Struggling to think of a good example. Feels like a trope you see a lot in cozy fantasy where a powerful character has to adjust to a low stakes life. Maybe Curse of Chalion? It's not a perfect fit but explores aspects of this idea.
I read The Bone Harp last year, and it left a big impression. A bit daunted by how massive The Hands Of The Emperor is but Bone Harp was so good I'll definitely get to it eventually.
Depends really. I can't commit to something that'll impact what little community we have over there without running it by the members first. I'm not clued in on this place and I'm not experienced with migrating. Would ml users still have access?
I didn't think I was much of a fan but then I checked the page to find apparently Morrowind and Pan's Labyrinth (still need to get round to Disco Elysium) count for New Weird. Two of my favourite things.
As for books, I got halfway through City of Saints and Madmen a few years back and I was enjoying it but the pace of the painter story really made me lose interest. Still planning to go back and finish it someday.
I loved the first two so much it pushed me all the way through the whole series but I look back now and wish I'd stopped at the short collections. Think I just needed to get to the ending, which I did enjoy tbf. Glad you're enjoying!
I started strong but I've been a bit slow recently. Read the first Wandering Inn book and it took a while. Dunno if I'll keep going with that series, wasn't quite my thing, but I did enjoy parts of it.
My favourite book released this year up to now would be The Tomb of Dragons by Katherine Addison, and my favourite that wasn't released this year is probably Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb or The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K Le Guin.
I think Malazan is pretty spectacular
He's mine too! If only Brian Blessed wasn't nearly 90
Very cool work. What was he Lord of? Man I miss dnd, I didn't get to play it nearly enough to really feed my addiction before both my groups imploded.

Yeah I dunno, maybe due to how trippy the plot can get, but even then it's a stretch.

Temeraire is one I need to go back to at some point. I got about 3/4s through the first book but never finished, can't even remember why anymore.

Read the first DCC recently! Absolutely breezed through it, such a fun book. Definitely doing the next one soon.

Came here for this one, I was so skeptical at first but damn it's good
I love spotting your new accounts, it's like lemmy pokemon
I hate rocket, would sub for cress or lamb's lettuce, but otherwise this looks delicious and I think I'll be giving it a try. Great job!
Looks like Sparnies is the shop name (it's based in a place called Leamington Spa). No sign of chips sadly.
Sarnie is indeed slang for a butty
Sounds great, and now I know what sausage gravy is I will be trying it myself, thanks!
