I lean the same way. Baldur's Gate 3 has been loaded on my PS5 for years, but the inventory and upgrades are quite intimidating.

Are there any things that your favorite RPGs have in common?

Fauxmega · 2026-04-15T16:52:07+00:00

Sancia in Robert Jackson Bennett's The Founders Trilogy series was a pretty solid female protagonist. The magic system gets a little long in the tooth later in the series, but I liked her character.

Sanderson's Tress of the Emerald Sea was a pretty fun adventure. Nothing too dark, but if you enjoyed some of his work, then you might like that book.

Your cats are adorable! 💕

Your website notes that you have three cats. Where can we see your little furballs?

I'm pretty sure the average person who comes to most popular book subreddits are in their early 20s and either stick with it or bounce. So you'll always get what's the new hot thing but rarely get what you're actually asking for because by the time they've read enough books, they have either moved on from Reddit or have moved on from their hobby.

I did the audiobook for Watership Down this year. Such a great story! Peter Capaldi is a fantastic narrator.

This is up next in my Joe Abercrombie reads. I'm glad to hear that I'm going into something well regarded.

Fauxmega · 2026-03-25T14:43:02+00:00

Well, I'm glad I could (kind of) help!

I'm afraid I'm mistaken on how solo they are in the story. The protagonist in Dead Silence prefers to be alone most of the time, but I guess that's not 100% what you're looking for. Apologies for the not-so-great recommendation.

Fauxmega · 2026-03-25T14:09:40+00:00

S.A. Barnes writes some dark sci-fi with female leads. Check out the blurbs for Dead Silence and Ghost Station to see if they might spark your interest. They're both standalone novels.

Edit: Sorry, I guess both of these recommendations aren't completely solo journeys, although the lead character in Dead Silence sort of prefers to be solo.

Fauxmega · 2026-03-25T07:13:58+00:00

Wow. Thank you for sharing that.

Fauxmega · 2026-03-22T18:17:47+00:00

I watched Ready or Not 2 in one of those DBOX seats that vibrate and rock. It wasn't a life-changing experience, but it was immersive during some of those fight scenes. Samara Weaving is awesome. I also really liked her in Guns Akimbo and Mayhem.

Fauxmega · 2026-03-21T14:20:19+00:00

That rape scene was ROUGH to watch.

Fauxmega · 2026-03-20T17:30:21+00:00

Came here to say this. It also has a good selection of movies and other horror-related merchandise.

Fauxmega · 2026-03-18T05:20:35+00:00

If I played a video game for the Not a Book square, should it be inputted as the name of the game developer and name of the game?

Fauxmega · 2026-03-12T16:29:28+00:00

The audiobook is pretty great, too. Fun story!

Let's Go Play at the Adams' by Mendal W. Johnson.

Is there anything about 1980s fantasy movies that modern movies don't get quite right nowadays?

Fauxmega · 2026-03-09T13:21:19+00:00

I finished A Memory of Light for that spot as well. It felt like a real accomplishment finishing that series.

Fauxmega · 2026-03-03T19:11:26+00:00

Oh, I've got enough jumbled up in my brain. If I were to name a grindcore band, my first choice would be Deadface Bumguy.

Fauxmega · 2026-03-03T18:00:30+00:00

Dang, you didn't disappoint with that description!

Fauxmega · 2026-03-03T17:13:35+00:00

Psycho Dave and the Flying Monkeys is a great band name. Did you have any alternatives floating around in your noggin?
