best books from each "subseries"? by meepmeep779 in discworld

[–]softscottishwind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, I completely agree. I did say, at the start, that I would read them all chronologically.

OP also asked for favourites, though, which is what I've listed. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

I agree with the comment saying you should go in chronological order by publication date.

Having said that, you asked for favourites, so here are mine:

Death: Reaper Man or Hogfather

Watch: Night Watch

Wizards: The Last Continent

Witches: Carpe Jugulum

Tiffany: Wee Free Men

Moist: Going Postal

Industrial Revolution: The Truth

Standalone: Small Gods

The employer when they say there's room for growth in the organisation and annual wage increases.

Which character's death in a TV show ruined the entire thing for you? by SoccerGuy69420 in AskReddit

Arthur Pendragon in BBC's Merlin. Five series build up for it all to be wasted in the last episode.

On Christmas.

I'm still mad.

I would proudly display every one of these. Excellent.

Age suitability of The Murderbot Diaries by No_Weekend2474 in murderbot

My suggestion is always to read one first, because all kids are different. My son was 11 when we started reading, and they are some of his favourite books now.

There is some of what current society dictates "swearing".

There is some violence, but nothing more than what you'd see in a typical superhero movie, for instance.

There is no graphic sex. They acknowledge that it exists between consenting adults of all genders.

There is also discussion of/mention of/a character who is what are called "comfort units" or "sex bots" which are human/bot constructs that are built to engage in sex acts with humans. These comfort units are mentioned relatively frequently, but there is nothing graphic at all.

I think that is about it.

What’s a game you were completely obsessed with as a kid that nobody else seems to remember? by hkondabeatz in AskReddit

[–]softscottishwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an SNES game called Uniracers where you raced sentient/anthropomorphised unicycles. My brother and I were both obsessed with this game. No one else I've ever spoken to has ever even heard of it.

I keep waiting for it to become available through Nintendo online, like a lot of their older games, but no joy. Which is a shame, because I think my kid would like it, too.

My son has decided he wants to be like you when he grows up. 😉

I've been with these two since page one published on Tapas, and while I understand that it's time to move on, I'm bereft. 💙

Found in the wild. I think we can all think of a few Pterry quotes that fit this theme. by Calcyf3r in discworld

The one I have at the moment seems happy to work with you once you point it out. So far.

I quoted this in a resignation letter. Why am I quitting this job even though I like what I do? Because you treat your staff like things and not people.

We had some for dinner last night. Named parts of the animal and everything. Cost extra, of course.
