Everything you just listed, Rachel Richardson, is on my ignore list... I noticed that bluecyclist64 acts like a total forum troll, so I went ahead and blocked him preemptively as for Smith—I actually requested a block there because I didn't want to end up in any spaces he moderates
That was really the moment it clicked for me—seeing what it's like for teenagers online when an entire generation decides to hunt them down and harass them during such a sensitive time in their lives
Up until then, I honestly just thought the whole thing was funny and irrelevant
So, I’m currently wading through the entire Remarque collection about war... honestly, I told myself I was done with war movies and anything remotely related to combat themes for good measure On the flip side—and this is embarrassing, really—there was a period where I was absolutely obsessed with those sniper films😁
I seriously need to find that one meme—you know the one, with the two buttons and the guy sweating profusely while trying to decide😁
There’s an old saying back home here in the States. If just two people tell you that you're drunk, you might just lie down and roll around for a bit. But when dozens—hell, hundreds—of people start telling you that you're a lousy moderator... you still insist you're doing everything right. I mean, where's the logic in that?
I’m honestly just exhausted by this constant string of mediocre little SF movies, though I might give this one a shot not that I'm particularly forgiving—if it sucks, I'm just turning it off ever since Hunter/Prey, I feel like I haven't liked a single small-scale sci-fi flick or maybe I just can't remember them all
The one and only original Man, what a total shock seeing this for the first time Seriously—what a masterpiece, and that ending? Just wow. I've gone through and watched every single installment in the series.
Gorr breaks it all down over at that link The season plays a role too, obviously Christmas rolls right into the New Year and that whole winter snow vibe But then you've got Easter—it’s always shifting around
It’s basically birth versus the mystery of the resurrection And so on
Easter... what a clunky, awkward English word. English is honestly great... but when you get into theology, it’s just terrible. Listen Easter 😁 Good Friday Christmas Haha
I voted against the blades In the meantime, I’ve gone ahead and requested a partial split on a few different subforums—life is good, though I really hope the mods aren't drowning in extra work because of me That whole thing was just unbearable... I’m reading a book and trying to pull ideas from it, for crying out loud where to be fast Which book are we talking about? Which page? Give me a source... After five pages of this thread... still the same stuff... people losing points over low image resolution... hellooo, we aren't at Harvard here You guys aren't my professors; I don't need this kind of scrutiny I have my access to Library of Congress archives and my own books You're irrelevant
nimblemarlin6 said:It’s easily the best story in that specific issue of Sirius, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the best out of all 156 issues. Still, it's damn good.
The move would be to adapt it exactly as written—no fluff, no unnecessary expansions. That simplicity is where the magic happens. As for the ending? It hits you just as hard as the ending of The Mist.
Look, I never claimed it was the greatest thing Sirius ever published. I meant it was the best novelette.
Actually, scratch that—it might just be my favorite sci-fi story, period. 😁
