Looks like someone found out that virtually nobody in the MBC actually gave a poo poo about doxxing, Mittani being drunk at fanfest, crappy books, crappy beards or anything else. For a few people it was about revenge but for the rest it was about sweet sweet isk, or simply bandwagoning.

After that it all goes a little downhill, which is sad, but not surprising. Dude, Night Watch was the best book in his entire run. Also I don't see Small Gods in that list.

I did all the disworld books about two years ago. My favourite has to be "feet of clay" Especially the gnome who happens to be the best rat catcher in the city because he is so small that he can follow them into mouse holes and hunts vermin using a crossbow. I didn't care for many of the witch books though I think they improved greatly when Tiffany Aching became the main character. I love the Feegles and their antics.

FruitNYogurtParfait posted:alzheimers and he killed himself over it I know what you're talking about because of this chart  And the alzheimer's suicide sucks. I'm pretty sure dementia will get me and my plan is to have my artworks around so I can continue working on them without having to constantly ask what the gently caress is going on. Unlike a written work where you really need to keep track of where you left off. For an artist their artwork is as familiar as their own face in the mirror.

Those books mark the point where he switched to dragon dictate due to typing being exhausting/hard for him, and there's a notable dip in quality. You can't even compare Snuff to Night watch, or even Thudd in terms of writing quality. Internal monologues went from being pointed views into the internal thoughts of the characters to these quagmires that rambled on for pages and pages at a time. There's a lot of discussion about the lack of editorial quality in his last few books here on SA in the book barn thread, so I'm definitely not the only one who noticed it.

If this thread were any gayer, I'd pay Chuck Tingle to write a book about it. I love you all. Also, I am channeling my inner VideoGames atm -- the very first timed challenge I got from the Serpentis event was to mine 100,000 Scordite. So I'm AFK orbiting a few rocks in highsec in a quickly-put-together Procurer while I eat my breakfast

Did you really invoke Chuck Tingle without suggesting a book name? Total party foul. I'm a bit partial to something like "How I learned to love the Apocalypse, by being pounded in the butt with one."

Today's comedy of errors: * Got a limited-availability Shadow of Serpent challenge: Mine 100,000 scordite in one hour * Throw together a buffer-tanked 2xDDA procurer and hop into 93PI to start chewing rocks, am largely AFK for 20+ minutes * Less than five minutes after coming back from AFK, I get jumped by a pilgrim and rapier from CE * Put drones on the rapier, he warps out after exhausting his XLASB charges * Pull drones, deaggress, drop mobile depot. Swap DDAs for WCSes. * Warp off from pilgrim's scram to station * GF in local * Repair, return in a bit, and finish mining with no further attempts at molestation * Hit the 100,000 unit mark with 4 minutes to spare

Actual quote from the author: "I just like to think about how love is real for all who kiss, and sometimes that leads to other things like pounding inside a butt. ... It’s not gay if it’s a man and a dinosaur with abs, or maybe a jet plane, and that’s okay too -- everyone kisses sometimes."Orange Red Bull posted:+1 copy of Pounded in the Butt Don't forget his sequels: * Pounded In The Butt By My Book "Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt" (Mar 29, 2015) * Pounded In The Butt By My Book "Pounded In The Butt By My Book 'Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt'" (Dec 5, 2015) * Pounded In The Butt By My Book "Pounded In The Butt By My Book 'Pounded In The Butt By My Book "Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt"'" (Jan 18, 2016) * Pounded In The Butt By My Book "Pounded In The Butt By My Book 'Pounded In The Butt By My Book "Pounded In The Butt By My Book 'Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt'"'" (May 8, 2016) And his most recent erotic masterpiece, which went up for sale on the Kindle Store, a mere five days ago: Pounded By The Pound: Turned Gay By The Socioeconomic Implications Of Britain Leaving The European Union.

I'm expecting Myrms  HABIT questionnaire item number 12: You are on a gate in nullsec in a gang of 25 cancer interceptors. An Onyx decloaks and burns back to gate. What should you do? If you're a Goon and you said everyone should aggress instead of sending someone through to catch it on the other side, you win! https://zkillboard.com/kill/54859645/

number 13: You are on the same gate and the FC says half of you should have jumped through for that Onyx, but good job anyway. An Ishkur decloaks and burns back to the gate. What do you do? If you're a Goon and you said everyone in fleet should aggress instead of doing what FC JUST advised, you win! https://zkillboard.com/kill/54859667/

RLML Onyx with a 36km scram will absolutely loving murder a solo inty in the ~45 seconds it takes for everyone to deaggress. Gotta send through like half the gang, not just one inty. (Also, jesus, that's a terrible fit, wtf TEST) e: Also, wasn't HABIT the corp that ended up falling for a scam and giving their entire corp wallet to an RPer?

I didn't understand where all the fitting went until I exported the zkillboard fit to EFT. It should have lived through the crash but for some reason it overshot the gate by 4km before dying. It was definitely in range of activating the gate.

ullerm is already owning in a dual rep Vexor so I don't see why you'd want to go to a Proteus that has so much buffer you'd be better off with a Fax than a local rep. People tend to not fight you if you're in something with an obvious active rep tank like an Eos.
