How to Spot AI Audiobooks on Libby
Apr. 21st, 2026 08:30 pmlifehacker_feedDespite what the headline of this article might lead you to believe, I don't think AI voice generation is inherently bad. Certainly there are cases where it makes sense, like preserving people's voices when they lose the ability to speak themselves, or turning your notes into an AI "podcast" to keep studying on-the-go, or to make written content more accessible to people with low vision. And in contrast to clunkier older tools, modern AI makes it easy to generate a realistic voice you can use in a number of scenarios.
But in my humble opinion, art isn't usually a proper use case for AI voices. If I choose to listen to an audiobook, I am almost assuredly looking for an experience, rather than a simple means to get the text into my ears. As such, I want a narrator with a talent for dramatic reading, someone who will be able to voice all the different characters, tap into inflections and emotions, and sell me on the story I'm listening to. I don't want an AI voice whose training mimics these things, but doesn't actually accomplish them—and I definitely don't want it taking the job of a real person who can.
Library digital lending app Libby says it does not make decisions when it comes to AI-generated content on its platform; rather, the app simply serves to make available to borrowers the content that libraries themselves have purchased. That means if you're passionate about your stand against AI-generated books and audiobooks, you may want to give your feedback to your local library. And if you want to avoid listening to AI-generated audiobooks from Libby, there's a simple way to spot them.
The obvious tell that a Libby audiobook uses AI narration
Luckily, it's not hard to identify AI narration on Libby, assuming the publisher has labeled its books properly—you just need to check who narrated the book. First, select an audiobook, then scroll down to the information section of the page. Under "NARRATOR," you'll want to look out for "synthesized voice" or "digital voice." These are the two tags Libby uses to identify AI narrators, which sit next to the fake name the publisher gave the bot that "narrated" the book. You can them tap the name to see all of the books read by this AI voice, and add them to whatever the opposite of your to-read list is.
You do usually need to scroll through the information section in order to see these labels, as the cover art and title won't necessarily include this disclosure. That said, I have seen some audiobooks include an AI disclosure at the top of the description, so keep an eye out when browsing a new audiobook.
Alternatively, you can personally seek out AI audiobooks on Libby, in case you want an idea of what you're up against, and which audiobooks to avoid in the future. As highlighted by Mashable, since Libby typically labels AI narrators as "synthesized voice" or "digital voice," you can search for these keywords to quickly find a collection of audiobooks that use AI voices, or search through the AI voices themselves. Jaden Skye, for example, has "narrated" five audiobooks available on Libby—despite being a synthesized voice.
Of course, all of this is dependent on whether or not the publisher discloses this AI voice use in the first place. If they don't, this method will fall flat. In that case, trust your ears: If you pick up on the usual tells for AI-generated speech, like weird pacing or odd pronunciation, don't assume it was a bad take. Do a quick Google search for the name of the narrator to confirm whether they actually exist.

Project Hail Mary
Apr. 21st, 2026 02:13 pmhalfshellvenusWhat a fantastic movie! We finally got to see it, and absolutely loved it. Funny, heartfelt, sad at times, and really, really good. I was glad I hadn't read the book beforehand, because that made the entire story a surprise and I enjoyed discovering it. I've became a late fan of Ryan Gosling, thanks to his work in Bladerunner 2049 and Barbie. Who would have thought?
We also watched a Netflix preview screening that I can't talk about. This is the third one, though, with the first one being about 8 months ago. Do they ever rework those movies based on beta-group feedback? Or just scrap the projects? :O
Saturday, we saw My Oxford Year, which we both liked quite a bit. Romances are really hit and miss, but this one was good. Our son was out of town this weekend, so this was a good opportunity. Romances and romantic comedies are not his thing.
In TV series, I've been watching an older detective procedural called Blue Murder on BritBox, which I quite like. But I've veered off temporarily to binge-watch Our Flag Means Death on Hulu. What a bizarre show. Kind of cracktastic, really. I'm mainly in it for Taika Waititi and the weird minor characters. :O
We had quite a bit of rain and wind last week, so I've been biking in the garage more than I'd like. More thunderstorms and lots of rain today, so I'll be in there again in a few hours! There will be a river or two running through the garage, and now that the floor is epoxy instead of the concrete it used to be, it's really risky to go in there on bare feet. The floor always looks wet, which means you can't see when it actually IS wet, and it's as slippery as glass. :(
Time to start a new hour-long series in there, now that I've finished another Harlan Coben thing. Will it be Season 2 of Beef? Season 3 of The Night Agent? Or will I go back to Hulu for Euphoria, despite having to deal with the long commercial breaks?

10 Hacks Every Apple CarPlay User Should Know
Apr. 21st, 2026 08:00 pmlifehacker_feedWe may earn a commission from links on this page.
Apple's CarPlay brings much of the power of your iPhone to your vehicle's dashboard so you can (safely) navigate, play music, and send and receive messages while driving. As with your iPhone, there are plenty of ways to maximize your CarPlay experience to make it work better for you. Use these 10 tricks and hacks to get the most out of it.
Use this setting to customize your CarPlay home screen
If there are icons on your CarPlay home screen for apps you don't use, you can move the most important ones to the first page and delete those you no longer need. That way, you don't have to scroll through multiple pages while you're driving. CarPlay doesn't have on-screen press-and-hold functionality, so, on your iPhone, go to Settings > General> CarPlay > [Your Vehicle] > Apps and reorganize or remove apps. There's also a reset button to return to the default setup. Changes will sync to CarPlay in real time.
Other customization options include switching between dark and light modes, selecting clear or dark icons, and changing the wallpaper presets. These can be found by using the CarPlay screen itself, under Settings > Appearance. Apple doesn't support custom wallpaper, though there are third-party app workarounds.
Use SharePlay or Spotify Jam for collaborative road trip playlists
Even if your phone is the one connected to CarPlay, you don't have to play DJ alone. Apple Music and Spotify have features (SharePlay and Jam, respectively) that allow others to contribute to collaborative playlists in real time from their own devices. Anyone can join—only the host needs an Apple Music or Spotify Premium subscription to start a session. For Apple Music, tap the player (on your iPhone) or Now Playing (in CarPlay) and tap the SharePlay icon. Other people can scan the QR code and request approval to join. In Spotify, tap the device icon > Start a Jam and invite collaborators with the QR code.
Add iPhone widgets to your CarPlay screen for quick bursts of information
With iOS 26, Apple introduced the option to add widgets to your CarPlay screen so you can see information at a glance the same way you can on your iPhone. If an app has an iPhone widget, it should be available for CarPlay as well—though the functionality and display stack may vary across CarPlay screens. This includes the basics like Weather, Calendar, and Reminders, to multiple Apple Sports widgets for tracking scores across teams and leagues.
To customize your CarPlay widgets, go to Settings > General > CarPlay on your iPhone and select your car. Tap Widgets > Add Widgets and follow the onscreen instructions. You can also drag to rearrange how they appear, or enable Smart Rotate, which will cycle through multiple widgets.
Enable Voice Control to control CarPlay hands-free
CarPlay has a host of voice commands for hands-free control, so you don't have to look at your screen to scroll or click while you're driving. With Voice Control, you don't need to use a wake word or phrase, and CarPlay can handle multiple commands in a series as long as you pause briefly in between. There are commands for general interactions, such as opening apps and swiping between screens, as well as specific Maps and Music controls.
To enable Voice Control, go to Settings > Accessibility on your CarPlay unit and turn the feature on or off. You can also pause Voice Control if you don't want CarPlay to pick up words as commands: "Stop listening" will deactivate Voice Control, and "Start listening" will resume it.
Enable "Announce Notifications" to hear your messages
Another hands-free setting is Announce Notifications, which allows Siri to read incoming messages aloud through CarPlay. For example, you can hear and reply to texts received via apps like Messages or WhatsApp, rather than having to tap on-screen when these appear. To enable, go to Settings > Notifications > Announce Notifications > CarPlay on your iPhone and toggle the feature on. You can also select which apps you want to receive announcements from. Note that Focus Mode may affect which notifications are announced.
Pin playlists in Apple Music for quick access in CarPlay
A handy Apple Music feature in iOS 26 is the ability to pin your favorite playlists, artists, albums, songs, and music videos to the top of your Library. While this is useful on its own—no more searching or scrolling to find items you listen to frequently—it is even more so in the CarPlay interface, as you can quickly access your favorites while you're driving. Open the Music app on your iPhone, touch and hold the playlist, album, or song you want to pin, and tap Pin [Item] in the pop-up menu. (To pin an artist, go to the artist's page and tap the three horizontal dots to open the menu.) Once an item is pinned to your Library, you can tap and hold to determine the action when you click on that item, such as playing an album in a default order or shuffling an artist's songs.
Use Shortcuts to disable autoplay
A frequent complaint about Bluetooth car audio, including CarPlay, is that media automatically plays as soon as your phone connects, sometimes including a random song or video through an infrequently used app. On your iPhone, you can try an automation shortcut that pauses playback when your device connects to CarPlay. To get started, open the Shortcuts app, and tap the Automation tab. Tap New Automation, then CarPlay, then select Is Connected and Run Immediately followed by Next. Tap Create New Shortcut, then search for the Play/Pause action. Tap Play/Pause and select Pause, then tap the check mark to save.
Set up a custom greeting that plays when CarPlay connects
Another startup shortcut option is an automation that plays a custom sound or greeting when your iPhone connects to CarPlay. This could be a song you like, a specific sound, or even a personalized recorded message. You'll first want to save the audio file you plan to use in your Files app. Then, open Shortcuts > Automations, tap the New Automation, then tap CarPlay. Select Is Connected and Run Immediately followed by Next. Tap Create New Shortcut, search for File, then tap the option when it appears. Tap File again to open your Files folder, and select your saved audio. Next, search for Play Sound, tap to add the action underneath File, and tap the blue check mark to save.
Customize your driving Focus
iOS has a Focus specifically for driving, which you can use to silence alerts and notifications when your eyes should be on the road. You can have this turn on automatically whenever your iPhone connects to CarPlay, which you'll find under Settings > Driving Focus on CarPlay. If you've never set up this Focus before, you may have to add it: Go to Settings > Focus on your iPhone, tap (+), then tap Driving. From here, you can also choose individual contacts to silence or allow notifications and calls from and set up an auto-reply message to let contacts know that you're driving and can't respond.
Add wireless CarPlay to your wired unit
There are some advantages to wired CarPlay: smoother (lossless) audio, built-in charging, plus a cheaper price tag, if you're adding CarPlay to your vehicle. The downside, of course, is that you have to keep your device plugged in. To get the best of both, buy a wireless CarPlay adapter that plugs into your car and connects your CarPlay unit to your phone via Bluetooth whenever you start your vehicle. Some options I've seen recommended by users online include AAWireless TWO+, Ottocast Mini Pico, and Carlinkit 2Air, all three of which can handle both CarPlay and Android Auto.

<p>The Galaxy Watch Ultra excels over other watches in one key aspect: its outdoorsy features. If you're an avid hiker or an athlete who spends long hours outdoors, it's a great choice. Like any good rugged watch, this one is tough, made out of Grade 4 titanium, and has an IP68 water- and dust-resistant rating. You can also take it up high altitudes (up to 9,000 meters) and it can withstand up to 10ATM of pressure (about 330 feet underwater). You also get a built-in siren in case of emergencies. The screen is a 1.47-inch Super AMOLED display, brighter than previous Samsung AMOLED smartwatches. The only downside is that it comes in just one size—47mm.</p><p>The watch runs WearOS from Samsung and comes with 2GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The 590mAh battery is one of the best for its price point, making it perfect for prolonged outdoor use. If you don't use any power-saving modes, it'll last 60 hours, but it can go up to 100 hours if you're conservative. </p><p>One of the new features this watch brings is AI-based health metrics and advanced sleep tracking, which you can read more about in <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/samsung-galaxy-watch-ultra" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">PCMag's "excellent" review</a>. If you're looking for a more budget-friendly and smaller option for more general use, the <a href="https://zdcs.link/ak1dl3?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Samsung%20Galaxy%20Watch%207&short_url=ak1dl3&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Samsung Galaxy Watch 7</a> at $215 (originally $379.99) is a great option.</p><div class=" relative flex justify-center py-16 md:left-1/2 md:w-[780px] md:max-w-max md:-translate-x-1/2" x-data="{ showAll: false }">

Fans of George R.R. Martin’s books (and their television adaptations) were enchanted by the first season of HBO's new spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms because it offered a fresh perspective on the fictional universe of Westeros. Set roughly between the events depicted in House of the Dragon and A Game of Thrones, the show follows the misadventures of Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) and the future King Aegon V (Egg) as the former attempts to establish himself as a hedge knight in the violent, dragon-less, but relatively stable world of the Seven Kingdoms. It's a show about refreshingly earnest and noble main character who doesn't get his head chopped off at the end of the first season, so a great change of pace.
If you’re missing that—and the gritty, spectacularly violent world the show still depicts—you can wait for season two, or you can find similar entertainments. We’ve already given you a list of TV shows with the same vibes, but here are the best movies, books, games, and podcasts to check out while you wait for more Dunk and Egg adventures.

<p><em>A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms</em> was adapted <a href="https://zdcs.link/9ZAw6R?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=from%20a%20book&short_url=9ZAw6R&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">from a book</a>, so of course that’s a great place to start. <em>But if you’ve already read the source material, here are a few more books to check out.</em></p><h3><em>Between Two Fires</em>, by Christopher Buehlman</h3><p>Darker and more horror-coded than <em>Knight</em>, <a href="https://zdcs.link/Qm8M5K?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Between%20Two%20Fires&short_url=Qm8M5K&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window"><em>Between Two Fires</em></a> offers up a similar dynamic between a knight and a more innocent child. In the 14<sup>th</sup> century, as the Black Death ravages Europe, Thomas is a disgraced knight who encounters a young girl in a village devastated by the plague. She tells him that a second war on heaven is coming, led by Lucifer himself, and that he must guide her to Avignon so she can save the world—and possibly himself.</p><h3><em>Ivanhoe</em>, by Sir Walter Scott</h3><p><a href="https://zdcs.link/9ZAwpY?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=This%20classic&short_url=9ZAwpY&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">This classic</a>, published in 1819, remains a must-read for anyone into knightly chivalry, tournaments, and general adventure. In late 12<sup>th</sup> century England, Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe is one of the last Anglo-Saxon nobleman in a country dominated by Norman invaders. Disinherited by his father, he secretly competes in a tourney presided over by Prince John while King Richard II is imprisoned after the recent crusade, and is swept up in the political machinations of the prince, who fears the return of his brother, the king.</p><h3><em>The Last Wish</em>, by Andrzej Sapowski</h3><p>Sapowski’s <em>Witcher</em> universe has more overt magic and monsters than Martin’s more grounded Westeros, but Geralt of Rivia’s endless journeying and bloody adventures will scratch a similar itch. Geralt is as rootless as Dunk, and travels around dealing with local problems (and the locals themselves, who are often not the friendliest bunch). If you enjoyed the Dunk of it all in <em>A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms</em>, this is the <a href="https://zdcs.link/Qd8WZK?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=beginning%20of%20a%20book%20series&short_url=Qd8WZK&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">beginning of a book series</a> you’ll love.</p><h3><em>The Dragonbone Chair,</em> by Tad Williams</h3><p>George R.R. Martin explicitly listed <a href="https://zdcs.link/9gXZRe?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=The%20Dragonbone%20Chair&short_url=9gXZRe&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window"><em>The Dragonbone Chair</em></a> (and Williams’ entire <em>Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn</em> series) as a key inspiration for<em> A Song of Ice and Fire</em>, so this is an obvious choice. While the writers have very different styles and approaches, you’ll find the story of scullery boy Simon’s involvement with an epic struggle between a fracturing human kingdom and the inscrutable, inhuman Storm King just as charming and exciting as Dunk and Egg’s adventures—albeit a little less low-key.</p><h3><em>Spear,</em> by Nicola Griffith</h3><p>This is a bit of a swerve, but will reward fans of the show: A queer retelling of the Arthurian legends, <a href="https://zdcs.link/zJ8ZXp?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Spear&short_url=zJ8ZXp&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window"><em>Spear</em></a> follows a girl named Peretur, who masquerades as a man and becomes one of King Arturus’ knights, taking up the quest for the Holy Grail. Just as Dunk is faking knight until he makes it as a knight, Peretur does what she must in order to find her destiny in a world marked by violence, betrayal, and magic. The episodic nature of her adventures fits in nicely with <em>Knight</em>’s focus on a traveling hedge knight who must be ready for whatever comes his way.</p><h2 id="the-best-movies-like-a-knight-of-the-seven-kingdoms">The best movies like <em>A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms</em></h2><p>Nothing beats the visual spectacle of knights in shining (or blood-stained and rusty) armor jousting with lances or hammering at each other with swords. If that’s what you miss about <em>A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms</em>, these movies will do the thing.</p><h3><em>A Knight's Tale </em>(2001)</h3><div class="mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-4xl aspect-video">
<div id="video-container-01KPS2TMT822S4PDBCV3BTZA3R"></div>
</div>
<p>Tonally, this is the way. Heath Ledger plays William Thatcher, a peasant squire who masquerades as a knight in order to compete in tournaments, supported by his fellow squires and a brilliant young writer/forger named Geoffrey Chaucer. It’s got a banging soundtrack and the same positive energy that Dunk brings to<em> A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms</em>, plus plenty of jousts and even a surprise royal ally.<em> </em><strong>Rent <em>A Knight’s Tale </em>on <a href="https://zdcs.link/z7RK68?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Prime%20Video&short_url=z7RK68&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Prime Video</a></strong><strong>.</strong></p><div class="pogoClear mb-12 mt-10 rounded-md border-2 border-gray-100 py-7 shadow-xl md:py-6">

<p>If you’re looking for lots of knightly adventure (and some armor that is <em>seriously</em> shinier than anything Dunk wears on the show), this gloriously over-the-top version of the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table has it to spare. There are castle sieges and bloody battlefields, plenty of dark, inscrutable magics, and, of course, an epic quest—all rendered in a feverish visual style that never gets old. <strong>Rent <em>Excalibur</em> on <a href="https://zdcs.link/QpBpLZ?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Prime%20Video&short_url=QpBpLZ&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Prime Video</a></strong><strong>.</strong></p><div class="pogoClear mb-12 mt-10 rounded-md border-2 border-gray-100 py-7 shadow-xl md:py-6">

</div>
<p>Offering up a realistic depiction of the Middle Ages and knightly culture, <em>The Last Duel </em>not only has, yes, at least one lance-and-shield shattering duel to watch, it also explores the complex personal and political relationships between knights and lords in ways <em>Knight</em> fans will recognize. It’s inspired by real events, telling the story of the last legally sanctioned duel in France in the 14<sup>th</sup> century. It isn’t as funny or hopeful as <em>Knight</em>, but it’s just as satisfying. <strong>Stream <em>The Last Duel</em> on <a href="https://zdcs.link/QG8WYJ?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Hulu&short_url=QG8WYJ&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Hulu</a></strong><strong> or rent it on <a href="https://zdcs.link/9wBwV6?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Prime%20Video&short_url=9wBwV6&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Prime Video</a></strong><strong>.</strong></p><div class="pogoClear mb-12 mt-10 rounded-md border-2 border-gray-100 py-7 shadow-xl md:py-6">

<p>Darker and grimmer than <em>A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms</em>, this 2010 horror film stars Sean Bean as a knight named Ulric, who travels to a remote village that has been unaffected by the plague in order to arrest a necromancer suspected of protecting it. He’s guided by a novice monk named Osmund (Eddie Redmayne), giving the story some of the same dynamic as between Dunk and Egg—though the ending is much, much darker.<strong> Stream <em>Black Death</em> on <a href="https://zdcs.link/aA864q?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Hulu&short_url=aA864q&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Hulu</a></strong><strong> or rent it on <a href="https://zdcs.link/a078xN?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Prime%20Video&short_url=a078xN&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Prime Video</a></strong><strong>.</strong></p><div class="pogoClear mb-12 mt-10 rounded-md border-2 border-gray-100 py-7 shadow-xl md:py-6">

<p>With a gritty, realistic look, this fantasy film will supply the one thing missing from<em> A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms</em>: Dragons. In the sixth century, the small kingdom of Urland is sacrificing virgin girls to appease Vermithrax Pejorative, a huge, deadly dragon. The king sends a knight named Valerian (actually a virgin girl, in disguise to avoid being selected for sacrifice) to fetch Ulrich, the last sorcerer, but the old man dies and his apprentice, Galen (Peter MacNicol), goes instead. It’s full of charm and sword fights, and is a perfect chaser for the the show.<em> </em><strong>Stream <em>Dragonslayer</em> on <a href="https://www.kanopy.com/en/product/justwatch-11333666?frontend=kui" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Kanopy</a></strong><strong> or rent it from <a href="https://zdcs.link/Qm8Mb5?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Prime%20Video&short_url=Qm8Mb5&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Prime Video</a></strong><strong>.</strong></p><div class="pogoClear mb-12 mt-10 rounded-md border-2 border-gray-100 py-7 shadow-xl md:py-6">

<div id="video-container-01KPS2TMTKBWAVKGHHC0ES03K3"></div>
</div>
<p>Just like the book series that inspired it, this game is perfect for <em>Knight</em> fans. Geralt of Rivia is no knight sworn to protect the innocent, but he is a badass with a sword, and his quest to rescue his adopted daughter echoes Dunk’s determination to stand tall in a world that doesn’t make it easy. Geralt’s many battles as he travels this open-world game are what you imagine Dunk and Egg are getting up to after the end of season one: a series of adventures. Plus, it’s a blast to play.</p><p><strong>Platforms:</strong> PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Steam</p><div class="pogoClear mb-12 mt-10 rounded-md border-2 border-gray-100 py-7 shadow-xl md:py-6">

<p>The plot of this RPG game so strongly parallels <em>A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,</em> it’s kind of eerie: Henry of Skalitz comes from humble beginnings and has a lot of emotional baggage, and he starts off with almost nothing, begging for armor and other supplies. From there, you guide Henry as he tries to regain his status as a knight and prove his worth, and the game’s fighting mechanics and detailed universe are almost a perfect fit for fans of the show—if you squint, you can imagine you’re playing as Dunk.</p><p><strong>Platforms: </strong>PlayStation, Xbox, Steam</p><div class="pogoClear mb-12 mt-10 rounded-md border-2 border-gray-100 py-7 shadow-xl md:py-6">

<h3><em>Half Sword</em></h3><div class="mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-4xl aspect-video">
<div id="video-container-01KPS2TMTR9VD3WJ37CFZ00V7X"></div>
</div>
<p>If you’re not looking for a similar story but just want to imagine yourself as a knight bashing their way through a tournament, <em>Half Sword</em> is for you. Its focus is totally on a realistic depiction of the physics and mechanics of medieval fighting. It takes a minute to get used to the controls, because you’re actually manipulating a sword or lance instead of just mashing a pattern of buttons—but once you lean into it, it’s as close as you’re likely to get to actually fighting like Dunk and his fellow knights. There’s no story here, just a series of challenging bouts that offer an innovative and interesting variation on combat games.</p><p><strong>Platforms:</strong> Steam</p><div class="pogoClear mb-12 mt-10 rounded-md border-2 border-gray-100 py-7 shadow-xl md:py-6">

<p>You play as a Japanese samurai instead of a medieval knight, but this game has many parallels to <em>A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms</em>. For one, the character you control, Jin Sakai, must make a series of moral choices regarding his code of honor that will remind you of Dunk’s struggles to stay true to his knightly ideals. For another, you get to fight an army of enemies with a sword while on horseback, although you can also choose a stealthier approach to the game’s main story and many side-quests. But where’s the fun in that?</p><p><strong>Platforms:</strong> PlayStation, Steam</p><div class="pogoClear mb-12 mt-10 rounded-md border-2 border-gray-100 py-7 shadow-xl md:py-6">

Book Review: The Empire Must Die
Apr. 21st, 2026 02:43 pmosprey_archerI know I’ve read Mikhail Zygar’s The Empire Must Die: Russia’s Revolutionary Collapse, 1900-1917 before, because my ebook is spattered with my own highlights all the way to the very end. However, I have no memory of the book, and also apparently never posted about it, both of which are baffling because it’s an enjoyable and fascinating read.
The Empire Must Die is telling the intertwined stories of many different prominent figures in late tsarist Russia: not just the prominent political figures (both in the government and in the varyingly legal levels of opposition), but also figures in the arts, Chekov, Diaghilev, Tolstoy, Nijinsky. It is both painting a picture of Russian high society and exploring the events that led to the downfall of that society.
Zygar is telling a story more than he is advancing a thesis, so he doesn’t advance the idea that this or that thing is the root cause of the ultimate Bolshevik takeover. And obviously any complex historical phenomenon has many causes: autocracy, the Russian orthodox church, a highly class-stratified society with huge income inequality, etc. etc.
However, it ultimately seemed to me that any of these problems might have been overcome were it not for Nicholas II, Russia’s weak-willed, vacillating, but also stunningly pigheaded final tsar. He’s like the guy in the parable who is sitting on top of a house roof in a flood, turning away a neighbor in a boat and a helicopter and what have you because he’s convinced that God will save him, except in Nicholas’s case he’s ignoring warning signs like “we just lost a war with Japan because of our antiquated military, so perhaps we should modernize before we get embroiled in a larger war?”
Or, rather, he repeatedly sees the warning signs, he agrees to direly needed reforms, and then he backtracks the next day after he’s had a chance to talk to his wife. Absolutely a case where both halves of an adoring couple made each other exponentially worse. Nicholas believed that any attempt to amend the autocracy was a violation of the oath he made to God at his coronation, and his wife Alix not only agreed wholeheartedly but remained steadfast in this belief when the weak-willed Nicholas wavered.
So much for the collapse of autocracy. After Nicholas abdicates, why do the Bolsheviks end up in power? Well, you’ve got three main parties vying for it.
The Kadets: the liberal democratic party. In favor of a republic or a constitutional monarchy. Popular among Russia’s middle class, which is not very large. Just can’t pull the numbers they need. Ideologically opposed to shooting people for political reasons.
The Socialist Revolutionaries (also known as SRs): in favor of peasants and the political assassinations of tsarist officials. Despite this history of violence, excited to work non-violently within the new state system that everyone is trying to patch together after the revolution of February 1917. Unfortunately, their two most charismatic leaders recently died, and also they discovered that Azef, the guy who organized most of their high profile political assassinations, was actually a police agent. Awkward. The SRs fail to kill him.
The Social Democrats (also known as the SDs; split between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks): Marxists, in favor of the industrial proletariat; hate peasants, but canny enough to promise to distribute land to the peasants anyway. The Bolsheviks are ideologically in favor of shooting people for political reasons, which gives them a decisive edge while their opponents are fretting about whether it will fatally undermine their attempt to build democracy if they shoot political opponents who threaten to violently overthrow democracy. As it turns out, the answer is “probably yes, but do you know what will undermine democracy even more decisively? Being violently overthrown.”

Apr. 21st, 2026 05:00 pmlifehacker_feedWe may earn a commission from links on this page.
As the world outside of our streaming boxes has gotten nastier, we've seen an uptick in the population of amiable goofballs within them, with comfort shows like Ted Lasso and Schitt's Creek having set the template. Rooster's Greg Russo (Steve Carell) isn't exactly one of this crowd; his world is falling apart around him rather precipitously in the opening episodes of the HBO series, but the vibe is far less dour. It's a show about a likable, well-meaning character who struggles to maintain his principles and outlook when faced with a world that's more than happy to throw mud in his face.
If that's something you need more of in your life, here are 10 other shows about characters whose failures are relatable, and whose successes are inspiring. Here's to the losers.
Lucky Hank (2023)
Bob Odenkirk hopped directly from Better Call Saul to this academic satire, starring as Hank Devereaux, Jr., a creative writing teacher at a tiny college in Pennsylvania. As the show starts, he's humiliated by a student, publicly mocks his school in a way that nearly gets him tossed, has to deal with his more successful father, and comes to believe that his wife is having an affair. His life only gets more chaotic from there. Mireille Enos (The Killing) co-stars in this short-lived, but still really good, comedy of middle-aged ennui. Buy Lucky Hank from Prime Video or Apple TV.
A Man on the Inside (2024 – )
Another amiable and well-loved TV celebrity stars in this lightly satirical comedy that's a bit more plot-oriented than a typical sitcom. Ted Danson plays Charles Nieuwendyk, a hapless retired professor and recent widower who listens to his daughter's plea that he find something to keep him occupied. He answers an ad from a private investigator looking for someone to go undercover by moving into a retirement community in San Francisco in hopes of discovering who's been stealing the residents' jewelry. As he comes to care about the people he's investigating (and lying to), his job only gets harder. Start at the beginning, but I'll direct your attention toward the second season, co-starring Danson's real-life wife Mary Steenburgen, and set at a small liberal arts college not at all unlike Rooster's Ludlow. Stream A Man on the Inside on Netflix.
The Chair (2021)
Sandra Oh stars in this comedy-drama as Dr. Ji-Yoon Kim, the newly appointed chair of the English department at fictional Pembroke University. The first woman to hold the job, she struggles to balance the significance of the role with a budding relationship and her challenging daughter. This ambitious series only lasted one season, but got great reviews and went a bit deeper than Rooster in its satire of modern academia. Stream The Chair on Netflix.
Ted Lasso (2020 – )
Loveable goof Ted Lasso stole our hearts back in 2020, and there's a largely unexpected revival on the horizon years after the end of its original three-season run. Jason Sudeikis plays the title character, an American college football coach, hired by owner Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham) to coach her Richmond football club (soccer to us Americans), despite his lack of any experience with the sport. She won the team in a messy divorce, and figures that Ted will ruin the franchise that her ex loved so much. With everything and (nearly) everyone against him, he nonetheless wins the team over with his relentless, occasionally ridiculous good-natured optimism. Stream Ted Lasso on Apple TV.
Dear White People (2017 – 2021)
Adapted and extending the 2014 movie, this show takes us to a (fictional) Ivy League school for a comedy-drama that takes on campus life and politics from a rather different perspective than that of Rooster. Logan Browning leads the ensemble cast as Sam White, who kind-of inadvertently starts the titular radio show following a racially charged incident on campus. Far from the screed that some bad faith YouTubers seem to find in the show, it's never shy about confronting the complicated and occasionally silly contradictions of campus activism, with each episode approaching life at Winchester University from a different character's perspective. Stream Dear White People on Netflix.
Shrinking (2023 – )
A fun, funny, occasionally serious dramedy (Rooster vibe-match here), Shrinking stars Jason Segal as cognitive behavioral therapist Jimmy Laird, who's been in a depression spiral since the death of his wife a year before the show opens. When he tries to get through a workday following a night of partying, he loses it on a whiny patient—which is not exactly standard procedure. But Jimmy finds himself invigorated, nonetheless, and telling people what he really thinks becomes his new thing, with mixed results. Jessica Williams plays fellow therapist Gaby Evans, perpetually upbeat despite her recent divorce, while Harrison Ford is clearly having a great time playing Jimmy's crusty boss and mentor. Michael J. Fox joined the cast for the recently completed third season, and it's been renewed for a fourth. Stream Shrinking on Apple TV.
Abbott Elementary (2021 – )
Very quickly establishing itself as one of the great workplace mockumentaries, Quinta Brunson's Abbott Elementary does a workplace comedy like The Office one better in portraying its cast of (mostly) well-meaning characters running up against an American educational system that doesn't always reward good intentions. Stream Abbott Elementary on Hulu and HBO Max.
Somebody Somewhere (2022 – 2024)
Bridget Everett stars as Sam Miller, who struggles to find her new direction after moving back to her hometown to care for her dying sister (don't worry: there's plenty of comedy in the drama, and it's not as heavy as it sounds). She's solidly middle-aged and starting over, kinda—making new friends in a familiar environment where she has to confront the past and the future alike. Luckily, her love of singing, and a community of goofy oddballs, are there to help. It's another story of a person of a certain age, trying to rebuild their life following an upheaval. Stream Somebody Somewhere on HBO Max.
Chad Powers (2025 – )
One minute, Russ Holliday (series star and co-creator Glen Powell) is the biggest name in collegiate football, with a future that couldn't be brighter. The next, he's fumbled a touchdown and later shoved a fan into a cancer patient using a wheelchair. Not great! Eight years later, he's looking for a comeback and so, with shades of Mrs. Doubtfire, he reinvents himself via prosthetics and a wig as the title's Chad Powers, a charmingly naive athlete who signs on to the football team at a tiny Georgia college. It's a goofy premise, but Powell's performance sells it, and the show becomes more engaging as Russ/Chad is forced to ask himself whether this new persona is a con, or the person he'd like to be. Stream Chad Powers on Hulu.
Mr. Corman (2021)
Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as yet another middle-aged (definitions of which vary wildly on TV and IRL) teacher making a new start of it. Once focused on life as the lead of indie electronica band, Josh Corman been at a loss since he broke up with his fiancée and one-time bandmate, Megan. Plagued by crippling anxiety (relatable!), he's now a public school teacher trying to figure out his life. The show dramatizes Josh's inner struggle via animated sequences and song-and-dance numbers, adding a bit of extra color to its depiction of middle-aged ennui. Stream Mr. Corman on Apple TV.

aurumcalendula reported last month that a set of Wiseguy DVDs had a non-working disc. And apparently Warner Bros DVDs made in 2006-2008 will all stop working. Earlier laser disc recordings also had similar issues.Do you have a lot of DVDs? How long have you been collecting them? Have you run into problems with them? Is it important for you to preserve particular shows?
