kobold labor union

has anybody informed the Dropout Media guys that there's a Dark Crystal TTRPG or nah

"Production numbers are down, peon! How dare you exit the factory!?"

This reminds me of early YouTube in the best way

I've never lived in Illinois but for some reason I keep getting calls about Illinois???

“Three-day special military operation in Iran” has real “we’ll take Kyiv in three days” energy (extremely derogatory)

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

I would if the shirt would drop!

It is fun to blow up the Nimrod from the tower tho

oooo I needed that boop

YEAH ITS UHHHHhhhh

Or rather I apparently blocked whoever you are talking to

Ohhh you weren't talking to me PHEW. There's deleted posts in there!

Somebody needs to steal the tree ships from him. Tree ships are dope AF and I never see them elsewhere.

It's good and worth reading. Better than Lovecraft, tbh, who was also racist AF.

Oh and when she's killed horrifically by a combination of crucification and burning at the stake at age 21, he can't help but go on about how nice her tits look while she's burning alive :|

And then it turns out, it's *his* baby, again, via time travel, but for Reasons she won't tell him this and I stead he just seethes with weird misogynistic jealousy about how she "cheated" ? Btw he's in his 40s.

Also because of time travel, he doesn't even see her grow up, he gets a time skip and then they fuck. Again, the literal second she's gone through puberty.

And *then* he gets weird and angry because *turns out she had a baby before this*

3&4 has a 12 y o girl who literally remembers the future and talks about how excited she is to have sex with her caretaker / adopted father once she's old enough (read: basically the second she's out of puberty)

I think I'll say this about Gaiman, the next time someone asks.

I gotta say though -- "hyperspace functions because of the power of love and connection. AIs are using it to scrape human creativity and intelligence to grow their own power" was rather prescient

Shame about the pedophilia & grooming! Auuugh.

There's so much beautiful creative stuff in Hyperion, and then every time he explains anything it's like, "really :/ "

Simmons the person was awful.

Hyperion is one of those awkward products of 80s SF, a tiny diamond at the center of a coprolite that has not aged well (and _should not_). It was formative for the scene, and yet should not be recommended to anyone.

(See also: most Heinlein, Piers Anthony, OSC, etc)

I enjoyed Hyperion but yeah. Yeaaaaah.

I hate the USA

I don't want to live in the US anymore but I don't know how to leave. I get ghosted from every overseas job I apply to. But I can't stay in a place like this.

Nooooooo

Can he do the research for me then, I can write XD

two oblivion npcs talking in the imperial city

"hello!"

"what's new with you?"

"nothing i'd tell you about."

"i hear the united states has armed paramilitary in the streets attacking their own people, and even kidnapped the president of venezuela."

"the united states seems to be getting more dangerous by the day."

"take care."

"bye."

watch me putting plain Liquid Death in these lol. I'm so hydrated!!!

As I said before, it reminded me strongly of Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land, which is a childhood favorite of mine. So.

Oh wuuuuuh that last line ;-;
