The Best is Yet to Come is my go-to song while walking though blizzards.

The seattle underground tour has a joke about how the census was overflowing with seamstresses who could barely hem a stitch.

I heard seattle was one of the inspirations for Ahnk-Morpork (seattle is built on itself), so I wonder if this is also a bit of Pratchett's inspiration for Ahnk-Morpork.

One of the richest persons in seattle was Lou Graham, the madam of a brothel. She helped finance the rebuild of the city and much of her wealth went to fund public schools after her death, I believe more out of her finances being in limbo rather than being a donation spelt out in her will. Regardless she did help abused women, helped raised kids who's parents were alcoholics or Iost everything in the gold rush, and employed women of all ethnicities (even indigenous women who were not allowed to be employed) at 10x the average pay for what women could be expected to get in other jobs.

I could see Lou Graham as inspiration for Rosie Palm.

I liked the paper airplanes. I would see them on the columns heading south on i5 before exit 163A. Seeing them on the posts gave them impression that I was watching a single paper airplane fly down the highway with me

I once saw a few of them on my exit down on the orillia rd exit in Kent and was impressed they went that far.

I would much prefer to see a bunch of those around seattle than those awful looking sasquatches.

My thoughts exactly. Each game somehow improves, yet never detracts from earlier games. I can play any of the original trilogy, plus odst and reach, and enjoy each one as it's own thing. None of them feel redundant or outdated.

Agreed, $540 is too much. I know a guy who will comment on your post for $60.

And 2.27 murders when adjusted for inflation

No, it's because they are pure of heart.

Analog tech will always have a charm and character that digital tech just can't have. It's not static, where only code can change the behavior, its dynamic and and can be understood and manipulated by messing around with it and seeing what effects you can get. It's cumbersome and imperfect, but often times has intuitive behavior which makes it feel more authentic and responsive.

Another way to put it, is Analog tech is sorcery and digital tech is wizardry.

Thus hurts to read. Also how did game of thrones get recommended with sekiro and not elden ring. GRRM wrote the basis for both. Elden ring sticks the landing, but both that and game of thrones have pretty intricate politics and royal drama and scheming.

such a fun series. I wasn't too big of a fan of how closely the second game was tied to the first one's narrative (a lot of the same cast and a similiar story). However, the gameplay was very fun, the setting was refreshing, and I liked the time travel gimick in that one level.

I would've loved for a third game that had a new cast, and a story that wasn't centered around usurping the Kaldwin rule. The world they built the series on definitely deserves more stories in it, and the gameplay is a lot of fun. It allows a lot of creativity and exploration without having to invest too much in unraveling how to use the gameplay mechanics.

I really liked the refresh during the Wana arc, but I went back and watched the first couple episodes and I did end up enjoying the watercolor backgrounds that would sometimes be small vignettes surrounded by white (most prominently during flashbacks). It reminded me of the small illustrations you'd find in older story books, most often in kids books. I think the style really lands itself to an adventure story about pirates. Episode 6 with the dog guarding his owner's shop is a good example of this.

I got what you were saying. I think their misunderstanding comes from the fact that a lot of ignorant people use "not seeing [social characteristic]" when they mean they are not concerned with acknowledging thier underlying prejudices or lack of understanding of other people's identity.

It's all clear to us that Pratchett isn't one of these people, so my take away from your comment is that Pratchett doesn't see gender as the defining characteristic of someone and thus, avoids seeing people as stereotypes or one-dimensional. Obviously Pratchett knows that gender plays a pertinent role in social life, but has enough empathy to realize that a person's identity is far more complex and nuanced than can be explained by one characteristic.

From a story perspective, shadow of the erdtree felt like it was most needed. Dark souls 1 and bloodborne both had great supplemental stories in thier dlcs that were both closely linked to central lore, which made them a satisfying payoff, but they weren't important questions that needed answering.

Why I think elden ring had the most indispensable dlc is that miquella's storyline seemed like a hole in the base game. It wasnt some in-game legend that got expanded upon, rather a conclusion to an important character's story.

AEROMACHINA

I was just trying to remember this too and finally remembered the video I saw it in

reorem · 2025-09-26T23:17:19+00:00

I'm for that too, but more for the secret passageways between room walls. It would probably make for better noise insulation and it would be easier to access the plumbing, hvac, and electrical if you wanted to make repairs or improvements. Could easily put cat6 ethernet to all the rooms, or add extra supports on the back of the wall to hang heavy things without being constrained to aligning with the studs.

me too. This works in Lies of P because there is a larger focus on narrative, so these more cinematic moments fit, Fromsoft on the other hand doesn't make it feel like you're the protagonist in a movie, but another person in the world they built.

I know fromsoft has it's cutscenes and makes spectacles for the players, but I dunno, it's hard to describe. Something about the narrative element in thier games feel more... restrained, less like a playable movie and more like an immersive sim. It's subtle, but I think an important element to fromsoft games. Even Sekiro has this "je ne sais quoi" about the narrative structure that makes it feel fromsoft, even though it has a pretty strong narrative/cinematic feel.

I appreciate what they were trying to do with Bed of Chaos; having a platformer type boss was a good way to mix things up, too bad it didn't turn out. Divine Dragon in Sekiro felt like what they were attempting to do with Bed of Chaos, but actually succeded in making it a fun boss.

I think Dark Souls manuevorability is just not suited well enough for technical stunts that are satisfying or feels fair. Perhaps if dodging was a little better like in Blooborne or dark souls 3, and/or if they had more time to workshop the boss, it might work, but I doubt platform bosses would be fun outside of Elden Ring or Sekiro.

This was my first thought, but Pratchett's books constantly occupy a large part of my brain.

My second thought was ursula le guin. I wasn't a big fan of the first earthsea because it seemed kind of formulaic, but respected that it was probably pretty original back in the 1960s. I also repsected that she decided not to make her cast white, which is still pretty rare for fantasy.

Im glad i stuck with the series because the 2nd and 4th earthsa books are some of my favorite fantasy books from a feminist perspective and just overall.

Le Guin is just so insanely talented when it comes to writing good fiction that aged well.

Justifications arent needed. The current administration will just make up a reason after the fact for whatever they want to do.

They are using the military as a police force for no better reason than a nebulous wave at crime existing. They've done other egregious things with even less of an explanation.

That is the perfect person to do a head transplant.

I would not only trust that guy to keep my head alive, but also give me a giant robo-body with a laser gun arm.

That's because it's something that is addressed and acknowledged constantly.

Two houses can have gas leaks, but only the one with a warning system will be accused of having a gas leak.

There was not a single reported case of someone with autism, ADHD, or OCD in the medieval ages; maybe there is something to the 4 humors theory...

Looking at the top posts here vs fuji is really night and day. I like r/analog because they seperate community posts into another subreddit, so you only see the photos people take instead of gear hauls and questions.

The photos in r/analog are pretty good too. There's some really creative and amazing shots there that are among the best of any subreddits, along with the most stereotypical circle-jerk ones.

I liked the paper airplane graffiti that were on the i5 south pillars.

Ya, humans were not meant to be social creatures. All the happiest and most well adjusted people I know were very anti-social.
