I use lemmy primarily. I’ll use mastodon for the occasional watch party, but otherwise I’m inactive there. I’m currently exploring both loops and Pixelfed, but not sure how I feel about either yet. I’ve been meaning to look into peertube, bookwyrm, and neodb.

Yes, but have you considered that it’s much sweeter than algebra classes?

At one point gore verbinski was trying to get an adaptation of bioshock off the ground as well. He couldn’t get the financing unless agreed to make it pg-13, but he was only interested in making a hard r-rated version.

Fun fact: This was actor and contortionist Doug Jones’s first role.

Something like this happened to me once before. I sent a pm to the tracker staff to ask about it; they responded that a leecher had a borked client causing it to repeatedly download the torrent again. I suspect something like that is what is happening here.

I live in one of the states that required a prescription. I drove across state lines last week to get my booster shot. Looks like if I had waited a little longer I could have saved myself a three hour round trip.

Forgive the pedantry. It’s *taut.

Ah. Apologies, I didnt pick up that it was ai generated, though I should have.

What’s the etiquette in this situation? Should I delete the post?

That guy is, no joke, the son of jd salinger.

This is my first time encountering his work. When I read the title of this post, I interpreted it as “artwork title - credited artist”. so I thought that “the internet’s sweetheart (for understandable reasons)” was the title of the artwork in the thumbnail.

It would indeed be perfectly understandable why that crawling mummy thing would be the internet’s sweetheart though.

I believe op is referring to Bakshi’s Fire and Ice, not martin’s books. The rest of your point still stands though.

Didn’t it take Stephen king something like 30 years to finish his dark tower series?

Good luck!

Honestly? You’d be surprised at how helpful it can be. I’ve sent routes with a slight buzz that I never could have done completely sober. It helps take the edge off the fear, and it helps you stay loose and keeps you from sapping all your strength from tensing too much. Every advantage helps when you’re pressing your limits.

Climbing while excessively drunk is of course a terrible idea.

I recommend the book On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers. Sounds like it’s exactly what you’re looking for.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on Clark Ashton smith if you are up to going into more detail. He’s one of my favorites and I so rarely see him mentioned. He was a contemporary and friend of both Robert e Howard and HP Lovecraft, and I personally found him better at sword & sorcery than Howard and better at weird fiction than lovecraft.

Algernon Blackwood’s “the Willows” comes immediately to mind. It’s about two men traveling by river and forced to camp on an island. The wilderness surrounding them is depicted as supernatural and malevolent. This one is public domain I believe.

T Kingfisher wrote a book called “the hollow places” that took inspiration from the willows and modernized it. I found this one enjoyable enough, but rather slight. Ymmv.

Adam Neville’s “the ritual” takes place in a forest. Or so I believe - I haven’t read it, but I love the movie adaptation. As I understand it though the movie took liberties with the source material and differed in key respects.

It looks like eggplant.place is a primarily English instance. I don’t know if there are any others.

Love this game. It took a while for me to get into it but once i did I was hooked. As noted above the gambit system was a stand out and led to some deep and rewarding gameplay. And a shout out to whoever worked on the translation and localization. All these years later and I still remember how impressed I was by the quality and by all the care and attention to detail that went into it.

I don’t know who out there is dying for a return of cephalids, but whoever you are, this set is likely your last, best hope.
