The idea of that tublord climbing on top of a filing cabinet is pretty hilarious

It's baffling that somehow for-profit monster hunters are the good guys rather than the government employees providing a public service.

sky shark posted:Why? We have private contractors doing pretty much everything for the government these days, from intelligence gathering & analysis to direct action missions overseas to providing security to cooking meals. Later books show that the private groups are filled with their share of shitheads too, just like there's assholes in the Monster Control Bureau. Yeah PMCs probably aren’t the best example to use when trying to say privatization is a good thing. Also I meant specifically more how gross and predatory it is to demand payment from somebody before killing a monster threatening their very lives. Like if animal control refused to deal with human-aggressive cougars until they got paid off, but worse.

Proteus Jones posted:The government pays them, and other companies like them, a bounty based on some actuarial tables or something and/or get hired like exterminators by businesses. "We make the rest in contracts set up with various municipalities, organizations, and private individuals with monster problems." sure gives that impression.

Of course this dork has weird calibre hang-ups and thinks that true men only use .45 and .308

Choco1980 posted:it's basically the same principle as buckshot, wherein the payload isn't the bullet, but rather inside the bullet to do it's damage piggyback style, correct? Noooooot really. Buckshot is just a bunch of balls, sometimes held loosely together by a plastic cup or wad of paper while in the gun. Once you fire, the shot itself leaves the packing material before hitting your target. It's basically just a bunch of small bullets all at once rather than a single big bullet. There's not really any piggybacking since they don't strike as a single mass, they strike as a bunch of individual projectiles close together.

sky shark posted:It's gun porn for gun people featuring people with guns killing monsters. What concepts are giving you difficulty? The part where it’s very bad at being something worth reading, even for somebody who is a gun person that likes the idea of stories about shooting monsters.

Samizdata posted:Nope. They were a long lived early race that quickly hid underground a lot. It was only post Sauron/Saruman that they really came topside much. No dude Morgoth kidnapped a bunch of elves and weaponized them into orcs. It's right there in the Silmarillion. I don't remember where goblins come from, that was a lot more vague.

Why would vampires need to be invited into a building that is explicitly not a home? Sounds like Julie is the real vampire thanks to her tax evasion scheme draining the lifeblood of the nation.

GruntMountain posted:I mean, Sad Puppies did try to get one of Tingle's short stories shortlisted for a Hugo but he refused the nomination. Chuck Tingle proudly accepted the nomination and has been putting "hugo-nominated author" on his books ever since. He did say that he wouldn't be able to attend the awards and that Zooey Quinn would accept it for him if he won.

Everything about Thrall is just the dumbest sort of thing. Even his use of thee/thou is bad and wrong.

And then after he saves the world by watching other people do all of the work, he murders an unarmed and potentially innocent man in cold blood.

You’re forgetting that thou/thee are the informal forms and Thrall would be using the formal you/ye for a man he does not know well and considers an enemy.
