Are you usually the insurgent?

Yeah, Futurama is awesome, although feels a bit overwhelming sometimes

Does it deserve it? I haven’t watched it and tbh kind of afraid to touch

I remember watching it back in the days. Some of the “parts” were a bit too weird (especially the animation) for my taste, but yeah, I enjoyed it overall.

Thanks for the recommendation, haven’t read it!

Still on my to-watch list

Haven’t watched it, will check out

Project Hail Mary definitely has a comfortably buddy feel to it

I can see that. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie felt really comfy. I read the book, but it did not draw me in, for some reason. Any particular novel you like, other than obviously The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy?

Reminds me of “Children of Time” by Adrian Tchaikovsky that I am reading now

Their relationship was probably one of the most grounded elements in the story.

I wish the OP added “Justin-27” and “TheJosh” to the picture

It’s certainly heading in that direction

Ah, I am being thick) thanks!

A little late for the discussion, but wanted to share my thoughts anyway.

I also picked up the book after seeing it on the same list =) Actually, the first time I thought about it was when the movie came out. I was super excited about it (Alex Garland!) but it somehow did not click with me. And then I read the book synopsis and decided to pass. Then this list came up and I finally decided to give it a try. And like many others here, I did not find it all that appealing. I guess it is original and, tbh, I finished it very quickly, intrigued by what would happen next. I liked the mystery of it but not the weirdness. Sometimes it feels like the story is grounded in reality. But sometimes it feels surreal. I can see a parallel with Kafka.

I am curious though if anyone found some hidden meanings and clues one might miss on the first reading. It does feel like the author hid a few things here and there behind words.

One thing I did like and could relate to, was the protagonist, the biologist. She explains how she often got “carried away,” worked on something she personally enjoyed instead of on things that would bring her money. It tells a cautionary tale. The biologist did not end up well. And she was a mess.

Not sure if I would have finished it had it been longer. Definitely not looking forward to the rest of the trilogy.

I like this guy)

Elaborate!

Given the criticism of Fandom, why not use a Piped link instead of YT? It’s like criticizing YT on YT.

Unfortunately this kills off all the hobbies, not just gaming. And your free time(

Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Such an epic soundtrack. Listened to it countless times. Micheal McCann did an amazing job.
