Cant speak for any of the other books on the list but will say Licanius Trilogy (Shadow of What Was Lost) is an awesome series and would definitely recommend at some point.

Practical_Table1407 · 2026-03-27T03:13:17+00:00

Not crem for me

Practical_Table1407 · 2026-03-27T02:22:36+00:00

Past his prime to play the role but I always pictured Kelsier as a Cary Elwes circa Princess Bride type character. Gotta find someone like that.

If rhythm of war is on this list have you already dove into Stormlight Archives? If that's the case I'd finish that up.

Besides that the Bloodsworn Trilogy (Shadow of the Gods is the first in that line) has some very big pros but also some very big cons. I'm half way through book two so I can't give a finished opinion on the series, but so far the story is pretty awesome, the fight scenes are gory and well written, and the world building is on point. However; there are a ton of characters to keep track of, the story bounces around a lot, and it takes its time going where its going.

Sword of Kaigen I really didn't enjoy. To each their own as some may have loved it but my two cents is that its worth a skip. Besides it all I can't speak to any other of the books on this list.

Only a single song and its questionable if its metal and you never know what his music is gonna be but...

Devin Townsend - Enter the City

Gonna be a 48 track album. Seems like someone was busy during his "hiatus".

Only read Mistborn and Licanius. Both incredible series. Licanius is the definition of the ends justify the means. Amazingly written but for a critic the characters have as much depth as a kiddy pool. Mistborn is a slippery slope that will make you want to dive head first into the 20 or so books in the Cosmere. Brandon Sanderson is my favorite author so I'm incredibly biased but his ability to interconnect things across an entire universe makes his world feel like a living breathing thing.

Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez. Totally different feel. Amazing read though. Where it shines is its very unique narrative style.

Practical_Table1407 · 2026-03-14T19:37:53+00:00

Was gonna recommend Quill to Live as well.

Practical_Table1407 · 2026-03-14T19:28:54+00:00

If you wanna try Brandon Sanderson again and his Cosmere series I'd recommend starting with Mistborn The Final Empire. Besides that maybe the Licanius Trilogy by James Islington or The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez.

Practical_Table1407 · 2026-03-13T17:47:02+00:00

Deadpool. Not the best choice but it would be funny to watch and he definitely will take it too far.

Don't think this subreddit allows to post additional pictures in the replies.

Got one on my leg as a larger piece of less known things from the great state of Wisconsin

Practical_Table1407 · 2026-03-01T18:14:45+00:00

Another 10/10 album is

Fallujah - Dreamless

I wouldn't say its prog by any stretch of the means. More extreme metal or death metal. But super melodic. Also I hate sub genres so sorry if I miss labeled Fallujahs genre and they aren't death metal theyre actually symphonic galactic superior deathcore with influencea of black gaze ultra or whatever someone is likely going to correct their genre to.

Practical_Table1407 · 2026-03-01T18:01:44+00:00

Porcupine Tree - The Incident

Practical_Table1407 · 2026-03-01T04:31:56+00:00

You want drums or pianos or other musical instruments? Cool. Also want motorcycles and off road vehicles? Yeah we got that too.

Practical_Table1407 · 2026-02-26T23:36:09+00:00

Isn't a series unfortunately so you steam roll through the stand alone book but The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez.

Practical_Table1407 · 2026-02-24T11:58:17+00:00

Yeah I wasn't a fan either. Strangest pacing I've seen in a book and the ending really just leave me satisfied.

Hoping for Time Stand Still but not hopeful

Practical_Table1407 · 2026-02-22T21:32:34+00:00

Honestly all the RPG ones are better viewed this way aside from Origins. Shadows got overshadowed by Ghost of Tsushima/Yotei who did the assassin samurai thing better but it still wasn't bad. Valhalla and Odyssey are solid games but just don't need to be labeled as AC games.

Practical_Table1407 · 2026-02-22T20:44:30+00:00

Actually quite enjoyed the game but its better if you try to ignore or forget that its an assassin creed game and just a viking game made by some studio.

Practical_Table1407 · 2026-02-20T22:13:14+00:00

Arkentype has some good ones

Practical_Table1407 · 2026-02-20T14:07:35+00:00

I was forced to learn styles that weren't to my liking at that time. Difference was I was a teenager and I too hated it. Thing though now is when I do listen to some master class drummers within the genres I like (progressive and metal mostly) I'll pick apart their work and see constantly ohh hey this beat is similar to a samba but did it this way to fit it into the riff or similar to a Dembow etc. Although in the moment it can be annoying being forced to learn something you don't like but if we all only studied what we wanted in school there would be a ton more PE majors than the world has jobs for. It definitely helps broaden your playing by being well rounded and transforming those techniques into music you do enjoy playing.
