That’s the book I start leafing through when my D&D players screw around for too long, they know something bad is about to happen.
It’s such a cool book, I love the silver edges on the pages. Not a huge fan of the stories themselves, sadly. Someday I hope they’ll click with me.
On today’s episode of Trump quote or Markov Chain Text…
I’m listening to The Wise Man’s Fear, and my rule is I can only listen while jogging (training for an event in about 5 weeks). It’s working, I’m getting a good 40-50 minutes a day out of it and the workouts are much more tolerable.
I finally managed to get into Breath of the Wild the other night after getting it on launch day and never enjoying it. I played 9 hours solid, then had to go to work for a few days, so I’m looking forward to going home more than usual.
Other than that, there’s the seemingly endless hunt for my last 3 Monster Hunter World achievements (only ~480 hours in, so I’m doing ok). Also, I’ve finally got around to trying Suicide Squad, and I kinda dig it so far. Just gotta clear my plate a bit for the PC release of FF16 in a few weeks, but I can almost guarantee I’ll be too stuck into either Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom to play it.
Exactly. I’m there to lose myself in the crowd and to feel the music. Being right up near the amps makes me feel alive. Every bass drum beat feels like it’s kicking you in the chest, every time the pyros go off you feel the heat on your face, mosh pits open up spontaneously around you, it’s some of the most fun I’ve ever had. If I just want to listen to the band I’ll stay home and put an album on, save myself a hundred bucks.
She’s an anti-hero more often than not now, fighting villains bigger than her. From the New 52 when she started going solo and turned on Joker (or he turned on her really), to Injustice where she was a major player in the resistance, to the DCEU where she turned against ARGUS to stop Starro which wasn’t even her mission. Even in the Suicide Squad game which is part of the Arkham universe and doesn’t include any kind of redemption arc for her she’s still only killing the Justice League when they’re being controlled by Brainiac, who is probably second only to Darkseid as far as villains go. Under duress sure, but she’s doing it.
See also: Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy respectively.
I like the woman in the bottom right with the blue 47 sign. From about 40 seconds she looks like she’s about to start sidling out of frame, but then she wobbles back the other way for a while. It looks like she’s standing on the deck of a boat or something.
I bought a little $15 single-serve rice cooker and left it in the staff room where I work. Nobody else has ever touched it or even knows who it belongs to as far as I know. Beats wasting hours doing bulk meal prep on the weekends or getting takeaway. If it ever disappears it was cheap enough that it doesn’t matter.
I just looked it up because I never played the 2nd game and never cared enough to look into it. I knew people hated her but just assumed she was probably trans or something based on her physique. Not sure whether the real reason is better or worse tbh, it’s pathetic.
“One of a kind”
Thank goodness.
The first one looks like a map of countries where the PM shat himself at the Engadine Maccas
No not that extreme. I don’t want a bed with walls, just slightly upturned edges. More like a big dinner plate than a crib.
I was just talking about something like this with my gf last week. I want a big bed with upturned edges (but still big enough to stretch out fully on the flat part) that I can fill with extra cushions and blankets. The image in my head was a bit nicer than a giant dog bed though…
We’ll end up with a live action The Muppet Movie remake only starring humans.
I’ve started rereading The Way of Kings and The Lies of Locke Lamora in Spanish. LLL is a bit of a struggle even remembering several parts of it word for word but TWoK is much more simply-written, it’s quite encouraging getting through a few sentences at a time without needing to stop to translate something. Still working up the mental energy to start Words of Radiance, it’s been hard to get into anything new lately.
On the other hand, I have a few dozen tvtropes tabs open and, like some kind of hydra, every time I close one I somehow end up with more than I had before. I don’t even care about the outdated fan speculation for Monster Hunter games, but I can’t stop!
There are some weird choices in here. Skimming the list I can see a few things I’ve read that surprise me. Fable by Adrienne Young is just a fairly generic YA fantasy thing for example, I can’t think of anything in that that would bother anyone. Victor & Nora: A Gotham Love Story is a melancholy backstory of a Batman villain, this is insane. I see a Catwoman book in there too, but it’s by Sarah J Maas and everything of hers appears to have been blanket-banned. I’m assuming that was included because Harley and Ivy are in it and they’re probably bi in that universe.
How were these books chosen? Was it just a ctrl+f for words they didn’t like? There are some things missing that I’d have expected to see based on what I read back in high school, but I was more of a public library kid than a school library one because that’s where you could find the good stuff.
Caravan was great back at launch on xbox, the opponents didn’t play properly and you could effortlessly clean out entire inventories of shopkeepers because they’d bet their store earnings. Then I moved to PC and it was a lot less braindead & not worth the effort, it actually knew how to use the face cards.
Definitely, unless that person just has the least responsive skin in the world. A ballpoint pen is going to do more damage than you see there.
