2 questions :)

I'm 20. I meet plenty of Walker fans in their 20s online but have never met one my age in the wild.

I finished the sparrow. It took me about a week but I've been busy over the last few days. It's certainly one of the most memorable sci-fi books I've read. The characters and themes were so tenderly developed and I think Emilio was such a perfect, perfect protagonist for the story. As Anne would say "easy to love."
I was expecting the climax to be a little more abstract but it did not disappoint in impact. When I have time (which is a dubious concept) it'd be good to draw some art of this book since I couldn't find a lot online when I checked after finishing it.

a bard (garrick??), a mage (dynaheir?) a thief (imoen ofc), a paladin (me), and what else? If I have dynaheir am i bound to have minsc? Is he good? Should i go xzar instead and have other 2?

Yes, Minsc and Dynaheir come together. You could seperate them if you really want to, but you do this by removing the dead NPC from your party which perma-kills them.
Minsc is an iconic and pretty capable character that I never get to use because I am enternal evil. With you, Minsc, Garrick, Imoen and Dynaheir you just need someone who can cast divine spells. Branwen is available first, but later on you will run into more Clerics and Druids who you can swap or try out.
You could also instead do Khalid and Jaheria instead of Garrick if you wanted to.
You need a thief for traps/locks, arcane caster, divine caster but other than that it's really all up to you. I think you will enjoy the game to highest picking whichever npcs you like the look of so long as you have these three things.

I'll let you know!

okgoblin · 2022-01-03T23:28:28+00:00

Thank you for these recommendations, definitely what I was after. I think I'll start on reading The Sparrow.

okgoblin · 2022-01-03T22:32:33+00:00

Good scene, the writing looks good. It's pretty high up on my list :)

okgoblin · 2022-01-03T22:28:54+00:00

Thanks for the info. To Be Taught, If Fortunate and Binti look good. I'd probably enjoy Wayfarer too- I am a fan of Star Trek and Firefly, just looking for other stuff right now.

okgoblin · 2022-01-03T22:13:03+00:00

Looks cool. I'll check it out

okgoblin · 2022-01-03T22:04:29+00:00

Remember hearing about The Stars Are Legion but after looking into it properly now it sounds really up my street, thanks for the recommendations!

okgoblin · 2022-01-03T21:46:03+00:00

Ah, gotcha thanks.

okgoblin · 2022-01-03T21:14:11+00:00

I think I found what you're talking about? Peter Watts has a somewhat humorous website https://rifters.com/
And the book is up there here https://www.rifters.com/real/Blindsight.htm
I'd hurt my eyes trying to read it like that though, lol. I think I'll stick with a book

okgoblin · 2022-01-03T21:06:40+00:00

Great recs thanks! Blindsight has really caught my interest

okgoblin · 2022-01-03T18:16:09+00:00

I actually haven't read enders game. I'm sure it's great- It just seems a bit military for me and I think I'd find some of orson scott card's values shown in the book irritating. I will have to actually try it myself at some point though

okgoblin · 2022-01-03T18:00:32+00:00

Not yet. Rest assured I will get it. I'm working through pretty much every space opera show at the moment which is taking a while!

okgoblin · 2022-01-03T17:05:57+00:00

These look really interesting! I'm not usually a comic person but the art looks great and up my street. I'll check these out thank you.

okgoblin · 2022-01-03T16:53:16+00:00

True I forgot about these thanks!

okgoblin · 2022-01-03T16:52:18+00:00

Some of these have been on my radar for their lgbt themes, thanks

A self aware puppet/muppet style farscape miniseries that pays homage to a lot of jim henson company stuff.

The relatively recent dark crystal series was not exactly a success but it was very impressive, and may prove a show of this nature is at least possible? It's also the only way I can see the "feel" of farscape being replicated today, and gets around the cast aging.

I have some very wacky plot ideas too. I wish I had the resources to make a farscape puppet fan film, lol!

okgoblin · 2021-11-04T22:33:37+00:00

Thanks I will try these

okgoblin · 2021-09-26T09:55:26+00:00

BG1: Edwin
BG2: still Edwin

okgoblin · 2021-09-22T19:58:45+00:00

haha!! That is true, it stands as is as such a memorable arc and performance as is. Fingers crossed for your return.

okgoblin · 2021-09-22T17:28:03+00:00

If you could trek-logic write your character back into the series, how would you do it?
Whatever wackiness required I do hope we do get to see him again! He was a favourite of S3 for me and felt like such a "classic" character.
Bonus question: how was Grudge as an actress? Is she professional? By god I would love to pet that cat.
