Arcsech posted:I'm surprised they didn't offer to replace it for you or give you a deep discount on a new one. They don't really give a crap about the hardware, all the money is in the book sales. For Cold Days and the last Wheel of Time book both started working between midnight and 12:30am PST for me. I'm assuming about the same for this one.

DSkippy McPants posted:Well, some of it can be heaped on Harry. He's always been a misogynistic prickbag, and traditionally that manifested as white knighting and low level creephattery. Nothing super overt, but defiantly present and it's not a huge stretch to see that going to a much darker place under the wrong set of conditions. Dang dude tell us how you really feel about an NBA sized wizard hating women.

Skippy McPants posted:Oh gently caress off, I'm not making some impassioned screed here. Dresden Files is pulpy fluff, but that doesn't mean I'm going to switch my brain off whenever I hit something in the text which is undeniably lovely. I enjoy the series, and I can do that while still being cognizant of its shortcomings. Bro look through your history. That poo poo is like, 90% of what you post in here. I see a post about it and yep, there ya are. We get it, you want gay rape vampires and harry to be gay. There's fanfics for that.

mastajake posted:Well to be fair, there's only like two male sex vampires, right? Thomas and his dad? The rest were killed by his dad or are on the fear/despair sides of the spectrum. Unless I'm forgetting some of the others? 0/2 doesn't seem THAT bad for a distribution. Thats 0%! We demand more gay rape vamps!!!!!

thrawn527 posted:Unfortunately I'm visiting family this weekend. So very little free time.  you are so hosed man. Take some loooooong bathroom breaks bro. As far as the Skinwalkers go, Navajo and most of the Native American mythology is filled with extremely freaky poo poo. I grew up here in the southwest so I don't think about it but it's always interesting to see the reaction that people from other parts of the US have to the local stories. Also funny is people from the east coast having the complete inability to pronounce the tilde and their subsequent hysterical readings of street signs.

Man I just finished up that 20 Palaces stuff and now I'm sad there aren't more of them. Why would a publisher drop them when they publish so many other terrible books?

I feel like im the only person who didnt like uhhh peter grant? the main dude in the london underground series. He just sorta seemed needlessly cruel, petty, and just a poo poo person to me when I read the first 3 or 4 up to where they went to some bording school for black magic that was abandoned then spent a bunch of time in a guest cottage and there mighta been a lovely mermaid

I asked him how he does so well with the technical details of firearms, and apparently he got into shooting to some degree. He's American. We are all born clutching a gun

Seriously? yeah i do. lets be honest theres a ton of these novels that you can skip through quickly since he basically rehashes the same stuff a lot especially as descriptors. this stuff is basically airport level fiction in terms of complexity. its not hard to read quick!

Olesh posted:I'd put Peace Talks and Battle Ground combined at shorter than First Lord's Fury. I'm too cynical to treat this as anything other than some combination of a cash grab (he hasn't published in a while and has had many expenses in the intervening period) and an attempt to appease people looking at his lack of output ("See? It's not that I wasn't writing, it's that I was writing TWO BOOKS, which explains why it took so long!"). capitalism claims another wizard
