  • I'm usually a SF guy but the most memorable read these past ~2 years was the fantasy books The First Law by Joe Abercrombie. The first book hooked me in and I ended up devouring all 9 books. The audiobook version read by Steven Pacey was superb, that man really breathed life into the characters and I'm glad I listened rather than read them.

    I recall wanting to read more dark fantasy after and tried listening to Stormlight Archives on recommendation from a friend but the readers and writing was so bad in comparison I gave up after 2 hours.

  • In Swedish 'skit' (=shit) is a prefix added as emphasis to a lot of descriptions, can get pretty funny some times. For example 'skitbra' = shit good, 'skitdåligt' = shit bad, 'skitlite' = shit little, 'skitmycket' = shit a lot.

  • I recommend a fantastic niche subreddit r/printSF to you as well. I've found many great books there and enjoy the discussion too. Sorry for reddit but that community isn't nearly as active here, although it definitely has the potential to be since I always see enthusiastic discussion about SF books from Lemmyngs whenever they're brought up.

  • I pirated this to check it out and enjoyed it so much that I bought it even though it's in Early Access and that's very very rare for me. I still haven't played it more though as I'm still waiting for it to come out of EA, looking very much forward to play it again.

  • Agreed. I never even had Instagram or twitter but I've become a pixelfed and mastodon lurker after enjoying Lemmy for 1+ years. The comment section here is miles ahead of reddit, where you get repost after repost and the same old tired jokes in every comment section.
    The fediverse is fantastic and I'm happy to be a (very minor) part of it.
