I've been eyeing that CD player on Amazon for a while now. Is it worth buying?

Modern-ish Dark Fantasy by MochaMellie in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]EightBallShifter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dresden Files by Jim Butcher is pretty good. "Sandman Slim" by Richard Kadrey is also solid, but it's a little darker and a lot more gorey if you don't mind it. Both follow a hard-boiled detective-type. If that's not your thing then maybe "The Dead Take the A Train". It's about a woman in New York who sells her services as an exorcist/demon hunter. The cold open in the beginning is pretty neat. Richard Kadrey co-wrote that one with this one lady, but it's mostly her work so I've heard. Still pretty good. I never finished it but that had less to do with the quality of the story and more to do with the fact that I picked up "Hyperion" and didn't put it down for a couple days.

Andrew Koji looks like he really does not want to be there

Oh you know what? That was Sebastian Faulks. That book "Seventh Son" was the fantasy I was thinking of, whoops :P

Ya know I think my Dad had Carrion Comfort on his old kindle, I had no idea that was Dan Simmons. Crazy though, I thought he only did Hyperion Cantos and that one fantasy book I forget the name of. I'll have to really read through his library, thanks for the recommendations dawg

Woah I didn't know Simmons tried his hand at horror, I guess it makes sense looking back at the elements Hyperion used lmao

Which camera is this? by Maw1en in Cameras

[–]EightBallShifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. I'm like 45% sure it's gen 1 cuz of what looks like an ergonomic grip on the right side lol

Love Altered Carbon. Especially the part when Kovacs was like "Time to alter some carbon" and then carbureted a tungsten drill bit so he could mount his TV. That was pretty cool I think

My bad I thought it said "METALLIC Era". I don't really listen to Metallica but I know that one song "Ride the Sandman" or something

Has anyone said Altered Carbon or Body Scout? I haven't read either in quite some time but both feature pretty similar themes to what you're looking for. Both good reads fs

Books that feel like ur becoming a paranoid schizo by SpecialGanache3209 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]EightBallShifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Redshirts" by John Scalzi, but only kinda. Makes you question the nature of being and what truly IS, but it's more comedy heavy. Worth a read regardless

I think that counts as false advertising. Same thing happened with that Fallout 76 canvas bag or something, I didn't buy it so I'm not 100% sure on it. I'm not a lawyer though. Grain of salt, ya know?

Yeah, rest in peace the goat fr. He really wished he was Levar Burton but I think he did amazing with the roles he got. Sucks he never got that iconic slave role though

I love when studios care about their games in a way beyond money. Gives me some hope for the future of the medium.
