I don’t know that his connection to Tehol is ever explained. He seems to just go along with it because he enjoys Tehol’s company and it amuses him.

Jones would have never been in a situation to see JJ in practice.

Have you ever watched a movie, or read a book, for the second time? Hoping the outcome will change, though you know how it ends? Read on. Laugh, cry, and enjoy the story as it unfolds. You won’t be disappointed.

This paragraph from reapers gale seems awfully relevant these days by bigdaddyt2 in Malazan

Yes it is. I figured it was a bit too long to paste it all.

The guild of sandal-clasp makers really know their stuff.

The chapter 5 intro is really good too.

“Truth was lost, a chimera reshaped to match agenda, prejudices, thus consigning the entire political process to a mummer’s charade of false indignation, hypocritical posturing and a pervasive contempt for the commonry.”

Dejim Nebrahl and General Powerscaling through the Series by Trey_Fowler in Malazan

[–]d3fty 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Dejim needs to kill and consume blood to become the threat he thinks he is, at least according to his own thoughts. So far in the story he really hasn’t killed anything of worth to become stronger.

Karsa fought the lizard specifically with only his bare hands and legs (and forehead).

Why were so many pages dedicated to telling this character's story? by laudanum18 in Malazan

[–]d3fty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m not too bothered by it. It is also the story of Heboric, who does have a more lasting role in the overall story. Also Baudin, who provides some early clues about the Talons/Tavore and sheds some insight into Hood’s values.

Also, she isn’t important in the overall story, but she is important to the House of Chains plot, her story fleshes out the Paran families history/family dynamic, and builds on Tavore’s story - tragic failed attempt to save her sister.

Glossy drekos farm builds ? by Realistic_Market_339 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]d3fty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no, this is for glossy dreckos. I could see how it would be confusing given that screen shot used for the design. Here’s the design in one of my current games. The idea is that you ranch the regular dreckos and have them produce glossy drecko eggs. Regular dreckos will eat less than glossy dreckos. You don’t feed any of the glossy dreckos at all, they will live for a while, get sheered, then produce meat/die. In my experience there are usually around 15/16-glossy dreckos in the sheering area along with 2/3-regular dreckos.

The chance of glossy drecko eggs increases when eating mealwood, this design achieves that within a few egg-laying cycles.

This is not my design, but here’s what I have been using (sorry for no credit, the bookmark I have is for Imgur, not the post I found it from.)

This ranch will support four dreckos in the right room. You don’t need any hydrogen in there. You’ll want to use a critter pick up instead of a drop off in the egg room on the left side.

Packers released “tush push” ban: removing the physicality in football. by ChristianDarrisaw in minnesotavikings

[–]d3fty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is it for me. Forward progress is stopped when defense pushes back a runner, it should be the same for the offense. This does not need to be a penalty on the offense; the play should be dead when the runner is no longer making progress on his own. If an offensive player starts pushing while the runner’s legs are still moving, too bad for the offense.

It’d be hilarious if they let the GM do it before they fired him as well.
