some goon did a play by post of a very detailed military simulator tabletop rpg, pitting various weapons against the 30-50 feral hogs to see which would be effective in stopping the gunner from being overrun

The ar-15 barely scratched the surface of the hog horde. The machine grenade launcher did pretty well I think. I'll have to dig up the link to the thread, it was fun

Less a tale but the AGDQ threads were classics if you want to see imps dunking on perverts with high quality posting

yeah the imp zone doesn't produce stories per se, it's just really loving funny

the sims thread where TLD makes everyone a sim based off their avatar and makes them live in big communal houses together is incredible

found another one



this one might actually just be a self-purchase though

got my suspicions on who bought all these (given that they happened after the IK'ing) but it might steer to closely into Brigading and Noticing to be legal to speculate

charitably, insanely so, the Stephenson books are supposed to be "what happens after the ending is extremely obvious and is an exercise for the reader to derive". I think this is bad but it's what he does

e.g. diamond age, the protagonist's surrogate mum gets rescued from the computational sex orgy so the unrestrained nanotech Seed program never gets compiled. this is presented as a very abrupt stop in the action, leaving any normal reader completely dissatisfied

the baroque cycle had some epilogues which was nice but the actual plot crescendo was also pretty dense and abrupt

New sun owns a great deal. Long sun also owns a great deal. Short sun owns the most? I think so, anyway

Started reading the commonweal books, rattled through the first three. Pretty good stuff although the ethics of wizardry stuff is not always what I am after. The slotting of wizards into the economy without wrecking everything was great though

there's been three avatars mentioned - two recently and one that sebmojo alluded to in passing from 2021. so yeah it's not a one-off, but there's about 50-odd previous avs showing on the goon av retrieval site. i figure the sleepyboy would have mentioned if they were all self-buys
