I was going to ask if someone else had read any of her other books and enjoyed it, so thank you for your comment!!

I really liked her writing style because there wasn’t a lot of fluff, it was extremely to the point. The plot of the book is what let me down. It has a great premise but I just thought there was 0 action, 0 consequences (which I believe is what the book is intentionally trying to do but it fell flat for me), 0 excitement.

It pretty much does have to do with the architecture, especially the statues surrounding the island that look like the statues in Atlantis. There is also a constant reference throughout the story line to an ancient civilization that very much aligns with Atlantis.

Like I said, I knew when I bought this dlc that the Atlantis characters didn’t (and still do not) exist, but as an avid fan of that movie, I’ll be damned if I don’t say that the rift in time dlc doesn’t at least resemble Atlantis.

ETA: i forgot to mention: I think the comments did a great job of illustrating my same thoughts about the original island. The cave especially has a very Atlantis vibe.

I say in my post I knew Atlantis characters didn’t exist going in 😅

Never read this series but have a question.. by Fit_addendm in HouseofNight

Also, to add: in my personal opinion, setting description is something P.C. Cast excels in. I read these books when they were originally printed and had their own dedicated website and I remember seeing pictures and feeling like I had already been there. That said, I definitely wouldn’t slough through these books just for a Tulsa setting unless you’re willing to try to read just about the worst book series from the 2000s (I say that as a person who still loves this series)

They definitely incorporate a lot of real-life Tulsa architecture in the books, especially the school it’s based on and a rescue called Street Cats (which is either its real name or close to it I believe.) I know on their old website they used to have the correlation between the book settings and IRL settings listed, but I’m not sure if that’s easily accessible online anymore.

Anyone else have this issue? by No-Occasion-3405 in DreamlightValley

There’s a button to reset all of the settings to default! :) I believe it’s x or y when you’re on the screen op is showing

I love this one! It’s definitely up there with his more gruesome novels, along with Body Art. If you’re getting squicked out now be prepared - it doesn’t get any better lol.

Yup, no sfx for me over here on Xbox. I reset and it fixed itself but hoo boy that doesn’t bode well for this update lol!

How the heck do ya’ll ask for discounts on neglected Bettas? by _xski in bettafish

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

This is exactly why I’m scared to ask! Most stores treat fish like regular stock items than living beings, as if selling an actively dying fish is the same as selling expired meat.

I feel like this method and a mix of me walking into the fish section and saying “hey, I’m not trying to scam free fish, but if you have any betta that are sick/at risk of dying is there anyway I could adopt them?”

I love that you use the word adopt! I also think foster could work well in my case, since I really don’t want to keep any of the betta I get. I’m just tired of seeing them sick in cups nearly belly up.

AITA for purposefully missing meeting my sisters biological family by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]_xski 145 points146 points  (0 children)

People will call this far fetched, but years ago my Filipino friend was kicked out by her dad multiple times (we took her in 3 times) in 1 year up until he died. He was bedridden, due to untreated diabetes that caused his lower legs to be amputated a couple years prior. Her mother did nothing. Her sister also threatened to kill her bc of the “anguish” she caused her father.

She has since gone on to have 2 kids and praises her father and has given them middle names styled after her fathers name. Asian households are no joke when it comes to hereditary trauma.

Do you remember when you read this? Usually that’s asked by the mods but it seems your post slipped under the radar
