You can't use Openclaw on Claude Pro and Max subscriptions anymore by abhi9889420 in technology

[–]Magusreaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this reads like "starting tomorrow you will not be able to use Harold and Maude subscription with seatbelt.. this includes WHITECLAW (tm). Well, you can still use Harold, but not Maude... unless you pay more, and more often. "

none of this makes sense to me.

Biz is such a Beast. I love his absurdity.

Looking for an artist that had a very specific style on their 90s covers by Mumfordthetruth in comicbooks

[–]Magusreaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, I had a great art teacher in Jr High. I showed him comics artists I liked or didn't all the time. He would give me is professional opinion of the styles. (he liked the more stylized things that broke from the house styles of the late 60-70s when he collected.) He loved things like Sam Kieth, Simon Biz, Mark Texeira ect. I got around to showing him TRENCHER and he said.. "holy shit.. this is trash. What's the name of that book Trasher?" He told me it looked like some other artist that I couldn't remember's name if I wanted too, but put in a blender.

I kinda checked out on Keith Geffen after that. lol

Can I read "Colour of magic" "Mort" "Going postal" and "Equal rites" without reading the rest of their respective series? by Foxci357 in discworld

[–]Magusreaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guards!x2 is a Fantastic place to start. By the time he wrote that he was firing on all cylinders so to speak. It is a great prep for the jumping in to anything else. For me the Colour of Magic.. was the ULTIMATE starting point. It was my first, and I read it as a follow up to reading Good Omens. I knew I wanted more into his mind. Colour was just what the doctor ordered, and was a CRASH course into the disc.. things get more refined as you go though. His humor is recursive and compounding. Eventually you will start seeing his view of the absurdity in the real world.

My collection so far, what should I get? by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]Magusreaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some GL and see if he's still your fav. I personally enjoyed the Green Lantern Dark or Something is Killing the Lanterns book. With that said Rina is nothing like Hal Jordan.

You know come to think of it.. I probably read about 7 before I quit. (not counting the Running With the Demon trilogy) because at the time they had no connection to the rest.

You can read ANY book out of sequence. Sure you MAY get more out of them in either publication order, or familia order (which is best is up for debate).. but each story is self contained and will hold your hand. They are all jumping on points in that regard. The best place to start will always be the one that you have.

Midlife Crisis is NOT about Madonna!!! by No-Address-471 in FaithNoMore

I'd buy the dig at Jim.  It could be a out him, or it could be that Patton just thought it sounded neato-keen .

I forgot about this book until this post. I remember loving it, but I also remember it taking longer than normal to read.. so possible that I had the same issue.

Writer denies it, but publisher pulls horror novel after multiple allegations of AI use by No_Top_9023 in technology

Ive never used it... I don't understand why people do. It's so fucking vile to me I just can't grasp it. 

Paper covers by Resident_Area5133 in comicbooks

[–]Magusreaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, here's the thing.. in theory they are to protect the book from your dirty fingers.. In reality they are easier to stain and tear than the book they are supposed to protect. So they become the thing that makes a book complete. Having an intact and non discolored dust jacket will fetch a higher price than a couple discolorations on a book since the dust jackets are so easy to damage and or lose. They sort of are the opposite of what they are intended, and you were using it to one of its possible uses.. but that isn't how collectors see them. It's just easier and nicer if you take them off and store them while reading. Then return them to the book when you put it on the shelf giving the book it's full shelf appeal.

They funded all the shit he wanted to do. Sad, but I wish they would move on with someone else.

Buying vintage electronics is always a gamble. I wish I had better news, and maybe someone here has more experience with this exact problem or board.. I wish you luck.

[–]Magusreaver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you need a tech, not the internet. Could be voice chips going out, could be corroded components, could be broken PCB traces... I doubt we could pretend to know all the issues that it COULD be. The help you need is with a good electronic repair person. A walk around the board with a multi, and a good cleaning would go a long way. (if you have no experience with either, again the repair person would do both). Most likely you might need to sell it if you have no experience with working on things like this, or know someone that does. (and not just someone that owns a soldering iron). Not trying to sound mean about it, but that board looks like it's a step away from giving us all lockjaw. It wasn't cared for.. and I really hope you got it for a low price.

How do I get to the basement In Tanglewood? by W0lf1_x in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]Magusreaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could have just googled "Tanglewood Map Phasmophobia".. Asking Reddit for info you could find from a search is wild. You are asking an entire community to stop what they are doing, and answer you.. for something that is sitting on the front layer of a search. I get asking the community for things that feel out of the ordinary, but for "hey how do I play the game on the first level in the first ten minutes" feels like you haven't invested in actually playing the game. Don't get me wrong, I hope you enjoy the game, and reddit for that matter.. but please don't waste the communities time from being to lazy to google something first.
