Otoh i have about 600 scfi/fantasy ebooks i used to cycle through on shift... the entry bar was quite variable, i've read better fan fiction in some cases.

kingturnip posted:I enjoy the film of The Martian, but I'd also pay good* money to watch a version scripted by KRS-One. Incidentally, two years running at Crufts when West Midlands Police did their cop dog demonstration, they used 'Sound of da Police' as their intro music. I guess they never once bothered to listen to the rest of the lyrics.

Mr Phillby posted:I feel like thats misrepresenting Casey and Andy a bit because its not interesting enough to be weird and horny with any consistency. Andy Weir draws crude, amateurish pin-up art of his tedious webcomic characters, calls it "cheesecake" and proudly posts it on the internet and I will continue to bring this up whenever The Martian is mentioned online

Turns out anyone with questions about Casey and Andy can consult the ridiculously detailed wikipedia page, which is presumably what happens when the kind of people who normally want to write a wikipedia page about a webcomic are no longer bound by having to justify notability. No see it's by a famous author, we need a colour coded table of which arcs every single minor character was in. I gave up after a couple paragraphs tbf

Like about 15 minutes passed between finished tensioning the sprockets just right so that a chemical coated piece of plastic film could be moved past a lens at 8 frames per second without tearing itself to pieces before someone decided to get their cock out.

iirc the best money-abroad option is pre-ordering for collection, which narrowly edges out using your credit card and making sure to press "no" whenever the tricksy card machines offer to helpfully charge you in your home currency

fuctifino posted:https://twitter.com/jrc1921/status/1643905499660787713 Labour would run more efficient concentration camps. tbf the clip does cut off just before flaps makes another point, which may or may not be a moral one. Still, leading on the argument that the barge doesn't sufficiently deal with the problem is labour in a nut shell. Also, if they found enough barges and camps to incarcerate 100% of 'the backlog', would labour be happy?
