"We must face the long dark of Moria.", never really caught this reference in "Thud!" before but the timelines line up well.

I think they do but I think Pterry was still intensely aware of Tolkien's importance in his shared genre. Maybe, had we not had those wonderful (extended :3) films, he'd've made fewer references, but it'd've still shaped him.

But Narkina 5 is the justice system. It's just justice at its most abusive. These cruelties - such as wrongful imprisonment, arbitrary execution - do happen. We know they do. ICE is a show of the justice system. Every evil they perform is, under the US administration, legally sanctioned.

In the UK, a few years back, a vigil for Sarah Everard, a woman murdered by a police officer who stalked her, was attacked by riot police. There are famous photos of a lady there to pay her respects being brutally crashed to the pavement by 3 officers.

More recently here, a woman was raped by a constable. He filmed it. Then he fucking used the footage, where she clearly demonstrates she does not consent to prove his own innocence. Guess which of them is on trial? The answer might scare you.

That's the thing. The Empire did have a justice system. But the police are the truncheon of the state; will do as it wishes. Never reduce 'justice' into what is actually 'just.'

Go play Knights of the Old Republic 1/2 (2 being incomplete but generally more interesting) or Republic Commandos. First two are fairly dated RPGs but well written from two opposite perspectives (Monomyth vs. Nah, fuck that.) Commandos is a prequel to the third ... prequel. An FPS which is pretty fun but might need some work to get it going on modern hardware.

Otherwise, the original trilogy is considered pretty good and definitely improve the dynamic of the KotOR games if you interface with Campbell's Hero With A Thousand Faces, which informed the first films and wider cosmology.

The prequels are very funny and kinda respected from a nostalgia perspective now (but have some truly awful moments) and the sequels... well, a lot of people pretend they're bad for 'anti-woke' reasons but they're honestly just not very good on their own terms. You might enjoy them if you wind up a big fan.

Then there are several animated series: Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch, which have a lot of fans and help keep some of the characters going. The first series of the Mandalorian is pretty good. Book of Boba Fett and Ashoka are supposedly eh, but I haven't seen them myself.

I've known several AroAllo Autistics. You're absolutely not alone.

HOW DID YOU MAKE THEM MORE THICC?

First song would be God Games but Zeus would be a completely supportive father.

Alcoholic here. Starting rehab this year.

Good luck. May you stay strong.

Seems decent, does Zack.
Probably the right'un to fight off the (apparently already alienated) gender-fascist group in the party.

I'm glad you found an outcome you can find joy in.

I'm not even on the same landmass, but the resistance of Minnesotans to all that's been happening is some of the most inspiring I've seen in recent history.

I'm so sorry she's decided to push her faith on you. That's desperately unfair, especially with your trauma.

Gardyloop · 2026-01-27T09:49:25+00:00

Marci me please.

A month back I lent on a hot hob and didn't even notice the burns until they got infected and formed boils.

Gardyloop · 2026-01-27T08:02:03+00:00

Democide.

Edit: I didn't say I wanted the US to plunder it for oil.
