edit misread OP. "still attached?" In my opinion though, you might be better off with a different construction that's more affirmative unless you have specific reasons.

Just want to make sure that everyone knows they can play Shadowrun: by cacophonousdrunkardin Cyberpunk

[–]CaptShmo 5 points6 points ago

imo, yes, they are pretty much completely different. SNES really favors story and gun/magic battles. Genesis is more open-ended feeling and favors hacking and tech.

If the protagonists share a second language (spanish perhaps), even if they are horrible at it, they could use that to converse with each other, while other characters would simply just dismiss them as foreign as wagedomain suggested. Of course that limits how they interact with the locals, but perhaps that wouldn't be necessary depending on your story.

Just watched the Star Wars XXX parody. Surprisingly it is much more reverent to the material than the actual prequels. by megatom0in scifi

Parody laws notwithstanding, maybe they are scared to bring up a lawsuit as then they'd really be broadcasting that such a thing exists... you can't un-ring a bell this awesome...

Donut vs. Giant Sourdough Roll by CaptShmoin nutrition

[–]CaptShmo 1 point2 points ago

Recently I've been doing it more often just because I'm trying to get out of the house more and it's a cheap way to fit it into my schedule, but part of that is laziness on my part. I'm going to start just walking to the park instead and leaving the bread eating for a special treat or something.

Donut vs. Giant Sourdough Roll by CaptShmoin nutrition

[–]CaptShmo -1 points0 points ago

This was pretty much my logic as well. I suspect that based on the size of the roll, however, that it might actually be around 500cals (it's easily two fists worth of solid bread) but still, sounds like if I insist on eating empty carbs the roll is probably a better choice. I'm going to try to find something to replace it, but money is also an issue here.

Thanks so much for the great response.

Hahaha, I eat plenty of apples and whatnot, lots of fresh fruit and veggies in my diet, I eat them every day. This is specifically for when I want to go eat something that's bread-like.

Found this in a used bookstore for a quarter. A quarter!! by DakotaStormin scifi

[–]CaptShmo 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I have heard this book is not so great; I was all fired up to read it too, and then I looked up reviews... sad... let us know what you think though OP, maybe you can find something redeeming in it making it worth a read?

Has a Sci-Fi or Fantasy Book Ever Really Touched You? by theusualuserin Fantasy

[–]CaptShmo 1 point2 points ago

A Spell for Chameleon, the first Xanth novel; although it's not 'touching' in the sense that you meant in the original post, it was the book that cemented me a life-long fantasy reader.

Arcades in the LA area? by Shadowfire224in LosAngeles

There was a nickel nickel near long beach, but I think it closed. See if there's any other locations around?

/r/fantasy - Do you like being marketed to? by woelajilliamsin Fantasy

[–]CaptShmo 0 points1 point ago

I agree with the above... for me, quality of product and faithfulness to the source content is a big factor, as well as not over saturating the market; it's really sad when you walk into a shop and see piles of low-quality merchandise for a show/book/movie you love on clearance.

New Fantasy Book Cover: Need Your Opinion by shiva777in Fantasy

[–]CaptShmo 2 points3 points ago

I agree with the above post, though I do think that the typography for author name needs some work. Also, just because I do this a lot at my job and can't help myself, please make sure that you own the rights to use the photo from your cover if you did not take it yourself or already purchase it / commission it.
