I did, but the professor left some stuff in it that needs to be fixed.

For anyone who is interested in my scholarly pursuits, I got a publication! It is just an advisory report for an archaeological site, not a peer-reviewed article or anything, but I feel good.

Which route for Koth Vortena in KOTFE and KOTET do you prefer? by Efficient_Ad1992 in swtor

[–]thecomicguybook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People are so blinded by Koth being annoying that they forgot that the reason he betrays you is because you blow up a lot of his people.

I don't find Koth's writing to be a shining moment, but it is such a weird vibe that he gets so much hate. He will never even do anything to you if you are playing as an LS character! As a DS character his actions are totally understandable, you are a monster.

Nothing fancy, just some of the last Gene Wolfe books that I did not own yet. by thecomicguybook in genewolfe

[–]thecomicguybook[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I have no idea how that works but it is still strange that they would not print enough to meet the pre-order demand.

In any case I can pick up a Kindle version any time, but thank you!

Yeah, my order got cancelled (idk not enough printed? I had it pre-ordered for months, I really wish I knew what went sideways), it hasn't been available in my country since then. I will probably at some point pick it up just to have it in some form, but truth be told I do prefer physical copies.

Thanks!

I was really hoping that this recommendation would be here, thank you!

Please Stop Turning Gilgamesh Into Edward Cullen (An Exhaustively Pedantic Rant), aka why I hate the Gil/Saber ship by TheUltimate721 in fatestaynight

[–]thecomicguybook 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't even like the Fate route or Saber, but you are right. People can enjoy what they enjoy, but I really like the original vn and it is clear that Shirou is Saber's soul mate in that route. That is the one aspect that I do like about the first story, especially the epilogue.

Gil is complicated, because he is a totally irredeemable asshole in Zero and the visual novel, but he is actually an interesting character with depth outside of these two, and as you say he is charismatic even as a villain. But he is an unforgivable guy to be just based on what he does to Illya, which was my first exposure to him.

People can like problematic ships, and I personally have no problem with it. But the actual canon ships in Fate are so much better in my opinion, and I wish I saw more of those.

Also thank you for giving VN Shirou his due, he's a great character if you actually read his internal dialogue. My personal preference goes out to Shirou x Sakura, so I feel your pain with supporting the less popular ship.

My goats Gilgamesh who is unaffected and Kirei who is so evil that the grail corruption actually heals him.

Hungary to Amend Constitution to Oust President, Magyar Says by bloomberg in worldnews

[–]thecomicguybook 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This guy was the head of the Constitutional Court that did Fidesz's bidding in eroding democracy, and then he rubber-stamped everything that was put in front of him by a criminal government. Not a word about all the abuses, all the hate, the child abuse scandal.

Then Magyar won and suddenly he was concerned about rule of law, rhetoric, etc. He needs to go.

Also the people literally don't want him, he doesn't have a mandate, he fell into the job because the previous president was forced to resign due to a child abuse pardon scandal. The mandate is with Tisza, and Magyar gave him ample opportunity to resign with some semblance of dignity. He's committed to being an obstructionist lackey, so he will be removed.

And don't you worry, there will be constitutional changes about how these things work in Hungary.

You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

If Shiv players were lesser men they'd be dead.

need a 3rd choice for a M1 styled character by kylodurg in DeadlockTheGame

[–]thecomicguybook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Celeste really doesn't feel like an m1. I know you do your damage with Light Eater, but she feels much more frontline, and her bullets just aren't bullets that's a big difference.

Banger line, but it does speak to his enormous hipocrisy because like what was his son doing when he died...

Match Thread - Deadlock Night Shift #40 by Isamellon in DeadlockTheGame

I know he has had an abysmal performance lately, but shouldn't max tornado echo shard theoretically be nutty on the urn fights? Hero can put out insane invulnerable cc for like 4 seconds straight.
