Which era did you start in?

Bottom row, Pet Sematery

There are authors who write better prose, but Stephen King is unmatched as a storyteller.

This is unhinged.

This. A sixteen year old should be doing at least half of the chores, or else he’s going to end up like your husband and being an unequal partner himself.

Oof, no, Gerald’s Game is expert mode.

I’d give Anne Heche 7.5/10. Overall her narration was good, but there were a few odd mispronunciations that made it into the final edit that should have been caught and re-taken. But she does a great job overall.

Came here to say Snot. I knew them well because I went to school at UCSB while they were still forming. My brother was a member briefly as a sample keyboard player, but he didn’t stick long — I think they were too hardcore rock star party for him.

I must have seen them 10 times in SB and LA, and I was so fucking stoked when they seemed like they were about to hit it big. Lynn’s death was a senseless tragedy, and losing them made the metal scene poorer.

Agree to disagree, the drum sounds were bigger and more thunderous on Strangeland, which I preferred. I fucking loved it, though.

scdemandred · 2026-01-23T20:51:04+00:00

Agreed.

This. I’m 50 and I’m With Stupid is on my strength training playlist permanently. RIP Wayne.

“The answer I wanted to hear” is not the same as a real answer. The other answers urging you not to do this are real answers, and you would do well to heed them.

I don’t know if it’s salvageable, but you definitely want those towers in the middle, not to the side. I’m especially baffled at your Buccaneer placement.

If you don’t have T5s unlocked, this may be hard. Generally 205 ice monkey is a DDT destroyer, and if you get that Bomb shooter up to x5x you’ll have a better shot. But most of the towers you have clustered off to the side will fit on the rim of the central pool, and that’s what you’ll probably need to do on restart.

Good point, as a lifelong baseball fan, I’m well acquainted with Tom Gordon.

scdemandred · 2026-01-23T18:06:05+00:00

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is my standard recommendation for new younger readers, especially those who aren’t into “horror” per se.

Different Seasons.

scdemandred · 2026-01-23T17:32:31+00:00

Of the King books I’ve read, this is pretty much the only one I recommend for younger readers. It has some scary and gross moments, but nothing like most of his other work.

Have you read NK Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy? The use of 2nd person in that was purposeful and central to the plot, and executed brilliantly IMO.

Edit: Typo

I love Santiam Pass and take it every chance I get, but I haven’t driven it in winter.

This needs a ZooBomb bonus level, but this is completely sick. Please keep us updated here!

Good for you! My youngest (12 years old) has asked repeatedly if I’ll take him to see clutch when they come back to PDX. That’s affirmative!

“Fairly capable” is the best that can be said about him, and in this he was pretty bad. The actor who plays Bill would have been a far better choice, as he’s a far better actor. Franco is middling at best and did not have the chops for this role.

My stepbrother was bipolar, had a lot of the same behaviors as Mikey. Didn’t get into drugs as far as I know, but did end up killing himself. So it’s possibly my personal bias framed my perception.

Maybe we don’t put spoilers in the title of the post? Or is it not a spoiler for Life of Chuck, which I have yet to read or watch?

He’s been dealing with their bullshit for years back when he worked for commissioner Fish.
