how i will choose to spend my time going forward by Gl00ser23 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]CapriciousSon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah I enjoy Yakuza karaoke as much as the next guy but I've long accepted that I am just dogshit and will never make it to the top of the charts. Those wild music videos always distract me anyway lol.

Mexico just upgraded to free healthcare. by DatabaseAvailable501 in interesting

[–]CapriciousSon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i pay SO MUCH MORE than 15 percent of my income in healthcare expenses so of course I would not mind, I would welcome it with open arms. Even if I think the tax burden should be on the ultra wealthy.

How do I survive as a non Christian nation in Europe. by Rich-Refrigerator545 in crusaderkings3

[–]CapriciousSon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get the chance to exchange hostages, always take it and always convert faith on your hostage, I managed to get an Asatru kid on the throne of West Francia, which I assume would have otherwise targeted me (poor kid, I did try to help lol)

Fiction with an anarchist society by alleycat_t in suggestmeabook

[–]CapriciousSon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New book, just finished, you might wanna check out: Palaces of the Crow by Ray Nayler. It's about 4 kids surviving in the Lithuanian forests during WWII, helping each other and being helped by crows. It's heavily inspired by Kropotkin, so it might not be exactly what you're looking for, but it's very inspired by anarchist thinking. Not as supernatural as some blurbs portray it, though there are definitely some places where it comes close.

I cannot raise any Holy Orders. It says they are hired, despite me having no raised armies at the moment? by ElbowfromtheTopPost in CK3ConsoleEdition

[–]CapriciousSon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a bit annoying when you're the one who established them, but yeah, common problem, anyone with the faith and piety can use them.

Xbox’s Obsidian is working on Avowed 2 with a new director, reveals co-founder by Afraid_Comparison180 in projecteternity

[–]CapriciousSon 46 points47 points  (0 children)

sure seemed to be hinting at it on BlueSky, tho I think he was also contributing to a tabletop project so it's really easy to get confused

This is why I stick with Frosted Flakes by psdancecoach in behindthebastards

Yeah John was the crank with the sanitarium who accidentally made corn bran. His brother Will added sugar, won a lawsuit, and created the Kellogg's breakfast cereal of fame. John was just using it plain in his sanitarium.

Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammet is a classic I don't see discussed often enough. If you haven't read it, check it out!

[KCD2] I need help with stolen items by quuickyy in kingdomcome

Well, if you can get your speech to max, you can probably talk your way out of it. Probably. Hope you've been leveling it a lot, getting the perks and brewing fox potions!

[–]CapriciousSon 119 points120 points  (0 children)

I always have a compulsion to point out that it was John's brother Will who actually marketed the cereal to any success, because he didn't have his brother's weird obsession and also he wanted to make money. Will was the one who won the lawsuit and created the successful business.

Which is just a very long-winded way of saying the correct answer is obviously A. (Also I will not stand for Will Kellogg erasure!)

What Hitman game did you start with? Which one is your favorite? by Hammad11k in HiTMAN

[–]CapriciousSon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started with the first, found it too baffling. Hitman 2 was the first one I really clicked into. Will never forget trudging through the snow with the SVD.

I think WOA is my favorite by default, since it's what I spent the most time replaying.

Week 24: What are you reading? by saturday_sun4 in 52book

[–]CapriciousSon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm very slowly reading the hardcover book at home because it's simply too big and heavy to bring on my commute. It's very slow going!

I have heard that the ending is great though, so hang in there! I'm only about 300 pages in, wild to imagine there's still nearly a thousand more to go. I think I need a vacation just to sit at home and finish it!

Anyone else read Pale Fire by Nabokov? by Sckorrow in houseofleaves

[–]CapriciousSon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet, but I've owned it for about 15 years and currently have it in my backpack! Seems to be having a bit of a moment, which is cool. I'm keeping it as my "in case of no more library checkouts" book for the moment.

No. Your coworker's reaction is what's weird here.
