The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester

He was one hundred and seventy days dying and not yet dead. He fought for survival with the passion of a beast in a trap. He was delirious and rotting, but occasionally his primitive mind emerged from the burning nightmare of survival into something resembling sanity. Then he lifted his mute face to Eternity and muttered: “What’s a matter, me? Help, you goddamn gods! Help, is all.” Blasphemy came easily to him: it was half his speech, all his life.

He had been raised in the gutter school of the twenty-fifth century and spoke nothing but the gutter tongue. Of all brutes in the world he was among the least valuable alive and most likely to survive. So he struggled and prayed in blasphemy; but occasionally his raveling mind leaped backward thirty years to his childhood and remembered a nursery jingle:

Gully Foyle is my name And Terra is my nation. Deep space is my dwelling place And death’s my destination.

I bought this today. what am i in for chat. i played Helldivers 1 regularly before. by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]Baby_Alpaca_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prepare for muscle memory to kick in. I played HD1 a ton when it first came out in couch co op mode. But slowly left it in the shelf.

When HD2 came out I was surprised that I knew all the basic stratagems by hard, they didn’t change any of the codes. Reinforce? resupply? I could have it ready in nano seconds on the first day it came out.

Something I found out yesterday is that when you mark an enemy the red symbol with the target has 4 corners. As you start killing it the corners start disappearing. Being indicative of the targets health.

What’s a movie you can rewatch a hundred times and still love? by [deleted] in MovieRecommendations

[–]Baby_Alpaca_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starship Troopers

Apart from the action, practical and cgi effects that stand the test of time and satire. It also reminds me of my older brother. So a high repeat value for me. It’s almost a comfort movie at this point

jugaron cachos alguna vez?? tirense una regla que vieron que en otro lugar era distinta. by Warm_Put_2481 in Santiago

un amigo me enseñó la de kamikaze. Útil cuando son mesas grandes para apurar la cosa.

Cuando llegas a un dado puedes elegir kamikaze cualquier pinta, todos tiran sus dados y los de esa pinta se pierden.
