got fired from Pixar thanks to his actions, via #MeToo

They didn't dare to write the name though, too recent.

If anyone wants to join me in this experiment without getting 10 at once, slide into my DMs :)

I'm zero percent joking btw, I ordered some (10 for 30 bucks) and just filled one up and put it in a pillow case. It's bliss.

My head tends to overheat on stuffed pillows. I love water pillows. But they're expensive, break quickly and always have extra stuffing for warmth 😤

omg, i finally found the perfect pillow. turns out preppers knew best all along.

Haha I was so hyped about Eragon (2006) as a kid, might watch the whole movie again today.

(It's really bad, if that wasn't obvious)

installing F-Droid on my TV was easier than I thought it'd be 🤷🏼

Wohnzimmer think of the children?
