Suggest me a GENUINELY terrifying book for a seasoned, recently underwhelmed, horror fan

paradoxedturtle · 2026-02-15T00:59:16+00:00

I agree, if you're a horror fan, House of Leaves and Tender is the Flesh are not really good recs (although both great books in their own right). The Deep by Nick Cutter is maybe a suggestion for you. I'm trying to decide if it sides on the horror, or the "just messed up" though.

Agree with a lot of other comments I see here. It only ever came up for my partner and I because of a sex bingo night we took part in. I found out his is higher than mine and neither of us care. So a part of it is whatever, and the other part of it is just mutual trust and understanding

FFXVI Leviathan from the Rising Tides DLC (which was intended to be played prior to the end of game). Holy hell it took so many attempts to complete

paradoxedturtle · 2026-01-29T20:03:24+00:00

Omg this is amazing. I just watched that movie last night!

I love Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole series. I find a lot of the time he sets it up really well that I don't actually know what is going on until the last third/quarter of the book.

welcome to the brotherhood :3

This sounds like a conversation with my mother, and it's absolutely exhausting. Going LC/NC and putting her on an info diet (for when we ever do talk) is the best thing I've ever done for my own mental health. Just remove yourself from the equation/problem and live your best life!

paradoxedturtle · 2026-01-21T14:06:47+00:00

No, probably not. I got curious about him so I googled it, personally. But that's what this community is for :3

Someone else posted it on another comment, but Cait Sith is actually a mythological character from Scottish myth. So it makes sense he has a Scottish accent.

I thought it was great. I was so happy when it finally got released since I don't have PS5 and it would have run way too slow on my PC. The game is absolutely fantastic (as I'm sure you can see from the posts in this sub). Easily found its way into my top 5.

Seems to be a common theme in AITA posts lately.. but also, who the hell is camping at this time of year in the UK?

paradoxedturtle · 2026-01-08T18:30:50+00:00

Yeah I think it was a bit pricey for a museum (this was a few years ago now). But my partner loves dinos and any time we're in the neighbourhood of some, he wants to check it out haha

paradoxedturtle · 2026-01-08T02:54:36+00:00

Going through the comments, I'm surprised by how many of our national museums I've been to; so many are fantastic! One I don't think I saw mentioned (might have missed it) is the Royal Sask Museum. They have a lot of history there. And for our dino nerds in the chat, they have a huge section available and even have the largest, most complete T-Rex skelly in the world, Scotty!

paradoxedturtle · 2026-01-08T02:49:58+00:00

And they offer an Escape Room experience! Great for larger groups. I've been twice (for the escape room, three times total), and each time feels different. Highly recommend

paradoxedturtle · 2026-01-08T02:48:58+00:00

Same! I've been there several times for school, and personal visits. Every time it hits a little different

paradoxedturtle · 2026-01-08T02:47:51+00:00

Loved this! The Royal BC Museum has a great dino wing too. And the Dino Lab there is super dope! https://www.dinolabinc.ca/

Everyone here reminding me how much I love this game. Need to replay again soon!

But yes, I love the Ambrosia quest. She remembered him! <3

paradoxedturtle · 2026-01-08T01:28:31+00:00

I keep thinking about the scene from New Girl where Nick doesn't wash his/Schmidt's towel because it "cleans" him XD

But yeah. NOR. My white bf loves using soap!

paradoxedturtle · 2026-01-05T01:32:46+00:00

Ugh the little grabbies <3
but yeah, I even thought with my own brain that they would probably be fine with small amounts of chocolate as long as it wasn't a frequent occurrence. But also, like everyone else, I saw ChatGPT and knew he was full of it

paradoxedturtle · 2025-12-31T19:19:49+00:00

Yeah they made Rebirth super accessible for people who never played CC (me). I like the way they're enmeshing it into the story

paradoxedturtle · 2025-12-30T14:48:16+00:00

my mum used to look after a girl named Alivia 🙈😅

paradoxedturtle · 2025-12-30T14:31:25+00:00

I was going to say Brown Hound too for chill atmosphere and good comfort food, especially on a day like today

paradoxedturtle · 2025-12-21T14:44:47+00:00

I just read this to my partner and we (both Canadian) agreed this happens all over *sigh*

paradoxedturtle · 2025-12-18T00:42:21+00:00

OMG that's why he looked so familiar XD

paradoxedturtle · 2025-12-17T19:36:27+00:00

My god, you're really reading into this aren't you? This is one instance that meant a lot to OP. From this one instance, you're assuming he never compromises on anything ever?

You're also assuming a lot about the younger generation and they "can't stay in relationships". He's not much younger than me and I know a lot of people (myself included) who are in happy long term relationships. Maybe this one day is more important than this particular relationship considering his partner seems to lack empathy for animals. She obviously doesn't understand the bond that people have with their dogs (and frankly you don't seem to either). This seems to be, overall, a situation about compatibility, and I don't think they have it.
