Oh wow OK you win the thread! Those magazines are wonderful, what fun items to have in your collection.

I think it can sometimes be difficult to consume media from periods where the common belief systems were just so antithetical to today's way of thinking (especially older pulp) but it sounds like you have a fair way of handing the dated ideologies 😊

Awesome, thanks! It will also give him an excuse to re watch the movies haha.

Oh I love good world building and it certainly sounds like these books cover that! I have to admit though when I first started reading your comment I did a double take because my mind went immediately to Steve Perry of Journey - would be pretty impressive if he had moonlit as an author during his touring days!

Is Prey the one with the nanobots?

Yes that's correct! It left quite an impression on me and I am low key weary of the idea of nanobots to this day.

Thank you for these suggestions! I've heard of these authors but not actually read any of their work. They may be good to keep in mind the next time I hit a reading block, because techno thrillers just work for me.

Another member of the "this may be inappropriate for my age" club - nice! I'd agree, I think Palahniuk definitely falls into this category.

Very nice! I see he wrote the Jason Bourne novels. My partner is a total ham for those types of books, do you have any specific recommendations or is the Bourne series perhaps the best way to go for Ludlum?

I had a feeling what I was walking into with this question.. Can't say i expected the draw it's turned into though!

Jackdaw is great! I am a (relatively) late joiner to the DA fandom (introduced through DAI, Mass Effect is my great love) and I was obsessed in my first playthrough. In my most recent replay, yeah, some of it's sparkle has definitely faded. It's funny because I remember hating DAO gameplay when I first tried it but the style has grown on me a lot - I also have been habitually trying to pause BG3 so I feel your pain!

Well now I've been sent down a rabbit hole on borrowed words in English and am very upset that dΓ©cor has been made so boring.

I'm my unqualified opinion, two for sure. How do you even say it otherwise? Caff?

[–] Higlerfay 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Best answer yet, esp since I imagine you have plenty of fun colloquialisms with an Aussie partner!

Good shout, wouldn't want to embarrass myself when I make my way out there after the new museum opens.
