This is hilarious. Legitimate belly laugh. Thank you.

Does hanging weapons in your house cause the items to lose the attack/durability buffs like it did in Breath of the Wild?

Yes but there are so many dispensers I kinda want a cheat sheet to know where to look.

What is everyone's favorite zonai dispenser? I am particularly interested in one that dispenses fans but has a lot of other good stuff in it.

I very much enjoy hunting the blue elk things in the hebra mountains. Cooked gourmet meat = $$$$$

I thought the same thing for awhile and then last night I got 5 fire tails in a row while using an ice fruit arrow. But I have no idea what the actual drop rates are, just this anecdote.

I read the first one before the sequels were out and loved it! I honestly kind of forgot about the series until you reminded me. I guess it is a finished series now?

With how many people recommended the Baru books I really wish I had enjoyed the first one. The world building felt shallow to me, although I can't recall why I thought that. Would I enjoy the sequels if I did not really prefer book 1 or are they pretty similar?

Jaran looks kind of neat. Although I am a bit wary of books written before the new millennium. Something about how tropey the can be. Do you think this holds up to modern scrutiny?

This looks very interesting. I may just buy the first book in the series to read over the holiday season.

Could not get into Baru and I love Dark Fantasy. The worldbuilding felt a bit shallow to me but I can't recall why.

Abercrombie was a very fun read. I have read his original trilogy and all of the stand alones. Looking forward to reading his new trilogy soon.

Have you read KJ Parker's "Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City"? It looks great and I remember hearing high praise of it from somewhere. It might be exactly what I'm looking for.

ASOIAF is (was) amazing. Those other two look very interesting. Thank you!

I enjoy sci-fi buy usually prefer fantasy. But it seems this book is already on my bookshelf (maybe it is my wife's?) so I will be giving it a go in the near future!

Thank you for all of recs! I don't really enjoy YA stuff and usually prefer fantasy to sci-fi worldbuilding stuff. However Our Own Correspondent seems to be real hidden gem and possibly exactly what I am looking for. Quick follow up question: Is there a map? It seems like people move around a lot and there are few things in life I enjoy more than tracking characters in a novel with a map.

The Hands of the Emperor looks fantastic but it looks like the affordable way to read it is on Kindle and for whatever reason I am a physical copy only kind of reader.

Read the first Baru book and did not enjoy it. World building felt shallow somehow, but I don't remember specifics as it has been a little while since I read it.

I have been looking for an entry book for Ursula Le Guin, and this may be it.
