In Turkish they* say

it jumped out of my hand 🤷‍♀️😎

instead of

I dropped it 😬

kinda like how we say accident instead of crash

*the folks I knew at least

I still haven’t seen the last one with Napoleon Dynamite, but I have seen and enjoyed the rest. I love the camp, what can I say 😎

Can I just get a solid sequel or reboot on tremors?

Don’t get me wrong, I love the camp it descended into, but the first one was great because half of the magic is that the characters were so ordinary and mundane (instead of wisecracking graboid hunters).

Fuck it what am I even saying, slap that face hugger on el blanco and giddy up!

Every frog has its thorn

the government is not allowed to provide a service for free that a company can charge for

I am beyond mildly infuriated by such an idiotic stance, but it tracks with what I’ve seen.

RIP postal service you’re next.

Haha that’s me. I wasn’t at all interested in dying over and over and I only tried it to prove I was right.

But damn it’s a full spectrum experience, especially all the dirty and cheap stuff that other games are afraid to do (TWO grafted scions on the ceiling!?) makes the victories all the sweeter.

But we why know he belongs here haha.

Worf sends son away disappointed he’s not Klingon enough. Son comes back with his Klingon cranked to 11. Worf now disappointed son is not an orthodox Klingon warrior cast in his image 🤷‍♀️

Plus he’s also a super shitty brother 👌

This statement is something that I dont understand

I’ll try to help fam. The hungry deserve to eat and they have the moral high ground over the ownership class that would rather that person starve and the food they stole destroyed.

Reminds me of this

German must have its own share of disappointing terms.

Pferd comes to mind as an example. I really expected something more metal like horzdraken or comical like hoofenstreider. But no, just a boring Roman loan word.

Gah what a fucking tool.

Well at least he isn’t getting paid when I rewatch Ace Ventura 2 on plex 😎

FWIW, Moorcock discusses often in his forewords living the hellscape of post blitz London as a preteen. I highly doubt he would ever co-sign on another nazi regime.

Haha so right. My original draft lamented how the psychedelic, pansexual, spy with a little gun Jerry Cornelius only lives on in the pale echo of Austin Powers. But then I thought it was too niche.

But ya The Final Programme was my first literary introduction to homosexuality. The weird psychotropic defense towers on the Cornelius estate may have been my first introduction to mind altering states too.

The original velvet suited dandy from swinging London (imo):

Shevek, a brilliant physicist, decides to take action. He will seek answers, question the unquestionable, and attempt to tear down the walls of hatred that have isolated his planet of anarchists from the rest of the civilized universe.

I must say this recommendation is delightfully on theme, nicely done 😎

This caught my attention

A Wizard of Earthsea is one of the most beautifully written books in the English language.

I’m a total sucker for beautiful prose, especially Gormenghast.

Do you have any memorable lines that stuck with you?

Stormbringer is Elric’s famous sword. You can hear someone shout it in GoT when Joffrey is about to name his sword. It’s evil and drinks the souls of those it kills, passing some of the energy to Elric.

Anyways. Elric is a sickly inbred albino prince of a an ancient , evil, and decaying empire (aka Fantasy Britain). Without his evil sword he is a total weakling pushover.

And people think this is a white power character/symbol? Blows my mind.

That’s way harder.

There’s always his iconic anthihero Elric, or the modern incarnation Geralt of Rivia. I like The Vanishing Tower (Elric IV I think) as a standalone in-media-res story.

I personally enjoy the really weird stuff in Blood: A Southern Fantasy.

Behold the Man won him an award and I thought it was a thought provoking novella, at least for its time.
