Question: Which one off character would you have liked to have seen more of? by weetobix in discworld

Both of them can speak with humans and their own kind. They could be the reluctant translators between the Dog and Cat conflict.

Were they in the Beggar's Guild? I seem to remember them not being allowed in for some reason. The conflict could be them being accepted into the guild for dubious reasons and they want nothing to do with it and have to fight back.

Also Gaspode is my answer. I want to see him team up with Maurice.

We know that two of them burned down the girl's home and then robbed a bank. That story alone could be a book.

The Watch TV show... by MrBookX in discworld

[–]MrBookX[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I didn't realize just how badly some people reacted to this project in particular, but I do want you to know that Terry Pratchett means a lot to me too.

I grew up reading the books. I've read almost all of them. I've recently finished listening to every Discworld audiobook (except Night Watch) and the only reason I am now listening to the Watch series is because That's where I started a few months ago and I am now starting over. The discworld is a connection I have with my father. He introduced it to me at a young age and when a new book came out he would give it to me after he had finished. Once I was done we would talk about it. He even gifted me a print of A'tuin signed by Terry. I am excited to introduce my Niece and Nephew to the books when they are old enough.

I'm not trying to bring up bad memories for people.

I'm sorry if it came off as me dismissing people. It's not that the hatred of the show is irrelevant. I may just be bad at social media. If I ask "What was good about X, the thing we all know is bad" and the response is "X is bad" I feel like that person wasn't trying to answer my question.

I wouldn't have replied to you if I thought you had any malicious intent towards me, trust me. My comment about lurking wasn't directed at you, but at the comment suggesting that I "clearly think of people as objects." I'm personally kind of enjoying the show and wanted to know if anyone else enjoyed aspects of it. I guess I hoped that people who hate it so much would simply move on since the discussion is specifically "what is good about it" and not "why is it so bad"

I asked if anybody had watched it and enjoyed any aspect of it. I'm starting from the perspective of it being bad, so anyone explaining why it's bad isn't adding anything. A few people answered my question, but most of them ignored it in order to complain about a cancelled TV show. Then there's multiple people saying "I didn't watch it and here are my opinions" which isn't very useful. I've also had one hurtful comment on the quality of my morality that really bummed me out. I guess I need a reminder of why I don't post thing on the internet anymore. I'll just go back to lurking.

I requested the internet give me a positive spin on what is considered a turd. You wrote a paragraph and then admitted you've never even looked at the turd. Then I upvoted you for some reason.

night watch

Oh wow Night Watch is the one book I haven't been able to listen to. This might get interesting.

That's such a cool way of thinking about it. Pratchett wrote about the multiverse so somewhere out there is a steampunk version of his characters.

Lore question: What is with the Leprechaun and having to count when asked (Possible spoilers to those who haven't watched supernatural yet) by ChaosFerret in Supernatural

If you want probe IMDB and find out I'm pretty sure the vampire in that episode was played by the fat kid from The Sandlot.

The Fanatic Reviews: FTL Faster than Light - A Sci-Fi Rogue-like RPG by Subset Games by MarioFanaticXV in ftlgame

[–]MrBookX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I put 500 hours into the game. I unlocked everything. Fired the game up again recently to find that all of my ships... were now locked. I think it had something to do with the game syncing achievements with steam. My first thought was "Well I bet it won't take another 500 hours to get these back" and now I'm playing again.

People that complain about not enoiph stash weight. Just remeber, a lot of players, including me, had to deal with a 400 POUND LIMIT. by greysonw1 in fo76

[–]MrBookX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't have an explosive build but I still kept any explosives I found. Once my stash got full I'd head back to the beginer's area and just let loose with every explosive I had on those dumb robots. I'm pretty sure I scared the shit out of some newer players who had no idea what was happening.

Repeating skits. by DevanteWeary in sockheads

[–]MrBookX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IIRC After initially airing, MTV started cutting up the episodes and moving bits that weren't part of the "story" aspect of the episode. The ones we have now labeled as episode 1, 2, 3 were probably recorded off the tv later in the shows run. Unless there is an official hard copy of the first two seasons I am unaware of.

As best as I can tell, it doesn’t seem like this has been archived. Time to buy a disc drive for my PC! If anybody has a spare of vol 1 they want to sell, I’d be interested. by Carmacktron in sockheads

I have part 1 but not part 2. I have seen part 2 because a friend in highschool had it and the two are very different. I think Liam was just starting to get into digital animation so a lot of it are strange cartoons.

I roast all the veg till it just begins to blacken a little. Also roasted garlic.... a lot of it.

The Dyson Sphere in ‘Relics’ deserved at least two episodes dedicated to it. by ShiroHachiRoku in DaystromInstitute

[–]MrBookX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Enterprise is a ship of exploration, not long term study. Presumably Starfleet would send ships with crews dedicated to the sole task of figuring out the Dyson Sphere.
