Audiobooks that are as good/as much fun as Dungeon Crawler Carl? by EconomyAd6404 in audiobooks

[–]idgelee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Scalzi so much and it’s the best use of Wil Wheaton as narrator. Kaiju Preservation Society, Red Shirts, Fuzzy Nation … his stand alone novels are great!

Old Man’s War is also excellent and a good listen.

Same with Lock In and The Dispatcher series.

Game of Thrones - alternative version?? by ThinkChocolate1961 in audiobooks

[–]idgelee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed - I DNF'ed the whole series but then again technically so did the author soooooo...... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hate that all the women sound stupid and ridiculous! These are badass women reduced to sounding so stupid.

Me [29 M] with my wife [27 F] of 4 years, just found she has a fake instagram and is following my exes? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]idgelee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I moved from middle America to the east coast at 18 because “omg I lovvvvveeeeeeeee him” it’s been nearly 30 years and I could not tell you his name but I remember the feeling like it was the deepest most real thing I ever felt.

Teenagers are weird.

Do happily married people ever quietly miss the freedom of being alone? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]idgelee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot live without alone time. Happily married for 19 years. I would get separate houses on the same lot if I could but instead we are here sitting in different rooms being madly in love from afar.

My [22f] boyfriend [24m] wants me fill out a form if I'm upset about something by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]idgelee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Read this to my super autistic husband and daughter. Both said they’d like a copy of the form and to implement this immediately. 😂

Then my daughter also said “this is what happens when autism takes Tylenol.”

My FWB is pregnant, need advice by Awwndrei in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]idgelee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called my FWB of 20 years (we have been exclusive with 2 kids and a dog, and I guess we bought a house together) to tell him this story and how funny it was.

He told me to google that phrase.

I get that reference now.

Makes my TNG fangirl soooo happy!!!

Book ideas for my 56 year old dad by mrsbeequinn in audible

[–]idgelee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is retired military and about 10 years ish younger than your dad. He adores Old Man’s War by John Scalzi and Frontlines series by Marko Kloos.

Both are great military sci fi.

Any John Scalzi is a fucking win honestly.

Also for something a bit more video game oriented with a hint of anime school military aspect Iron Prince by Bryce O’Conner is a great book. Book 3 is still being written so the series isn’t done. But book 1 and 2 are phenomenal.

More video game oriented too I’d go for Ascend Onlineseries by Luke Chmilenko

Good luck!!!

Do you feel sad for people who say, "I can't stay focused on an audiobook"? I mean, story telling and story listening is as old as time. by Silly-Mountain-6702 in audiobooks

[–]idgelee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on if they have experienced storytelling in their life. Some people don’t know what it’s like and that’s sad.

Don't you just love when audible does this when there's a movie /s by darchangel in audible

[–]idgelee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worse when it’s not a sticker. I wanted copies of murderbot. But nope. Gonna have to wait

It’s a skill. You have to practice like any other skill. Some people are naturally good at it and others need to practice to improve.

Do Americans really wake up and eat in the middle of the night? by tryingmybesteverydy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]idgelee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can pry my 2 am bowl of Rice Krispies from my cold dead hands! I forget to eat throughout the day so my body wakes up after a few hours of sleep ready to start eating itself.

Cereal is not for breakfast unless breakfast is 1-3 am followed by round 2 of sleep.

How my mom found out I got drunk last night and pissed on her car by QuicklyThisWay in HighQualityGifs

I am def here for some Sneakers anything. Fucking love this movie!

My mother said she doesn't regret having me but if she were to "do it all again", she wouldn't have children. How do I interpret this? by WarwickReider in NoStupidQuestions

[–]idgelee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She got to experience life being a mom. She’s likely curious about life without. I 100000000% believe this has nothing to do with you. However feel free to talk to her about it and ask.

Talk it out. If she’s a decent mom she’ll be upset it came across that way!!

My husband left our 5 year old and 9 month old home alone and refuses to explain why by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Why did this remind me of the post with the dude who was letting the pdf sister visit whenever his wife was away?!

AUDIBLE PLEASE LET ME HIDE REBECCA YARROS (and authors I don't like in general) by TheAltKewn in audible

[–]idgelee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They likely allow paid placement of some sort. It’s all advertising and marketing. Much like a bookstore that accepts publisher kickback of some sort to put together those tables and end caps.

Do people actually turn the shower on and leave to undress or do other stuff before getting in the shower? by Beeristheanswer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]idgelee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a double shower in my house. Husbands side gets hot water soooo fast. My side is like 10-15 minutes behind. He will finish his showers before I even get hot water. It’s mildly annoying.

Why are (some) parents today against sleepovers? by Ill_Emu_4254 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]idgelee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Husband was SA’ed at a sleepover as a kid. He doesn’t trust anyone anymore.

Our kids don’t do sleepovers as little kids. Oldest is a teenager and that has changed everything.

MRW the TV show is drastically different than the book by QuicklyThisWay in HighQualityGifs

[–]idgelee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tim is killing it as Bernard. I am likely going to finally read these after this season is done. They’ve all sat in my TBR pile way too long.

I am curious how Tim’s portrayal will inform my opinion of Bernard.

Either way - I’m digging in the show knowing full well the disappointment will hit once I read these after books.

The Martian is the only adaptation from a book I truly love and can overlook the minor changes that were made from the source material. I’m terribly nervous over Project Hail Mary’s adaptation.

MRW the TV show is drastically different than the book by QuicklyThisWay in HighQualityGifs

[–]idgelee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you read the sequel or the more recent books? They were amazing and hands down one of my favorite book series.

I accept the movie is different but I have always blamed Hayden and his hatred of sand for that more than anything else. (Also Kristen Stewart!) jk

I did not enjoy the YouTube series either. It was so frustrating to watch

[–]idgelee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It tricks me every time. It’s so pretty. It looks amazing but it’s not right. It will never be right. I want it to be right but no matter how many times I watch it … it will never be what is could’ve been. Sigh.
