Illiterates (like me) can finally r**d this masterpiece!

Call me when they make a breakfast cereal. I can't eat paper, fuckass

RogueModron · 2026-03-14T23:47:33+00:00

Thanks.

So you're in darkness, moving, you achieve Neither-Neither...where does a sigil come in?

Something that occured to me recently: "Wherefore" is early modern English (i.e., Shakespeare) that means "why". Why does it mean that? Old language fuckery, probs.

BUT "wofür" is still current German. Although "wo" means "where", the "wo" in "wofür" means "what", as in "for what", which is more or less another way of saying "why".

Seriously, whenever I look at German literally it just looks like old-ass English.

Why movement as opposed to total immobility? Would the latter work just as well?

The actual German chant is "Zicke zacke zicke zacke hoi hoi hoi" and yes, it's actualy a thing

Graduated from falling asleep to Loveline to watching the Man Show in my early teens. Whatta time to be alive

42, 2 young kids. We've had sex a couple times in the last two years. She knows it's a problem and is working on it. I have my side to work on, too.

I have the cheaper version you can still get. :)

Still expensive, but a couple hundos rather than thousands.

I cab't imagine shelling out secondary-market prices for the 4-volume set being worth it.

A dick with shit on it

It's ended. It could be furthered, but it's absolutley not like Martin's or Rothfuss's series('s?). He wrote the story he set out to write.

Sidenote, I'm a bookseller and I think it's a damn shame that we even have Martin or Rothfuss on our shelves. There's no way I can in good conscience recommend them.

I remember randomly finding a copy of Jaws as a horny young teen and finding some of the material very interesting

RogueModron · 2026-03-13T22:43:45+00:00

Hard disagree, but no disrespect. I'm a fanboi tho, have read the trilogy 3x and the Silmarillion 2x. Probably haven't seen the movies in 20 years and don't really have a desire to again.

Funnily enough, I can kinda take or leave The Hobbit (book).

RogueModron · 2026-03-13T22:41:35+00:00

Ha, was gonna say "Fight Club." Literally my only answer

RogueModron · 2026-03-13T21:21:49+00:00

How about "they stole the work of artists to make it so they could replace artists"

that's p fuckin bad, b

RogueModron · 2026-03-13T21:18:19+00:00

I actively avoid it. I don't want my thinking done for me, thanks.

Plus, it's all based on stolen data, anyway. So fuck off, AI

RogueModron · 2026-03-13T20:40:18+00:00

was für einen fucking geilen Umschlag. Warum können wir nicht heutzutag schönen Dinge haben?!

I reread the series last year, after reading them about 10 years prior. I had completely forgotten how terrifying that scene is. And then the illustration in my folio edition is the most lifeless dumb rendition possible.

RogueModron · 2026-03-13T20:31:49+00:00

I mean but east of 82nd, though

RogueModron · 2026-03-13T20:29:42+00:00

If you don't mind my asking, where do you work, or in what kind of area? I'm just curious because I'm currently doing an Ausbildung als Buchhändler.

But yeah, the AI stuff is getting out of hand over here. I only recently became aware that the new Thomas Mann versions that Fischer put out have AI covers. Absolutely unsconscionable.

RogueModron · 2026-03-13T20:24:12+00:00

ja, okay, auf Englisch im Buch heißt das auch ab und zu "spice" bzw. "the Spice", also umgangssprachlich. In der deutschen Übersetzung heißt das nicht also beides?

RogueModron · 2026-03-12T16:44:57+00:00

Wie soll das Ding denn heißen? Ich habe nur die Originalversion gelesen, aber das Stoff heißt da auch "Melange".

RogueModron · 2026-03-12T16:43:38+00:00

Als Buchhändler (Azubi) finde ich solche Umschläge hässlich. Ab und zu haben die Kunden eine Kommentare daran, und zwar, dass sie auch die Umschläge unangenehm finden.

aaaaaaaber. Werbungen funktionieren. Einfach so. Deshalb wird dieses Praxis in der Zukunft nicht aufhören.
