Jul. 17th, 2025 07:34 amrunpunkrunPerihelion's people notice it's been acting strangely since it returned from its last solo mission. A short story set after Artificial Condition.
My favorite thing about this series is Murderbot and ART and their favorite humans. My least favorite thing is all the descriptions of walking around. This has both. I would have liked it a lot better if it had spent half as much time describing the path they took through the spaceport facility and twice as much time exploring Iris and Peri's relationship because that's the important stuff, right? I wanted to learn more about their relationship and the ways Peri changed after meeting Murderbot and what Iris thinks about those changes. Here I was thinking ART was always like this, but it seems Murderbot might have had more of an effect on ART then it could have known.
Instead: Transit schedules. :(

cakewrecks_feedI don't know about you guys, but it seems like everyone I know has gotten sick with something contagious recently. Because knowledge is power, I think you ought to know just what the nasties that are causing all this misery look like. We rented a powerful microscope -- hey, we spare no expense for you, our dear readers -- put samples of the germs under the microscope, and magnified them 5000 times. Here's what we found: Let's start with...
Flu
...and landed very, very badly.
("Shhh! It's trying to communicate.")
("Yeah, and it's saying, 'OUCH.'")
You've probably heard of e-coli:
Be careful around this one -- it makes you feel like crap.
I'll bet you think this is the common cold:
Well, it's not.
Most of us are familiar with Strep:
You know, the one that makes you a little hoarse?
And finally, there's Staphylococcus:
Which is the disease that killed Sigmund Freud.
(Actually, it's not. But wouldn't that have been deliciously ironic?)
We hope you've managed to avoid getting sick, because no one wants these in real life, or in cake form.
(If you were "lucky" enough to get one of these, feel free not to share, m'kay?)
Let's spread thanks to Kara W., Tiffany W., Jan Y., Kerrie C., and Katie P., for their infectious senses of humor.

Episode 2649: The Rights Go Out and I Can’t Be Saved
Jul. 17th, 2025 09:12 amdarths_and_droids_feed
If your characters get captured, one way to move things along is to be so annoying that the captors just want to be rid of you. If you do this in a game, you have the added opportunity of making your GM so annoyed that they decide to have the captors let you go.

Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)
Well, what good is a Wookiee elocution trick if you can't use it? Interesting that they've got a neck chain on Chewie already. That's either standard issue for capturing beings, which is disturbing, or it's something that was already prepped for capturing the heroes, which means the knights somehow knew where they were. Neither of those bode well for the success of escape in the dilapidated spaceship, which will likely be by the skin of Threepio's teeth.
So will Rey get back to the ship in time to try and escape? Or will she end up getting captured as well to try to keep the party from being split too much. I could see either as something Pete could go for, but for the movie, this feels more like a loss of a friend and a plot device. That will lead to the next part of the movie where getting Chewie and the keyblade back is the short-term goal. Just heading off to Kimchi and hoping for the best would make no sense at all, even from a "we don't know where the plot is going" point of view. But there was the whole Willy Wonka tunnel trip with the hyperjump, so...... no guarantees that won't happen.
