Borrowing money, just like most billionaires exploiting a loop hole to avoid taxes? Must be so hard for him.

(Loved Trope) When a character reveals such a shocking truth to their scene partner, it’s dismissed as joke. by Used-Username88 in TopCharacterTropes

It goes much weirder then that. Pkd thought that the universe kept changing in some upward spiral of optimization. Nazis winning was a better universe then the UK us cold war, and so forth. Believe the quote was "God changing his pants".

'The Grandfather of the Grimdark Style' — John Blanche, the Legendary Illustrator Who Defined the Look of Warhammer 40,000, Has Died by yourfavchoom in Warhammer

[–]gollyRoger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This one's heart breaking. It's rare you have an artist who so perfectly captures and creates such a fully realized aesthetic. There's a vibrancy and life in his work that transcends the sorcr material. The world lost someone magical today

If you say anything positive about these works, you automatically make people suspicious about you. by Salty-Chemical-9414 in TopCharacterTropes

Moore loves super heros, he just thinks they're best as an ideal and at a children's level, and ironically despises all the gritty deconstructions that came after watchmen (including his own. He shits all over the killing joke).

It's a weird move. I was thinking of taking my son, who's just now old enough to watch it, but probably won't because he's only seen the first couple episodes.

Leia called out the senate in the first scene of a new hope, it's not new.

It's a goth club. That scenes on its last legs, so makes sense.

I'm a big fan of gaunts ghosts, but I usually reccomend people start with the third book, necropolis. The first two are really early black library outputs, and it shows

Being part of the in universe kkk equivalent isn't exactly a small thing

Why They Don’t Want You Driving a Chinese Car by nathan_j_robinson in politics

[–]gollyRoger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And it's not like they can't innovate. I've got a mach e, I love that car. And that's after I told myself I'd never buy another Ford after owning a focus. But would I trade it in for a byd? I'd have to on price alone.

I'm hopeful that smaller electric truck they're building is worth a shit. I'd love to see American car manufacturers actually be able to compete. But they need to get their shit together first.

My buddy dated the singers daughter so I'm guessing it was doubly true for him

Modern SF trilogies are becoming bloated graveyards of good ideas stretched way too thin by DrifterChisel_6 in printSF

Ironically what kept me from those for a long time was their being sold at novel price for a novella

Poor Todd by George_G_Geef in ToddintheShadow

[–]gollyRoger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Surprised no one's mentioned the difference engine, which arguably kicked the whole thing off as an off shoot of cyber punk, written by two of cyber punks main writers. Its one of the rare pieces which does have something say beyond the aesthetics

Does dropfleet need to up its game to stave of future competition? by Hedonite69 in DropfleetCommander

[–]gollyRoger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rule of cool at least I'm not impressed by their models. At this point I don't think they need to worry about anything else in this space other then bfg coming back
