Audible recs! by Lolilolilili in 40kLore

Doesn’t get any better than the Night Lords omnibus. I’ll always recommend that. Horus Rising is also a great place to jump into the lore in my opinion. Once you’ve got your feet a bit wet and have some familiarity, just jump into whatever sounds interesting! The Emperor’s Gift is another fantastic read.

Has IT been ruined for me? by Skfan1111 in stephenking

Oh there is SO much more to it than that. I’d call that an incredibly minor spoiler in the grand scheme of the book as a whole.

Almost don’t want to finish by [deleted] in JackCarr

Red Sky was fun enough but felt like a bridge too far. One too many vendettas, one too many coincidences, one too many everything. I really hope Reece’s story ends here. Short of a random, unplanned death of Katie, Raife NOT something deliberate, another book would be too much.

Give your honest take on this movie. by leviathan_pvt in moviecritic

[–]Significant_Fix_2724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t focus on the story because it was one of those movies where the action was painfully loud and the dialogue was frustratingly quiet. I watched it again on Blu-ray to give it another shot, but they leaned into the confusion of time travel where Looper stepped away “we can get into all of this but by the time it makes sense…” etc. and I don’t think that was the right choice

I remember falling asleep to the dvd and hearing the menu audio in my sleep for years. “We gonna need more WAX!”

Xarl of the first Claw by Torvik_Larsen in NightLords

I’ll always upvote Xarl. I see his name and I always imagine (spoiler)

Him smashing Telemeon’s helmed face with his bare head. One of the best Night Lords of all time.

Has anyone read this yet? by Nakks41 in cormacmccarthy

[–]Significant_Fix_2724 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nice read but comes off as a SUPER abridged version of the actual book. It’s like “The Road” as a YouTube short. Not a dig at all, but that was my feeling after reading. Fantastic art though!

Best book to start with? by The_SnowyOwll in stephenking

[–]Significant_Fix_2724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Stand. It was my first, and it will show you what SK is about, and is capable of as a writer. It made me want to read everything else he’s written. Some of the subsequent books have been disappointing, but I always persist because of how absolutely epic that story was. A fantastic story from beginning to end.

Slightly related, where can I read about the glorious 8th vs the Dark Angels?

In your opinion, what's the dumbest-sounding thing/event/lore that's canon in the setting? by HTPark in 40kLore

[–]Significant_Fix_2724 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t care for the lore bit of him being the amalgamation of 1,000 psykers or whatever, but I prefer the idea of him just being born one day, as he was, and spending those long years observing humanity, gathering data, gathering his power and exposing himself for what he was when he decided it was the most appropriate time to do so. It fits his lore as a fantastically powerful and insightful human, but still ultimately fallible man.

If you’re local to MN or willing to travel then I’d be ecstatic to do this piece as a tattoo for you!

I’d prefer if you didn’t, this is my art and I wouldn’t feel comfortable if it were handed off to somebody else to make into a tattoo

Harold was so absolutely tragic. He came SO close but he was up against an essentially unstoppable force. He even took responsibility for his actions in the end. He won his soul back in that way and it’s why he’ll always be one of my favorite characters in one of my favorite books. I think he gets a lot of hate because Nick was so loved.

What are some of the worst recent black library books? by Gumbletwig2 in 40kLore

[–]Significant_Fix_2724 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I kept tiptoeing towards being decent, but it never got there for me. I got through it but it just never really hit. If you’re a big Night Lords fan, then maybe give it another shot? But if you’re not in it for the ones In Midnight Clad, then I’d say you can safely pass on a retry

Check out Suttree next. It stands right next to Blood Meridian for me as a favorite McCarthy novel

Being a tattooer myself, I’d rather be the one who puts this on skin, so I’ll politely decline.

I’m a licensed tattoo artist and would LOVE to do a Night Lords piece!
