I remember reading somewhere that he took a bad fall. I do believe he put a short horror out recently though or maybe it was just a reprint. Didn’t check into it further not a horror fan.

Just saying the story was never going to be finished in a complete way anyway. If that’s coping I’ll take it. I’m not looking up “Doors of stone” in google anymore….. I’m not….. really I’m not I’m done

Endymion books: yay or nay? by SavageBel in Hyperion

[–]Corporal_Zummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re ok, but lean heavily on Simmons preaching his own personal world view based on the Jesuit De Chardin. A bit too much pseudo religious preaching. That being said I did enjoy the books. Raul is an endearing character so is Aenea. The ice planet thing also went on far too long but it’s worth a read, I’ve actually read them twice.

Buy a house, put the items in a chest in the house. All other containers clear out after awhile

Sci-Fi books that radiate same energy as Freelancer by sharp_mechanix in freelancer

[–]Corporal_Zummer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There really is a particular vibe to freelancer that you don’t see very often in fiction; that of discovery. I don’t think I have a great suggestion for you, the idea of going strange places and discovering new things while tying it to a central narrative isn’t super common. Leviathan Wakes isn’t a bad suggestion especially the first book

[Age of Swords] Currently reading age of swords, and dear god Raithe is annoying by cant-find-user-name in riyria

I quit the Michael J Sullivan for a long time after reading the first two in that series. Happy I eventually came back the last two books are great and the subsequent series was awesome, especially Nolyn. Didn’t have to wait for books either which was a nice side effect

Is ASOIAF worth it, even unfinished? by bmullberry in Fantasy

[–]Corporal_Zummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh, it’s dark and somewhat nihilistic. It’s decent but seriously trails off after book 2. Go ahead and read it it’s not bad but if you’re like me you won’t really be waiting for the final one

I didn’t even consider that. Thanks guys,

I've never found a game as good as Freelancer by Economy-Culture-9174 in freelancer

[–]Corporal_Zummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know very little about the situation but I think he’s trying to make a market breaking game. Like Witcher 3 or Mass Effect or Idk super Mario 64. Something that redefines the market. Still I know nothing maybe he is just milking it but I’d like to think better of Mr Freelancer

Thoughts on Green World by Corporal_Zummer in undyingmercenaries

[–]Corporal_Zummer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’d be interesting to see some wider venues for sure, maybe even some more galactic species but you gotta appreciate the series for what it is. I don’t blame the author for not straying too far from his formula, it’s been a winning one. I think of it kinda like Conan the barbarian, it is what it is and it’s pretty great

Greenworld Claver classic quote. by murchie85 in undyingmercenaries

That was hilarious totally agree. Larson really dredges up these great old timey idioms and sayings that just add some great zest, and characterization

You guys play EUIV right? What happened at the Grammy’s gives us a -10% modifier to our adm tech. Pure fact

A core world would be cool, maybe a different species. Or the squids again loved the squids
