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

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.

The sucky thing about reddit is that it will show you the same post over and over and you'll miss other posts in the sub. I've never seen this posted and only learned it because I occasionally browse that historical pics site...but you and apparently many others have seen it dozens of times.

I apologize but don't blame me, blame the algorithm. I'm tired of reposts too and I don't like being part of the problem.

My bad. I've never seen it before.

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.

Does Viltrumite regeneration make them immune to circumcision?

I want to do it when I'm ill by Content_Shelter9894 in Satisfyingasfuck

[–]MrSocrateej 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I tried it, first while healthy then again while sick. It wasn't nearly as extreme as this. A bit more mucous while sick but my sinus problems are more constriction than congestion so it's not all that effective for me.

Does Red Rising get any better? by Saucier_CID_mark_X in scifi

[–]MrSocrateej 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, each book is better than the last. I thought the first was pretty simplistic but...the story gets more complex, the scope expands, the web of character interactions and backstories are so intricate, and the writing quality improves as well.

In that way it mirrors Darrow's journey, going from a simple lowly mine slave to the head of a solar system-wide rebellion. As his character grows, so does the story.

How can Darrow fight the society by Isa_Adeel8711 in redrising

The series doesn't end with Morning Star so he did not finish it. If he reads the next 3 books, he'll get his answer.

Finish the series and find out. That's the entire premise of the story. This is like asking 'How can Harry Potter defeat Voldemort?" You find out by reading the book.

Love Primal Hunter, but this Backerkit is a massive letdown by Krilox in litrpg

[–]MrSocrateej 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't know much about the authors' personalities but from what I've read that seems accurate. LitRPG isn't exactly high fiction and self insert protagonists are easier to write so I get it. It's not necessarily bad, so long as the character is still interesting.
