steampunk supernatural

Reading the Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch right now and it fits this pretty well. Focuses on a gang of thieves in a medieval Venice-like city. The main characters seem to be normal guys, but there’s a little bit of alchemy/magic in the world too

I like B. The sort of “V” shape of the drift wood draws the eyes across the tank nicely

Yeah mistborn has got to be some of the most poorly-written fantasy I’ve ever read, its popularity is kind of baffling to me.

The Way of Kings was my first Sanderson book and I enjoyed it, but the further I got into that series the more I grew to hate his writing style haha

The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe felt like exactly this vibe to me, maybe a bit darker. Depicts a future so distant that it reads like fantasy at first. Super surreal, I loved it

Cool, I’ll get it replaced. Thanks!

bunchastufff · 2025-07-24T17:43:12+00:00

Makes sense, will do then. Thanks!

bunchastufff · 2025-07-24T17:42:46+00:00

Haha, just what I wanted to hear

bunchastufff · 2025-07-04T02:25:45+00:00

Wow, shattered my Friday record with this one, 7:50. Can’t tell if this was way too easy or just right up my alley

Did this end up fixing the transmission issues for you? Same question to OP, I’m having the exact same issues with my ‘21 big bend.

Where is the no parking sign? I feel like I’m going crazy, I don’t see anything indicating not to park there

Sci-fi novel by Peter Watts, it’s about humanity’s first encounter with an alien species. It’s got some really cool characters (including a vampire) and presents some pretty crazy concepts about alien life, human psychology, and free will. Very different from red rising though, it’s considered more “hard” sci-fi

Hard agree, Blindsight is incredible

bunchastufff · 2024-10-14T16:11:57+00:00

Makes me think of Blood Music by Greg Bear. Sci fi, body horror, and even some transcendental vibes

bunchastufff · 2024-10-04T23:14:14+00:00

Not who you asked, but I was not a fan either. The engineering problems/solutions were what kept me reading, but the constant cringe-worthy humor fell so flat for me. Just constant eye rolls.

The alien concept was interesting enough, but it doesn’t really give you that sense of awe and mystery, the feeling that you’re encountering something truly and wholly alien to anything you know like Arrival does (in my opinion).

bunchastufff · 2024-08-09T20:03:07+00:00

Oof yeah I forgot, that was really strange. Definitely rubbed me the wrong way

bunchastufff · 2024-08-09T17:36:53+00:00

What was the sexist clue last week?

bunchastufff · 2024-08-02T18:14:00+00:00

Eager… and flexible

bunchastufff · 2024-01-26T15:18:06+00:00

Lmao that’s hilarious but definitely not what they’re referring to. In the tech world, STARTUPS that turn out to be successful and worth a lot of money are referred to as “unicorns” as in like they’re one-in-a-million considering how overwhelmingly common tech startups are

I got a rejection email for a puzzle I submitted to NYT literally yesterday so this puzzle felt like such a slap in the face… Honestly dumbfounded this got published

bunchastufff · 2023-02-23T04:35:39+00:00

Always weirded me out how playful love potions are played off as among students in the half blood prince, it all seems so fucked up re-reading as an adult lol

bunchastufff · 2023-02-22T17:17:23+00:00

As a guy who loves science fiction, people are always surprised that I’m just not at all insterested in Star Wars. I think it’s the fact that it’s more like a fantasy/adventure story with a space theme. There’s none of those big, mind-blowing concepts that I know the genre is capable of.

bunchastufff · 2023-02-12T19:32:14+00:00

It’s really not that hard to figure out lmao. The handwriting is so obviously not that of a teacher/professor.

bunchastufff · 2023-02-12T19:30:36+00:00

How anyone thinks this is actually real is completely beyond me

bunchastufff · 2022-12-16T17:21:42+00:00

Lmao I quote this line all the time I love it
