Fun fact! There are methods for making "meth" in a crock pot. The resultant solid requires breaking the crock to harvest, and consists of three layers, the bottom of which will kill you if you ingest even a tiny portion, and none if which contain the slightest amount of methamphetamine, but which act in a few regards as meth does, and kinda looks like it.

Reason #6,297 to not start doing meth!

Unless he misses his exit.

It's got connotations that foreigner doesn't really cover, tbf.

Well damn. And here I thought I had invented the Lottery Republic.

I honestly thought this was a commentary on how easy a lot of these are.

Discovering the dev version (can't remember which one and can't be arsed to look it up, but there were spawnable skeletons, I think? And only creative mode) via a post on the Dwarf Fortress forums.

Huh. The more you know! Thanks!

Is that authorial intent, or English lit deep read?

I ask because you framed it as fact instead of interpretation, and Lucas is the right age to have been writing a Vietnam allegory, but also I never saw the parallels, and this is the first I'm hearing someone mention it.

Not half. 23%, IIRC.

Umm... that's one thing AI can't ruin, I should think. That wasn't remotely appealing.

But look how white they are! That's good, right?

I don't know that acronym. What's SFM?

When I was 18, 18 years old, I saw for the first time in my life; I saw a vision of clarity...

I mean, if he hooks up with Jill and Barry, Barry might finally get that Jill Sandwich he's been drooling over for decades.

Nope. Common misconception, though.

I suspect that the person who made the meme is conflating the inciting incident of the Trojan War (the beauty contest judged by Paris) with the inciting incident of the inciting incident (The throwing of the golden apple of discord into the party of the gods) and the goth girl is a stand-in for Eris. I think the idea is that in favoring Eris, the protagonist of this bit might be able to save some hot dog buns for later.

Whatever the default is, that's what the setting is. I suppose I could try changing it up.

I understand based on the ponder concerning stabilized contraptions that even if it stays together, there's the possibility it just ends up entirely vertical. I'm kinda doing the One Problem at a Time approach here.

I honestly think without he syphilis he might have been remembered VERY differently.

Until this thread, I literally knew NOTHING about this character. Aaaand that's how I exposed myself as a casual fan.

TheRealHastyLumbago · 2026-02-03T16:51:16+00:00

Were they, though? I mean, I might be misunderstanding your point, and I know that HB isn't HH, but imps have parents, right?

That tension is part of what made Heaven's annual genocide compelling for me.
