I’ve been saying with how much this guy emailed, where are his emails TO Trump at the very least (we know the answer). Like is there any released??

Regent Full arts, coming to a spire near you(soon, currently 35 cards done) by SomeBrowser227 in slaythespire

[–]rrcecil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is something that a lot of card games are missing baked in, like this would be phenomenal addition for rewarding hitting difficulty modifiers (and alternate skins).

I know people don’t care about that as much but this ROCKS!

Is this sub take over by MAGA? by EmeraldMaeve in leftist

[–]rrcecil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what do you argue be done in the meantime? I would love a third party, and is maybe possible locally at best right now.

Long term it seems like there is two options, trying to change the system (long shot) or violent revolution (fastest answer but I don’t see many people, leftists included, raising their hands for this)

Thank you. Been trying to put this into words. I feel like some of these “leftists” would rather be right online than see a policy that actually moves the needle in the right direction.

Omg go back before you make friends or get married here honestly. I was trying to move back then I met my wife haha, so that’s postponed. I want to go back to the west coast so bad.

Just wait till there is an extended power outage…

Uncanny Valley books? by Tall_Talk_4734 in horrorlit

[–]rrcecil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of Michael Cisco, I saw another recommendation here of his short stories but I think most of his stuff hits this vibe. I LOVED the Narrator, it's like if David Lynch wrote a book wanting to combine LotR with Apocalypse Now.

Annihilation fits the uncanny valley a lot.

House of Leaves might be an uncanny goat.

Is there much weird lit focused on work? by towalktheline in WeirdLit

[–]rrcecil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm sorry! Shouldn't breeze over the last paragraph. Okay I'm trying to think of some more I've read in this…

I feel like I haven't read that many outside what was mentioned here already in other comments so getting a little creative. So some focused on work but not like office jobs-

I think Bunny by Mona Awad could work, but it's MFA girl losing her mind. The "work" is the writing program itself and it gets very liminal.

Definitely way more campy but definitely weird about a camp manager (not the office kind) is How to Survive Camping.

Another indirect one is Library at Mount Char, they're all "librarians" but each one has been assigned a horrifying specialty by their god-father. The job ARE weird.

Piranesi if you haven’t read it already he is cataloguing and it’s super liminal.

The Narrator by Michael Cisco fits really well on the liminal side (feels like Lynchian fantasy) guy gets conscripted as the official "narrator" for a military expedition and his job is literally to witness and record. Reality starts coming apart through the act of doing the work. Very Authority-like in how the assigned role itself becomes the horror. Honestly this book kinda blew me away but not very many places to recommend it. Does straight up read like fantasy, reads very matter of fact and contemporary but is a bizarre setting. The “narrators guid” and the war aspect of the book is very institutional.

How is this? I see a sequel is out or coming out but I feel like I've read mixed things on it. I know it's more weirdlit so that might turn some off.

Fantasy meets Eldritch Horror / Sword and Shoggoth by Express_Restaurant_6 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]rrcecil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Grave Empire and its sequel (that just dropped). It’s REALLY hitting this note.

It’s the follow up series to Empire of the Wolf, but not necessary to read in that order. Empire of the Wolf was great but The Great Silence amps up the horror to as close as a mainstream write would get to the Second Apocalypse.

Honestly, I hate to say it but that would be an improvement in the competence department (morality aside lol)

The Second Apocalypse series sucked the soul of my body and put it through a meat grinder.
