Gamers may have begun to shy away from the now more expensive PS5. U.S. April data highlights a 30% decline in PlayStation console sales compared to the previous year. Before the impending Switch 2 price increase, Nintendo’s handheld extended its lead over the competition.
It’s a reference to the Dungeon Crawler Carl series of books. If you haven’t read them, I can’t recommend them enough. The audiobooks are also incredibly well done.
The books are crap. They’ve got DOGS in them!
That’s true, but they also have Grand Champion, Breed Winner Regional, National Winner Princess Donut the Queen Anne Chonk.
Hi Zev!
Goddammit Donut!
They are absolute garbage.
If you thought Ready Player One was good and you like reading self-published internet fanfic, though, knock yourself out.
Weird flex
I mean… if you think “the walls were covered in a weird glowing moss, giving the an area an strange glow,” is writing worth your time, go nuts.
In the first 50 pages the protagonist has a “boss fight” with a mentally ill woman of color, against her will, and murders her. I thought maybe the author was setting up some BIG THEMES but nah, just video game lulz. If the book actually had anything to SAY about human vulnerability transformed into spectacle, I could maybe respect it, but the author simply doesn’t have the chops or the courage to really examine that in any sincere or meaningful way.
I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy them. I don’t feel like there is much similarity between DCC and Ready Player One personally. I didn’t care for the protagonist in Ready Player One, and the whole story revolved around pop culture references. DCC has likable main characters in my opinion, and any pop culture references are very few and far between and have no impact on the story.
