Some good choices on there, if #1 wasn’t on the list I was gonna complain. Could definitely use some Mahler and Schnittke and I’d choose different works for some of the composers but solid overall.

K’chain Che’malle. Fricken’ dinosaurs with fricken’ sword arms.

They’ve got Seth Dickinson as part of the writing team and literally everything I’ve read of his is fantastic, including game stuff and his novels and short stories, so I’m hopeful.

That or tags or something, I’d love to be able to block sports/anime/AI “art” altogether without my blocklist being gigantic

The Lies of Locke Lamora is just begging for an Ocean’s Eleven-type treatment.

Sorry for your loss :(

This one is old but never fails to make me laugh, hopefully it helps at least a little:

“Quoth the Raven, ‘What the fuck?!’”.

Right, I get that, it’s just that that particular incorrect usage annoys me more than most.

“Would of”, “could of”, and “should of” infuriate me for some reason.

The Queen is Dead is the only Smiths album I like, the others just don’t do it for me.

I respect your opinion, but hard disagree - SFTD is good but both Villains and (especially) …Like Clockwork are better musically and lyrically imo.

The video for Pump It is also amazing

Take my opinion with a slight grain of salt because it’s been at least a decade since I read the book and a half of the series that I got through, but from what I recall the books just didn’t really have much to them - flat characters, awkward dialogue, and the actual prose itself was pretty bad. It was also boring enough that I just didn’t care about anything that was happening, and I’d read enough good fantasy by the time I read Eragon that its flaws were hard to look past - I know the dude was a teenager when he wrote it, but that doesn’t make the work magically better. Not trying to shit on anybody’s parade, but it just really wasn’t my thing.

I don’t know about worse, but the Eragon books and movie are equally terrible.

Wow you spelled that next line really wrong

Can you just declare yourself a “triple-A” studio before you make a game?

Indeed actually does, although whether they actually give a shit is an entirely different thing.

Malazan Book of the Fallen, Gentlemen Bastards series, most of Neil Gaiman’s work, The Library at Mount Char, the Baru Cormorant series, Gatsby, Flowers for Algernon, and most of Plath’s work - I go back to most of those every few years.

That or when the range is so huge as to be meaningless - a $25k-150k range is completely useless.

Bojack Horseman is now an NPC in EVE Online, probably gives distribution missions for booze and drugs.
