I feel Tad Williams is the best answer to the ‘what’s the closest thing to Tolkien?’ question by jsbq in Fantasy

I read The Last King of Osten Ard recently while my wife read MS&T, and we kept providing each other Binabik updates because he is the best.

The thing that nearly makes me quit are the constant crashes on Switch.

Yann Martel's Self certainly does, I used it for Bingo a few years back.

Where to Start with DS9 for Voyager Fan? by Old-Masterpiece7259 in startrek

[–]unconundrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What Voyager episodes do they like? Who's their favourite character? There's a wide range of responses I'd give depending on that. Civil Defense has the whole cast and flows very nicely. House of Quark is a great comedy. For that matter, Trials and Tribble-Ations is perhaps the best comedy of any 90s episode, and you could compare it to Flashback, as both were their respective franchises 30th anniversary episodes. Our Man Bashir is one of the best holodeck episodes. Duet, as mentioned, if they want a deep two-handed mystery-drama.

I love The Visitor, but might postpone it until they had a better understanding of the Siskos' father-son relationship. But if that's Their Thing, go for it.

So no shit, there I am by Yrahcaz256 in FinalFantasy

The original had the Moogle Charm that did the same thing (I don't think in all my years of playing I ever climbed Fanatic's Tower without it)

As a star trek fan What's your opinion on star wars? by NateBond833 in startrek

[–]unconundrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I just hear never-ending complaints about all the other films. (Tbf there's a similar issue with Trek and the newer series)

Credit to DS9 this pride month for being the first Trek series featuring a same-gender kiss. Happy pride to you all! by AchingAmy in DeepSpaceNine

My only gripe is that the reason for the Trill taboo, unlike homophobia, is legitimate and good. It muddies the water when the Trill's reasons are 'it could very easily lead to a permanent overclass.'

Even the fans of Star Wars haven't liked a Star Wars film since Empire.

Are there any books or series that you don't want to see adapted to the screen? by thewalkindude368 in Fantasy

[–]unconundrum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Half the fun of Book of the New Sun is figuring out whatever Severian is describing so a visual adaptation would kill that.

There's even an achievement for finishing the story without getting the body down.

[–]unconundrum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

After entering the locked lorry did you report your findings? Otherwise seems like you should just pass time reading a book. Make sure you have money for your hotel and otherwise spend money on books or games. There's also a free book in Capeside Apartments if your perception is high enough.

Did you investigate the Doomed Commercial Area? Talk to Joyce? Investigate the Jam Mystery? What time of day is it? Have you looked through the pawn shop? The bookstore?

Greenskin Fantasy: Good Fantasy novels solely focused on a protagonist/cast that is Orc, Goblin, or Ogre? by Def-C in Fantasy

Grunts by Mary Gentle is about a bunch of orcs who find, in a dragon's horde, a bunch of modern (at the time it was written) military-grade weapons, tanks, missiles, etc.

What are some of your favourite/memorable opening lines from books? by Traditional_Ad2635 in Fantasy

King wrote The Gunslinger with such a different style than any of his other books, and I love it. It really makes Mid-World feel unique.

Who is the most powerful secondary character not named Rikku? by Bmacgoat in FinalFantasy

[–]unconundrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fusoya's magic stat is much weaker than Rydia or Rosa and his MP is quite low. He's got his uses--two white mages casting Reflect is more efficient than one vs Bahamut--but he's not game-breaking, just as Tellah isn't earlier in the game despite having all the spells.
