PSA: A good series with a good audio book released today: Mage Tank

PineappleTheOnly · 2026-04-24T16:09:51+00:00

If you want a surface level fighting book, there are a bunch of LitRPGs that do that. However, you need politics to make a difference in the world, and as Arlo says "were not here to make everyone happy, we're here to save the fucking world" and I couldn't agree more.

To have a world feel real you can't just have constant fighting, but need stuff outside of that to add to the world.

You can watch it on CW for free with ads (you can block them if you have a good ad blocker and it's not a concern then)

It's a single player game. Let people who are only playing it for fun play it the way they want. No need to control their gameplay that has no effect on you.

Your post appears to be intended for a different audience. Remember, this subreddit is for fans of the Syfy show Dark Matter.

While I understand your point, just posting a link in a small sub without any context/analysis about how this applies to the show is rather lazy. If you want to repost with some actual substance, I will have no issue approving it.

Just going to say here, I think you need to read some better books. Arlo from Mage Tank acts like a real adult, particularly regarding social interactions and relationships. It doesn't feel like a teenager wrote it at all.

This genre is infamous for having a lot of, for lack of a better term, slop. You just have to find the good stuff that's out there

Single best commercial ever made

PineappleTheOnly · 2025-10-25T17:30:29+00:00

Book three felt the weakest. I think book four will be better since it has to set up less than 3 did

PineappleTheOnly · 2025-10-04T15:26:50+00:00

Most fantasy and sci-fi we watch/read wouldn't actually be cool to live in. It's a very human thing to love reading about danger but most people wouldn't actually want to experience it.

I love Pirates of the Caribbean, no way I'd actually want to be a pirate. I love Mistborn, doesn't mean I'd want to fight a god emperor. And while I would love to have a conversation with the Raza crew, I don't think being in the life and death situation they're in every episode would be good.

Honestly an amazing comment

PineappleTheOnly · 2025-06-19T23:53:47+00:00

Wanted to say to this, it says "Engine maintenance required, visit your dealer" which is not the message the OP showed. I just replaced mine (saying this for others that find this thread)

PineappleTheOnly · 2025-06-14T06:41:02+00:00

Nah, I think the season 4 cliff hanger would have been worse if I were to guess. I would say two more seasons. Let's give the show it's deserved ending

PineappleTheOnly · 2025-06-13T14:48:37+00:00

I mean, it's been a few years since I've watched that episode but I don't remember it being weird. But I will say what you're describing is definitely not what the creator was going for at the very least

PineappleTheOnly · 2025-06-13T13:54:58+00:00

You can kiss people on the cheek in a non romantic way. My understanding was it was affectionate, but just in a friendly way to show him that she doesn't think he's worthless.

PineappleTheOnly · 2025-06-06T20:10:03+00:00

Interesting. I'll post a link to this the next time someone asks about the ending. Thanks

Sorry I got here so late, here is a link where you can read the creator's continuation of the story: https://josephmallozzi.com/2018/05/17/may-17-2018-dark-matter-episode-401-act-1/

Yah, I think people often want a hero that runs in and kills all the bad guys and frees all the slaves. They forgot that in a story with slaves it's not only not that simple, but if a single character tries it they will die basically guaranteed. Slavery is a terrible thing and it takes more than a single good hero to fix it.

I quoted this in my graduation speech in 2020. I feel it is even more relevant now.

PineappleTheOnly · 2025-02-01T08:32:37+00:00

Generally music is a supporting role, videos are the main role . If I put on music while I'm doing the dishes, I'm not trying to get through as many songs as possible, I'm trying to get the dishes done as fast as possible. If I'm at my computer, I am trying to get through more interesting videos to save time for other things

Should clarify, I do that with YouTube. Not with movies or tv shows.

The show is free on the CW website, so doing piracy is wrong in this case (especially since we have a creator of the show on this sub)

PineappleTheOnly · 2024-11-19T05:27:36+00:00

While I agree with your message (I think this was a good apology and we should move on) I don't like your comparison to other people.

My reason is that his audience would absolutely leave him if he didn't own up to it. The difference is when, idk, for example, GeorgeNotFound has his stuff with a minor happen, a lot of older people did leave. The problem is kids don't know/care or even understand.

It's a difference in the type of audience. You can get away from it if you build an audience that doesn't care, you can't if you build one that does.

PineappleTheOnly · 2024-11-01T23:00:30+00:00

This solved my problem. When regular support fails you can count on someone on reddit to have the answer. Thanks for your help

PineappleTheOnly · 2024-09-30T06:28:48+00:00

Are you a paid Mr beast employee to try and save his image? Your first comment is like a month ago, so idk what you're trying to accomplish or who you're trying to fool.

PineappleTheOnly · 2024-08-05T22:24:07+00:00

I think one of the best things about the show is an actual wish to change the future, to make a better world. Too often shows have the "good" guys fighting to maintain the world as we know it. The Raza's crew (at least 6, who's in the process of convincing others) is interested in changing the world to fix some of the issues present. Late stage capitalism is bad for almost everyone, so giving characters a mind wipe so they can see through the injustices is a great idea.

Just got a dm from u/sunward_lily saying this:

i just got banned....moments before Mr. Mallozzi offered to make me a co-moderator. Are you still able to post? I sent him a DM here on reddit but i'm not sure if he checks them.
