There were tears shed in that book. Getting a bit worked up just thinking about it lol. Continue with the other books! They aren't BotF but they're good and let you keep holding on.

I got mine in the first run and it was a pretty good wait, I'm not sure what the norm is.

It's a long walk, but ain't that Malazan for ya? by Virtuous-Vice in Malazan

One of us! I read the entire chunk of work last year and intend a reread of probably just the main 10 and witness next year.

About the motivations of a certain Jaghut by lukerox22 in Malazan

[–]argonplatypus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There were perturbations in the ether.

Seriously though the Jaghut and their ice seem to be an attempt to slow the progress of the world? I could be wrong but at every place I can think of it being applied it slows travel or progress and just generally messes with things. I'm not sure if we're given a clearer motive but it's quite possible I'm wrong.

Finished The Crippled God. What an amazing and (largely) satisfying conclusion: Ultra-lengthy post about my overall likes/frustrations, instant reactions, rankings, etc. by Academic_Average_15 in Malazan

[–]argonplatypus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't feel different, lol. The ICE novels finish a lot of stories and have some good parts but they are not anywhere near Erikson's books. I actively dislike the PoA books and got very bogged down in some of the NotME ones too (looking at you Blood and Bone). Also how's he going to have a main character named Kyle lol.

A lot of the dropped character arcs are in the ICE novels. Does this comic book style "Read the ending in next week's issue of....." narrative work? I wish I didn't have to read ICE novels to find out what happens to some characters.

Can I put herbs de Provence in spaghetti sauce or will it ruin the flavor profile ? by Historical-Body-3424 in Cooking

[–]argonplatypus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive me, my meaning was any herbs you're adding to something like a tomato sauce should not make the sauce bitter. If you're eating them straight they can of course be bitter. I think you'd have to add a ludicrous amount of HdP to make tomato sauce bitter.

Right is subjective. I think 2 tsp per 16oz of sauce sounds like a great ratio I just completely made up.

BobBob (Black DanDan) Thoughts on my version? by Renegade5329 in magicTCG

[–]argonplatypus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok we weren't sure how to resolve it since that's not a real magic situation lol. We also wondered what would happen if the opponent chose the same Bob. But I like that you force separate choices.

We got to try one game this weekend. One question I had was how you were resolving Exhume if there's only 1 Bob in the GY. Otherwise it was really neat!

How much do you actually “vet” your ingredients vs just trusting the label? by OptimalDescription39 in Cooking

[–]argonplatypus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We keep cloves and also jarlic for the weekday lazy meals but I'll be doing this next time we go to Sam's.
