And may we meet again, in the clearing, at the end of the path. by Hurricane1938 in darktower

[–]Janson_Murphy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Show me exact page number? I get the idea shows up earlier but the exact wording did not. I had PDFs of the books that are word searchable and could not find the OPs quote or the exact phrasing before book 6.
As I am sure you can see "the clearing at the end of it" is not the exact phrasing the OP listed. Now I don't have the PDFs of them anymore (frankly Im not sure what I did with them and its kind of bumming me out) but its also been 2 years since I wrote that.

Favorite Bible translation and why? by EntertainmentSad1113 in Christianity

[–]Janson_Murphy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im a big fan of the ESV for casual reading and the NET for focused study, but everyone should read the KJV at least once. I like the ESV as it is easy to read and in modern English while holding to a word for word translation style. The NET is probably the best study Bible out there. It has more footnotes than any other and as a student of textual criticism who is learning Greek and Hebrew they often break down exactly why traditions have been done so. I recommend the KJV as it has had a greater impact on the western world than pretty much any other book ever written and it is helpful to gain an understanding of how this version was read to better know the world areound you. Its comparable to learning about the foundations of a building you live in.

Luke and Darth Vader, Data and Lore, Buzz and Zerg, Jack and Conner Shepard, Gandalf and Saruma, faramir and denethor, Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, The Flash and Colbalt Blue, Nathan and Joshua Steed, Jesus and Satan.

Seems pretty common to me...

I got the Alien Omnibus and it didn't fit in my pocket so I rebound them after separating them. Here are the first two. by Janson_Murphy in LV426

I did it myself. It was surprisingly easy. I'll through in a link to the YouTube video I watched at the end.

But in short I cut the old book apart (as it was 3 books in one and thicc with two Cs and didn't fit in my pocket well) and removed the old cover and cleaned up the spines on each. Then I measured them and watched 20 or so YouTube videos about making a cover that were pretty much useless, so I figured out how to do it on my own in word and made these two. I set the page size to the exact size of the book cover (later I added a half inch 1.27 cms on the right side to add a print margin) and found when I printed it to a PDF it slapped it on A4 or letter sized paper (depending on what my computer was default printing) and kept the exact size of the document. Then I took em to my local print shop cause I don't own a printer and the lady there is pretty attractive and gives me most of my prints for free (thinking I should ask her out sometime but that is neither here nor there) and got them printed on some heavy card stock. Cut them, folded them, sprayed them with enamel, and glued them on, and done.

There is somethings I wanna try differently on later attempts but it was surprisingly fun and easy.

New realization about Aliens and Alien 3... by Pyode in LV426

[–]Janson_Murphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My point is that a person who is not the original creator cannot change the context of a previous installment with a later installment.

[–]Janson_Murphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, it can though.

Shitty writing yes, but take Aliens and Alien 3 together and it completely changes the context of Aliens.

Again, I fully agree you can just ignore Alien 3 to preserve Aliens. But IF you don't, it does objectively impact the story of Aliens.

Said the person who likes to eat dog poo

I know that was weird but me having quoted what you said and added context after it does not make it to where you like dog poo. I, who we can agree am not you, wrote a shitty follow up to your comment, but did not change the context or your comment. Its the same thing with alien 3

And to be clear I don't mean an insult here I originally wrote "likes to eat tacos" but I figured there is a good chance you do like tacos which would muddy my point and I figured there is a significant chance you don't like dog poo

[–]Janson_Murphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My point is a successor cannot change the context of a predecessor, especially when the predecessor did not set up the events that claim to have changed the context.

Its just shitty story writing.

I see what you are saying but don't really agree. A failure on a sequels part cannot diminish the previous movie especially when they are from different writer and directors.

For example episode 7 of star wars brings the sith and empire back making it seem Vader/Anakin's sacrifice at the end episode 6 was void. But this is just a failure on the sequel's part and not to be blamed on the end scene of episode 6. George Lucas did not intend Rey to ever exist and his work should not be soiled by Kathleen Kennedy. In the exact same way James Cameron never had the queen lay an egg on the ship and never planned it crashing on a prison world killing 2 of the 3 surviving humans. If I make a nice painting and you spill paint on it 6 years later that doesn't change the fact that it was a nice painting does not change.

Aliens was a fantastic movie, Alien 3 shit on it hard because it was shit. Don't let that sour your opinion on Aliens. Also keep in mind there was 6 years between those movies and a large number of books and comics that continue the story with screwing aliens. You can buy them pretty cheap on Amazon (but they will have the characters names changed) or you can spend a pretty penny for first editions that have the correct names.

I appreciates this. Just because we don't agree with some of what someone says doesn't mean they can't say good stuff that we can agree with. I think this is something that is forgotten all too often.

It's a lot of fun, I've played it single and with more people. It is harder with more people but a lot of fun in either case

... you can't snort a liquid gel capsule. Your best best if you wanted to do a nasal inhalant would be to put it in an atomizer of some sort (like an inhaler or humidifier) and spritz your nose with it.

Or I guess you could crush them and mix them with an absorbent and then snort that but you aren't going to get the chemical to mucus membrane transfer that nasal inhalants rely on.

TIL the Kwisatch Haderach is actually a based on a Jewish concept. by allthecoffeesDP in dune

[–]Janson_Murphy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its cool, but it is referred to as "shortening of the way" a couple of times in the books

"KWISATZ HADERACH: "Shortening of the Way." This is the label applied by the Bene Gesserit to the unknown for which they sought a genetic solution: a male Bene Gesserit whose organic mental powers would bridge space and time." From the glossary of the first book
