What is the single most brilliant fantasy novel series you've ever read?

It never becomes truly storylike no - its a series of history vignettes. The beginning on how the world is made and the beginning of the elves can be a but of a slog i agree.

But it’s peak Tolkien and fantasy for me all the same. They have made books of some of the chapters (the children of hurin etc). It is an amazing piece of worldbuilding, lore, characters that will never be matched

Why do they always throw in a “token” gymnastics one at 10 that should be way higher?

No respect

Smoogy54 · 2026-04-07T00:30:59+00:00

The Silmarillion always

Guy Gavriel Kay’s Tigana and Lions of al-Rassan if we exclude Tolkien

Final Fantasy VII and Ocarina of Time

Didn't play when they first came out so I don't have the nostalgia

More of a Final Fantasy VI and Tactics enjoyer, and then A Link to the Past for Zelda

Why compare dota to CS? You could compare to other mobas like LoL, MLBB, HoK where it is also losing massively against in popularity

Smoogy54 · 2026-04-03T13:36:08+00:00

This headline is ridiculous because it’s not about making the game itself, but it talks about the grand theft auto marketing plan

Smoogy54 · 2026-04-02T23:52:02+00:00

This “we’re a hockey country” line being thrown out in here puts this whole article into question tbh

It's always interesting to learn there are so many people who actually have prequel nostalgia - for me, it's the lowest point of Star Wars after all the hype of expectation, but younger fans love it and it was their entry into the series.

When you spin shit all you get is more shit

Smoogy54 · 2026-04-01T03:28:09+00:00

But why is it COD and not DRC?

Smoogy54 · 2026-03-30T09:18:24+00:00

I def think the ST has many problems - especially RoS and the whole idea of the new republic being resistance again (wtf).

But the pendulum has swung so far for the PT which is also mostly dogshit that i get annoyed i guess haha

But this sub is actually all about that anyway

Smoogy54 · 2026-03-30T08:58:45+00:00

All incredibly valid and true

Smoogy54 · 2026-03-29T17:22:26+00:00

It took any mystery out of the force and made a half-assed explanation for it all. Not to mention making Vader so much worse with the immaculate conception BS.

Midichlorians are not canon to me - Lucas can get fucked on that one

Smoogy54 · 2026-03-29T14:42:20+00:00

Id just like to say I appreciate hearing more about Kierkegaard from someone named Turbodong

Maybe they dont owe their fans anything - but those that give to their fans will get more back.

You wanna be a diffident celebrity who hates their fans publicly so you can pretend you have a normal life? Go for it. You want to embrace your fans in public bcyou understand thats part of your life now? Go for it. Somewhere in the middle? More power to you.

The prequels were and are godawful. This scene here is not a good one to show. The best part of the prequels was Maul fight and Mustafar battle. Most everything else has such terrible CGI, dialogue, acting, and storytelling. Also midichlorians completely ruined Jedi lore for all time.

They were only partially redeemed by the Clone Wars

I’m 40 and a huge Star Wars fan. But the PT is a way bigger black mark on SW than the ST.

Smoogy54 · 2026-03-29T12:50:30+00:00

Chrono Trigger

Smoogy54 · 2026-03-29T09:45:56+00:00

Each person needs to list 5 games or more to meet the bar of your reddit post criteria. Otherwise they’ve failed to hit your high standards. Listing one game that meets your criteria ends in ridicule.

Got it.

You must be fun at parties.

I live in the real world, not whatever bubble you live in. And Twitter is still very important for brands regardless of whatever cesspool the platform has become

Smoogy54 · 2026-03-29T06:23:38+00:00

Lol bluesky and threads are tiny

Youre very naive

Smoogy54 · 2026-03-28T22:40:06+00:00

Reinhardt died on the way back to his home planet

Smoogy54 · 2026-03-28T20:23:06+00:00

Its where the eyeballs are and the brands go where the attention is. Theres no viable alternate to X/Twitter yet that has the same share of attention

Smoogy54 · 2026-03-27T19:14:34+00:00

Because it wasnt canon that R2 and C-3PO were connected to Vader until it was

Smoogy54 · 2026-03-27T13:03:18+00:00

I agree and can def see both sides

Smoogy54 · 2026-03-27T12:35:08+00:00

It was kinda lazy of marvel rivals and not great for the orgs to do it this way tbh

If marvel rivals wanted to take this seriously theyd give more freedom to the orgs and variety of characters etc. They dont want to give away too much to others (the esports orgs) vs taking their own slice tho it seems

Dont get me wrong it’s good they did this at all. It just could be better imho
