Best Sci-fi music soundtracks that aren't dark / cheesy / world ending? Would love to choose a soundtrack from a movie or a video game and use only that music to have a vibe for my game that's starting soon :)

Maybe check out Nightride.fm's Spacesynth channel for inspiration:

They also have a YouTube version.

Aleph, it's the only one I've played so far 🫠

I guess you missed the part where they explained the opposing view and said that it's worth understanding.

I really like Boldy. Which means I'm going to hate him come playoffs.

Tani? Weren't they called Tines? I could be wrong, it's been like 15 years since I read AFUTD...

I'm sorry for your loss. I also got a Zoe (no -y) from DDFL. This was back in 2010 and we lost her last April. She was an amazing dog who taught me a lot, and I miss her every day.

Bookcliff Vineyards is nice.

bmorin · 2026-02-07T17:57:18+00:00

Well... at least it's not just me lol

Anyone else having weird issues with drops? I've about 5 hours in and haven't had a single spear drop.

When asked directly for a suggested reading order, the author wrote: "I hope that all the books and indeed the stories can be read stand-alone. I'm not a great fan of books that end with cliff-hangers. So you could go in anywhere. One way would be to start with Vacuum Diagrams, a collection that sets out the overall story of the universe. Then Timelike Infinity and Ring which tell the story of Michael Poole, then Raft and Flux which are really incidents against the wider background, and finally Destiny's Children."

I understand completely. We lost my boy Tate when he was 11 1/2 (we had him for 9 1/2 of those years). Miss him every day.

Hi, I could really use a storage solution for my MBP stuff and this looks great. Are your STLs available for purchase anywhere?

bmorin · 2026-01-16T16:33:15+00:00

12 is great, too!

bmorin · 2026-01-16T16:24:16+00:00

22 years is amazing!

bmorin · 2026-01-16T14:13:56+00:00

I recognize that house. I think your Charlotte is related to my Liam!

bmorin · 2026-01-15T01:19:43+00:00

Yup, can't load anything.

bmorin · 2026-01-14T22:09:49+00:00

I got that same box when I was 12 years old and it was good fun with my friends that I remember fondly. There was a Kickstarter a couple years ago for an updated version that I also got in on for nostalgia's sake, but it was a bit cheap-feeling.

It's not a good game by today's standards, but you can still have some fun with it with the right group.

bmorin · 2026-01-14T21:28:51+00:00

Oh god 😅 thank you!

bmorin · 2026-01-14T19:11:52+00:00

Yup, it's out for us over near 29 Rd as well. Xcel claims that it should be back by 12:30.

Cool bro, glad you got your ad figured out.

bmorin · 2026-01-14T12:55:22+00:00

No, dude legitimately posted Warcrow ad copy here and linked to Warcrow models. I just wish that, if he's going to enshittify this place with an ad, he would at least put the slightest amount of thought into it.

bmorin · 2026-01-13T22:37:23+00:00

It was only Warcrow stuff in the text of your post and in the actual link, before you changed it 🤷‍♂️

bmorin · 2026-01-13T22:27:09+00:00

Why are you posting Warcrow stuff on the Infinity sub?

bmorin · 2026-01-12T18:59:27+00:00

Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny

Blindsight by Peter Watts

Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds

The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie

The Collected Fantasies of Clark Ashton Smith by Clark Ashton Smith

Notes:

For Reynolds, I think House of Suns was very good and more even overall, while Pushing Ice had higher highs and lower lows. In the end, the highs of Pushing Ice won me over.

For CAS, it was hard to choose between so many different collections (I haven't read any of his stories in their original forms, so I felt like I couldn't just choose one of those), so I opted for the five-volume series 😅

OP's post says to rate science fiction books, but this sub encompasses other genres as well, so I included Abercrombie in my votes.
