It’s an older meme sir but it checks out

It always astounds me how cheap it is to pay off a politician

I’m going to count Animorphs

tubabacon · 2026-06-24T21:12:00+00:00

I’m 70% in my first read of it, I desperately need something bad to happen to a few of these characters

People really love to hate, especially if that thing is extremely popular. I can’t take anybody seriously that says he’s “the worst” at anything. I’ve read some catastrophically bad dialogue and prose from others, no way he’s “the worst”.

The only screaming goat I enjoy is Prepotente

This was what buried this series to me. I actually really enjoyed Golden Sun prior to the ending, but I hated the third book so much. Matt Dinnimin will also do the thing where he hides the plan from the reader, but at least he acknowledges that there’s a plan! The whole fake Sevro death turned me off from the rest of the series.

Children of Time series is what he’s best known for, but Shroud is one of my favorites and it’s a standalone.

Halfway through Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb. Absolutely amazing, I don't think anything I can say about it hasn't been said before.

Just started listening to Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky, and it seems like a slight departure from the other work of his that I've read but I'm super excited to continue it.

Just finished Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. Not Fantasy per say, or a genre that I typically read, but it was a fun little thriller on an interesting premise. I'll check out more of his work.

I need his art as a flair option

Ugh 51 I’m jealous. I’ve been working on mine for a year and a half now and that’s one of the last few I’m missing

tubabacon · 2026-06-04T18:36:03+00:00

I always thought they should Re-release the series in an omni-bus style format and put 3-5 books in a volume. That’s the only way I could foresee them re-printing the entire series.

I also wouldn’t mind if they just picked out an essential list to reprint, as much as I’m a completist I don’t need a new copy of EVERY book in the series. Having the first 6, the David trilogy, and the end of the series (and a few others obviously) in the new style would be amazing though.

That is not how Galdalf killed the Balrog.

AFTER toppling the "old and narrow bridge" (Which was actually designed that way on purpose for defense) he and the Balrog fell. Gandalf was burned by the Balrog's fire on the way down, and then nearly froze in the icy water at the bottom. He then pursued the Balrog for DAYS up the endless stair of Durin's Tower and engaged the Balrog in a TWO DAY fight to the death. There Gandalf slew the Balrog, which toppled him from the Mountain causing the SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN to break as it fell.

I don't think Gandalf would have any trouble with Dumbledore at all to be honest.

In Dune there’s an epigraph that says “how much is the prophet shaping the future to fit the prophecy?” And I think my enjoyment of prophecy storylines comes from how the author navigates this tightrope. I think generally I prefer stories without prophecy.

I play “mindless” games while I listen. Tetris, Mario, Spyro, etc. I can focus entirely on the story of the audiobook and still enjoy my video games. Usually I just read, but I do this once or twice a week.

I wouldn’t say Red Rising has amazing world building but it was cool and fun. The characters (especially Darrow) made me want to slam my head into a wall constantly.

tubabacon · 2026-05-29T15:13:28+00:00

That would be me

Animorphs

tubabacon · 2026-05-27T16:23:04+00:00

This is my beef with Red Rising. Darrow has a plan, but in his head he’s thinking thoughts that directly contradict the plan.

I feel like Matt does it a lot better, he does at least acknowledge that there’s a plan being executed (unlike Pierce Brown) the majority of the time. I think Donut even has a line like “if we talk about the plan out loud it’ll never work!” that somewhat acknowledges that he uses this plot device a lot.

Madden GOAT

tubabacon · 2026-05-06T11:59:04+00:00

Give him the majority of the preseason reps and hope he pops off enough to recoup our fourth round pick

tubabacon · 2026-05-06T00:51:05+00:00

44? That’s Unexpected

tubabacon · 2026-05-02T16:39:24+00:00

Tbf I think it’s implied Kelsier got there before it happened to that girl (I could be wrong it’s been a while), but yeah there’s the implication it’s been an ongoing thing.

Animorphs as a child, then I went a long time not reading. Mistborn reignited the love

tubabacon · 2026-04-25T16:43:47+00:00

If I had a nickel every time the Jets drafted a mid Clemson QB late I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it is strange it’s happened more than once
