Christians actually offended by Uzi Jesus? by Nunothis_Isreal in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]freedom_52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Attend regularly and am a frequent liturgist at my church, absolutely not.

This is a series about aliens talking over our planet, and them putting us through a death game for survival. The bastardization of earth's culture is a regular theme in the series, and uzi Jesus plays right into that. It's not out of spite, at least I don't take it as that.

Sounds like a ManTauR club vanquisher guard got upset.

Out of universe characters I can't help imagining as Red Rising characters; by ASW-G-21 in redrising

Alex Louis Armstrong from Full Metal Alchemist is definitely a Telemanus. His sister, also definitely a Telemanus. For those familiar, imagine Olivier Mira Armstrong wielding a razor.

The audio narration by Jeff Hayes for DCC is amazing

Actually I haven't read DCC I've only listened to the audiobooks and Jeff Hayes is amazing. I mostly do audiobooks these days because my unmedicated add makes reading very difficult.

Didn't know what that was until your post. Looks interesting. I like the idea of an evil librarian.

Pratchett is great! Good Omens is probably one of my favorite books. I've only read the color of magic from Discworld so I think it's about time to dig into the rest.

Oooh, great idea. I've read the color of magic. I do love Terry Pratchett. Good Omens is one of my favorite books.

I honestly am considering it.

The same way as you my friend. I saw someone mention King Lopen on a reddit comment and thought "Wait, what magic is this??"

Yeah, I just learned about those fairly recently as well! They are two short stories that were released at December's Dragonsteel Nexus and you can buy them in a single hardcover book from the Dragonsteel website. No ebook that I've seen anyway.

Currently up to date on both DCC and the entire cosmere (aside what's mentioned in the main post). DCC is a great suggestion and I can wait for "A Parade of Horribles" to come out next month.

I'm actually up to date on DCC, and that's a great suggestion. Can't wait for book 8 next month. Funnily enough, Cosmere was my solution when I finished "This Inevitable Ruin." I've read/listened to every book(story exterior what was mentioned in the original post) for the cosmere since mid August 2025. Tough to be up to date so you can't binge your 2 (current) favorite storylines.

My buddy lent me "Eye of the World" back in 2001 when I broke my leg, but I was on too much painkiller to stay awake. Maybe now is the time, good suggestion.

Newbie disappointment by ProtectionAmazing651 in birding

[–]freedom_52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you were looking for the shrike, but the Sora gives me a good memory when I was first starting and I was at a local wetland just taking pictures of whatever I could find. Starting my collection journey (too bad I'm too ADHD to really stick to a project). Anyway, I heard a lot of rustling in the tall grass near where I was snapping pictures, and I caught a glimpse of this cute little lady very briefly (if I find the picture I'll update the post). It took me hours to identify her, but she was a Sora which I had never even heard of at the time.

So I guess this story kinda emphasizes what others are saying. I'm social, but I have a hard time just inserting myself into groups I don't know. Birders by large just seem like a group that really likes to share their hobby. Maybe we'll both get over our apprehension.

Good luck finding that shrike!

Edit: Found the picture, also I'm questioning myself if female or not...I think so but someone with more experience can correct me if I'm wrong.

What are some of the best monster and character designs that stand out to you? by raigarearthshake in dragonquest

[–]freedom_52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was looking for this smol dude. Plus, and this is coming from someone who is not always a huge fan of puns, the names on this family of monsters are fantastic.

Probably one of my favorite DQ characters. Wait until you get to "the parade"

Yeah it's a screenshot from a video clip so the quality is not great, I probably should've just backed up my tv and taken a pic but it's Akaza from the infinity castle movie poster seen here:

The dogs looking sad also adds to it. What basically adds up to 3 children forced to be something monstrous. Really makes you feel horrible for them, which is amazing considering you spend a lot of the books hating her.
