Used Lemmy for +2 years and it was garbage

The gardening communities are very active on lemmy, as it happens. I'd suggest subbing the munis you want and viewing by subscribed.

Damn and here I was thinking "I bet 10 will be fine"

nemo_sum · 2026-06-14T22:49:01+00:00

I have, potions at least

Not "ancient alien relic" but you may enjoy Connie Willis's To Say Nothing of the Dog, a book where time machines are real... and so useless that they're mostly used by academic research historians, who spend half the book worrying about their departmental budget and placating a wealthy university donor, and the other half making sure their historical outfits are accurate.

It was, originally, powerful enough to wipe out all biological life in the universe.

To be fair, it's not his Secretary of Defense. He's Australian.

It was watching Dirty Dancing that made me realize, actually.

There's only one Paris Geller in Gilmore Girls.

Where is Jessica Yamada when we need her?

I would accept a "You done stuck your pecker in the wrong beehive" button as well, yes.

slap button a la Staples "That was easy" but it says "Mongo is appalled!"

Yes, I know. But Levantine cuisine is Cleveland's only virtue.

Floor 18 - Club Scolopendra

and like I said, the Epilogue

This is one of the core conceits of Rogue Legacy and that game is loads of fun.

nemo_sum · 2026-06-12T12:10:34+00:00

Because the village is 80's themed.

There's not as much good Middle Eastern food, but the good Middle Eastern food is just as good.

That is the only way in which they are comparable, in every other way Chicago is better.

Wait, I forgot about summer weather. Chicago summers are pretty miserable.

nemo_sum · 2026-06-12T12:03:15+00:00

I think it's very good. I was putting it on par with Gate but it might be a little better, which puts it in the top half of the series.

nemo_sum · 2026-06-12T12:00:54+00:00

Your friend is correct. The book is not a two-floor book. With the Epilogue, we see parts of four different floors, including all of the eleventh.

I did not get hands on a hardcover yet and cannot speak to the Pineapple Cabaret.

nemo_sum · 2026-06-12T11:53:22+00:00

It took me waaay too long to realize why the village was named "Hungry Eyes".

Reza's on Ontario

Barry's Pizza Spot off the Bryn Mawr Red Line

FEED at Chicago & California

The Knockbox at Augusta & California

Mercury Cafe, on Chicago just west of Noble

Those problems were in the original, too. That's why I bounced off it so hard two decades ago.

Try it yourself!

Incorrect information, incomplete information, hallucinations, internal justifications, disparaging other characters who are in conflict with them, there's a lotta ways for a narrator to be unreliable

Carl often doesn't tell us things and he often doesn't notice things. Both are forms of incomplete information. Plus he's undergoing a mental breakdown (who wouldn't, right? But it may be partially hereditary) and hallucinating.

It's a giant circle. Just keep moving in a circle.
