Not trying to diminish the work this guy has put into his product, but just a reminder that the Guiness Book of World Records is a paid service. They don’t go out searching the world for any of these records, they wait for people with disposable income to come to them, demand a large consulting/processing fee, THEN they go in the book and get their plaque

So the vampire bit is used in both, in book 1 the main character journeys with one and at the end of the story starts to think Earth has been taken over by vampires due to radio transmissions he’s receiving on his long voyage back home. Book 2 begins with a prologue of a group of vampires breaking out of their holding cells, reversing the Crucifix Glitch on their captors, and then their leader eventually groups up with the main character (as well as the dad of book 1’s MC) and they all journey to the Sun (or rather, a station orbiting the sun). The second book also has that group/cult of people who are trying to make a gestalt consciousness, the Bicamurals I think they’re called.
Like ai told another commenter, I don’t like it as much as Blindsight, but I still think Echopraxia is really good, they just focus on wildly different topics.

Now what did you think of Echopraxia?

I won’t spoil shit, but you be sure to have fun with the rest of the book! It’s uh… well it stuck with me for a while. Also be sure to give his other book in the series, Echopraxia, a look as well. In my opinion it wasn’t quite as good but that’s like comparing a 9 to an 8.9, they’re both incredible

Anyone who’s even slightly interested in the idea of a Chinese Room (or just good sci-fi), PLEEEASE go out and read Blindsight by Peter Watts. Not only is it a phenomenal deep-dive into what consciousness even is, but it’s got dozens of fantastic ideas in it that could make for compelling stories on their own. Also, scientifically-plausible space-vampires. That is all

This is different, yes (it’s another gacha game but with horse racing except the horses are anime girls). But the Venn Diagram between the two different breeds of “horse girls” is looking more and more like a circle with each passing day

This would work better if they used Fernando Mendoza rather than Sam Darnold imo. Darnold never struck me as the religious type but Mendoza supposedly goes to Mass several times a week. Plus he actually got a rushing TD, just saying

Jokes aside, I’m sure there is SOME method for how they name what they find; I highly doubt they just use a random number generator. Does anyone here know what that process is?
