I'll have to check them out later. Their website doesn't like my vpn. But excluding all the superhero stuff, theres some titles listed in their wiki that I'd be interested to check out.

I really enjoyed Ray Porter narrating the Bobiverse series and am looking forward to the new book and audiobook release.
Currently listening to and really liking William Dufris narrating the Old Man's War series.
Of a similar vein but not exactly audiobooks, I really like the old BBC radio dramas where they have a full voice acting cast doing things like Sherlock Holmes and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Audiobooks are good for doing yard work and for the books that I want to check out but find to be a bit of a slog. There are also some great narrators who really bring something extra to the story.
e-books for the last 10 years or so. Some books can be large and/or thick and are a hassle to cart around. My e-reader is slim and lightweight - very easy to take with me when I'm out and about. Also like being able to tap a word and have a definition popup. E-books are also cheaper and have great sales regularly.
Never liked jacketed books, they are silly things.
It is but the FOSS community and projects like the Fediverse and increasing decentralization will go a long way to countering monetisation and the capitalist mindset
ROCK and STONE!!!
Former reddit lurker here too. Looking forward to participating more in the fediverse
2nding this. Posts in Hot haven't moved since I started using lemmy this morning.
I can see this being a possibility but I don't think that GUPPI would readily reveal itself as sentient. The Bobs often comment on their suspicions of GUPPI but it is curt and doesn't volunteer information unless specifically asked.
I can see it becoming a "man-behind-the-curtain"-type puppet master, possibly hi-jacking Bobs for its own end. Maybe building its own fishoid-manny race.
As long as its different from Heavens River, I'll be happy. Too much focus on the Quinlins and adventures inside the topopolis.
