Sacrificing your life, your innocence and morality in order to secure your lands from imperialist threats that would see millions of your people wiped out or oppressed?

is it not selfless to damn yourself to whatever form of oblivion awaits you so that the next generations might not have to?

In a wonderful turn of events: Captive’s War is narrated by the cery same narrator!

I’m currently listening to Livesuit by James SA Corey. It’s part of their new series that released this year called The Captives War. It’s a Novella/Interquel pretty typical of their release style.

It takes place in an incredibly unknowably distant future for humanity. We follow a squad of Livesuit infantry who have fused their bodies with technology to fight an unfathomable legion of alien conquerors. An enemy that has never lost a war then uses the best traits of conquered races to continue their war.

Why it’s so good is because the author(s) have an incredible way of describing people and the world they interact with. Images are vivd and believable. While being so alien, and futuristic Corey manages to write a world you can imagine yourself in.

Additionally, their novellas always take place in the same world, but are completely stand alone stories from the main series so the depth of world building is just… chef’s kiss

Both writers were originally working on writing RPGs and TTRPGs so their style just brings me back to sitting at a table with friends, some drinks and a Character Sheet for a hopeful lvl 3 wizard.

This is funny because I read it as “Democrats don’t control the weather and [they] create hurricanes to destroy Florida.”

Media literacy strikes again. You could state what you stated and yet someone will still believe they create hurricanes without the ability to control weather.

Rules-lawyering rules lawyers is my fun!

It’s like this for all TTRPGs. Someone always be trying to rules lawyer away someone’s fun. 😎

So because the show ends at an actual great point in the series. You know, like an actual break-off point the show is all bad?

I’m confused. It’s a great show. We’re all sad that it ended early but the point that it ends is perfect.

As a huge fan of the books before the show was made… Wot?

They had a pretty faithful adaptation of the show. Even character changes were acceptable. They even had the writers of the books writing and producing so like…

What was wrong with the shows again? They cancelled it at a perfect breaking point where the main characters would have aged 50 years? That’s what we don’t like?

Based and healthy mentality pilled tbh.

Bro. Bro.

Belle province, all dressed steamies and an “Italian” Poutine. My god.

Sure as fuck ain’t Italian or a good meat sauce but as a combo that shit slaps.

Define authentic taste for me.
