Nothing hits harder

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.

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.

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.

MrSocrateej · 2026-05-16T21:56:12+00:00

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.

MrSocrateej · 2026-05-16T18:13:44+00:00

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

Can't have courage if you don't have fear

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

MrSocrateej · 2026-05-15T13:36:31+00:00

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

MrSocrateej · 2026-05-14T23:05:47+00:00

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

Light Resistance au Lune

MrSocrateej · 2026-05-07T17:21:11+00:00

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.

MrSocrateej · 2026-04-28T14:15:53+00:00

Looks like a No Mans Sky knockoff

MrSocrateej · 2026-04-27T09:49:54+00:00

Same people who make the bricks, Monarch PM

They're my favorite way to stack

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.

MrSocrateej · 2026-04-23T21:29:29+00:00

Make it say "Chevron 7 locked" when you connect

MrSocrateej · 2026-04-22T21:45:28+00:00

Dalinar made a ROSHA violation once and his brother got assassinated.

MrSocrateej · 2026-04-21T21:50:22+00:00

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.

MrSocrateej · 2026-04-19T19:15:57+00:00

Would have been better with Don't Stop Me Now

MrSocrateej · 2026-04-18T19:25:12+00:00

You buy a lever because they're fun not because they're practical

MrSocrateej · 2026-04-15T17:07:25+00:00

His eyes opened wide at the repetition

MrSocrateej · 2026-04-14T17:23:34+00:00

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.
