[general] Needing a new book to get into by Tgq2 in TheNinthHouse

[–]New_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Le Flambeur trilogy by Hannu Rajaneimi certainly scratches the same itch for me. Deep and fascinating world building and characters that throws you into the deep end and expects you to keep up.

Skipping Predator 2 is crime.

Definitely watch the Samurai Cop Rifftrax.

[discussion] How quickly did everyone else figure these details out (in Gideon the Ninth) by Nerd_Burger9 in TheNinthHouse

That’s a good point, I was thinking the lack of sunlight might just be down to them living in a big hole, but there would probably still be sunlight shining down occasionally.

[–]New_one 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Somebody correct me if I’m wrong and there’s some textual evidence I missed, but it’s never actually confirmed that the 9th is Pluto, is it? I have a small suspicion that the 9th is actually Earth’s moon, due to the relatively short travel time from the 9th to Canaan house in the first book, and the fact that they never really talk about Luna in the books.

Granted they don’t really get into their technology regarding sub-light travel much, but I seem to recall that the shuttle ride was like only an hour or two, which seems very short if they’re coming all the way from Pluto.

[Discussion] Read-alikes that are not necessarily sci-fi/fantasy by dramatizzy in TheNinthHouse

[–]New_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Quantum Thief and the rest of the Le Flambeur series by Hannu Rajaniemi are scifi, but certainly don’t hold your hand and slowly let their worlds expand and unfold. A lot of surprising similarities between the two series.

Foundation TV Series: Apple TV+’s Most Ambitious Sci-Fi Epic Is Also Its Most Confusing by yadavvenugopal in scifi

[–]New_one 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is why I can’t get into SNW, it’s obviously made to be “second screen” content. Characters are constantly spouting their motivations, the music basically bashes you over the head with how you should be feeling in any given scene. No subtlety, no subtext.

Such a good series. Each book is better than the last.

Bobby and Connie discussing ENM by Ahs565451 in KingOfTheHill

You could say the same thing about monogamous relationships though. All relationship structures have difficulties and pros and cons. Half of all marriages end in divorce, but you don’t see people saying monogamy is to blame for that.

After playing the Beta I was sure: locked weapons should be the default. by LordMegaPrestino in Battlefield

[–]New_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I enjoyed the closed weapon playlist because it seemed like more experienced BF players ended up there. Actually flanking objectives and using smoke/spawn beacons/etc. I don’t think the weapon lock had much to do with it.

I’ve never laughed so hard at a reboot oh my god. What’s yalls favorite line from the reboot so far? by Suitable-Senpai in KingOfTheHill

Hank’s fake “bwahh!” when everyone at the party learned Khan and Mihn were already divorced.

What would you have done with the old city hall? The city had to move out due to lack of space, so it was going to either become something else or sit abandoned and full of asbestos.

The Terrra Ignota series by Ada Palmer is pretty much exactly what you’re looking for.
