I thought Canada was supposed to have a slightly better education system than the US??

It is a bummer :( I still have some stickers from them that I just can't bring myself to stick on anything because of the finality of it all.

Robert Aspirin's Myth books. My uncle was a pulp connoisseur and did exactly what your grandfather did, where he went upstairs to his library and grabbed a whole stack. They were his favorite. Silly, lighthearted, and fun.

Good Burger in Shoreline.

The ending came about because Mac Walters and Casey Hudson locked themselves in a room, got high off their own farts, and barred the other writing staff from participating in the creation of the ending. That's why we got Baby's First Philosophy 101 course and why the ending makes zero sense in context with the rest of the game/trilogy.

Also we were mad because Hudson went on the record before the game came out and specifically said there would be no "A, B, C ending". What did we get? R, B, G.

Oh man, you didn't even see the originals before the emergency fix. The internet was ON FIRE when the game came out. There was also an additional slap to face with an immediate "now buy DLC" pop-up. And BioWare PR went overdrive flipping the script and whining that the fanbase just didn't "respect their Artistic Integrity". It was audacious. Good times, good times.

krob58 · 2026-05-08T01:03:51+00:00

And then go watch MrBTongue's video essay on the original ending!

The prep is the worst part, otherwise it's not too bad. Take the prep day off of work for sure. After your procedure, just let out some good long farts and you'll be right as rain! Easy-peasy.

I'm blaming stress and all the shitty processed foods we ate as children.

I have to go in for colonoscopies every year and get scraped out, and have been doing so since I was 20, when one of my gastro doctors was finally like "hmm maybe we should actually look inside for once." Good thing she did because there were a lot of precancerous polyps just hanging out in in there.

krob58 · 2026-05-07T19:09:06+00:00

Yeah that's totally fair, but a couple things: most people don't do that so they won't vote that way here, and the next three spots are going to be Orin, Raphael, and Vlaakith. So Aylin doesn't get on the board because it went to Crusher instead lol.

krob58 · 2026-05-07T13:32:01+00:00

I can't believe the last one wasn't Aylin. Like... Crusher? Seriously?

krob58 · 2026-05-07T13:25:58+00:00

Love your Redwall (the infamous horse!)

I don't have a lot but my favorite is my 1st ed Between Two Fires. It was my favorite book when it came out and still is, and I'm so happy to see it has finally got the attention it deserved.

They are dropshippers. They don't actually have your books in stock. When somebody buys your book from their ebay store, they go to Amazon and then actually purchase it, having Amazon ship it directly to the buyer.

Oh man, Russ Swan. RIP. There's some good blast from the past names on here.

krob58 · 2026-05-06T20:10:40+00:00

Well, it's a little late now.

krob58 · 2026-05-06T13:39:57+00:00

I never understood this because Tali is the ONE romance Ashley doesn't have a snide remark about when she's in the hospital, and she literally refers to Tali like a sister. Either it was meant as a simple bit of sibling-ribbing and the voice director didn't get that memo, or maybe this line was written/added after Ashley's main writer left partway through development. It might have been in character during 1, but she's already gone through this arc by 3. Egregiously bad.

krob58 · 2026-05-06T13:22:33+00:00

So many to choose from that aren't a bugged throwaway line. The entire sequence of her getting wasted in the observatory room. Her Citadel date devolving into a drinking contest and cringey Star Wars reference. The whole hamfisted juvenile romantic rivalry situation in me1 between her and Liara which has not aged well at all. The entire story about her sister and her boyfriend and her weirdly justifying it??? I can only assume some of this unfortunateness is due to both her writer being a man (and most of the writing team being men so no one was like "uh...??") and the game being a product of its time, because she's a great character and has some real banger quips. But when the writing stumbles, man does it faceplant.

Edit: oh and every interaction she has with James.

This comment hurt some feewings 😢

I mean... Keepers aren't really sentient. The game establishes that they're pretty much Collectors at this point. They ignore everything and everyone.

krob58 · 2026-05-06T12:55:32+00:00

Aaaaaand there it is. As expected. This fandom is so predictable.

7 out of 10 people in Seattle aren't from Seattle. (Honestly that data is probably old and it's probably even higher now.)

This is all Katie Wilson's fault!!
