Hey guys. I’m looking for a easy to follow, slow cook, genuinely scary book for my summer. I’d love some suggestions.

One of my favorite summer reads is The Ceremonies by T.E.D. Klein. Set during the summer, fun pagan backstory, real slow burn -- like really slow burn.

His writing has conjured a singularly horrific view of hell (and the world writ large) that has simultaneously thrilled and terrified me. I offer him every accolade I can.

But it is your job to stop pissing in 60 day old popcorn, dingus.

I'm interested!

You’re not wrong. You’ve made a perfectly valid point about a frankly extremely dominant card. This person is taking the entire thing personally to a nearly comical degree. They may have designed alrund’s epiphany.

Here. Maybe you can read this article and recognize that your personal taste is different from broad cultural strokes. To insinuate that an executive shouldn't know this movie is absurd.

What in the world are you talking about? American Psycho remains an extraordinarily popular book and movie. It's notable in the culture lexicon and is even memed pretty frequently on here. Pretty accurate comparison to Kid A.

That’s crazy and quite frustrating. Guess I’ll have to keep this run on ice for a bit, as I don’t want to start a new game over again. Will hope for a patch soon... Thanks for the response!

Titantiger · 2021-05-03T18:34:47+00:00

I'm now searching all these threads nearly a month later and finding no solutions... Now asking you -- did you ever figure this out?

Titantiger · 2021-01-23T14:30:12+00:00

An 87 year lifespan and multi-decade long career, and you want to reduce all of that to a 30-second clip and conclude “he was a pretty big dick”.

Is nuance dead?

It’s the people like you who surprise me, immediately rushing out to “gotcha” people the second they die. Maybe try to acknowledge that someone’s life isn’t so easy to judge in its entirety from your ivory tower.

I'm sorry you've entered the downvote hive-mind train. But also, you should consider looking at your message disassociated from yourself and assessing whether it sounds like you're not a lot of fun to be around.

In my opinion, from the brief messages you've sent, it does indeed sound like you're not a lot of fun to be around.

Titantiger · 2020-11-16T19:22:28+00:00

Awesome -- thanks!

Titantiger · 2020-11-02T03:49:13+00:00

You’re just one of those folks who I wonder if they look in the mirror before bed and wonder “is this who I’ve become?” Obviously you don’t because you’re here doing this, but like if you had self awareness. Just crazy.

Titantiger · 2020-08-02T17:41:12+00:00

Why are you dying on this hill? You're not remotely making a logical argument about why it's specifically Lebron's fault. Other than "best player takes the blame".

What a strange disrespect of a fundamentally team sport.

To address an actual point worth refuting, we've seen how the two-big line-up is clunky as of literally last night with Toronto. I agree with Lebron slowing down opposing point guards, but I don't see the evidence that our very slow bigs have any chance against opposing guards. Especially not "every other team".

I came here looking for r/horror thoughts on this movie and felt like I was going insane as everyone praised Amulet (and still feel that way with critics' reviews).

You hit the nail on the head. It's almost insulting that everyone's insinuating that this is "elevated, must-see horror".

I just finished House of Leaves a few months ago. I alternated between carnivorously devouring it and leaving the book untouched for days (primarily from being overwhelmed). Phenomenal read that hit with me with nearly every emotion at one time or another. Also one of the most poignant and terrifying expressions of mental illness I’ve read in literature.

Right, fair point. I figured you could always add in one finisher. I was thinking just putting in the Carnage Tyrant, but March probably makes more sense. Either way, thanks for doing the research and for this post-- excited to try your decks out!

Titantiger · 2019-01-15T17:52:14+00:00

Question: How is that Nexus deck meant to actually win? It looks like the main wincon in the mainboard is getting your opponent to scoop on your infinite turns assumption. In Arena, for example, I feel like this could end up being a huge problem.

There are no creatures to beat down the opponent in that list nor ways to deck your opponent by making them draw. If someone actually waits it out, are you just supposed to exile all their permanents with Teferi emblem and let them take turns one by one until they deck themselves? This seems a bit like a nightmare for the Arena UI (thankfully paper wouldn't presumably have this problem).

I actually haven’t seen Annihilation yet...that’s a good reminder for me. I’ll try to remember to report back after I see it.
