I have a noted tendency to completely fail to enjoy "literary" fiction, especially of the award-winning kind. A) Genre awards don't really count and B) there are some notable exceptions--typically those where they don't lose track of the fact they're telling a story.

It was the language, mostly, and the thinking isn't wildly off from at least some of the thinking in Proverbs. It's plausible that anyone aiming for slightly archaic and/or heightened English ends up sounding Biblical (at least to me). My error, thanks (genuinely) for the correction.

Proverbs, I'm guessing. What chapter/s? (also clearly not King James, so what version?)

Unrelated to the above: Your biases and your inability (unwillingness?) to consider other people's viewpoints--they're showing badly. Not a great look.

Makes sense. I mean, I don't disagree hard with what you're saying, but that thread is a fustercluck.

I was reading that and thinking that there were reasons I was staying out of that thread. :LOL:

And/or ground meat that didn't get made into hamburgers.

Not even this site: You are of course wrong, and you have been wrong every time you've said that; I could argue with you, but why?

1. Also 2.

Ya know, I can't tell whether you're really a worst-case scenario, or trolling as a worst-case scenario; either way, you're not worth my time and energy.

I adored the novel, but I'll admit I took the voice as it was, I didn't come into it with any set expectations for a "noir" narrative voice; I didn't find it distancing at all. Obviously, there's room for differences of opinions, here.

Well, you're someone it's barely worth getting into a discussion with, let alone an argument. The slightest bit of disagreement and boom.

Great example, there. Good job illustrating that willful failure to understand how and why other people play.

When I read The Elusive Shift, my primary takeaway was that the arguments and the errors haven't really changed all that much since the beginning. Really put me off arguing about ... just about all of it.

I don't do six-hour sessions, but I otherwise agree that fortnightly does free people up to have lives, and if you game on Saturdays, giving people half their Saturdays works really well for sustainability.

"A lot of work" is about right. It's usually a couple of hours of getting everything else ready before we start cooking the meat. Worth it, but we need to plan for it.

All this talk about chili had me going and looking at my recipes. They're nuts. Either of those is like an all-day production.

I agree. My own chili recipes contain two bottles of beer, a wide selection of dried chiles, a couple of weird ingredients, and at least four pounds of meat. I haven't made chili in years, it feels like, though. EDIT: We've also taken to serving Fritos or something similar alongside, instead of...

That sounds more like a player-thing (or maybe a person-thing) than a D&D-thing. I mean, if I sign up to play something other than D&D, it's not because I'm hoping it'll turn into D&D.

I can see that. LitRPG just seems like enough of a category error to me that I'm completely uninterested.
