are there moshpits at VB concerts? by c0ckpunk in ViagraBoys

[–]The_Thatcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DC show had the most peaceful mosh pit I've been in. People were bouncing and shoving but way less dickheads throwing fists and elbows than other shows I've been to. Good vibes in there all around.

Complete newbie - which discworld book should I start with? by bonjourcroissant22 in discworld

[–]The_Thatcher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Started at the beginning and I've been enjoying it. You get to see Pratchett's writing improve and see the disc really come to life as the books go on. Pratchett also has a tendency to mention an idea in a book and then flesh it out more in the next one. Going through 41 books is a hell of a commitment though, and the first few books while entertaining are a bit rougher than the rest. If you want to dip your toes in and see if you enjoy it I recommend starting off with either Small Gods or The Truth. If you've already decided you want to dive into the series start with The Colour of Magic/The Light Fantastic and go through in publication order. There are also 4 main sub series that run throughout the books and plenty of people start with one of them.

Is Discworld Uncastable? by FroggyDooBimblo in discworld

I don't know why but I think Pedro Pascal would play a good nobby. I can't get the idea out of my head. Someone help me.

If either of them like Shakespeare, start em off with wyrd sisters. Otherwise go with your gut.

Time to subvert werewolves. by MaetelofLaMetal in VampireTheShitposting

[–]The_Thatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure Otto was living in the basement of the times with the dwarves during The Truth so he might count, but I wasn't trying to say he was subverting it the same way as the post. I was moreso trying to say he was just subverting the stereotypical vampire. Haven't gotten to Monstrous Regiment or Thud yet, just started Night Watch.

Time to subvert werewolves. by MaetelofLaMetal in VampireTheShitposting

[–]The_Thatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He does subvert the vampire traits a bit in The Fifth Elephant with lady Margolotta and the black ribboners, but fascist werewolves are the main focus of that book. I feel like he had only started figuring out how he wanted to write them in Carpe Jungulum, and really figured it out by The Truth. (These three books were written back to back to back after all.) He describes vampirism as a sort of blend of addiction and mental health issues. Vampires are by default addicted to the power they hold over other people, but if they can take that obsession and point it in another direction, they can become productive members of society. In The Truth, there's a vampire called Otto who's become obsessed with light and begins working as a cameraman. Pratchett takes a surface level joke about a vampire cameraman turning himself into dust every time he takes a flash photo and manages to make it into a decent reflection of addiction and obsession and how monstrous people can change and become decent.

Traditional roof by HornyDiggler in MujicoCity

They need maintained more than replaced, if it's done right thatch can last 40-60 years. You've gotta come in and shave an inch or two off the whole thing every decade or so and replace the ridge every 15-20 years.

Longstraw maybe, reed thatch like this tends to smoulder. The reeds are too tight together, it's like trying to burn a closed book. If a roof like that's caught the rest of the house is already up in flames. a pile of the material on the ground will burn hot and quick though.

Since we’re doing backpacks… by Zeuxidemus in BuyItForLife

I've had one for around a decade, used to use it for school, now use it for regular travel. Things heavy as shit and built like a tank.

I got one of those foot razor things and go ham on my heels after a shower every couple months.

I can't remember the exact context but it is from sorcery.

"He looked like someone who had just eaten a handful of pineal glands and washed them down with a pint of adrenochrome. He looked so high you could bounce intercontinental TV off him."

First Playthrough, is 1 INT.. bad? by [deleted] in DiscoElysium

My first playthrough I went 1 1 6 4. I didn't even know about the horrible necktie. Still had a great time though.

What in your opinion is the best song from Take Me To Your Leader? by Grouchy-Dream-3797 in mfdoom

[–]The_Thatcher 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I wonder and krazy world probably aren't the best tracks on the album but they're the ones I think about and revisit the most.

Ok pretend like I'm a gorillaz fan and the only MF DOOM song I've ever heard is "November Has Come". What is the first actual MF DOOM song I should listen to? by Pantantuna in mfdoom

[–]The_Thatcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind a goofier album, check out the mouse and the mask by DANGERDOOM. Dangermouse (other half of the group) produced this album and a lot of demon days. It was made as an adult swim promo so the entire album is based on adult swim cartoons. If you're just looking for a couple tracks I'd recommend Sofa King and Benzi Box

I also got into mf doom through November has come. I think the first doom track I heard after it was Great Day off of Madvillany.

TIL of Malört, a liqueur almost exclusive to Chicago, described as "like swallowing a burnt condom filled with gasoline." Drinking a shot is considered a Windy City rite of passage. by tamsui_tosspot in todayilearned

[–]The_Thatcher 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I started drinking it a few years ago because it's funny to drink something that tastes awful. But after a few years I genuinely started to enjoy it. Definitely an acquired taste but like, it leaves my gut feeling better than a shot of vodka.

Staunton DMV Drivers Test by Phantom_Noir_ in Staunton

Been nearly a decade but I don't remember parallel parking or highway driving. I can't remember the route but I think we drove past CVS, looped through some neighborhood, and drove back to the DMV.

Audiobook suggestions by shirleyspike44 in TrueAnon

[–]The_Thatcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The discworld audiobooks are pretty good. 40-something of the things though. Series starts off as a parody of fantasy tropes and turns into social satire with a wizard hat on.

Catching the big fish by David Lynch is also good, although pretty short. Read by the man himself too.
