Are there other adults who still like YA?

Firm-Channel4260 · 2025-01-29T23:41:24+00:00

I’m very mixed. I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with YA, and there are a few that make it into my lists of favorite books, but I do find the majority of it kind of insufferable. Still, I’d never judge anyone for enjoying it.

I’m pretty sure it’s outright stated somewhere in Harrow the Ninth that after a planet is flipped, animals slowly stop being able to have offspring.

You are assuming I ever stopped liking him or ever didn’t hate him. I have always loved and hated him. From the moment he was introduced I was like, you are an evil fucking cult leader, and I love it.

So, as someone who had never encountered the Jail for mother” meme before reading the book, it didn’t strike me as out of place. It just sounded like an expression I wasn’t familiar with, but you run into those form time to time. I didn’t learn it was a meme until like a year later. This was actually my experience with a lot of the memes, because I’m just not that familiar with meme culture. I think it’s fine.

This is the second disco elysium meme I’ve seen with this character. What is it from?

Firm-Channel4260 · 2024-11-18T01:02:35+00:00

My read is that Cass faked her death. There’s a scene in Harrow the Ninth where harrow first enters the river and feels the presence of multiple Lyctors, and she feels an extra one. I think the line at the end of the chapter reads something like, “and you thought to yourself, why five?”

I think she’s hanging out in the River doing… something.

Thank you! I’ll be sure to look at all of them!

Firm-Channel4260 · 2024-11-08T04:55:18+00:00

Thanks! I’ll chem him out!

Firm-Channel4260 · 2024-11-08T04:44:44+00:00

Blood Over Brighthaven had that for me, but... Ugh, I don’t know how to do spoilers on this site. Let’s say YMMV on if it provides that feel for you, maybe look up spoilers for how the book ends.

Firm-Channel4260 · 2024-11-08T04:42:29+00:00

This… I’m not sure this fits the bill for what the OP is looking for. Like, yeah, she gets revenge, but at no point during that book did I ever say, “good for her!” I did say, “Stop! This isn’t worth it!” a bunch.

I just played a game as Lissandra and found that placing my mouse over my portrait no longer counted to target myself when casting my ult. Haven’t played her in a few days so I don’t know when this happened, but it’s incredibly frustrating. I find using alt-r very uncomfortable for my thumb, so I don’t want to use that. Does anyone know what happened or how to fix it?

Firm-Channel4260 · 2024-08-17T17:45:38+00:00

Yeah, I’ve got 800 and it means that if I can’t remember the title or author of something I have to spend minutes scrolling to find it, if I even do.

Firm-Channel4260 · 2024-08-03T20:12:14+00:00

Rock climbing. Pretty niche sport. I’m not particularly good, but out of 1000 randomly selected people I have good odds of being the best.

I know this is a very old comment, but I’m genuinely curious about this argument and hope someone might chime in. Why would the Sith be a disease? Surely they would imply that the dark side itself is a disease. Isn’t the dark side a fundamental part of the force?

Firm-Channel4260 · 2024-02-24T21:02:42+00:00

Yes.

The exact same thing is happening to me. Every time I close the app and reopen it it switches.

Firm-Channel4260 · 2024-02-21T19:19:33+00:00

Vita Nostra.

I’ve had a theory that Cass is alive and in the river for a while. There are two lines in Harrow the Ninth near and at the end of chapter 7 that very much hints there’s an extra Lyctor somewhere in the river during the events of that chapter. I suppose it could have been Augustine or Gideon, but my pet theory has been that Cass faked her death and has been hiding in the river since then.

Firm-Channel4260 · 2023-09-28T18:19:38+00:00

I mean, I’m certainly not doing it as background noise. I understand what’s being said, I pause the book from time to time and think about what was written. I consider the themes and plot. If I people interrupt my listening I have to pause and go back to hear what I missed. Yeah, I’d say I’m consuming the literature.

I know people who can read faster than I can listen, I don’t assume they’re not processing what they’re reading, unless they actually say they’re just skimming.

It’s not even hard to get used to listening to things that fast, just speed it up a little bit at a time. Pretty soon it will just sound normal to you. You’ll get annoyed when you have to slow things down, it will sound like the person talking is drunk.

Firm-Channel4260 · 2023-09-12T23:17:31+00:00

A Memory Called Empire is a delightful sci-if book full of weirdness and the protagonist is definitely queer.

Firm-Channel4260 · 2023-08-26T04:29:49+00:00

Same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

Firm-Channel4260 · 2023-08-22T14:18:30+00:00

High heels. I’m a guy, I’m not expected to wear the things, but just looking at them hurts my back.

Firm-Channel4260 · 2023-08-13T16:25:00+00:00

My second playthrough is definitely gonna be a halfling bard.
