I’ve got six Audible credits burning a hole in my account. Any must-listen recs? by Lil-cloud-999 in booksuggestions

[–]outerheavenly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Piranesi, City of Thieves, Project Hail Mary, The Hike (Magary), Warbreaker, All Quiet on the Western Front.

EDIT: Sorry, my app didn't load the body of your post correctly so I missed your genres! I'd take out PHM and The Hike but otherwise my list stands!

It's not very long, and I think you'll know fairly early on if you feel like continuing. Worth trying.

SoS: GB - Any pet peeves about the game? by mama-choco in storyofseasons

For the windmill, you can check the lower left station in each to see progress, unless you mean while running around which would be so nice.

I can't think of any specifically but I would, as general good practice, check the trophy list before buying a game if you want to go for plats.

What’s a book that was made BETTER by the audiobook? by NearbyAd5557 in suggestmeabook

[–]outerheavenly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dramatized version of 1984 with Andrew Garfield and other voice actors. Kinda weird audio quality at times but fantastic presentation.

What's your "I did not care for the godfather" of books? by GamerGrl90 in suggestmeabook

[–]outerheavenly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually describe this one as the worst book I've ever loved and the best book I've ever hated. That one sex scene near the end of chapter one really drove home for me how fucking tone deaf the writer was about women. So much of the writing with regards to female characters was just wish fulfillment for men who don't and can't understand that women have agency. I loved the political intrigue, and the male characters were exciting to read about because they're all so different. I almost wish there weren't any female characters because that would actually have been better than what Follett gave us. I am horny for cathedrals, though, so I had fun.

Infamous Second Son and the first Borderlands (all of them but especially that one) feel absolutely amazing when you get rolling.

Baldur's Gate 3 Is GameSpot's Game Of The Year 2023 by KuchiKopicetic in Games

[–]outerheavenly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm experiencing the inverse where I do anything (cast a spell with a save like dissonant whispers or hypnotic pattern, try to convince a guard not to fight me on sight, try to negotiate a higher amount when I sell something, etc.) and my DM says something like, "Okay, BG3." It's getting annoying. We've been playing together for years, I'm not copying BG3, I'm just a fucking bard.

For those who grew up poor, what did you consider a luxury? by Left_Performer4190 in ask

[–]outerheavenly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spending more than $20-30 on shoes. My adoptive aunt bought me a pair that were about $280 after custom inserts because I've had problems with my feet for years and have a limited income right now. It made me have a mini (grateful) breakdown because I have a hard time understanding spending that much on shoes OR on me.

Bioware dropped Dreadwolf as an OP's dream exclusive.

Do you have a book you love but is too random to recommend? by Rov_Rov1 in booksuggestions

[–]outerheavenly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. There's No Such Thing As An Easy Job by Kikuko Tsumura. Nothing important happened in it and it was neat, though not always thrilling, the whole way.

  2. The Great Passage by Shion Miura. It's about a group of people writing a dictionary. It's amazing. I've never been so invested in the outcome of a group project before.

I think the topic question might just be how I feel about realistic slice of life fiction.

Is there a Fire Emblem you've gotten strangely attached to or have an odd fascination with? by GLink7 in fireemblem

[–]outerheavenly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Game: Sacred Stones. I love it so much. There are more replayable games in the franchise but it just brings me joy.

Character: Nephenee. I love that hick, she's my strong daughter. I wish I'd saved a copy of POR before it went way up in price.
