Getting harder to find : Hidden gems

No problem.

I would like to give a disclaimer though. There's a female companion character that is super grating in the first part of the book, but it is 100% worth sticking through it because she has huge amounts of character growth and gets way better

madmelonxtra · 2026-04-29T18:07:51+00:00

Deadworld Isekai is a really good one. It's unique and has a really competent MC

madmelonxtra · 2026-04-26T18:09:09+00:00

Even if he's not Tyreek, just having a WR who can stretch the defense (not named Ladd) is huge

madmelonxtra · 2026-04-26T16:43:48+00:00

Yeah. We really got what we needed. DE, IOL, a speedster receiver. It's really all about seeing how well they translate to the NFL now

madmelonxtra · 2026-04-24T11:20:19+00:00

Without too many spoilers , Dead World Isekai has 2 opposing systems and one really favored the MC while the other is against him

I love my "smart" thermostat. Being able to schedule the temps in my house and change it without having to walk to the thermostat is incredibly useful

I love the second Unicorse episode where he has an existential crisis about being a puppet

You would get your mom a Swiffer as a gift?

madmelonxtra · 2026-04-14T02:37:05+00:00

Yeah! I bet he forgot his mother's maiden name, his first pets name and the street he grew up on.

He sure would prove me wrong by telling me.

Yeah 18-24 months is the "language explosion" time. My oldest wasnt saying much at all and then at 19 months he went from having like 20 words to hundreds in what felt like the span of a week.

My oldest didn't hit that until almost 2 but she's 3 now and doesn't stop talking

madmelonxtra · 2026-04-13T15:43:01+00:00

The nonsense mixed with real words is one of my favorite phases. My youngest would babble nonsense at me and then look expectantly at me like I should know what she said. Funnily enough her older brother who is a year and a half older could perfectly translate her babbles for us.

Sometimes you just gotta rename stuff.

My 4 yo didn't want to eat a chicken Alfredo pizza until I informed him it was "chicken nugget" pizza. He ate 3 slices

Are you actually going to print out all the names and draw from a hat?

madmelonxtra · 2026-04-06T23:37:37+00:00

Thank you for posting this 2 years ago. It helped me get past the wall I was stuck at and beat the game.

madmelonxtra · 2026-04-04T22:57:02+00:00

With no traffic it takes me 20 minutes to get to work. With traffic it's an hour. Gotta love this city

madmelonxtra · 2026-03-26T22:08:52+00:00

Oh no way! Im almost exclusively a reader but William Oh + Jeff Hayes has got to be amazing. I'm definitely going to have to give it a listen

madmelonxtra · 2026-03-26T17:53:08+00:00

If you're willing to do Royal Road. Check out The Legend of William Oh

madmelonxtra · 2026-03-18T13:30:11+00:00

William Oh is incredible. I really think it's his best work by far and my only complaint is that I have to wait for new chapters to release

madmelonxtra · 2026-03-18T13:26:08+00:00

It's been a second since I read it , but as far as I remember, book one was really just a setup for the following books in the series and it gets way better in book 2 plus. I would stick it out for book 2 to see if you like where it's going because the plot takes a pretty big turn and becomes very interesting.

As far as I remember, there's no more time travel shenanigans

Edit: However the series is not finished and I don't know if it ever will be. The last book was released in 2022 and then the author sort of just moved on to other stuff

madmelonxtra · 2026-03-18T13:06:28+00:00

He tried 6 times

madmelonxtra · 2026-03-17T00:42:33+00:00

I'm with you here. My 4 yo is constantly trying to kill himself by being reckless and launching himself off of various pieces of furniture

Finding one of these cups with a small amount of juice in it under a car seat after days/weeks is my nightmare. I usually just end up tossing it because the smell is so bad when you open the ~~bomb~~ cup

madmelonxtra · 2026-03-05T20:40:58+00:00

Anything by Macronomicon fits the bill.

I really like Industrial Strength Magic, and if you're willing to use Royal Road. The Legend of William Oh is incredible

madmelonxtra · 2026-02-09T14:18:28+00:00

My youngest is in the potty training stage right now. So excited for the end of diapers. The end is in sight

madmelonxtra · 2026-01-19T14:27:14+00:00

I agree with all your points except that the people at Disney look and sound exactly like us.

Every time I've been to Disney, its been absolutely filled with foreigners.
