My wife bought me marmite fudge for Christmas one year and even as someone who could eat the stuff out of the jar with a spoon it was loving disgusting. Godspeed, braver goons than I.

I was in Bath the other week and kept wondering into a little fudge shop but never got round to buying any so I've ordered some presumably much better UKMT fudge to make up for it.

Camrath posted:Goddammit, and here was me being smug about pushing back the boundaries between fudge science and fudge madness. I like marmite peanut butter, and I even was okay with that kinda weird marmite hummus so I for one am confident that marmite fudge is cutting edge science rather than madness.

I do think that sometimes it seemed that Banks just really liked writing overly graphic scenes because the culture novel with the virtual hells had some pretty hosed up stuff in there that didn't really seem to need to be described in quite such detail to make the point that hell is, in fact, bad. I can't actually remember most of the novel though so this may infact have been a point about religions gloating over sinners being punished.

Are those tweet quotes real? I definitely believe Darren Grimes is dumb enough to react like that but it does all look a bit too good to be true.

Red Oktober posted:I really liked Inversions, where you piece together right at the end that it's a Special Circumstances mission seen from the other side.  ok, I think I need to go back and re-read these from the start. I do remember eventually figuring out what was happening in Use of Weapons, but I think I just read them all when I was too drat young and a lot of detail went right over my head. I am of course vaguely worried it will *still* go right over my head. I don't think I've ever been good at noticing subtle details throughout the years

Looks like it's going to be an incredibly destructive few days in parliament, with the Higher Education Bill last night, Saj trying to push the new NHS Health & Care bill through it's 2nd reading, and a tory mp scheduling a ten minute rule motion next tuesday about the 'farmers can shoot dogs' bill, presumably to suggest amending it to let farmers into peoples homes to shoot their dogs.

That Hodges thread is a wild ride, just blindly and in all confidence telling black people that actually they don't understand the mechanisms of racism.OwlFancier posted:This isn't related to anything but if anyone ITT is looking for a fun videogame to play, they just released the 4.10 version of Warzone 2100, which is free and open source.

Oh drat, I remember this. I don't much like strategy games, but the head of Pumpkin Studios was a friend of my dad back in the day, so I got a look around the studio and a free PS1 copy of the game back in the day; I still have it on my shelf.
