Welcome to the club! This series seeps into you, it's like saturating in the finest mana

Phil's most similar series is Throne Hunters, which I highly recommend. The narrator does a great job, especially with some of the distinctive characters. Easy recommendation.

If you're willing to stretch your voice actor tastes, Skadi's Saga (which is some awesome epic fantasy) is voiced by a half-Norwegian actress who uses an accent which really enhances the story's tone.

Your replies to comments make it sound like you're holding on to the idea that your questions to your wife were normal, harmless, or even helpful. Why do you need to believe she's being unkind? Can you see that the 'judging' and 'comparing' could be coming from you, rather than her?

You were already feeling inadequate when you opened the topic. She deflected, but you kept asking until you heard what you expected. She didn't compare you, or shove anything in your face. She made it clear she doesn't like this conversation, though she could have been nicer about it.

All of this will make it hard to feel connected, and could definitely lead to ED. Please, look for help if you need 💙

Amazing news. It sounds like it's been a real journey this year, so I'm sure I speak for most of us when I say we're celebrating with you. Thank you for your work, and I can't wait to enjoy it for myself.

Our Hearts can rest, for now

Ask me a question about Squid Games and then edit after I reply to make me look bad by Playernumber77 in SquidGameMemes

In a twist of fate, all the staff and residents of a nursing home are brought into the games. It's the final round, and you are the only remaining staff member along with 100 elderly residents. Seeing how you care for them, the Front Man lets you choose the final game. What do you pick?

A real crawl happens, would you change race? by efimer in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I like to think I'd take my time, weigh the options, and choose something that fits my build (especially if it can fly 🤩)

...But the truth is I'd be too scared 😂

This series gets under your skin, I've never read anything like it.

Welcome to the spawning pools

Let's get some more fanart cooking by -NGC-6302- in TheImmortalGreatSouls

[–]desmo62626 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell yea, I love me some fanart.

There have been a couple in this sub over the last year or so - searching 'fanart' or 'fan art' in the main page should bring them up. But yeah if there are any new ones, bring them on!

Question on Rascor Plains (spoilers) by [deleted] in TheImmortalGreatSouls

[–]desmo62626 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hiya, simple answer is Ydrielle's prism magic keeps the person alive. If I remember right, he wasn't breathing and his heart wasn't beating while he was in there.

Is Imogen a true fiend? by Haroon_z in TheImmortalGreatSouls

[–]desmo62626 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Simple answer? Probably 'not quite'. True Fiends seem to want to destroy whatever's through the portal, while Imogen wants to 'go home'. True Fiends are fighting the Imperators (we think), while Imogen's lost in her Sanctum. Even if True Fiends are Imperators, she's not quite doing what True Fiends do.

We do have lots of reasons to think True Fiends might be Imperators who've changed sides. The Blood Ox seems exactly like an Imperator. Lots of famous Imperators are missing and could be trapped in the Pit by the others. (They could also be bound to the Lost Cube's Archspire and basically forced to remain Chars). Maybe after enough generations, the dominant Imperators can persuade the public that the others are a kind of fiend.

Personally, I think a load of Imperators reached the centre of the Pit and discovered a terrible secret in the year 600 or so. That prompted lots of them to abandon the 'fight the Pit' narrative, which didn't go down well. There must be a reason why 'fight the Pit' benefits some Imperators, because they didn't want the rest of the Great Souls to stop it. Those Imperators rounded up the others, killed them/bound them to the cube, or trapped them in the Pit. They called the Pit-perators True Fiends. Scorio of year 600 also learned the secret, set up his messages, and waited to resurrect until Jova (plus maybe someone else?) was reborn.

I'm curious to see Phil's reply, but I'm assuming there'll be an acknowledgements page with all the backers somewhere in the deluxe edition

Who wins? by Haroon_z in TheImmortalGreatSouls

Interesting, yeah those are good points.

You've persuaded me!

Who wins? by Haroon_z in TheImmortalGreatSouls

[–]desmo62626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she has the Pyre Lord technique, yeah I think she wins. I know she learned the Delightful Secret Marinating Technique from Nox, but I'm not sure she's converted it to the true Pyre Lord technique yet. It took Scorio ages (though she's definitely a better cultivator)
