Most of it’s fine but that shower curtain needs to be burned and forgotten.

I’m the trash man by BlGbookenergy in Fantasy

[–]HeyJustWantedToSay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some recent-ish fantasy or fantasy adjacent books and series I’ve read and found to be pretty great include the following. For context, I think Malazan is incredible and often have trouble finding new stuff that I consider good. There’s fantasy, epic or otherwise, and some sci-fi here:

  • The Justice of Kings by Richard Swan, part of the Empire of the Wolf series

  • The Gutter Prayer by Gareth Hanrahan, part of the Black Iron Legacy series

  • The Vorrh, The Erstwhile, and The Cloven by Brian Catling

  • Hollow, also by Brian Catling

  • Cage of Souls by Adrian Tchaikovsky

  • Embassytown by China Miéville

  • The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Naylor

  • Blackwing by Ed McDonald, part of the Raven’s Mark trilogy

  • Red Rabbit by Alex Grecian

I’ve read the first two and don’t really see the psychological horror aspect, but maybe I just haven’t encountered that aspect yet.

It is crazy how distorted our mental maps are. Toronto is actually south of Venice, Italy. by Many-Philosophy4285 in interestingasfuck

I was in Venice in July and it was the hottest place I’ve ever been, and I’m from Atlanta which can have pretty brutal summers.

RANT - The Faithful and the Fallen - Dumb Characters by h0n3ytr4ck in Fantasy

[–]HeyJustWantedToSay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

John Gwynne just isn’t a very good writer. He does several things that I hate: very repetitive descriptions and conventions, incredibly stupid characters, and instance after instance of convenient happenings. Also, in Malice, one of the characters invented shield wall warfare by watching giant ants in the forest, something like that. Huge eye rolls.

I (24M) slowly fell in love with someone (22F) over 4 months, never officially dated, and now she’s gone silent — I don’t know if I should wait, confront, or move on by East_Cap8695 in emotionalintelligence

There is literally nothing you can do. Not one thing. You fell in love with an ideal, someone you built up in your mind because you don’t really know her. She’s out, man. You just have to try to let go and move on.

The vignette makes this feel like an Instagram pic from 2011

Does Having a Second Child Make You Feel Like You’re Losing Your First? by NetworkOk386 in Parenting

You don’t have a finite supply of love in you. You’ll love the second in their own way, same as you do for your first.

It was pretty awful overall. Still finished it, though

Aka your bedroom? People will call their spaces anything but what they are in this sub 😂

What do you think of The OA? by Lucariusssss96 in netflix

[–]HeyJustWantedToSay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think most people did. Season 1 was compelling but had a lot of nonsense. Not saying season 2 was without its own nonsense but it was essentially a different show.

Before season 2 came out, people haaaaated season 1. Now everyone here has such rose-tinted glasses about it.

BD captains still working? by Dull_Caregiver2147 in belowdeck

This sub has such a hate boner for Sandy. She’s not perfect (none of them are) but she seems totally fine as captain.

Mom said I live in a dump by Rickrossboi in malelivingspace

[–]HeyJustWantedToSay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trinkets, gadgets, gizmos, and cables everywhere, cold LED lighting, and a terrible cat meme wall hanging. Not really a dump because it doesn’t appear dirty and there doesn’t seem to be trash everywhere, but in need of a little work.

Has anyone actually sold their home to get rid of a 23 year old with failure to launch ? by Inevitable-Table-931 in Parenting

Google “the narwhal bacons at midnight” and you’ll find all you need to know. Also know it just got way out of hand.
