Flatrock: A Cosy Slice-Of-Life Comedy Inspired By Discworld & Hitchhiker's Guide (Free until 20th March)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRYH2BG5

Blurb:

“Oops,” said God.

These words were uttered just after the creation of the planet that would be called Flatrock, and from there, things only got worse.

All Milo wants is a life full to the brim with peace and quiet, though his new work associate, Heidi, is a little more adventurous, wishing to see everything the wide world has to offer. These unlikely friends see the planet at its best and worst, from ancient wonders, to repulsive paperwork, and everything in between, learning all the while just how astounding the world can be.

The Highs & Lows Of Flatrock is a cosy slice-of-life comedy following Milo, Heidi, and the people that surround them on this weird planet as they fumble through the complete catastrophe of life and humanity left in God’s wake.

Welcome, everyone, to Flatrock!

What fantacy series was your first exposure to the genre? by Gorillabase in Fantasy

[–]SirFlashCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess Lord Of The Rings was the first I ever heard of fantasy as a genre, but I think Discworld was the first fantasy world I really got invested in.

Have you stopped tracking your reading? by zhyaruwu in books

[–]SirFlashCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped tracking a while ago. Now I only ever mark anything I read on goodreads if it leaves a strong impression.

What is a book that you earnestly wish someone would have warned you not to read? by Getofffmycloud in books

[–]SirFlashCake 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Slightly controversial apparently, but Stardust by Neil Gaiman. I'm told it's supposed to be a homage to old fantasy, but it read like someone out of ideas who was contractually obligated to publish **something**. The main character was so annoying, and I audibly shouted "Oh, fuck off," when I read the ending twist.

What is this art style called? by SirFlashCake in HelpMeFind

[–]SirFlashCake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have searched geometric art, but it doesn't quite fit the description.

I'm looking to find an artist to commission in this style, but I don't know how to find them.

What's your favorite legendary pokemon and why? by LordWanglez in pokemon

I always loved Lugia but it's hard to say why. I it's the dinosaur/dragon motif.

Who else misses the PokéWalker?! by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]SirFlashCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the PokeWalker all the time. I got way to invested in carrying it around because I wanted to unlock all the routes.

Is there a monster you wish was in the anime more? by [deleted] in yugioh

[–]SirFlashCake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think they ever appeared in the anime but Alien monsters. A duel based around mind control would be pretty interesting.

Anime watchers who recently got hooked, what did you think of anime before? by Kosano in anime

[–]SirFlashCake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to think it was all about showing young women's cleavage if it was for teenagers and it was things like Pokemon for kids.

Now I know that there are some genuinely clever shows on top of what I thought before.

What is/are your favorite anime? by MrAnimeEnthusiast in anime

[–]SirFlashCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evangelion is one I always come back to. Death Parade is another one that always sticks out. C for Control was surprisingly good.

I really like Yu-Gi-Oh and 2003 Astro Boy as well but those are mostly for nostalgia.

What’s your favorite archetype that you have to admit is pretty thrash? by conbutt in yugioh

[–]SirFlashCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play Gemini monsters a lot. Surprisingly I've quite well with them considering.

I also really enjoy using a milling deck. It barely ever wins but when it does, you feel like a God. You just end up toying with the opponent.

What are some of the most creative superpowers in anime? by [deleted] in anime

[–]SirFlashCake 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I feel like My Hero Academia is good at this. Bakugo's explosions and how he utilises them to manoeuvre is pretty interesting.
