The good place?
Yes! Go in cold - no spoilers
This is really the best answer. Similar vibes, a little less terf islander twee, a little more american twee, and other than that;
Good omens:the good place as the Simpsons:futurama
Lifehack : Pick a HUGE field like math or computer science.
Hyperfixate on number theory for one month then algebra for month then calculus for one month then trigonometry for one month and so on.
Also people will praise you for studying so much after 2 years.
Wait you can choose what you hyperfixate on?
You can influence yourself, or nudge yourself.
I know, I was trying to be funny… mostly. (it is actually extremely difficult to control what you fixate on though)
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke: Stunningly gorgeous, dense fantasy novel. The BBC miniseries was also well done.
The Gray House by Mariam Petrosyan: Immersive, beautiful, novel that feels like a strange dream you don’t necessarily want to wake up from.
The Murderbot Diaries.
Warhammer has more lore than a single person can absorb but somehow I don’t think that’s your style lol
Have you read any of Terry Pratchett’s other books? They’re fantastic.
The Emperor protects.
Sliders?
Did that ever finish? All I remember as kid was cliff hanger.
Can’t remember how the last couple seasons went but it got strange
American Gods, The Magicians, West World, Sandman, The Good Place.
You should consider Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Book series:
Ender’s Game (the movie for the first book sucked, don’t watch lol, or if you do, plz don’t judge the book by it at all)
Eragon
The Wheel of Time
Hey thanks for mentioning ender’s game! I rewatched the movie a while ago, and yeah still a bit doo doo, but left me curious about the books.
Just try Star Trek.
Did you just recommend Star Trek to someone named Stamets?
it was fairly on the nose and I thought everyone will have a laugh about it. I was wrong
I think we on Lemmy are just bad at sarcasm lol
We are.
meanwhile on reddit the very same premise leads to Epstein files or something.
Oh you poor sweet innocent summer child… Star Trek is 90% of my personality
But have you tried looking into the sci fi or fantasy genres?
I just found out recently about the real Paul Stamets. Cool work dude did. Had no idea he was a real person when I started watching Discovery
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Stamets?wprov=sfla1
Also since I’ve seen many of your posts around here, I’ve been hoping you are the real Paul Stamets since I learned of him/you
Alas no. Not that sexy at all

Mrs. Davis -show about a nun who fights an AI with lots of fun twists!
Stuff You Should You Know - podcast absolutely love those guys
Pushing up daisies - a great show that as especially unique flair to it that I’ve been trying to find since
Halt and Catch Fire -a great show about the rise of computers and hacking all sort of fictional but based in reality very fun first season kinda got serious later on but throughly enjoyed it
And now it’s bedtime as I can’t remember anything atm my adderall has run out 🫡
Sandman
Hazbin Hotel.
Already watched that?
Helluva Boss
Done with that, too?
Project Goldfish
Could you tell me more about project goldfish?
Read the Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephens. Maybe start with Cryptonomicon.
*Stephenson
Took me three tries to get through Quicksilver but then I couldn’t stop. Worth it.
That’s why I think going with Crypto is a good call. It sets baseline expectations well and is very relatable. From there the world only expand.
