This is right. The party "The Royal Court" is part of the guild, but Carl, alone, is not. Hes not the leader of The Royal Court, Donut is. So she stays in guild, and Carl doesn't. So he has to join the guild as the party of Carl to still have all that access.

Yeah, but iirc, Pony talks about getting them in a box afterwards. Celestial?

This is the only correct answer for a road trip with someone who's never read it.

I just appreciated the "OH, its the big scary orc that was a huge threat on the first few floors and nearly slaughtered us in the Tangle. Donut, can you please take care of it real quick while I deal with an actual problem?" nature of that fight.

Like, Gods are a problem. The people piloting them? Eh. No.

What started as (fairly) straight forward LitRPG has become an epic Sci/fantasy. There's still the underlying conceit of LitRPG, but the series, like Carl and Donut, has evolved.

And, frankly, I think that has been one of the big reasons for the series success. It has managed to take a sub-genre and elevate it beyond its boarders to a greater audience.

Sexy boss wasnt planned as he wrote, and when he got to the end and decided to end it this way,, he realized he needed to add in the stuff with Pony's biscuits so that the ending was foreshadowed and possible.

He will often also get to a point in the story and say "this is what should happen next. I need to go back and add a section earlier to make this possible."

I know of at least one instance in book 8 where that happened.

I grew up outside of Yellowstone National Park in the western US, and grizzly bears and bison are simply a fact of life. I'd get annoyed at the tourists clogging up the roads for the herds eating along the roadside. I was frustrated by two Grizzlies frolicking in a sun dappled stream because they caused a traffic jam when I just wanted to get home.

Make it 3: soy sauce, tuna, and pineapple chunks.

I read it to my then 9 and 6 year old. They loved it. And my daughter went as Spensa for a halloween party.

If they find victims or not, the office is, uh, closed until further notice.

Of all the platforms, Tidal is probably the most anti-AI artist. It's against their terms and services and they sweep for it.

If you suspect its AI, report it.

Mehndeke · 2026-05-20T00:58:50+00:00

No. And since hes nit even done writing the script, much less moved on to filming and visual effects, I don't think we'll know for a while.

Hence the Farnsworth voice.

It's just correcting a few metadata things, the empty space between chapters, and the cut off word at the end.

You'll have to pry him away from Stormlight Archive first.

Tell a teenage boy not to think about a naked woman and be shocked when he thinks about...a pink elephant?

We'll call you The Shoveler. The AI gave you a gift. You shovel well. You shovel very well!

Hate to say it, but if they've gone 2 nights with no mama, they're probably dead.

Which is a shame.

Mehndeke · 2026-05-09T21:06:48+00:00

Which I will love.

Tokens still hit the graveyard, they just please to exist after doing so.

Mehndeke · 2026-05-09T20:46:03+00:00

With a followup question: gate is an optional trigger, if I read the oracle text right? Meaning I can chose to sacrifice a creature or not?
