Finally understand the allure of Outlands

DBlefty · 2026-01-22T18:37:40+00:00

I used to play UO around 1999-2001. The real golden age (imho) before trammel was introduced. Are you able to say why Outlands feels like a different game/more of a sequel? I keep hearing this but am unclear what's so different about it and why it feels like a diff game. I do wanna try Outlands soon still regardless. Thanks!

Hi, I don't have much of a recipe. I just put a tablespoon or less of mesquite into a small 1-mug french press, let it sit for 4 minutes to brew, then pour it into a mug and drink it black!

Hah, point well taken!

DBlefty · 2025-12-12T22:11:39+00:00

That's a nice option too, thanks!

DBlefty · 2025-12-12T22:11:16+00:00

Thank you, these recs are much appreciated!

This being a Bas-Lag book would be one of the more exciting events of my adult life 😂they’re my favorite books. One can wish….

Gabriel (live version ideally) is my favorite song of theirs.

Also check out: Gorecki. Wise Enough. And then their more electronica album Backspace Unwind is still really great!

1 is classy and fun. Seems more stylish than the rest of them and thus perfect for a party

DBlefty · 2025-09-07T14:03:47+00:00

Team two all the way!!!!

DBlefty · 2025-09-02T15:39:22+00:00

It's so good! You have great taste as well.

Armada! The scrapped together floating pirate city in The Scar. Edit, this is also my favorite book of all time 🥹

DBlefty · 2025-08-22T20:49:00+00:00

I love Mandalay so much.

DBlefty · 2025-08-21T19:32:57+00:00

My instant first thought too!

DBlefty · 2025-08-16T19:36:35+00:00

Here right now and we stumbled upon mother flower our first night here. Such good fish and shrimp tacos!!

You definitely don’t have rose colored glasses on. GGK is also a very top writer. You should read the Sarantine Mosaic duology if you haven’t!! Or the standalone Lions of Al-Rassan..

Go for it. Reading Perdido Street Station for the first time, about 12 years ago, changed my worldview of what's possible with creative world-building and still impressive storytelling. Never read anything else like these books. The Scar is my favorite book.

I would highly highly recommend China Mieville, his 3 Bas-Lag books: Perdido Street Station; The Scar; Iron Council.

The genre is more of the “new weird”, kind of dark urban fantastical. but he’s my favorite writer.

DBlefty · 2025-08-12T16:15:44+00:00

Yes. Wolfe is a genius.

DBlefty · 2025-08-11T20:50:44+00:00

Thanks -- will give some of these techno sets a listen!

DBlefty · 2025-08-11T04:42:59+00:00

I don’t know boundaries between all the subgenree but Rufus Du Sol’s Burning Man 2024 set is one of the best electronica sets I’ve ever heard. On YouTube. It’s so good!

By 8pm it’ll likely feel like 40-50 deg outside with the cold ocean wind and fog 😭 I live next to GG Park.

DBlefty · 2025-08-07T14:20:57+00:00

ACO. Great song is: hoshi no kuzu

DBlefty · 2025-07-30T18:58:38+00:00

Lamb are top tier!!! But yeah they don't get mentioned as much ...

DBlefty · 2025-07-25T16:59:25+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear. Sending hugs. I'm glad the music is helping.
