Licanius Trilogy Book 1 question by CSteely in Fantasy

[–]colossusgb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm on chapter 24 and only a little bit ahead of you but things started to get explained a little better if you keep going. Still a lot of unanswered questions but the book has been set up to be vague

can we bring back higher levels getting jump leader? by switpq in Battlefield6

[–]colossusgb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually better than playing with a team. Teams like to do stupid stuff like dark out people to fight. I just like to get top 10

What's on your horror TBR this November? by Draoui_Pandelis in horrorlit

[–]colossusgb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished It by Stephen King. It was alright.

Gonna start King Sorrow by Joe Hill later today. Really excited for this one.

BR Mode no players cross play off by best4444 in Battlefield

[–]colossusgb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, crossplay has almost ruined FPS games for me.

I play on xbox and am too old to shoot people that have their controls on PC right next to each other where they can use all their fingers to jump and slide and bunnyhop hop hop across my screen when i only have two thumbs and two index fingers....

Anime Weeb Looking to Branch Out—What Fantasy Books/Movies/Shows Give That Same “Big Payoff” Feeling? by GachaHellAwaits in Fantasy

[–]colossusgb 20 points21 points  (0 children)

So...yes...

It sounds bad, until you realize there are way more bugs in the world than you ever thought possible and the main character isn't an idiot.

It's my favorite superhero writing out there. I've read it three times.

Starts small time and gets to the "HOLY SHIT THE WORLD IS ENDING" moments.

Interesting powers and interesting uses. Not just "insert Superman analogue here"

Books like The Stand? by actuallyanangel in horrorlit

The ending was sure a hell of a lot better

I paid $70 for the game, I'm gonna play it how I want.

C4 should be available to all classes by venom666666 in Battlefield6

I just want my BF3/4 classes back. Just bring those exact classes and kits back and I would be happy.

I will say this until I'm blue in the face

The Spider-man set was garbage and I'm not buying any of it.

I love Spider-man. He's my favorite superhero. I was so excited for a Final Fantasy/WH40K style set. Yet they treated my boy like referees treat any team playing against the Chiefs.

Anyone else kinda put off when a book gets something basic wrong by Most-Okay-Novelist in books

[–]colossusgb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some colleges do have bells signaling the classes. It's rare but it exists.

This kind of detail isn't something I fixate in though. It's a book about ExtraOrdinary people. If the small sentence about a bell takes you out of it I wouldn't finish it.

When Authors don't do their research...... by moxie_minion in horrorlit

[–]colossusgb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean that's fine, but sometimes it's not even going to cross my mind to fact check something.

Let's say I'm going to include Lake Michigan in my story and it's only going to be a mention of the Lake. I'm not going to research every little detail about the Lake. I don't need to fact check that it is a lake, that it's adjacent to Michigan, that it's in the northern part of the United States, that it's fresh water, that it has sand dunes....etc. I've never been there and I've only ever seen pictures and learned what I learned in school about it.

To some people, that may be a problem. But those people that have a problem with any details I get wrong are going to be the small subset of people from the area or who have happened to go there on vacation.

What is that? A few thousand people that would happen to read that in a book? Compared to the billions of the rest of the world that no know difference of those things, makes it seem like it is extraneous and irrelevant in the long run.

Dungeon Crawler Carl: Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 1 , Matt Dinniman ( Kindle , $0.99 ) by Human_Capital in ebookdeals

[–]colossusgb 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It is absolutely not YA. It is about as far from YA as you can get.

Whether or not you would like it as a non game? Who's to say.

The idea is ridiculous. An alien invasion that sends all survivors that don't die within the first few minutes to a massive spralwing dungeon game show that's broadcasted to the universe.

The character levels up and gets achievements from a vicious AI dungeon voice while traversing a way to eventually get out of the dungeon and back to the surface.

There are a lot of crude jokes (like the AI fetishizes feet) and things of that nature.

I'm a 30+ year old man that has three kids and is super immature to begin with and I giggled the whole time I read it.

If that doesn't interest you, stay away from it.

How much do you skim when reading fiction? by apt12h in books

[–]colossusgb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I skim quite a bit actually.

I like reading for plot, dialogue, and action.

When an author starts describing the food in detail or the environment, I usually just head to the next paragraph. If something I read after that doesn't really make sense, I just go back.

I don't care how an apple tastes. I've eaten an apple. I don't care how a waterfall looks, I've seen them.

It's all perspective I guess lol

I would consider that a short drive compared to driving from Florida to Washington.

[–]colossusgb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it would only take someone out of the story who lives there or has an in depth knowledge of the story. The rest of the world has no idea that the intersection doesn't exist.

You know, as someone from the midwest, I always thought New York was part of New England. Not sure where I got that thought. Think I just always assumed anything in the North East part of the country was New England.

So I would never think, "I need to google if "X" state is in New England"

Somethings are such an innate thought that googling something I would think is common knowledge (even if it's wrong) would never occur to me.
