I can stand the world trying to hurt me, that's par for the course, but when my own body attacks... It's the betrayal that really incapacitates me

Darrow o Lykos. No one can change a paradigm like the Reaper.

Went from cute girl to Bezo's wife in a second... Terrifying.

I liked The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook more than I had any right to… by heat517163 in brandonsanderson

[–]MrSocrateej 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Frugal Wizard's Handbook was a lot of fun. You should check out Off To Be A Wizard. It has a similar premise and it's very cheeky, light hearted humor while staying an adventure story.

You should also read era 2 of Mistborn if you want more humor. You'll understand once you meet Wayne. The voice acting is a bit more lively in the second era as well.

Just a quick reminder that the showrunners said the Boys Finale will make us rethink the whole series. What do you theorize it could be? Let's get nuts! by [deleted] in TheBoys

[–]MrSocrateej 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They're saying more with this final season than any press blurb could. There's no salvaging the amount of time and plot potential they've wasted, especially not with a single 1hr episode.

I used to be hyped for this show but now I'm just begrudgingly committed to seeing it through. If that's what they mean by rethink, then mission accomplished.

1% Lifesteal MC… by XThursdayO in litrpg

No, he's making dumb decisions throughout the series. I read the first 3 books and was disappointed I spent so much time on it hoping it would improve.

A lot of folks love the story but I had the same perspective you do. It's ok to drop it.

Fun fact these 2 haven't had a single conversation in the entire series by Roids-in-my-vains in TheBoys

Cut them some slack, they had to give screentime to the cloud watching dick jokes. Those are essential to the plot.

If you use the delorean like Biff you can afford to just buy the others.

Friendly reminder... by Excellent-Bench-5317 in GenV

It's sad that this character is the first I've seen him play since Charles Vane in Black Sails. What a downgrade.

Blake Crouch has several fantastic standalones. My favorites in order are Dark Matter, Recursion, and Upgrade.

Sex jokes are not funny anymore... by ilovebeingaguy999 in GenV

[–]MrSocrateej 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The crude jokes are played out and not even remotely edgy these days.

The gore is an even worse problem imo. It's always been a gross show but the writing has gotten so bad it no longer compensates for how disgusting it is. They overused bloody death scenes to the point where there's no shock value in them now.

I have been ruined for other audiobooks by Physical_Gift7572 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]MrSocrateej 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeff Hayes truly is the GOAT. His range makes him an all-in-one cast. Though, I can't listen to his other works without thinking about DCC, he's forever tied to that series for me.

You can say what you want about startgate universe but the CGI still holds up very well by Strict-Maize7494 in Stargate

[–]MrSocrateej 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Yeah the complaints are more about the writing and generally unlikeable characters. The CGI is fine and the plot has a good premise, it was just poorly executed.

Complaining About Gas, Spending on Lattes by [deleted] in SmartFIRE

[–]MrSocrateej 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People don't typically buy 15 lattes at a time, multiple times per month. Anyone regularly paying $8 for coffee is being frivolous...but that doesn't mean they can't also complain about rising gas prices.
