is there some reason to not just start with the first one?

I actually think Consider Phlebas is a really good starting point to the universe, even though it's not the best in the series. Still very good tho.

I'll read Worm when I can get it as an actual book or at least on my kindle. reading on a computer screen is terrible

i despise indie retro art scum but has there really been an indie game that looks like super mario 64 sort of poly?

NecroMonster
Jan 4, 2009

super mario 64 is actually good art for what they were working with at the time while lots and lots of "indy" game art is actually just loving developer art that never got finished (looking at you especially minecraft!)

a cat's acute vision allows it to see things invisible to the human eye, such as ghosts.

Have you ever been at the supermarket or taking a big dump or something and suddenly remembered something very very important that you forgot about so you just freeze up? Your cat is experiencing this emotion.

no its funny my brother and i were both sitting in the living room watching his dumb cat stare at a random piece of carpet and we both, simultaneously said "oh my god he's retarded" at the same time and ever since then its been really obvious that hes not smart at all

he tries to eat cellophane
he licks the nobs on drawers
and he will pick up food that has escaped from the food dish, put it back into the dish, and then pick it back up from the dish and eat it
