    Little known fact: We don't have any contemporary source attesting the existence of Hannibal.

    This is how we know he doesn't exist. It was all a conspiracy to get Scipio Africanus elected Consul.

    Loose Change, I think

    That's vaguely depressing.

    Installed a new 2 TB hard drive. Naturally, it is called Shallie.

    there was a puzzle in To the Moon that hinged on an incorrect piece of Animorphs related trivia

    that was weird, and weirder since the trivia was wrong in a very specific way

    whose favourite character was David, anyway?  nobody's.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i gave all my old Animorphs books to my neighbour so she could sell them, to raise money for a planned trip to Japan
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Was David the asshole who got turned into a rat?

    I don't like to accuse people of writing things while high.

    But I think the creators of Rick and Morty were stoned while they did the episode where Rick and Morty watch TV from other dimensions

    Yeah.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    It's weird because he's a pretty obscure character, and you need to answer the question, "what was David's main combat morph?"

    The correct answer is "lion", but the only answer the game will accept is "cobra"

    You can get the answer in the game by talking to River, but she then tells you "you could have googled it".  However, googling it would get you the "wrong" answer.

    Weird.

    (Setting aside this nitpickiest of obsessive nitpicks, it is a really good game.)

    SA making fun of Deboss for the Animorphs thing as much as they did was vaguely hypocritical, because the SA book forum is small and SF dominated.

    Transferring 400 GB of Steam folder to my new HDD. Projected time is 3/4 of an hour.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i feel a bit guilty about that in retrospect

    not that i ever participated, but i kind of liked that joke because Deboss kept saying that lit should be taken off the curriculum and that pissed me off

    kind of petty, with hindsight

    especially the trolly-pushing remarks
  • it b rainin but we're still gonna go to tha farmers market and then i think we're gonna see that spy movie
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Well Deboss deserved the crap he got, but SA wasn't much better.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    SA's approach to culture seemed nearly as cargo cult as TvT sometimes, honestly.

    This progress timer started at 45 minutes. It then moved to 2 hours 50. It's now on 7 hours.

    It's a good book.

    I hope you got the illustrated version.

    It's weirdly naturalistic for how bizarre the show gets.
  • i do in fact have the illustrated version
  • it is very hefty feeling for a paperback
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Mine is a hardcover.
  • i started reading it when i was 11 but 11 year old me did not like it

    which is strange because quite a few of the mental images from what i did read have stuck with me

    Well sometimes that happens.

    At least in the case of Rick's dialogue, it's retroscripted, so that's part of the source of that. I have a feeling it's done like that for a lot of the rest too, though, except maybe the rest of the Smiths' dialogue.
  • i have to say i really liked that clip
  • i like Annwn a lot

    the 'layers of guitar and nothing else' setup is a really interesting one as it lets him play around a lot with complex time and tempo changes and unusual structures but retaining a kind of trancelike hypnotic feel to it, i had the album on and paused it and the room suddenly felt emptier without it playing. it has presence
  • also im a big supporter of black metal tremolo picking used as a droney tactic anyway
  • im glad you like it!

    if you havent you should listen to Krallice too
  • yeah them and khanate have been on my list to check out for along time
  • i say that because Krallice is another Mick Barr project and he uses a similar riffing style there, though it is more traditional (though it's still pretty weird obvs)

    animorphs must be responsible for so many transformation fetishes

    Acceptable casualties.
    y'all be talking about that fetish like it's bad
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    possibly nsfw and maybe tmi
    Spoiler:
    honestly i can see the appeal of that fetish (in some contexts) and Animorphs never had that kind of appeal to me

    probably because the way transformation is described in those books sounds so unpleasant and gross and unsexy

    ymmv

    I'm switching my cloud stuff over from Dropbox (because my promotional 50 GB plan expires in a few months) to OneDrive (because I get 1 TB of storage through the University's plan for as long as I'm a student there)

    And, wow, OneDrive for business is kinda clunky

    Like I can't complain because they give me plenty of storage and it doesn't cost any extra money (beyond what I already pay to attend the school, naturally :P) but it's clear that this is some enterprise-grade product being used as a personal cloud storage service and it feels a bit unintuitive to figure out how the web interface works
