literally beyond the ice wall

This is literally Tolkien vs Rowling

0:33 Being good at playing dwarf fortress be like:

Man has exquisite taste

The 3rd type is kikis delivery service

I've literally done so much research on that second one

People are so easily manipulated into trends.

And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. - Jeremiah 29:13 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. -John 3:16 Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out. - Acts 3:19 If you’re in North America, please go check out any of the churches available to you: PCA, OPC, Rpcna, Urcna, or a canrc church. (These are conservative and actual Reformed/Presbyterian churches) If you’re Scottish, I recommend the Free Church of Scotland and the APC (Different from the Church of Scotland) If you’re English I recommend the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in England & Wales and the Free Church of England. (Different from the Church of England) Also online you can look up church finders for each of the groups, it will show you locations And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. - Hebrews 10:24-25

If the mass spec fits life must exist.

This book 📕 is too long 😂

No way he just casually referenced one of the largest linguistic debates of all time in a fantasy author comedy bit

I’m 50 years old - I read it in real time as it was published. That’s a 23 year investment - and at the time he died no one knew if there would ever be an ending.

Great book, read Dispossessed

I absolutely loved this show and rewatched it probably 5 times

The fact that I understood half of that question worries me

When you want the TV Tropes of something you've watched, but it's a series

That's me 😂 2:30

the second one would make a banger anime ngl

6:33 I hate to be that guy but Lord of the Rings wasn't written for children. The Hobbit was. Not LoTR. Anyway he was creating a fake mythology for the Angle-Saxon because their pre-christian mythology was completely lost to time. That's it.

Oh my gosh, this is ridiculous! And the names!

ahh I see american "historians"...

Someone gotta right something about that 😭

Trench crusade be like

Yes, it sucked. The "writers" were more worried about expressing girl-power and diversity than honoring the story and viewers. It was pandering that got in the way of an already complex story. Not to mention they injected all kinds of vulgarity that just did not belong. I had to grind my teeth through the first two episodes, and could barely make it past the third.

‘Dude they just discovered aliens!’ ‘I thought that was last week’

I mean that wheel of time poster should have been a warning about the quality of the adaptation 😅

Finally, another American who is acquainted with the works of Greg Egan (personal favorite author)! And judging by your accent, you're a fellow Marylander? May I also recommend the works of Alastair Reynolds, I especially enjoyed his novel, 'Pushing Ice'. He and Egan seem to be the only writers who incorporate femtotechnology in their stories. Great Galaxy bless you!

The series is full of bizarre and irrational story threads that really make absolutely no sense at all. Well made, well acted, well produced, very entertaining, but very very silly.

As an actual astrobiology researcher looking for aliens I can confirm that many of us are sci-fi nerds that love world building. A++ video 👍

Idk fam. At this point, reality is stranger than fiction. I still believe David Grusch.

The world Miyazaki would make if his team let him lock tf in.

Bro just described season 4 of Attack on Titan with that second type of worldbuilding

i just admit i prefer science fantasy

A 50 min video is not "extreme" in depth review of a series. Its a review.

Fuck, i desperately want second one to be a real fiction i can read.

It’s called toe born because they give birth out of their toes. Their feet swell up reaaal big and then they start leaking and then the give birth. And baby’s don’t exist. They’re born fully grown and naked. And that is the most disgusting comment I’ve ever written

I heard about this a month ago. I could find a link if people want, but just dig a little. This is not news.

You should check out the Red Rising books. I just learned about them.

Amazon asking "who reads books" is just...

Legitimately the funniest thing I've seen this month. Kudos.

sci-fi-fantasy-mishmash worldbuilders keep winning

This is just like in the 50s when they got the first good photos of Mars and people started burning copies of _The War of the Worlds._

I think theres also a third type and that is whatever that crackhead WhatIfAltHistory does 😂

the easy unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity was really the cherry on top

reads like an onion article in the best way possible

Any book recommendations for type 2? Alt hist fantasy sounds amazing

Thank goodness you came back from hiatus

Upon hearing the word "sophonts" spoken for the first time outside my immediate friend group I can't help but wonder if you got it from the same extremely weird and specific kink scifi writing community I'm a member and author of or from some other, more normal source I don't spend my every waking hour thinking about

BREAKING: All of Alien Science-Fiction officially becomes Xenophobic

This is exactly how I feel. 😂
