Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos.

I expect I’ll remain dead unless the eldritch energies unlocked by the collision results in my resurrection.

If I do return to life, I suppose I might be very angry at someone or something, and that I will make him/her/it/them regret what he/she/it/they did, in the finest tradition of cinematic heroes who return from apparent death or exile.

Once I’ve completed my mission of vengeance, perhaps I’ll ride a vehicle or appropriate local domesticated animal towards a local star disappearing over the horizon of whatever planet I’m on, perhaps even with an appropriate romantic partner.

If all of this comes to pass, I would fully expect to be forced to return to resolve increasingly unexpected conflicts ad nauseum.

As I go, I’ll likely start to repeatedly indicate that I’m getting far too old for this nonsense, but I’ll continue to reluctantly proceed in my conflict resolution every time. Perhaps I’ll be able to pass on the fight for justice to another, younger person eventually.

Like I said before, though, I’ll likely just stay dead.

It’s not the herp, it’s the derp.

This invoice must be paid FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

I have contacted the Finance Department FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

Being homeless is effectively a crime in many jurisdictions, so…

Aren’t those guys kinda anti-federalist, except where it benefits them?

I, also, am hip and with it. Witness my funky fresh lingo and in-your-face attitude, home skillet.

So that explains the apparent undead working for them…I only read the first book or three and it’s been a minute. This is the sign for me to go back and finish the series.

God help the poor mathematical geniuses who accidentally discover that math. If they’re lucky, they end up working for the Laundry.

I wonder what would happen in the same scenario but with John Constantine or Dr. Fate?

That would be phenomenal, but I imagine it’s unlikely.

However, if we’re in the realm of unlikely scenarios, maybe they can give me a follow-up to Xcom: Enemy Within that proceeds from an Xcom victory in the first game. I never got into Xcom 2 because it ignored the buildup to the greater enemy foreshadowed at the end of Enemy Within. Not knocking those who liked what we got…it just didn’t work for me.

Gang, is there like a biological reason cats put their butts in your face? Based on everyone’s reaction, it’s obviously something we’ve all seen enough that we find the meme funny or at least relatable.

I miss Looney Tunes so much.

Alpha Centauri with the Alien Crossfire dlc

Best 4x ever.

Honestly, I could deal with Adrian’s shenanigans just fine. That whole thing was supposed to be over the top, so they shifted most of his story to non-canonical status. I understood why, at the time. But then, the main storyline moved on to a lot of odd muscle porn stuff that was kinda not important to the story. I was dealing with that when I came across a thread lamenting the fact that the actual Gilgamesh of ancient legend was coming into the story as a living character somehow. I read ahead to confirm, and then I gave up. It was just one ridiculous bridge too far. The beautiful HFY story I’d started reading all the way back with Kevin Jenkins (whose character transformed in some nonsensical ways himself) was just too off the rails for me at that point. Add the dismissive treatment of female characters later on, and it was just another story ruined for me. So many great characters and so much unrealized potential…

There were some seriously emotional stories in the Jenkinsverse, but there were so many side stories that went nowhere. I’ve just been disappointed too many times to continue to sort through it all.

If you liked it all, more power to you. It had some pretty fantastic moments. It just transformed too far away from what I enjoyed about it for me to continue.
