roscoe, in What’s your favorite fantasy universe and why?

Malazan.

Most books, including the ten book series, are by Steven Erickson. There are several other books by Ian C. Esselmont. Read them in publication order regardless of author.

Do videogames count as well? If so, then Hyrule - specifically the one from Breath of the Wild. There is something incredibly tranquil and peaceful about that world … I could get lost in there for days.

Otherwise, I am Team Discworld. GNU Terry Pratchett.

hakunawazo,

What’s peaceful about a place where somebody invades your home and smash all your pots for rupees? ;)

@justlookingfordragon@lemmy.world avatar

Easy solution: don’t own any pots =P

Or raise some chickens. No green-clothed, sword-swinging little weirdo would dare mess with chickens. (at least not more than once)

Drake.

Wanker.

someguy3, (edited ) in What's a great podcast you'd like to share?

Farheed Zakaria - Global Public Square.

Great political and events analysis.

Pivot

Tech news and analysis, but they cover many different things.

Freakonomics Radio

Freakonomics things. Really well done.

99% invisible

The hidden side of everything. Gosh darn if it the title may seem boring but he covers it extremely well and I’ve never regretted listening to an episode.

LemmyKnowsBest, (edited ) in What song you got on repeat right now?

Lenny Kravitz Are You Gonna Go My Way.

Edit: I thought you meant what song we have in our heads playing over and over again.

We only LOOK Thin For anyone that needs inspiration to start eating better as part of a path to a more healthy lifestyle. They’ve helped keep me on track after having lost 80 lbs. www.weonlylookthin.com

Quick Question with Daniel and Soren Two ex-Cracked.com writers shoot the breeze on random questions. www.youtube.com/ (There’s an audio version out there too)

How Did This Get Made Three mostly comedic actors rip apart famously bad movies. Funnier than it has any right to be. Paul also has another podcast called Unspooled where they break down critically acclaimed movies as well. Both are great listens. hdtgm.com/index/

Highly recommend the Space Jam episode.

lucullus, in Was stalking your EX boyfriend normalized during the last decade?

What the hell are you talking about?

Toes, in What made up board/card game would be hard to sell to the public either by name or by concept?

Monopoly, except you start the game with the bank owning everything

somePotato,

Real life the board game©

Actually just the Landlord’s Game that the Parker Brothers turned into Monopoly.

KpntAutismus,

Monopoly, except you live paycheck to paycheck. the game continues until everyone is either homeless, insolvent, died of old age or has comitted suicide.

Toes,

Haha exactly

otter,

Isn’t that how the game works? You buy everything from the bank, but at least the bank doesn’t take advantage of that monopoly

Abortion Wars TCG

davidgro,

According to my mom, “Garbage Pail Kids” was this (besides the ‘game’ part of TCG)

tacosanonymous,

I’ve never thought of it that way but it fits.

Tomzomodest, in What's a great podcast you'd like to share?

Please Stop TalkingA bunch of youtubers (SirMeowMusic, Noodle, Mandalore Gaming, Brendaniel, etc) get together and tell hilarious stories. There has yet to be an episode I’ve listened to where I didn’t leave laughing. They even do other types of shows beyond PST. They talk about watching horror movies (and also Bob’s Burgers) in Pondering Spooky Tapes, they just aired a pilot for a new gaming podcast called Press Turbo Start, and they’re about to start up a new DnD campaign in Perilous Storytelling.

I highly recommend this podcast. They’re so funny. www.youtube.com/…/featured

Confetticini

Includes 2 reams of copy paper, 2 tiny shears and 2 sifters. First team to complete their ream after checking it will fit through the sifter wins phase 1. After which you get to open the secret packet which contains rolls of tape to put them back together and the pieces must fit inside the original copy paper box.

Pedophilia Trivia - A card game where you guess as closely to correct as possible. Question types would include, ‘As of 2023, where was the biggest pedophile ring ever found?’ ‘How many Catholic clergy members have been convicted of crimes to date? (2023)’ ‘What US state has had the most reported pedophiles from 2010 to 2020?’ ‘How much money has the Mormon church paid out to victims of sexual abuse by appointed leaders of the church, to keep them quiet?’ ‘How many cases have there been of drag queens sexually abusing kids?’

tacosanonymous,

This is just an ultra specific version of trivial pursuit.

Never Have I Ever: Civic Duty edition

Never have, I ever littered.

Never have I ever voted for someone without researching them

Never have I ever stayed home and not voted. Because I just didn’t feel like it.

Never have I ever Shopped at a store that I knew was using unethical business practices because it was cheaper.

I’d play that

Would imagine most would go blind

ace_garp, in What’s your favorite fantasy universe and why?

Flash Gordon universe.

Particularly from the 1980 space-opera of the same name Flash Gordon. This is a fun movie.

Kal-toh.

The concept would make it hard to sell since it’s never explained how the game actually works and is also extremely difficult.
