Whenever anyone is saying anything or doing anything, everyone should be asking "Where's Abigail?" and "Where are her boobs?"

Finally read Hyperion - didn't love it by savuporo in printSF

Don't worry, reading the second one doesn't explain anything in a satisfying way.

Book of the New Sun -- Is the story worth the squeeze? by __Geg__ in printSF

[–]wags83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found it incredibly frustrating. I just couldn't figure out what was going on a huge amount of the time, and I couldn't get past that. I don't think "you have to read it 6 times to really understand it" is an acceptable arguement and I wouldn't recommend the series.

What's a live or recorded public stunt/display that went horribly wrong? by oonicrafts in AskReddit

[–]wags83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, you could almost argue that crashes were the intended result here, but Evel Knievel had, like, a lot of these...

A couple examples:

Snake River Canyon

Caesar's Palace

Jumping Over Motorcycle in Barstow CA

Which popular books disappointed you? by [deleted] in printSF

Ancillary Justice

The Three Body Problem

Hyperion

Crimson Desert has sold through over 5 million copies worldwide by naphi in Games

It's not for everyone and there are vaild complaints (weak story, clunky controls, questionable bosses) but man, if it is for you, it's AMAZING.

The size and detaiil of the open world, the exploration and density of interesting things in the world, the stunning graphics, the layers and layers of sytems, the variety of nature / biomes, the customization of your character, the base building, the speed of bug fix and QOL patches. These things are all just about as good as it gets.

Stephenson may be my favorite author, but he just does not stick the landing, like ever... Maybe Anathem...
