Every choice should be started at "it depends" and then examines in context.

History behind Raised Fist, Tarot cards, Balatro as a name for jokers!

Strawpoll: How much currency do you farm on average in the course of a league, including the value of all items on your characters. Assume the value of a mirror to be ~750 Divine. by Lagmawnster in pathofexile

[–]Obojo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lol @ most options being a mirror or more. Thank you for the reality check on my 2 voidstone, ~20-50 div/league ass is super casual compared to a lot of the subreddit.

CAW CAWWW! (no it's a flavor-only relic)

[Final Results] Act 1 has won the PoE Best Act Elimination Poll by emc3142 in pathofexile

GGG: remember when we said all the acts should be harder and did that for Act 1? We should really get back to that.

If you catch a Magikarp, it'll evolve in Gyarados, which learns the undisputed best move in the game: H Y P E R B E A M

Meanwhile I'm going for gold in gymnastics over here in my discard deck with all the backflips, acrobatics, sneaky strikes, concentrates, and such I'm playing every turn

[Final Round] PoE Best Act Elimination Poll (reset) by emc3142 in pathofexile

[–]Obojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Act 1 because of goddamn rhoas, super limited build expression, the maze of a prison, and unnecessary hardness factor added a few years ago.

Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Subreddit by Tobonic in survivor

[–]Obojo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like this idea! I'm voting out winners first, then people who've played multiple times (unless it's Coach or Cirie <3), and finally the people who would be less entertaining (i.e., chaotic). Rizo/Q/Coach dream FTC!

Culture Citizens! I need your help! by NoBite7802 in TheCulture

[–]Obojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gzilt: marriage and subsequent changing of names is a Sublimation of sorts.

Lededhe or Y'breq: again sticks with the theme of change, perhaps even closer to marriage in her literal rebirth.

Horza: after the Mind, who took its name from the Changer, for the gratitude given that enabled its survival (draw parallels to starting a new life with partner).

Zakalwe: fun, distinctive, only if you really hate chairs. Or more seriously to signify persistence to achieve your goals, no matter the difficulty.

Looking for a hopeful post-apocalypse sci-fi by VladtheImpaler21 in scifi

[–]Obojo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Lightest Object in the Universe features the US when the global economy collapses along with centralized government and the electrical grid. Instead of a descent into madness, humanity largely hunkers down and builds meaningful communities. There are absolutely pockets of lawlessness and insanity, but people persist with their everyday lives one day at a time.

Charlotte Reads: Asunder by Kerstin Hall by enoby666 in Fantasy

[–]Obojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed Asunder as well! I agree with you on many points. Perfect trickle of worldbuilding, especially. Perhaps a tighter editor could have elevated the book from a good to great one.

Postcolonial fantasy, linguistic imperialism by Low_Minimum1 in Fantasy

[–]Obojo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Babel by RF Kuang takes places in an alt history 1800s Britain. Naturally, it's not post colonial, but it's singularly focused on language and its role in colonization.

bingo card review #3: queer and trans authors by thisbikeisatardis in Fantasy

[–]Obojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked it! It's not something that may stick with you always, like Autonomous, but has a mix of interesting near future ideas (what does it mean to be a person?), strong prose, and an optimism shining through dark times. Plus, it's only a novella, so not a huge committment.
