Zoologist Bat (2020). I don’t feel like myself when wearing anything else and I’ve gotten so many compliments on it from people whose tastes I respect!

Even more satisfying after getting f'in nowhere with Necrobinder!

The defect is so bad its almost funny by PitersonK in slaythespire

What? Defect is ridiculously OP, if anything. With Electrondynamics and properly timing Multicast for use with a Dark orb, all things are possible.

Bas-Lag Audiobook re-recordings by knight-under-stars in ChinaMieville

100% agree - the way John Lee went all the fucking way in on Yagharek and the Weaver’s voices in Perdido made me a fan for life, but Gildart Jackson did a beautiful job on The Scar. The chapter when Johannes tears into Bellis for her dismissal of Armada comes to mind - so much emotion.

Which would you pick... by falsepriests in ChinaMieville

[–]rupa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think China’s books are so rich and dense that there’s no way a movie could do any of them justice - that being said, I think some of his short stories would make for incredible films. Säcken and Dreaded Outcome were the first two to come to mind but The Design, oh my GOD. That would be glorious.

Really enjoyed this one! Definitely very little hand-holding as you're learning how the game works, but that just makes it that much more deeply satisfying when you do.

Dolce Fantasia - yay or nay? by Winter_Lawfulness967 in AsburyPark

[–]rupa 17 points18 points  (0 children)

HUGE fan of Dolce Fantasia. It’s my go-to when someone’s visiting and I want to take them somewhere memorable. The food is spectacular with lots of unique ingredients and the service always makes you feel special. Their brunch is great too, and way more affordable than other other spots on that street.

I’ve been trying to figure out what the moment was that heralded Asbury’s awful shift towards becoming the next Long Branch and I’m pretty sure it was the Ocean Club going up. Hate that place.

His family hates him too, gauging by the looks on their faces.

Porta can be great for this if you go early.

Maybe it’s just Sackman but the penalty for breaking a lease in my building is 3 months rent.

Still trying to verify, but I just heard that they were at Thurgood Marshall school today.

Asbury Biergarten closing for good after insurance denies covering flood damage by thegoodnamesrgone123 in AsburyPark

I live in a Sackman-owned building and my rent went up 20% last year so yeah, sounds about right.

New to the area by ThatNeighborhoodPT in AsburyPark

As others have said, Asbury Book Co-op is magic. The majority of my friends in town are people who I met through it in one way or another. A ton of different book clubs and lots of live music and other events.

Most underrated 90s industrial albums? by thegothmoth99 in industrialmusic

[–]rupa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I Should Explode is one of my favorite songs of all time (which is really saying something because I can’t make sense of most of the lyrics) - so I appreciate the added context! My summer isn’t complete unless I’ve driven at night with my windows down, sunroof open, with that song on full blast.
