Discworld is incredible, really the only reasons to not love Discworld is simply because someone hasn't read it, or they have contrarianism disease and only by rejecting that which owns can they express their inner turmoil.

I just listened to intergalactic by the beastie boys over and over growing up because the music video had a cool giant robot in it. That and the Celine Dion “it’s all coming back to me now“ music video with the ghost motorcycle. I didn’t really get into music until I turned 17 and was given an iPod touch.

Sir Terry was also a legitimately great philosophist quote:“All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable." quote:“Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.” quote:“The philosopher Didactylos has summed up an alternative hypothesis as "Things just happen. What the hell".”

I first read Discworld because one of my high school English teachers made Small Gods assigned reading, it owned I haven't read any in a long time, I would want to get big omnibus editions like the one I have for Earthsea

I remember forcing myself to read a discworld book when i was on holiday and really not enjoying it - i think it was Clay of Feet and i couldn't tell you a single thing that happened but i went back and started at The Colour of Magic. I can't think of too many other books that produce genuine belly laughs

Simone Magus posted:yeah seriously. and the scope of topics covered in them is broad enough that i could probably find a few in the series that would appeal to just about anyone. drat I need to re-read some of these. i once owned basically all of them, i got some amazon giftcard back when amazon was still more like a book place kind of, and then through infinity moves shed them until i only have a tiny handful left. At least most of them I gave to friends or coworkers who would enjoy them! CharlieFoxtrot posted:I first read Discworld because one of my high school English teachers made Small Gods assigned reading, it owned Yeah that would be grand, I think the stories and satires and criticisms of the books still hold up today, maybe better than before as our reality has gotten increasingly absurd while maintaining a serious face.

Simone Magus posted:There is so much wrong with this that I don't even know where to start It's all true and you know it except maybe replace Tool with Queen idk But again though Discworld is legimitately great. Those first two point and click adventure games with Eric Idle were good too edit: and people talk a lot about the Death and Rincewind books being classic discworld series, but I really recommend Going Postal, which was basically just about the corporate consolidation of the internet and web infrastructure, only in fantasy wizard land The Grumbles fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Jun 10, 2021 |

yeah I've only read most of them once. I think the only ones I've read more than once are Small Gods, Mort, Wyrd Sisters and Pyramids. I was 12 and 13 when I read a lot of them so I'm sure I missed a bunch of stuff too.

It feels like this is happening more and more, but it might just because it's just getting more attention. Anyway Capcom you got the plot for the next Battle Network please make another one.

They all had those stubby leg-n-feet that characters from that sect of the series had. Oh gently caress it wasn't a dream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWpsUAN4Sqo It was REAL.

Simone Magus posted:I'm very confused about the imagined link between Tool and Pratchett, doubly so between Queen and Pratchett as loathe as I am to explain the joke, the link is "huge nerds at school who thought they were better than everyone else because they were early achievers, and the things those nerds were way into, in part because they thought those things were higher cultural offerings than what all the other kids were into" As I type this I realise that puts the Discworld fanbase dangerously into Rick & Morty fanbase territory, but I suppose books require effort to read so those gates will always be kept a lil. Plus the discworld books are just generally a lot kinder

Oh, I meant to post this yesterday More Weird poo poo About America So I was driving to a client yesterday, on the highway, going like 100, when suddenly I heard a huge "WHACK" noise right next to my left ear, and I thought I felt something maybe. I was like "Whoah, did a piece of wood just fall off a truck and hit me or what?" So then I went to get gas and looked in my back seat and there was this MASSIVE, like, as long as my middle finger, bumblebee(????) dead in my back seat. its head was missing!!!!!
