Maybe you should have worn something less provocative. Rainbow crosswalks will be rainbow crosswalks, after all.

Same, it was like stepping through a time portal. Definitely !antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world material.
We are one. One is the beginning.
Are you one, Herbert?
Also you can’t ask them why they did something, they have no capacity of introspection, (...) they just make up something that sounds plausible for “what were you thinking”.
It's uncanny how it keeps becoming more human-like.
G'night everybody.
Sooooooo... healthcare subsidies will be restored, all of the other bullshit stays? Is that how this is going to go down?
Depends on how long you can drag out overtime if there's a stalemate at the end of the ninth period.
At this point I've tested out all of the buttons and have come to the conclusion that the entire game is a series of pass/fail quicktime events. Following the prompts leads to a deeply unsatisfying "gameplay" loop, and not following the prompts is punished.

I just finished Advocate, book 3 of Daniel M. Ford's The Warden series. I've been really enjoying this world. The first two books ended on cliffhangers, and the year wait between entries was killing me. Book 3 ended with a nice wrap up of one arc and a setup for another, both building up the bones of a larger story that's been looming ominously.
The problem is, it looks like Tor has dropped the series. The Warden and Necrobane were available in hardcover, but Advocate only got a TPB release. I can't find anything concrete about book 4, and according to a friend of a friend (and taken with the appropriate grain of salt) sales weren't good enough on the first book (?!?) to warrant re-upping the series.
I'm bummed. I found out about Ford's first series, Paladin, through word of mouth. I thought it was okay - a little tropey in places, but once he found his pace it was entertaining enough. Then he did some detective stuff that I had no interest in, but when I heard that he was doing another fantasy series, and that it got picked up by Tor, my interest was piqued. The result so far has been a marked improvement from Paladin, and one of the few things to poke through my deep depression these past few years. And now it's all in limbo.
Maybe I'm overreacting. I'm not going to pretend the know the machinations of the publishing world, and maybe someone else is going to pick up the series. It's just frustrating to find something nice and get it yanked away.
Anyway, rant over. I enjoyed my time with this series regardless of its future. If anyone else has read it (or has heard any news about continuation), I'd love to hear your thoughts.
What day is it, anyway?

This one has been bugging me for awhile, so I don't know when it started. But images in-line in the text portion of posts show at their original resolution, and do not scale down.

Possibly related, images that are wider than they are tall don't scale down in comments.
