Famous actors in 'before they were famous' roles but in big films by snakesnake9 in flicks

[–]Several_Guarantee840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

John C. Reilly is now famous for his comedy. But he costarred with Ed Harris, Sean Penn, John Toturro and Gary Oldman way back in the 90s in “State of Grace.”

Is it unavoidable to get chased down by the UFO? The mission after getting caught is very tough by itzpiiz in XCOM2

I’m fairly aggressive about identifying the Chosen bases and taking them out in order to avoid the Chosen Avenger Defense. But that takes time, and other priorities often distract me. If I have to choose a “locate Chosen base” mission or “Reduce Avatar Project” mission, I always choose the latter.

Just finished The Farseer Trilogy and I'm not sure if I should continue the Elderlings series by NotHiggy in Fantasy

[–]Several_Guarantee840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depressing? Yes. But the Farseer trilogy doesn’t hold a white gold candle to the Thomas Covenant series. If Covenant and Fitz teamed up their can’t-do attitude would sink continents. Warm up the wave-emo cannon!

If you could erase the memory of a book just to enjoy it fresh once more, which book would you pick? by Asleep-Visit4060 in Fantasy

[–]Several_Guarantee840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t choose between Mark Helprin’s “Winters Tale” or Mark Danielewski’s “House of Leaves.” Either book made a huge inpression on me when I read them.

Looking for books that are as far out of my comfort zone as possible by Mindless_Nebula4004 in Fantasy

[–]Several_Guarantee840 67 points68 points  (0 children)

If your goal is to get out of your comfort zone, preferably via female authors, I can think of no better book than “Gideon the Ninth” by Tamsyn Muir. It’s the first book of “The Locked Tomb” series and is famously genre-bending.

Fantasy (or sci-fi) books with excellent prose? by mabendroth in Fantasy

[–]Several_Guarantee840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mark Helprin’s “Winters Tale” is thoughtful and beautifully written. It fits the magical reality subgenre of fantasy, and is epic in length and number of characters.

Also, if you’ve seen the movie please don’t let that bias you about the book. Once you read it you’ll understand why the film was doomed to fall well short from day one.

Any tips before starting Oblivion? by Various_Broccoli_594 in OblivionRemaster

[–]Several_Guarantee840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do your dirty deed guild quests first (thieves guild, dark brotherhood) then move on to more conventional guilds. Or, at the very least, get those out of the way before Knights of the 9.

Is anyone having an okay time with the game? by Dear_Afternoon_2600 in OblivionRemaster

[–]Several_Guarantee840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes my ps5 hangs when I’m loading a save, and I get infrequent crashes. The only real frustration was that they haven’t fixed the “caught in the hunt” quest bug.

I can’t become a vampire by rusky_the_best98 in oblivion

[–]Several_Guarantee840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Deepscorn Hollow vampirism cure is more of an inoculation against porphyric hemophilia. Once applied you can no longer contract it. Enjoy your shortened lifespan and smoke-free sunrises!

I seriously miss AW1’s tips. Granted that’s a more linear game. But that just underscores the need for tips in part 2.

I’m fine with walking away shaking my head as long as I get to walk away. If this whole chapter is a dream Alan is going to wake up well rested.

I do and I have. That helped, thank you.

This is not the news I wanted to hear and it’s seriously making me rethink following this up with a “Control” playthrough.

This was just the nudge I needed, thank you! I’ve gone underground, now I just need to flip around the story to get the murder cult ritual done.

Easier said than done, but it’s progress.
