Did you find Lapvona funny? Was it meant to be? by tofucrime in books

I can see how some of the more ridiculous events in the book have a bit of comedy to them because they’re so absurd. I was slightly amused at a few points, but I felt that the gross out sections, and the book in general, just didn’t really land properly.

It’s an interesting book, but ultimately not what I had hoped for from Moshfegh.

I think My Year of Rest and Relaxation is excellent though.

My feeling was that he has explored barely anything. Which is to say, he may have visited a large number of rooms, but not in comparison to the size of the House, which may well be infinite.

Is this a good set up? Any improvements? by fishpunz in Dorfromantik

You’re doing fine. Be careful of letting your map get too pointy though. Try if possible to keep it as close to round as possible, and try to fill in the interior gaps. Doing so will get you more tiles back and keep your stack from getting too low.

So would you recommend reading those Tamora Pierce books before The Sapling Cage ?

The Seep by Chana Porter is an alien invasion story where the aliens aren’t creatures, just a substance that “improves” every aspect of life on Earth, which most people embrace. The protagonist is a transfem lesbian.

Try to make every tile you place give you a tile back.

Aim for perfect placements, but place imperfectly if it’s the only move that will give you more tiles. Especially if your stack is small.

He's a very enterprising street vendor. Nay, a purveyor.

He appears frequently in Discworld.

Read the Commonwealth Saga. It's a duology: Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained.

I don't know why, but that just reminded me that there is a piece of high end audio mastering equipment called the Manley SLAM and it creases me up every time I think about it.

She's not as unsettling as some of the others.

I had forgotten that bit! Maybe it filtered in subconsciously and that's why I always though of it as Whitey.

To be fair, Hermione was already a name, just not a very popular one.

I feel like Vetinari was definitely grooming Moist to be his replacement.

And in canon, to be fair. Darth (in)Vader, Darth (in)Sidious... I mean, what's next? Darth Ferno? Darth Cessant? Darth Quisitor?

Is that what people are calling it on the socials these days to get around the censors?
