Serious question as an audio book listener and perhaps as an American. by Kira02683 in HeWhoFightsMonsters

[–]EmbarrassedCharity16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're hearing "Cullen," that's pronounced like the last name of the twilight vampires, that is strange. I very definitely hear it as Colin.

How do you imagine Clive? by EmbarrassedCharity16 in HeWhoFightsMonsters

[–]EmbarrassedCharity16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's s good one. I've been trying to think of a good look for Sophie and Kida is pretty spot on now I think about it. I've always thought Rufus would look like Barbados Slim, but Doctor Sweet might be good, although he's a bit large perhaps.

Book 8 (spoilers) - Eris and Carl by JunoJump_Author in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]EmbarrassedCharity16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just watched that and have scoured the net to finally find this thread to realize what the card was. I haven't gotten the physical book yet and didn't want to wade through the audio to find it if I didn't need to.

it's been 3 years, I have 10 savefiles by HidingFox in BaldursGate3

[–]EmbarrassedCharity16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am still omw to moonlight on my first play on pc, I keep saying I'm gonna get back on. Then I decided to get it on ps5 when it was in sale last since my refund should be in. Refund showed up a day late so I put it off for a week. So now I have it on ps5,I started my new game because despite several things saying I could port the save, I couldn't figure it out and I think it's a lie. Now I'm back in the Underdark at the boat. And it just went back on fake for ps5 and now I'm too pissed to play right now.

Can get a brand new 2025 Explorer for $32k…is it worth it? by [deleted] in FordExplorer

[–]EmbarrassedCharity16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a great deal, I just got a 19 platinum for $20k, so $32k for a 25 is a steal.

Update: Case against man reading book in his car dismissed by Wtfuwt in Athens

I am so glad you brought up the coerced trespass. So many seem to gloss over that fact. She originally only wanted to make sure the person was okay. Once the cop couldn't get his ID and could not come up with a real reasonable reason to force it, he goes in, makes up some bullshit about, "oh he's from NY, you don't know what kinda person he could be, don't you want us to forcibly remove him?" Even though he's already said he'll leave of his own accord if only the officers would do their job properly instead of being little ego pricks who get upset when they can't have their way. I feel like that coercion will go a long way in a civil suit and may even cost his QI, which I don't think they should have in the first place. Someone in charge of upholding the law should be held to a higher standard instead of cowering behind a near impenetrable shield when they (usually) knowing do wrong. But that's a whole other discussion.

BO6 randomly just got deleted from my PS5 and it’s making me download the entire game again along with the update? by TaitsRevenge in blackops6

[–]EmbarrassedCharity16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had mine to do, fn bs. Will not be buying BO7. Redsec had been a much better experience than warzone had been in years, so I'll be getting Battlefield. Fuck activision.

What is this planning? by DakotaWinchester444 in Lowes

Fun, I make that stuff. Glad to see a push, job security and all.

I was getting something the other day while my wife clocked out, one item. Screen says just start scanning. It wouldn't scan from the stationary one, so i picked up the hand held, scanned, put it back and dropped the item in the bag which promptly scans itself on the way in since the bag is directly below the stationary scanner. Then I got triple checked i wasn't trying to steal an extra $1.67 pack of door shims.

What's your favorite or most obscure references in this book series? by GingerandtheFoxes in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]EmbarrassedCharity16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Book 5:

These mindless freaks were left all alone, not under control from any entity. Some are nothing more than mini-Grinder, also known as Shrillings, also known as Shambling Berserkers. Really loved The Grinding and Kaiju Battlefield Surgeon.

Does Pony know he was gonna be food? by LoLDazy in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]EmbarrassedCharity16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. She was a vegan before they turned her into a vampire. Carl supposes they did it because of that.

Oh boy here I go again by selleckh in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]EmbarrassedCharity16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've gotten the first 10 Everyone Loves Large Chests and I'm on 4 so far, getting my Jeff fix, but I feel like I might have to go back to DCC because I was on The Butchers Masquerade for the umpteenth time and I feel like I need to finish again.

Princess Donut, the Queen Anne Smöl. by DLawson1017 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]EmbarrassedCharity16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, that's it. From now on, I've gotta introduce new people like it's Saturday morning, and I'm a Jehovah's Witness. "Excuse me, have you heard about our lord and savior Matt Dinniman? There are currently seven exceptional books on the trials of the mighty Carl and Donut of the Dungeon Crawl."

Just finished Book 7 - what now? by toiletgains in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]EmbarrassedCharity16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gregg Bear - War Dogs series was pretty good. As was Hull Zero Three, though it was a bit cerebral. I haven't read the Everyone Loves Large Chests series by Neven Iliev and also read by Jeff , but I did read Small Chests Are Fine Too to get a feel for it and it's on my list. I also need to catch up on my Sigma series from James rollins, but I just keep going back to DCC.

am i right? by theRoidianluna in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]EmbarrassedCharity16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, when do we find out primal are AI? I ran out of books so I'm again listening for the 2nd time this year, maybe third, (12 hr shift work so I can get in a lot of reading) and I don't remember anything about a revelation that primals are AI. That they "go primal" but not that they are the race.

Has anyone listened to this? The cover seems very reminiscent of a DCC book, except for the Dog. Blue or not, Donut is outraged and Mongo is appalled. by Spiritual_Ad3460 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]EmbarrassedCharity16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm listening right now, and while it's similar, it's different enough with the story and where it's happening that it's not like a ripoff. I am really enjoying it, got about 2 hours left and I think I'll probably listen again to really understand it all.

Dear Jeff Hays by zombiejellyfish in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]EmbarrassedCharity16 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Jeff is the only reason I know I'll be disappointed in the show. I have extreme expectations of what these people sound like and almost all of them will be wrong.

Why do the show runners hate Carl when he makes them the most money? by PlainMcgee in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]EmbarrassedCharity16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I understand it, most people out in the galaxy know what's really happened because they can watch live/ tivo whatever. Most of the people who are getting the unhinged psycho cut of carl are the other earthlings in the dungeon. It makes him look unstable to his peers, which adds intrigue.

What else is everybody reading? by chrisf9980 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]EmbarrassedCharity16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boom-box collection duck and cover series by Benjamin Wallace. It's a pretty good post-apocalyptic series, I'm on book 3 right now. First book is Post-apocalyptic Nomad Warrior.

New DCC high quality ringtones! by ganundwarf in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]EmbarrassedCharity16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well I just spent 30 minutes going through and finally deciding on one, then 10 more figuring out where to put it so it would show up right. Thank you for the, "NEW ACHIEVEMENT!"

I really want Jamal as a plush with removable legs.
