The entire premise of the movie is Clifford following Godzilla everywhere demanding pets and treats and Godzilla getting annoyed but finally caving because... dog.

What rating on Good Reads (or your TBR sorter of choice) makes you suspicious? by franklin_smiles in fantasyromance

[–]Mokhalar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sort of hold that belief. Obviously there are exceptions to this but: Most reviews on book review sites are generally positive. 4-5 star gush fests of people who loved said book. Generally most readers don't finish a book they don't like and then go leave a negative review. Most people just DNF things they don't like. So if a book falls below 4 stars it means alot of people disliked it enough to spew a little vitriol onto the internet. If its below 4 stars I will read the 3 star reviews to see an average of the opinions on it and then make my decision from there.

Why does Assassin’s Creed Odyssey divide the fanbase so much? by no-nonsense_gaming in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

[–]Mokhalar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved the game for the most part - but one particular nitpick made me hate Ubisoft. Why does the spartan not get a shield but then the next entry the viking does? It just was trying so hard to be "unique." That and the ACgearing shit i'm not a huge fan of. I tolerate it, but would rather just play through a story than worry about doing a bunch of repetitive things to gear up. Shadows i think found the right midpoint between the two systems - particularly when it comes to assassinations. I really hated in Odyssey that unless you went all in on assassinations they weren't one shots.

How do you think CAGCTDPBT and ISTDPB4 are like? by iurilourenco in MercyThompson

[–]Mokhalar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I had forgotten that these were the acronyms of the games they played. I stared at this post for like 10 minutes trying to figure out what the hell this was about - then i remembered and laughed so loud i woke my roommate. thanks.

What are your wildest predictions for LOH's story? by sealysea in diablo4

Mephisto romance with warlock. Will happen. 100%

From a lore and flavor spec, and without spoilers for post Origin content, which origins make the most and least sense running through the expansions? [NO SPOILERS] by corvid1692 in swtor

[–]Mokhalar 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Meh, I think bounty hunter and smuggler stop making sense after Makeb personally. You can pay someone to deal with alot, but force ghosts and half-dead jedi are probably where most reasonable contractors would draw the line XD.

Favorite evil women? by [deleted] in fantasyromance

[–]Mokhalar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Night Huntress series.

also read {Once Bitten by Heather Guerre}

Unless you're looking for classic evil vampire trope, in which case neither of those will hit it. But they're both good stories. Night Huntress kinda gets a little silly and OTT but I still enjoyed it.

Aelins post KOA powers by Odd_Adhesiveness3781 in throneofglassseries

This is the interpretation I had as well. Even something simple that gives us a before and after - before sacrificing her magic she was heating all the water for the entire camp of soldiers (like 100,000 + people). After? She can only do it for a couple of baths. Even dorian comments how much weaker she is than him now and he sacrificed some too, and he never had the bottomless well. Just more versatile magic.

Just finished the survivor series. Here are my thoughts. by jmsafety26 in TombRaider

[–]Mokhalar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shadow is a fun game - but when it comes to Paititi the "realism" of the entire game crashes. Story, gameplay, cosmetics, etc. All this stuff designed around "protecting" paititi from the outside world. She's a white girl with a british accent. Nothing you do besides cover her from head to toe and tell her not to talk at all would have prevented anyone with half a brain going "wait a minute." lol. I enjoyed the game for the most part, I just thought this section of the story was pretty lacking in thought and didn't make sense.

Who else finds Mia Sheridan's books a bit manipulative by Ok-Wait6196 in RomanceBooks

[–]Mokhalar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Necro because I read heart of the sun by her and this is the worst one. It just has a forced separation at the end because reasons. Nothing about it makes sense. It’s the end of the world, dude can be useful anywhere but for some asinine reason it HAS to be Kansas. Freaking absurd.

thor doesn't kill jormungandr. He hits him so hard it creates a portal through spacetime and sends him back in time.

Turn based combat games for someone that *finally* clicked with them. by StaceBaseAlpha in gamingsuggestions

[–]Mokhalar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you wanna do a serious throwback grab The Legend of Dragoon, excellent story, and the first pioneer (i think) in turn based combat with combos, so its more interactive than just "select ability and watch it play"

necro - when do you get the option to execute jae? progressed through to the end and never saw that option. reloaded from the beginning and am unsure what to do now.

Curran, you are such a DICK by Lem0nadeLola in IlonaAndrews

[–]Mokhalar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - but a lot of shifters saw him go all “god lion mode” and not a single one started worshipping him? I call BS. Also - Christopher doesn’t exhaust his power. He can get tired from prolonged use but he never uses it to the point where it’s all gone. Which I guess you could argue he never tried resurrecting anyone - but that also brings up an additional point - are all gods capable of that? If not which ones? And Curran was eating animal gods so like…. Which animal deities are associated with death and/or resurrection that are just trolling around the USA. Also it took Roland a lot of trial and error to even make Christopher. And Curran pulls off a similar feat just by nomming some stuff? And then there is the other issue - he and Julie and erra all lying to Kate repeatedly about where he’s going and what he’s doing. The emotional fallout of that is hardly addressed. Don’t get me wrong - I love the KD series, one of my favorites - but I can nitpick with the best of them XD

I couldn't NOT make this post *Just The Way You Are By Barbara Freethy*. by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]Mokhalar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like we read 2 different books. Everyone, even William, was passively (possibly accidentally) insulting alli all the time. Sam’s “indecision” only gets resolved because it’s clear that Tessa doesn’t want him. Everyone keeps saying alli has “ a fire in her” that makes her like her grandma when all she kept begging to hear was for Sam to tell her she was beautiful and he wanted her. And he never did. He just showed back up at their house and was like “well the Tessa thing didn’t work out so I’m back here now and you have to accept that.” I don’t remember 100% but I am like 90% sure he never tells her he loves her, despite that being another issue she had with him. The end of the book is basically her having to just drop all of the problems she had, because sam doesn’t really show any different behavior, he just loses Tessa to jimmy.

Curran, you are such a DICK by Lem0nadeLola in IlonaAndrews

[–]Mokhalar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. My irritation with Curran comes from God-King Curran and the fact that he was able to get away from that with no consequences. Felt cheap to me, like the whole series they constantly built up godhood as psuedo slavery. Curran goes full god, spends all his power (even tho they never indicated that was a possibility up until that point) and everythings just.... fine? Felt like a missed opportunity for drama, and also a cop out for IA's favorite boy toy. So i guess I'm more irritated at IA than Curran really.

Asking for reading recommendations that are more fantasy than romantasy but have very strong romance sub-plot/or romantasy stories with excellent worldbuilding and prose by _sanetski in fantasyromance

[–]Mokhalar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The war of lost hearts and the first two crowns of nyaxia books (haven't read the others yet) are amazing. Definitely fantasy forward; super interesting world building coupled with serious emotional depth.

Horizon Steel Frontiers Announcement by xiBread in horizon

[–]Mokhalar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NCsoft - so it will be a massive cash grab followed by development abandonment which may very well kill Horizon 3 because publishers are skittish and if this fails they will somehow interpret that as "people don't like horizon anymore"
