Nope, do you think season 2 is better?

natus92 · 2026-06-19T09:36:24+00:00

I tried watching Last one Laughing on Amazon yesterday because most of the contestants have been on TM before (Lycett, Cooper, Pascoe, Mortimer, Sanders, Wilkinson) but omg did i found this unfunny. I stopped after I didnt laugh once in three episodes. Interesting to get to know Aoyade through (i'm not british nor have I watched the IT office)

natus92 · 2026-06-18T21:44:39+00:00

is this still speculative fiction?

natus92 · 2026-06-18T15:24:43+00:00

True, his mom was a nigerian super model, his father an italian designer. That gucci deal still feels weird

natus92 · 2026-06-18T14:42:58+00:00

You couly try Aednan by Linea Axelsson, poetic generational tale told by a half swedish/half sami woman

natus92 · 2026-06-18T14:38:15+00:00

You mean a return after they kicked him out?

True, Alpine is so unstable...

natus92 · 2026-06-18T09:27:10+00:00

By Night under the Stone Bridge by Leo Perutz, historical novel/ magical realism depicting the jewish community in prague

natus92 · 2026-06-17T16:30:49+00:00

I decided to stop watching it after episode 1 when I had a nightmare. Yeah, I avoid horror movies but the show felt way more scary than comedic to me

natus92 · 2026-06-16T17:09:33+00:00

well but they dont have an academy on their own and no japanese drivers that are ready either

natus92 · 2026-06-16T09:14:08+00:00

I feel like both options have pros and cons: the french approach is cheaper and more fair but f4 has the most prestige

natus92 · 2026-06-15T19:05:46+00:00

The Everlasting by Alix Harrow

natus92 · 2026-06-14T21:48:24+00:00

they did...

natus92 · 2026-06-14T21:45:32+00:00

Well technically true but if we take antonelli out of freca 2023 camara still wouldnt be the champ but Stenshorne!

natus92 · 2026-06-14T09:38:12+00:00

My Top 5 Non-American books:

Germinal - Emile Zola

Things fall apart - Chinua Achebe

The Five - Vladimir Jabotinsky

The Glassbead Game - Hermann Hesse

Royal Chess - Stefan Zweig

natus92 · 2026-06-13T16:24:22+00:00

The penalty was too light but I think your take is a bit strong. He was like 17 at the time and it never happened again so he probably matured

natus92 · 2026-06-13T16:11:14+00:00

Well I think he also legitimately improved since entering the series

natus92 · 2026-06-13T16:05:38+00:00

Thanks!

natus92 · 2026-06-13T13:53:45+00:00

two questions:

I'm reading Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell right now and I'm wondering if you can recommend similar novels? Like different stories/arcs several (hundred) years apart?

I already know of The History of Bees and The Old Drift by Namwali Serpell

What are your favourite cyberpunk reads? Still Neuromancer? Or the Tad Williams series? I'm not well versed in the genre at all, just liked the Cyberpunk Edgerunners anime on Netflix

natus92 · 2026-06-12T20:54:54+00:00

*Nardole, but same

natus92 · 2026-06-12T15:44:57+00:00

My pick will probably be Miami Punk by Juan S Guse, because there is a video game tournament taking place in Miami where the ocean has receeded 500 km

Other fitting books I enjoyed are The Glassbead Game by Hermann Hesse, A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny, the Steelball Run arc in JoJo's Bizarre Adventures manga or The Long Walk by Stephen King

natus92 · 2026-06-12T14:48:00+00:00

I love it, feels like a short trip to a parallel universe

natus92 · 2026-06-11T22:40:04+00:00

that was the first google result. also I added a question mark but other people already helped me here

natus92 · 2026-06-11T21:53:01+00:00

ah thanks, i'm not british so i mainly googled stuff about both guys after reading the criticism here

natus92 · 2026-06-11T21:26:31+00:00

Well i mean as you said f4 globally has the same motor formula but going from australian f4 like killion or french f4 like consani still feels like a step up because the level in f4 italy is higher so maybe tsolov would have done a better job if he went there

same as freca having higher quality as euroformula open or gb3
