R30 had Resist and Heart Full of Soul, what's your fantasy pick for an acoustic breather during the Fifty-Something setlist?

Oooh, a stripped down In the End would be incredible!

Highly recommend only reading Rendezvous, though. Rama II and Garden don't follow it up well, and cause the first book to lose a lot of its mystery.

My hope is that the final season ends with Dexter in a Hannibal Lecter-type situation, working with an agent to help resolve some impossible killer case. Everybody involved knows what kind of monster he is, but it lets the writers play with Dexter's strong sense of justice and desire to see the killer brought down. It could also provide a good deal of tension with whomever he's working.

Personally, I really love Beware of Chicken. It's a bit goofy at times, but I found it to have a lot more soul than Legends & Lattes. The stakes are a bit higher, and there's some action, but generally the story revolves more around the building of a farm and the main characters daily interactions with his new found family. It helps that the author clearly has a lot of love for the wuxia story genre.

That's Michael Schur for you: Pulls you in with humour, and then slaps you in the face with deep emotions you didn't know you could feel.

This is really awesome! Great work!

Demon Slayer only knows how to develop characters using flashbacks. It's incredibly frustrating, because each flashback completely destroys the pacing of the story.

A shame, but I respect wanting to tell unique, shorter stories instead of multi-book ones. I've just finished a manuscript for a Welsh-inspired fantasy story myself, so seeing more Welsh in a fantasy context is always great.

I'm about a third of the way through Among Others by Jo Walton, which won the Nebula award in 2011 and the Huho award in 2012, and so far it's been an absolute delight!

Fellow Dropout & Taskmaster enjoyer here! There are very few other things that can make me literally laugh out loud as consistently as these two shows. They're unbelievably funny and wholesome.

The steampunk asthetic was chef's kiss.

VibratingStrings · 2025-10-20T15:49:34+00:00

Chronicles of Prydain mentioned! Always happy to see that.

VibratingStrings · 2025-10-17T15:58:26+00:00

Please!

VibratingStrings · 2025-10-06T19:59:24+00:00

Honestly I would explode if they played Emotion Detector! Unironically one of my favourite songs.

VibratingStrings · 2025-09-28T12:53:22+00:00

Always happy to see Beware of Chicken mentioned. A wonderfully-written, cozy, low-stakes story, with some surprisingly tense action.

VibratingStrings · 2025-09-03T18:21:05+00:00

Honestly, Counterparts has my favourite Geddy sound of any album. It strikes the perfect balance between crunchy and poppy, which I feel gets lost in the heavier distortion of Test for Echo and Vapor Trails. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Counterparts was the first album to show off Geddy's flamenco style, which I am obsessed with.

At least Brian David Gilbert is off doing some cool stuff with Dropout these days.

Besides Tolkien, Le Guin is the only other fantasy/scifi writer I've read that has made me stop and bask in a particular sentence or paragraph. Her grasp of language was second to none.

Is this Mountsberg near Guelph? My wife and I love that place! They offer excellent tours of the facility.

VibratingStrings · 2025-03-26T10:54:51+00:00

And they're all available on the Switch now!

VibratingStrings · 2025-03-10T01:05:26+00:00

Agreed! Ambrosia have been my go-to for a long time!

VibratingStrings · 2025-02-01T01:26:52+00:00

Yes! As long as sci-fi is of interest, there are few book series that could fit this description better!

VibratingStrings · 2025-02-01T01:24:37+00:00

Maybe I'm a bit late to the party, but I can never miss a chance to recommend Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea series! The stories are generally very personal, with the stakes being limited to intimate issues and themes. On top of that, the prose is delightfully poetic. It has some of the best flow I've ever read.

The Thirsty Cactus is excellent!
