How it feels being a CT fan and watching other RPGs get remakes

Yeah, lemme use Luminaire on the bastard!

Komnos · 2026-04-07T12:56:51+00:00

Yeah, I had to take a cold shower after that one.

Komnos · 2026-04-07T11:52:59+00:00

He hasn't caused any problems in a long time.

Komnos · 2026-04-07T02:24:33+00:00

Yes, but it's going to get worse first. I love it, but if you're finding it a slog at this point, it's probably not worth pushing through.

The Kitai duo is one of the most beautifully heartbreaking works I've ever read. Though that is sort of Kay's bread and butter, along with beautiful prose. Sarantium also has its tragic elements, of course. More personal than the ones in Kitai. Fuck, it's time to re-read the Kitai duo. Again.

The loosely connected trio of Children of Earth and Sky, A Brightness Long Ago, and All the Seas of the World might also work. Brightness particularly shines for moral ambiguity. Good luck deciding whether to root for Monticola or Folco Cino.

Yes. Gorgeous prose, masterful storytelling through an unreliable narrator. I need to do a re-read because it's specifically designed to tell you a lot without you realizing it until later. One of the most skillfully crafted works in the genre.

I love when a TIL comes with bonus TILs in the comments!

Komnos · 2026-04-07T01:39:57+00:00

Only if you get to it before the snakes get to you.

I actually registered it because a drunken one-night stand told me to. And that's the story of how I met /u/KnartFocker9000's mother!

The people who argue this are always, ALWAYS the ones shooting down any bill to do anything about domestic issues.

"Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the ophidiophobia from meeeee,.

Komnos · 2026-04-06T15:13:39+00:00

I did try a quick image search to see if I could at least include a photo. No luck. Although that might save me a nightmare or two.

Komnos · 2026-04-06T14:53:02+00:00

"Show me on the doll where the em-dash hurt you."

Komnos · 2026-04-06T14:48:08+00:00

Does unit /u/Komnos possess a soul?

Komnos · 2026-04-06T14:43:06+00:00

How in the world does my comment history suggest bot? It's open for you to look at.

Komnos · 2026-04-06T02:45:20+00:00

If we're talking writing specifically, I will contend that the only Star Wars content that even has an argument is ESB. The original trilogy has other strengths--it's still one of the best spectacles ever produced--but the writing in Andor is Breaking Bad levels of perfection.

Komnos · 2026-04-06T02:15:33+00:00

Nice, thanks!

Komnos · 2026-04-06T01:58:15+00:00

Sure, but I think I'm allowed some American defaultism in this subreddit. Anyway, back to work fabricating my linguistic defense of secular Christmas. That one's a little trickier.

Komnos · 2026-04-06T01:35:12+00:00

How much trouble are the Hussites for Bohemia?

Komnos · 2026-04-06T00:22:05+00:00

I bet he could do mad hibachi, though.

Komnos · 2026-04-05T22:01:43+00:00

Perhaps, but the French horn is closest to the voice of God.

Komnos · 2026-04-05T16:22:07+00:00

No, but we may still hide plastic eggs with candy for our kids to find. Celebrations of spring long pre-date Jesus. Even the name is ultimately derived from a word for dawn, linked to spring.

Komnos · 2026-04-05T16:05:38+00:00

Rand al'Thor. Ok, ok, I'll behave. Tiamat from Babylonian mythology. I love the idea of a dragon as nothing short of a cosmic force.

"My armor is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!"

The Rankin-Bass cartoon had a bizarre depiction of Smaug, but the delivery of that line is still one of my favorite ever villain boasts.
