Samsara Final Girl

local girl invents new way to be sad

only a fool would name herself after the jealous, capricious goddess of confusion, and as god is my witness, I am that fool.

also, I think it's got a nice cadence and is relatively unusual

aye, i've heard that about his work, which i'm wary of. i'm traditionally a Fantasy Hater lured into Malazan by the quality of the writing. i'm open to giving them a try, but after Erikson's talent, anything lesser would be disappointing.

i've not! i'm planning to make a start on the other series after I finish this BoF reread. that the best ones to start with?

it also strikes me that I have no idea what their world is called, unless it is actually just Burn herself, but that's like calling earth gaia

attempting to diagram the timeline, passing out, waking up screaming inside dragnipur

without downloading any new pics, describe your gender

kallor claims to have walked the earth since before the t'lan imass were children. what am I missing here? I thought he was just a very old human, a race that came after the imass

‘Who finally came to their senses and buried their damn canoes once and for all.’ ‘You are sounding uncharacteristically irreverent, Hetan.’ ‘I’m about to puke on your boots, old man, how else should I sound?’ ‘Ignore my daughter,’ Humbrall Taur said, hide-wrapped feet thumping as he approached. ‘She’s been bested by a Daru.’ ‘Do not mention that slug!’ Hetan hissed. ‘You’ll be pleased to know he’s been on another barge these last three days whilst you suffered,’ Whiskeyjack told her. ‘Recovering.’

I forgot that its canonical that Kruppe can Fuck

Sworn to defend! Spawn of Anomander Rake – gone! Leaving a blood trail, leading the Edur away with the spilling out of their own lives – oh, where is Anomander Rake? They call for him, they call and call! They beg for his help! ‘He’s busy, I’m afraid.’ Anomander Rake, Son of Darkness! The Edur have sworn to destroy Mother Dark. You must warn him! Poisoned souls, led by the one who has been slain a hundred times, oh, ’ware this new Emperor of the Edur, this Tyrant of Pain, this Deliverer of Midnight Tides!

when you check you haven't accidentally put the podcast on 1.4x speed but it's actually just @bosh.worstpossible.world getting mad at matt yglesias on ill concieved

SHIT I FORGOT DISCO ELYSIUM

yeah, i think DE would just about edge out PST too. I think where I was at in life when I played them is important in that. the interrogation of "what can change the nature of a man?" moving to the declarative "i don't want to be this kind of animal anymore"

SHIT I forgot planescape torment

we must destroy britain immediately

🖤🖤

hey, no, sappiness is appreciated. hope quitting weed goes well for you, the first few days are always rough.

getting back on the horse that threw you is always a struggle, especially when the rest of the world looks like its on fire, but you have to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.

I really need to play sunless sky, as i loved sea, but something didnt click with me immediately about it.

it's worth seeing through the end of citizen sleeper 2, but I can't imagine replaying it like i have the first. the scale just feels less personal

its wild that there isn't a Live and Drink water bottle in qud merch yet

did you play 2 yet? it's enjoyable, but it doesn't hit in the same way for me. it feels more like a Sunless game, which is fine, but I don't.feel as strongly emotionally bought in to the sleeper.

I have to hope so. rebuilding a life is always possible, it has to be, or what's the point? I feel like I'm slowly unfolding the intricate origami my mind folded itself into for the best part of decade, but sociality is proving the hardest to recover, which is heartbreaking when it used to be easy

citizen sleeper lfg!

the idea that I might never fall in love again scares me more than anything else on earth, but the idea that I may never recover my social skills comes pretty fucking close.

mario kart 8 is objectively better, but 64 is my nostalgia. the og theme park and civ could be in there too, not because they were particularly great, but they were the first games I really remember locking in on.

ok, so that's supposed to be kotor 2, but it wasn't available in the search options.

it was neat playing it a few years after it came out and getting like ⅓ of the way through and going "ohhhh I get why this made so many people realise they're girls"
i keep wanting to replay it, but idk if it could ever hit as good a second time.

absolutely insane autocorrect, bestie

Nietzsche: every single person on this can and must take responsibility for the terms within which they exist and why, an entire species has the potential to superhuman by living with vigorous intent

people who can't read for 140 years: I am going to become a dolphin hitler

I have to leave this island for climes where people are attractive. no one knows my pain. imagine being charmingly angular in a nation where the most broadly applicable adjective for the people is 'doughy'

it was like discus of sadness

aye, frozen are generally pretty dreadful. this had the texture of dehydrated ice cream.
