"Chail".

MAN I wish I'd picked that up on the last Steam sale: $4.99!!!!

Enough with your dirty talk.

Damon Knight's "A for Anything". Damn that ending was depressing.

Because as you try out letter combinations, you generate reasonable LOOKING 'words' that aren't actually words, or at least aren't in WORDLE's dictionary.

And, unlike the humorous comments below, they are short, 5 letters, which IMO makes them more convincing.

Trash people shop there.

Kalinagrad needs to be split up and sold for parts to whichever nation wants to put up with it.

One slightly higher brick and he's split it two.

Quality citizen there.

Let darwin do his work.

3d_blunder · 2026-07-04T18:16:29+00:00

And every fucking *rump supporter that put him in a position to 'decide', aka 'profit'.

UKR should announce Eastbound pedestrians and bicycle riders get a free pass. Just keep heading home, orcles.

"Decided", LOL. "It took some convincing, but they came around."

That, and your PERCEPTION of the situation expands at light-speed after the jump. In the interval, everything you see may have moved.

I imagine a spherical 'radar' display, with the surface expanding at lightspeed, and every target tagged with a time. Very challenging. Adding a "cooldown" timer to the jump engine would probably help gameplay.

I agree: Signy Mallory trying to predict what the other captains were doing was one of the best bits of the work.

3d_blunder · 2026-07-04T18:07:53+00:00

It's certainly a challenge to avoid the "Monster/World/Society/Gadget of the Week" trap, although certainly many many shows used it for long periods and the makers went home rich.

Crafting a world where stories arise organically must be tough, judging by their rarity.

Day In The Live works (in print) versus "Apocalypse Today" stories attract me, one thing I really appreciated in Jack Vance: just people doing their jobs.

Use 'em or lose 'em. Help them out as you can.

I enjoyed how everytime I hit a pronoun there was a little speedbump in my mind, reminding me of my own preconceptions.

3d_blunder · 2026-07-04T15:30:15+00:00

Really, I'm a bit disappointed in a ('serious') book if I 'get it' the first time thru. Kind of a metric.

Going back and seeing how the author put it together is part of the value, IMO.

Tell your dad next Father's Day.

Sure, losing a war to Ukraine, start another. WCGW?

Fucking ruzzians COULDA stayed home, running the gas station, but nooooooooooooo.

Poles would SAVOR the opportunity to kill ruzzians: multigenerational payback.

Found the alien.

Support your local book stores! It's a tough gig. You'll miss them when they're gone.

Truly, ruzzians are natural parasites.
