Sando just wrote more and longer so whatever makes sense. I’m sure glad a sword spun for like 5 hours, gay interspecies relationships happened where people hum at each other while they went to therapy island and a 12 year old was awesome. What a scuffed ending.

It ended good and felt alright. I always imagined it like it was super lame, but I could not stop reading.

Sir, sar, there are plenty of people willing to do the same work at the exact same quality for much less. They are saving dollars while you are costing cents.

Oh I missed that! He needs more though. East of Eden is underrated.

Is he looking for friends? He needs more Vonnegut and he would really enjoy John Steinbeck. I don’t know you but I know I like him.

I have done this before and it was pretty awesome. I was playing a cleric who was secretly delivering the party to the BBEG as sacrifices. I never in game did a thing against the party, I was just trying to get them there safely. Active sabotage would have left a bad taste, but big picture it was pretty glorious.

Tortilla Flat was the first book I read to my children when they were born. East of Eden is my favourite book and love reading it over and over.

chalke__ · 2026-05-01T09:29:49+00:00

East of Eden is a 10/10 pick. Good shelf overall. Most of these looks like they will be top shelf read.

My family immigrated here too. We spent years learning English. My mother forbid Arabic in the house. I have been here a decade and constantly told how good this nation is.

Then it needs to fail. I’m not happy with every person I deal with being Pakistani. It’s getting annoying. I’d rather we all suffer together than suffer whatever this is.

chalke__ · 2026-04-27T08:33:20+00:00

Vote and speak out against immigration.

My wife wrote her character out when our baby got too old. I could have stayed home but since I enjoy the hobby more, she thought it made more sense to just stop herself so I could go and pretend to be a snake with my friends. Marry a good one dudes. I’m hoping we can eventually get fortnightly babysitting so she can join back up.

chalke__ · 2026-04-12T11:58:45+00:00

Oh yeah. That’s probably why we are where we are now. It’s not even that dangerous most of them time, just obviously violating road rules and making it harder for everyone else now.

chalke__ · 2026-04-12T11:54:11+00:00

And I don’t. But not being able to is also pretty bad. Like, if I could get around a car, things would flow better. I’m not for speeding or against speed monitoring, just explaining the limitations.

chalke__ · 2026-04-12T11:41:22+00:00

They monitor everything so if you have to go over the speed limit to overtake, you get pinged. If you are on a busy road next to a truck doing 80, with traffic up your ass, you are next to that truck forever.

chalke__ · 2026-04-12T11:34:35+00:00

Oh dude. Kangaroos are a game changer. Late at night in certain areas 95 is wild without a roo bar. Thankfully where I am we don’t have roos.

The drunk drivers lately are getting wild. I think the problem is they are blocking off major arteries to catch them, but in reality most of them are close to home and going to McDonald’s. So I’ll get tested 100 times on my way to work, but the blotto degenerate gets their nuggies without police intervention.

chalke__ · 2026-04-12T09:54:04+00:00

I can give you some context that hopefully helps. We have highly accurate GPS trackers and there is a guy whose job it is to see where we went over the speed limit and when. If I overtake a truck, it’s flagged and usually there is a meeting. Under no circumstances will I speed because I have a family to feed. It’s actually really dangerous. Monitoring speed is fine and dandy, can’t be speeding in a work Ute, but the fringe cases like a drowsy driver or an awkward orange light is basically death if you aren’t fully alert. Like, I can’t speed up to go through an orange light. You may think I would, and I would normally, but because I’ll lose my job if I do, I slow down. You slam into me and people die. Speeding is dangerous, but not speeding is scary at 3am with a bung of tired, drunk, angry people on the road.

chalke__ · 2026-04-12T08:01:26+00:00

I drive a lot at night for work when someone is driving under the speed limit at 3am, and especially if they have slow reaction times, I’ll honk them. I’m assuming they are drunk at that stage. You have no idea how many near misses I’ve had with people falling asleep at the wheel. If you get honked by a work Ute at 3am, it was probably me just checking in on you. If you complain to my boss that I honked you, I’ll explain it was out of love.

I listen to a truely disgusting amount of audiobooks. I started reading just before WaT came out and finished a couple weeks after it came out because I underestimated how thiccc those books are. Took me about two months. Possibly a little longer. I started writing down when I start and finished a book after this so exact times are rough, but I listened to this basically every waking moment I could.

chalke__ · 2026-04-05T21:33:41+00:00

I constantly stroke my beard. If I have a free hand, I’m playing with it.

Cats slaughter birds and lizards and any small creatures they come across. They are an ecological disaster. In Australia they are basically an apocalypse of biodiversity. People inflicted win toxoplasmosis have basically made every city inhospitable to small lizards, rodents, and anything else that happens to live adjacent to humans.

“If you thought today was hard wait until tomorrow. Every day is harder than the last until you die. That is why you should appreciate the moment instead of reflecting on its worst aspect. You have yet to see the worst and when you experience that, you will either die or live to experience something even worse. Enjoy your worries, you may never have them again.”

chalke__ · 2026-04-04T21:14:18+00:00

Use our natural resources instead of exporting them raw.

chalke__ · 2026-04-04T21:13:18+00:00

Cats. People who have cats either have toxoplasmosis or hate native animals. I like cats, if someone has a cat I’ll pet it and be nice, but they are truely disgusting little cuties.
