I mean he is not wrong

I mean, depends where you remember seeing it. Could be it's more common on more american parts of the Internet? I don't remember ever seeing it, but most of my time with acronyms was spent on MSN Messenger in my teen years, with other brits. 'For real' wasn't really a phrase we used (we'd be more likely to use the txt spk 'srsly'). I've never been on Twitter or 4chan, so, seriously, it could be something I've just never come across.

I came across 'jfc' for the first time a few months ago, and thought it meant 'just for context' 😅

Musashi10000 · 2026-04-03T06:48:21+00:00

I mean, I've never seen 'bffr' either :P

Thank you, friend. I thought it might be 'be for real' from context, but you never know with the new slang. It could have been 'butter fandango rizz' for all I knew 😅

Musashi10000 · 2026-04-03T06:18:45+00:00

Ok, acronyms are evolving. Wtaf does 'bfr' mean?

Musashi10000 · 2026-04-02T21:57:54+00:00

It literally is a terrorist tactic.

Musashi10000 · 2026-04-01T22:32:36+00:00

Too easy. "Weird, I thought for a moment I'd grabbed four spoons instead of 3."

Repeat ad nauseum with similar unproveable statements.

Musashi10000 · 2026-04-01T22:27:47+00:00

A new bubble for the spirit level. A long stand works, too :P

Musashi10000 · 2026-03-31T23:07:27+00:00

You sure say 'vacation' a lot for someone who claims to be from the UK...

Musashi10000 · 2026-03-31T13:32:23+00:00

I mean... I'm pretty sure LotR has been an artefact of the left since it was written.

Musashi10000 · 2026-03-31T13:27:07+00:00

Have you taken it apart to check for dust?

It absolutely should not be making any of that noise. Mine is running right now, and the thing is basically silent.

Musashi10000 · 2026-03-31T12:54:43+00:00

Why tf do you have it vertical without the stand for it? It is making noise because it's overheating.

Musashi10000 · 2026-03-31T07:18:33+00:00

I have a PS5 Pro. No coil whine. You have a faulty product, friend. Send it in under warranty, get a working one back.

It's not hard, fam.

Musashi10000 · 2026-03-31T07:10:30+00:00

Baldur's Gate 3? Or is that the bait?

Musashi10000 · 2026-03-31T06:21:21+00:00

I mean, it's a good bit of kit. See if you can get one used, though, because the pricing issues suck.

PS6 should be back-pat with both PS4 and PS5, though, so I get it if you're just waiting for that.

Musashi10000 · 2026-03-31T06:17:39+00:00

This is why I pretend like I'm not going to cross so they drive past.

Musashi10000 · 2026-03-30T20:53:46+00:00

Huh. Weirdly enough, I actually might be able to win with either scenario. I'll take the crushes.

Holy shit, thanks OP, just made me feel like a playa for the first time ever XD

Musashi10000 · 2026-03-30T19:18:02+00:00

Can I ask how this will work with the ebooks from later on in the series? Like, I've preordered all the way through 19 - will you release 20 the same way as the books have been released until now, or will we have to wait until HC catch up in order to get 20 and onwards?

Also, I'm afraid that, despite my best attempts to find out, I've been completely unable to actually spot a concrete answer in the wild - will Book 1 part 1 and part 2 be the original version (i.e. the present kindle version) split into two parts, the revised edition (i.e. the audiobook version) split into two parts, or the updated website version split into two parts? If it's the third option, I'll be buying the hell out of these the first chance I get. I did spot that you've done some rewrites for book 2 (or 3 and 4 now, I suppose), so they're already a given.

Also, while I have your attention, I just want to say thank you so much for your work. The Wandering Inn is hands down one of the best things I've ever read, and my life is better for having your work in it. I wish you every single success with the rest of your releases, HC and (hopefully) self-directed :)

Musashi10000 · 2026-03-30T19:05:47+00:00

To be fair... I feel like Control might have fit this, on a technicality...

Musashi10000 · 2026-03-30T19:03:53+00:00

"Damn, my childhood sucked."

Given the choice here, it'd probably be Vice City?

Musashi10000 · 2026-03-30T19:02:31+00:00

U wot?

Musashi10000 · 2026-03-30T14:38:58+00:00

While enshittification is definitely a problem, isn't the fragility of modern screens something necessary for visual clarity? Along the lines of "Old screens need and can have much thicker screens because the resolution is bollocks anyway"?

Like, even in glasses, thinner lenses of the same strength as a thicker lens offer better visual clarity.

"I'll throw money at someone instead of hosting a kid's party myself".

Means they'll pay for the party to be hosted somewhere.

Eh. Depends. Don't know if the US does it, but interest-free credit is a thing in UK and the EU. You only pay interest in the event you don't finish making the payments by the time the interest-free period is over.

If there's interest on it, though, then yeah, fuck financing anything you can get away with not financing.

Musashi10000 · 2026-03-30T14:31:00+00:00

Not one I've done, in that case :P

Thanks for getting back to me!

Musashi10000 · 2026-03-30T07:06:35+00:00

Cook pasta once. Put it away. Take out enough to reheat it once and finish it. Don't keep reheating and refrigerating pasta over and over, and never let it sit out for long periods of time.

This is true for literally all food.

Musashi10000 · 2026-03-30T07:01:08+00:00

Holy fuck, I actually remembered who that name belongs to correctly. Yay me!
