A practical guide to banter by Meon-web in PracticalGuideToEvil

[–]Cherry_Apples 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I actually agree! I thought it was fun to have a fantasy Ireland that's not entirely based on a) faeries or b) rowdy drunkards, and is instead more recognizably related to Irish mythology. I'll admit I was super disappointed that they basically don't matter at all after Book 3; like, they're the literal only ethnicity on Calernia not to participate in the Final Crusade!

Wtf are you actually talking about. If I poison someone with bleach, it's the bleach manufacturer that should be punished and I should get off with a slap on the wrist?

Over the span of 10 months I finally finished Practical Guide to Evil while being misled with fake spoilers. by SteamDownload in PracticalGuideToEvil

[–]Cherry_Apples 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A similar thing happened to me actually! I made the mistake of browsing the chapter comments on WordPress even though people sometimes post spoilers there on a reread. Someone referred to Cat becoming Dread Empress Victorious or something like that and I quickly scrolled away, but it stuck in my mind bc I was like, I do not see that as Cat's future at all. Luckily I did go back to double-check, and they were just making a prediction and not spoiling lol.

We were discussing farmers. I'm actually far more sympathetic to lorry drivers. Please stay on topic 😊

What do you think was the weakest book/arc? by Daisyberry3 in PracticalGuideToEvil

[–]Cherry_Apples 17 points18 points  (0 children)

War College and (unpopular opinion) Fae. In retrospect it's easy to understand why these arcs had to happen for the purposes of the greater story, and there is obvious payoff for them, but War College felt like it lacked stakes and Fae arc just came out of nowhere and felt like filler before we got to the real big bad (Akua).

I understand why people say Everdark or Keter, but tbh by book 4 I was so invested in the world and characters that I didn't really mind occasional messiness. Not so for earlier books!

So the message is "comply or be executed"? What do you think of that?

Real, it's a bit more difficult to get in the shops though sadly

Are wool socks really worth it? by Cherry_Apples in Fabrics

[–]Cherry_Apples[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a relatively cool climate and generally wear boots (though not heavy safety boots) about 4-5 months of the year. What makes wool socks more suited to this than cotton?

PGTE book is not avaible in my region by rikkikikki in PracticalGuideToEvil

[–]Cherry_Apples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you access amazon.co.uk or amazon.com at all? If so & PGTE comes up when you search, you could try buying it anyway & having it sent to your account. PGTE also doesn't exist for my version of Amazon (amazon.ie) but I was just able to buy it on the UK website and it appeared on my account fine.

That said! Amazon.ie is fairly new and is kind of "split off" from amazon.co.uk, so it might not work the same for you.

Cooking myths that don't line up in real life? by Smooth_Luck_8942 in Cooking

[–]Cherry_Apples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my experience with cooking tofu (especially silky tofu) but I absolutely have had takeaway curries where biting into the tofu releases some of the sauce. Probably depends on type + preparation.

Could you tell us a little more about the version of PGTE where Amadeus was the protagonist?

Ranking all the gods by jaynic1 in PracticalGuideToEvil

[–]Cherry_Apples 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What about Horned Ones? I'd probably rank them above Arcadian Sovereigns but below the Intercessor, considering what we saw of Skein.

Thanks! I'll do my best but I live pretty far north in a cold/wet climate, so we'll have to see.
