I would say higher quality content in that the comments are pertinent and not just jokes. Sometimes I'd spend a couple of minutes reading nonsense on Reddit before realizing, then I'd try to scroll way down for a fresh comment thread, then just give up on the post
I agree with everything you said about Priory, and would add that the sex scenes were maybe the most badly written to the point it was painful. I almost never give up on a book even when I should, but I had to leave this one unfinished. And I've finally stopped seeing the cover of the second one and thinking ooh what's this? Before I realize it's nothing I want to read. I liked How to Lose the Time War pretty well and will check out your other recommendations!
For me, I'd have a hard time eating whole bugs because it's all shell and little meat, and I imagine the texture to be off-putting. Also, I've kept crickets and they're so stinky.
I miss seeing Slayer and Lamb of God every year
