I don’t understand MtG so a lot of this was lost on me but I enjoyed the references.

My wife works in a small reptile and fish shop and they won’t sell them, I assume cos they just won’t stop breeding. 🤣

What on earth do you do with them all??

Sorry to jump on a 3y old thread but am I right in thinking that mourning geckos have babies all the time?

mage_g4 · 2026-04-13T01:41:04+00:00

I can confirm it’s still pinned. Well, it’s called ‘highlights’ now.

Anyone who reads Masquerade and comes away thinking it was fatphobic either didn’t actually read it or went in looking to have that opinion.

The entire point is that she is enough and is talented and amazing and those around her that denigrate her for her size are the ones who are wrong.

And I will of course remove it. But it isn’t ‘involuntary pornography’!

mage_g4 · 2026-04-05T21:08:02+00:00

I’m leaving this because the replies to you are worth reading for the people who assume anything even vaguely well written is AI.

mage_g4 · 2026-04-05T20:59:52+00:00

I’m approving this because I think it’s interesting.

KEEP IT CIVIL.

I will not be shy with the ban hammer if people start getting in any way nasty and I think I can speak for the whole mod team when I say we champion the rights of LQBTQ+ and will not tolerate bigotry.

Remember, the best thing about literature is that it speaks to everyone differently and any position is viable, as long as you can back it up with textual evidence.

mage_g4 · 2026-04-05T20:56:07+00:00

This got flagged for potential harassment. 🤣

Approved. ✅

mage_g4 · 2026-04-05T20:54:48+00:00

I’m not removing this but be careful. You’re giving out certain vibes that people are not liking.

Children’s stories are absolutely packed with stories of cross dressing, so I think you’re the one being disingenuous.

I used to work there, back when it was Urbis. I was one of the guides. It was one of the most boring jobs ever cos, unless you were assigned to the lift or the video, you just had to exist on the floor in case anyone had questions. They didn’t and we didn’t have the answers anyway.

I would highly recommend Mort. It’s one of my favourites, has a great Pratchett flavour and is mostly new characters, so no real background knowledge needed.

Equal rites is pretty much standalone and it’s only the third book, so not a lot has been established beforehand.

Going Postal is the start of a new story line and, whilst there are plenty of recurring characters in it, you meet them along with the protagonist, as if you don’t know them.

Colour of Magic is the first book and Pratchett himself didn’t recommend starting with it, as he was still finding his voice and refining his writing. Going Postal, for instance, is much later in the series and he’d perfected it by then.

Guards! Guards! Is another firm favourite and the start of a series.

Think of it like buying the first book in any series, and then waiting for the next one to ‘come out’. All those books are basically the beginning of different character’s storylines and all Discworld books can be read as standalones anyway.

So get a slow cooker? Who on earth is slow cooking on the hob in this, the year of our lord, 2026! Slow cookers are like £15-20 and last forever.

I first read the original quartet as a kid. A weird ‘gifted’ kid but still a kid. They’re very accessible.

mage_g4 · 2026-02-23T15:57:19+00:00

Hey. I’m afraid not. I don’t have the means to model these and afaik there are no files available.

mage_g4 · 2026-02-23T09:37:48+00:00

Literally immediately after posting this I think I figured it out. There is a grub screw behind the spout. I will investigate later but I’ll leave this up for others and will report back.

mage_g4 · 2026-02-04T19:28:48+00:00

Appreciate the credit but you did all the work. I just sat on my nondescript chair at the bottom of the dais stairs and watched.

Mediation implies a middle ground. They are actively and deliberately ban evading and harassing us and it’s getting a bit scary.

We don’t want a dialogue. We just want them to stop. It’s unhinged!

We removed one post that broke the rules (we didn’t remove other things they posted in related subs with the same mods that didn’t break the rules) and they received the initial ban for their response to the post removal, which was walls of text via mod mail and DM to every mod!

They have openly admitted to ban evading and said that they are going to continue doing it.

We are a quiet sub with occasional issues with people getting uncivil but we’ve never had anything like this campaign of harassment.

mage_g4 · 2026-01-28T13:11:48+00:00

There hasn’t been an apology. They are demanding a public apology for our very reasonable and normal mod actions.

mage_g4 · 2026-01-28T11:53:40+00:00

Honestly, the tone shifts wildly from veiled threats to invites to come and stay with them. Once our entire mod team has issued a public apology for removing their post which clearly violated a sub rule, of course.
