    I just finished a player of games a few months ago! Someone suggested the series to me here on lemmy (perhaps you? Lol. I never take note of screen names when I should), and I read Phlebas and APoG before I got distracted. It's so good. Like ridiculously good. Phlebas wasn't quite my speed, not bad by any stretch, I just found myself wishing for more of what there was little of and less of what there was much of, but APoG was fantastic and exactly what I was looking for!

    from a topological perspective, it’s pretty uncontroversial to say that the earth is indeed a hotdog.

    Sir Bedevere:
    ...and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped.

    King Arthur:
    This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.

    Wouldn't that be just a sausage? A hot dog also has bread.

    I believe you're thinking of a hotdog bun. Different thing.

    They're a natural pairing and often found together, like when we say "would you like an ice-cream?" The ice cream cone is implied.
