[check out my other builds!]
Gameplay Notes
This is a full class Paladin build, so the main gameplay loop is to hit hard and smite for a bunch of extra damage. As expected, the build has several good options for spellcasting outside of smites as well, with a bit of an added bonus of itemizing towards Poison damage. I chose to keep a mace as the main weapon, largely based on some character consistencies. To be honest, I am not a huge fan of playing paladins, so I’m sure there are a ton of ways for this to be much better than it is.Stats and Leveling

Lore and Flavor
I gotta be completely honest when I say that I think it is absolutely, entirely ridiculous for Minthara to be an Oath of Vengeance Paladin in this game. Minthara is not fighting the greater evil - she IS the greater evil. Given the options that we have in game, Vengeance is definitely the better option, but I really don’t think it fits her character. So… Oathbreaker it is!Here’s where it gets weird and metagame-y and immersion breaking, which I am disappointed in myself for… Minthara has to break her oath. Apparently, betraying two gods is not enough. There are a few frustratingly immersion breaking ways to do this, including:
- Respec into Oath of the Ancients or Devotion and kill a non-hostile NPC (like Z’rell in her office, for example)
- Select an odd, out of character option for the He Who Was quest, forgiving Madeline
But I feel strongly that Minthara’s “canon” subclass should be Oathbreaker — strongly enough that I’ll do some janky shit to get there. Because when did Minthara swear an oath for the first time? Surely it would have been during her days serving Lolth. Then she betrayed Lolth and presumably broke her oath. If not then, then maybe she swore an oath to serve the Absolute after being tadpoled which now, under the protection of the Prism, she is turning her back on again. Or maybe, it was intended that she swore to get revenge on the Absolute for abusing her after being set free (which makes a LOT of sense to me… if Oath of Vengeance was actually about getting revenge…). Is it this exact dialogue scene? Is this when she swore her Oath of Vengeance? Regardless, here is the oath she supposedly took:
- Fight the Greater Evil. Exerting your wisdom, identify the higher morality in any given instance, and fight for it.
- No Mercy for the Wicked**.** Chasten those who dole out their villainy by wiping their blight from the world forever.
- Fight the Greater Evil. Faced with a choice of fighting my sworn foes or combating a lesser evil, I choose the greater evil.
- No Mercy for the Wicked. Ordinary foes might win my mercy, but my sworn enemies do not.
- By Any Means Necessary. My qualms can't get in the way of exterminating my foes.
- Restitution. If my foes wreak ruin on the world, it is because I failed to stop them. I must help those harmed by their misdeeds.
Like with Shadowheart (who I desperately want to play as a Twilight Domain cleric after she betrays Shar), the actual best subclass for Minthara is simply not an option in the game. Minthara really ought to be an Oath of Conquest paladin. Check out the DND 5e Oath of Conquest, and tell me it doesn’t match perfectly:
- Douse the Flame of Hope. It is not enough to merely defeat an enemy in battle. Your victory must be so overwhelming that your enemies’ will to fight is shattered forever. A blade can end a life. Fear can end an empire.
- Rule with an Iron Fist. Once you have conquered, tolerate no dissent. Your word is law. Those who obey it shall be favored. Those who defy it shall be punished as an example to all who might follow.
- Strength Above All. You shall rule until a stronger one arises. Then you must grow mightier and meet the challenge, or fall to your own ruin.
My last comment is that, I know, I’m building Minthara late game with a mace. What the heck. But here me out - this is a cool and character-appropriate mace! The Handmaiden’s Mace appears in Baldur’s Gate 2 as well, where it’s looted off a Handmaiden of Lolth and has this description:
This mace has been crafted finely by the drow and specially treated to survive the glare of the sun. It was made for surface raids by the subterranean race... and its black metal glistens with a dark poison that seems to be generated from within and causes incredible damage upon a successful impact. The mace seems almost alive and warm to the touch, and slithers away from those whom it does not like... namely drow or those who are similar enough to not make a difference. In the hands of anyone else, the mace becomes mere dead weight.In Baldur’s Gate 3, it’s looted off Viconia in the Cloister of Sombre Embrace, with a description that references the previous game. Basically, this is a mace originally belonging to a Lolth-sworn drow that ended up with Viconia and eventually back with a Lolth-sworn drow! I think Minthara would be comfortable wielding it (she uses maces to begin with) and is one of a subset of people that actually can (if we go based on the Baldur’s Gate 2 lore). I also like Poison damage on Minthara, because it seems fitting with her drow heritage, but I guess that’s more of a personal vibe check than anything I’ve researched. The other mace is just to generally continue her dual-wielding maces set up until switching to a shield - keeping Xyanyde and giving it back to her once you save her (after she presumably lost it) is adorable, in my opinion.

EDIT: changed feat from Heavy Armour Master to Savage Attacker - thanks Missing_Links!
EDIT 2: switched headgear to Diadem of Arcane Synergy (thanks again to Missing_Links) :D
2024.04.10 06:33 Knoberchanezer "This isn't how I died": Melodie Dugan's Apocalypse Pt.26
The whole thing
I'd zoned out while cornering, and a dead one was right in the middle of the road.
"Shit!" I yelled.
I swerved as I grabbed a fist full of brake, skidded past the ragged walking corpse to the soft verge and dropped the bike. The Honda took me with it and pinned my left leg. I grunted as I hit the grass, and my head bounced.
I was stunned immediately. I couldn't hear. I couldn't see or focus. Through muffled ringing, I heard the growls and snarls of the dead one coming from behind me.
"Urgh! Argh! AHH!!!" I yelled as I frantically tried to get my leg free. I twisted myself to try and wriggle out from under the bike. The dead one dropped to its knees and slammed his head into my backpack, trying to bite out a chunk. I pressed up as hard as possible and awkwardly leapt forward as I got free. I staggered to my feet and turned to face the weathered dead one as it tried to get back to its feet. I reached for Trusty Rusty, but it wasn’t there. It was lying by the bike, half impaled into the grass.
I psyched myself as best as I could, shaking my head and trying to get my adrenaline pumping. I drew my knife as the green fleshed thing got up and stepped towards me.
The ones that had been outside for the longest, especially during winter, got it the worst. It made them thinner and easier to deal with. But I was fucked up. I could barely keep myself standing. I had to get it right.
It lurched, and I threw my right leg forward, aiming for its sternum but landing in its groin. It crumpled in front of me as I kind of stepped into it. It went to bite my stomach, but I caught it in my left arm. It bit down into the sleeve of my Dad's bomber and my arm underneath it. I yelled against the pain.
"Mother fucker!" I screamed as I planted the knife into its skull.
I felt the jaw bite slacken, and the dead thing slid down my right leg. I leapt back, letting it fall to the floor.
"Uh... God damn," I sighed, putting my hand to my head.
I looked at my sleeve and frantically pulled it back. It hadn’t broken through to the skin.
If the first close call back at the campsite wasn't enough, a second one in a single afternoon was more emotional stress that I didn't need. I was upset, angry at myself for fucking up so much after my first time out in months, and now I was all banged up. I wanted to slump down and cry. It was supposed to be a nice ride out.
I hobbled to the corpse and yanked my knife out of its head. Everything hurt. I wiped the blood off, sheathed it and limped back to the bike.
"I don't know how I'm gonna get home before sundown,” I said aloud, waiting for Maddy or my Dad to say something, but they weren’t there.
I felt adrenaline course through my blood. It was fight or flight. It was getting dark, and I could barely walk.
“Okay. Let’s take it slow,” I huffed.
I squatted down and lifted the bike. It felt like I was ripping every damaged muscle, opening all my fresh cuts. I had just enough adrenaline to manage it, but it hurt. I cried out in agony, but I got it up.
The ride went by slowly in a daze. I rolled through Kentucky's sunset plains and forest blocks alone, hurting, idling the bike slowly home. I couldn’t stop thinking about finding people. I also didn’t want to face what that would mean. I had this feeling in my gut. A sinking feeling inside of my soul as if my illusion had been shattered, my fractured mind had assembled itself in reality, and I knew that I was alone.
When I got home, I dragged the bike into the garage as best I could but dropped it on the cement. I was too weak to even try to pick it back up, and I was too tired to care.
I staggered into the house from that garage, dropping my bag and peeling off Dad's jacket.
"Maddy? Dad?" I called out desperately.
No one answered.
I knew they weren't here but didn't want to believe it.
"Come back," I sobbed, rubbing my palms into my temples and eyes, trying to get my brain to break and bring them back.
Squeezing, my throbbing head hurt like hell, but I couldn't stop.
"Please," I begged.
But it was no use; I was all alone. I stumbled weakly through the house, fighting down tears. I cleaned myself in the bathtub, picking bits of road and dirt out of my skin and head from the crash and disinfecting the latest, almost bite wound on the back of my neck. After a while, I stopped trying to hold it in, and I just let it all out, crying endless tears until sleep took me.
I woke up feeling a soft, familiar hand gently caressing my face. My head hurt, my mouth was full of cotton, and I ached everywhere.
"Oh, Mel," Madeline sighed when I opened my eyes and saw her.
"Where did you go?" I asked.
"We never left," she said.
"Don't..." I started as I went to get up. A thousand needles in my side and abdomen stabbed me as healing skin and muscles tore.
"Hey, hey, hey. Take it easy, Songbird," Dad said as he entered the bedroom.
"Don't do that to me again," I gasped as I fell back into the bed.
"It's not really up to us, Songbird," my Dad sighed as he squatted down to my level at the side of the bed.
Madeline looked at him, terrified, and he curled his lip and shrugged apologetically. I felt Maddy get off of the bed, and she walked out of the room. I turned to my Dad, confused, and he started to speak as if he had read my mind.
"Neither of you wanna hear this, but I'm afraid you have to, Mel," he spoke.
I closed my eyes and wished the world away.
"Stay with me, Melodie," Dad said, shocking my eyes open. "You and I, and to some degree, Madeline, all of us know what's really going on here. We had a great winter. We didn't just survive; we thrived. We had a great time, but there's no use trying to hide it now. You know where this goes if you actually find people, right?"
I looked at him, begging him without saying a word, feeling the tears welling.
"I need you to say it, Songbird. Out loud," he sighed.
"You and Maddy aren't going to be with me, are you?" I asked.
"Mel," he sighed and put his hand on his chest. "I handed this heart to you for free the moment you were born. Maddy and I will always be with you. Just, maybe not in the literal sense that we have in this luxurious squat you found for us," he finished with a smile.
I smiled back at him and managed to swallow the lump in my throat.
"You aren't gonna make people feel too comfortable if you're talking to people who aren't there," he laughed, and I laughed along with him.
"Now, we don't need to get all choked up about that yet," he said, slapping his legs and changing the subject. "You made some pretty big fuck ups yesterday."
"I know..." I cut him off.
"And now you're suffering for it," he said, gesturing at me and hinting at the apparent injuries all over me. "It's gonna take a while to get back on your feet. You need to get some rest," he said as he got up and went to the bedroom door.
"But those people..." I started.
"They could already be dead, or they could be just fine. You ain't gonna be much use right now anyway, but you got that diary, don’t you? Maybe you can find out more about them while you get better?" Dad said, winking as he left the room.
So, as the days turned to weeks and March slipped by me, I did my best to recover and absorb Bethany Harrison's life and the times she spent in March Ridge at the end of days.
"August 23rd, 1993,
Dear Bill,
I'm ready to accept that you aren't coming back. Last month, when you deployed, you told me it was probably just a simple drill, nothing to worry about. Now, the world has ended, and you're dead. There isn't any other possibility. You wouldn't have left me like this. I know it.
A few of the other military families that made it to the apartment block have been grilled over and over for the base's location where you all worked. Naturally, none of us know. I knew what I was signing up for when I married you, but I almost wish you'd just told me where it was so I could get them off our backs. They're having a hard time trusting us here, and it's not hard to blame them. We all saw what the military did on TV. I'm grateful that I didn't see you on it.
Father Jim is just about the only thing keeping us all together. He holds mass for the religious and the growing number of ‘converts’ that I guess just need some comfort in the end times.
As for me, I think I've just been existing in a perpetual state of waiting—waiting for you to come back to me. But now I think it's time to start mourning—to grieve you, Bill. Otherwise, how am I going to survive this?
I'll always love you, William.
Beth."
"Poor Beth," Madeline said, leaning in over my shoulder. “Did she ever write to him again?”
"I think this really was the last time,” I said, flicking through the pages of her innermost thoughts.
“Do you think she talked to him as well?” Maddy asked.
“She had people around her. She didn’t need him around,” I said matter-of-factly.
Madaline scowled at me.
“Don’t look at me like that. You and I both know it’s different. I couldn’t have done this alone,” I protested.
Maddy just shook her head.
I spent most of my days lying on the sofa. I could only stomach lying on my left side as the burning bite on the back of my neck prevented me from comfortably turning over. So, I would either sit up and read or lie down. I let the aches die, my wounds heal, and I ate well, all while trying my best not to think about what might happen the next time I left my home. Dying wasn’t my biggest problem. I wasn’t sure if I was ready to lose my family, unlike Beth. She’d kissed her husband goodbye a few days before the apocalypse and concluded that he was wandering around somewhere in Kentucky, trying to eat flesh.
“Where are you up to, Songbird?” Dad asked, looking at the journal in my hands.
“Winter. Almost at the end,” I sighed.
“Did you find out what they were doing out there?” he asked.
“Yeah, their priest got sick. Beth and a few others volunteered to find him medicine,” I explained.
“Didn’t you say she was an atheist?” Dad asked.
“Was,” I started. “She wrote about how Father Jim inspired her to see Jesus in all of the flock. I know what you and I thought of the church, Dad, but from the sounds of it, the man really did care and just wanted to save as many as he could.”
“Do you think he might still be alive?” Madaline asked.
“I dunno, Maddy. I don’t know if any of them are still alive. I… I don’t even think I want to know,” I sighed.
Dad gave my shoulder a gentle squeeze and moved around the couch. I tucked my legs in to let him sit down.
“Look, Songbird. Deep down, you and I both know that you want to find people alive, but you’ve got to be prepared for this,” He lectured.
“I know, Dad, but I don’t know if I am prepared. If I find people, I lose you both. If I don’t, I’m stuck with you,” I said.
“Well, that doesn’t sound too bad,” Madeline interjected, which made me smile.
“Mel, I know you’re worried about us, but I was actually talking about preparing to go back out there,” Dad hinted with a smile. “You’re no good to anyone, alive or dead, if you end up getting your neck ripped out by one of them you didn’t see coming,” He explained.
I knew my Dad was right. I also knew that the people of March Ridge had managed to survive for, at the very least, around six months, barricaded in some military apartments.
As March slipped into April, I was back on my feet regularly and moving around the house more. My back and legs weren’t aching as much, and I’d been studying the maps. I’d been making bombs—not just Fire ones but smoke ones to break line of sight and even a pipe bomb, just in case.
March Ridge itself was south of Muldraugh. To hear Beth tell it, it was close enough to whatever installation her husband was stationed at, but neither her diary nor any map I’d found could point to where it was.
“I guess it doesn’t matter,” I said. “Finding the base isn’t really the point. Finding people is.”
“So, you’re really gonna go through with this?” Maddy asked.
“I have to, Maddy. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forget about it if I don’t see it for myself,” I said.
On the morning of the tenth, dawn was breaking over my little cul-de-sac. With the battery installed, the gas tank full, and the fridge and cabinets stuffed with food, I was turning the key to the RV and cranking her over for the first time in months.
“All set, Songbird?” Dad checked.
“All set,” I smiled, hopping out and hugging him.
“You can still change your mind. We can still come with you,” Maddy said, fighting back tears.
I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight, kissing her cheek.
“I’m coming back here, Maddy. I promise,” I said, smiling at her.
“We’ll be with you all the way,” Dad smiled.
I hopped into the driver's seat, shut that door, and put on Dad’s aviators as the sun beams skirted across the treetops and into the cab. I waved at them both as I pulled out. Dad kept smiling, and Maddy smiled as best she could so I didn’t have to see her cry. I’d wanted to take them with me, but Dad was right. If there were survivors out there, then I had to get used to being alone—to being human again without the ghosts of my family haunting me.
I took the long way to March Ridge, driving through roads that I knew were clear, and as I got closer, roads that I hoped would be clear as they didn’t go past any big population centres. I took special care to avoid the area Beth and her compatriots marked with skulls—the warehouses where they’d lost some of their group and, unfortunately, where the dead ones bit them.
Finally, when I got to the turn-off, there was a deserted checkpoint between the thick forests and a single road leading into town. I pulled up the RV by the container office just beyond the chain-link fence, cut the engine, and hopped out. I grabbed my Go Bag and shouldered it as I stared down the road towards the distant town.
“Come on. Please. Be alive,” I whispered, begging.
Then, I put my pack on and started hiking down the tarmac.
As I got closer to town, I started to see a bunch of uniform houses, all in neat rows. I could also make out crowds of dead ones swaying in the gentle spring breeze. So, I broke track and headed across the open grass, handrailing the edge of the woods and checking my map as I approached the apartment building from the rear. It wasn’t hard to miss. It was the biggest building there, standing taller than anything else in the town.
They’d erected a barricade around it with cars, furniture and random things, from vending machines to post boxes. As I passed the cinema, I reached the barricade. I looked over my shoulder and saw a few stragglers wandering out of earshot. I put my hands on a derelict truck with its flatbed packed with washing machines. I almost peeked my head over but stopped myself.
“Hello?” I called out in a slightly raised voice, enough for anyone on the other side to hear me.
There was no answer. I shouted again, but there was still nothing. I peeked my head over, expecting the worst. I wasn’t disappointed. The place had been ransacked. The dead had broken through barricaded windows, leaving black, coagulated lumps of blood and skin on the wood and glass. The front door to the building was wide open, and in the parking lot was a crowd of dishevelled-looking dead ones wrapped in winter clothes, swaying in the breeze. I climbed over the truck and jumped down onto the other side.
“No. No. No. No. Please, No.” I said over and over.
I walked with a quick pace towards the eastern wall of the building and peeked my head into the first window I came across. A dead face slapped against the glass and made me leap backwards. Its mouth moved, slowly forming words.
“My… my… my kids…” it gurgled as its hands slid down the window pane.
I stepped back. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to yell out and scream. I clasped my hands to my head and squeezed as hard as I could. I bit down hard on my lip. Just as I couldn’t take it anymore, just when all the rage, anguish and hate had built up inside of me, as I breathed in deep and my lungs were about to scream out into the void, someone beat me to it.
“Aaarrrrrrrggghhh!” I heard from further in town.
Someone was screaming out, and they were nearby. The wrapped-up dead ones heard it, too, and they started heading south through the broken barricade. I ran back towards the east side, climbed back onto the truck and stood, trying to see the person yelling. I couldn’t see anything, but I could see every dead one in town heading for the dinner bell. I climbed back down and ran in the direction they were converging on, digging into my pack for some of my ready-made bombs.
I dashed past the cinema and across a parking lot behind several buildings a block over. I could see more and more of the dead, turning their heads to see me and following on.
“Shit. Shit. Shit,” I cursed under my breath as the situation became more dicey.
I turned a corner, and that’s when I saw him. He was kneeling in the middle of an intersection, screaming out till his voice grew horse, and every single dead one in town was closing in. I sprinted to him as fast as I could. His eyes were closed, and I stopped before him, knelt and shook his shoulders hard.
“Hey! Stop yelling!” I cried out.
He opened his eyes and looked at me, shocked and confused with a deer in the headlights look.
I stared at him for a second in disbelief, but the dead ones groans had caught up. I hauled him to his feet with me.
“Move!” I yelled.
I dragged him back the way I’d come, but an impassible crowd approached us. I pulled a smoke bomb from my pocket, lit it and threw it into the crowd. With the way sealed off by a wall of walking dead, I dived to the right, dragging the guy with me. We ran past a gas station, where the crowd followed on. I pulled out a fuel bomb, armed it and threw it at the gas pumps.
“Come on!” I screamed, dragging the guy by the arm.
A few seconds later, the bomb exploded, and the gas station caught fire. The tall, lumbering dude yelled incoherently in terror, but I ignored him and held his arm in a vice-like grip. I had to get us both out of there.
We rounded a wooden fence into a residential street just as a long, six-foot-high fence collapsed on our left, and a horde of the dead trudged through the gap towards the exploding gas station. The dead ones migrating towards the fire and noise gave us enough breathing room to weave up the street back towards the main road into town.
I ran, leading him along. He was huffing and puffing, trying to get some words out, but the effort was too great. He wheezed as phlegm fell from his lips as he desperately tried to keep pace.
“Keep the fuck up! Come on!” I yelled, turning to see him.
He made a screaming gesture behind me, towards our running direction. I turned back and almost ran right into a dead one, arms up, ready to bite. I didn't have time to reach for the crowbar. Instead, I let go of his hand and dump-tackled the dead one to the floor, unsheathing my knife in the process. With the dead one flat on his back, I jammed the knife into his skull, pulled it back out quickly and grabbed the living guy by the arm, continuing down the street.
We lost the last few followers as we hit the grassy open area towards the main road. I could hear the gas pumps exploding one by one in the distance. At the side of the woods, I looked back to ensure we were clear. The tall, skinny man with a scraggly, patchy brown goatee beard collapsed in a heap on the floor, retching up the contents of his stomach and trying his best to suck in some air. I caught my breath and kept my head on a swivel.
“Are… are you an angel?” the guy asked, looking up at me, amazed.
I looked at him confused and watched his brow furrow. I took in the sight of him. I must have looked wild and feral because I didn't know if I really believed what I saw. I don't think he did either. I held my hand out to help him back up, and he tentatively took it. He stood almost a foot above me and gawked with a slack jaw. I don't know why, but I put my hands in his arms, patted them, and squeezed them. He was real. My lips trembled, and tears filled my eyes. The first living person I'd seen in almost a year was standing right in front of me with a stupid look on his face. I threw myself forward and wrapped my arms around him, sobbing into his chest. He hugged me back, but it seemed he felt obliged to.
“I'm really sorry!” I stammered. You're the first person I've seen alive since it happened.”
“It's okay,” he coughed. You… you saved me.” He hugged me tighter—a real human hug.
I pulled away from him and composed myself. I gave my best awkward smile, trying not to make the first encounter with another living person weird. Then I saw his hand. It was bandaged, bloody and still bleeding. My heart sank.
“Are you bitten?!” I yelled.

4/10/94
After finding the campsite, I raced home on my bike. My mind was firing in multiple directions, asking every ‘what if?’ What if they were still alive? What if there were people? Living people? What about my family?I'd zoned out while cornering, and a dead one was right in the middle of the road.
"Shit!" I yelled.
I swerved as I grabbed a fist full of brake, skidded past the ragged walking corpse to the soft verge and dropped the bike. The Honda took me with it and pinned my left leg. I grunted as I hit the grass, and my head bounced.

I hobbled to the corpse and yanked my knife out of its head. Everything hurt. I wiped the blood off, sheathed it and limped back to the bike.
"I don't know how I'm gonna get home before sundown,” I said aloud, waiting for Maddy or my Dad to say something, but they weren’t there.
I felt adrenaline course through my blood. It was fight or flight. It was getting dark, and I could barely walk.
“Okay. Let’s take it slow,” I huffed.
I squatted down and lifted the bike. It felt like I was ripping every damaged muscle, opening all my fresh cuts. I had just enough adrenaline to manage it, but it hurt. I cried out in agony, but I got it up.
The ride went by slowly in a daze. I rolled through Kentucky's sunset plains and forest blocks alone, hurting, idling the bike slowly home. I couldn’t stop thinking about finding people. I also didn’t want to face what that would mean. I had this feeling in my gut. A sinking feeling inside of my soul as if my illusion had been shattered, my fractured mind had assembled itself in reality, and I knew that I was alone.
When I got home, I dragged the bike into the garage as best I could but dropped it on the cement. I was too weak to even try to pick it back up, and I was too tired to care.
I staggered into the house from that garage, dropping my bag and peeling off Dad's jacket.
"Maddy? Dad?" I called out desperately.
No one answered.
I knew they weren't here but didn't want to believe it.
"Come back," I sobbed, rubbing my palms into my temples and eyes, trying to get my brain to break and bring them back.
Squeezing, my throbbing head hurt like hell, but I couldn't stop.
"Please," I begged.
But it was no use; I was all alone. I stumbled weakly through the house, fighting down tears. I cleaned myself in the bathtub, picking bits of road and dirt out of my skin and head from the crash and disinfecting the latest, almost bite wound on the back of my neck. After a while, I stopped trying to hold it in, and I just let it all out, crying endless tears until sleep took me.
I woke up feeling a soft, familiar hand gently caressing my face. My head hurt, my mouth was full of cotton, and I ached everywhere.
"Oh, Mel," Madeline sighed when I opened my eyes and saw her.
"Where did you go?" I asked.
"We never left," she said.
"Don't..." I started as I went to get up. A thousand needles in my side and abdomen stabbed me as healing skin and muscles tore.
"Hey, hey, hey. Take it easy, Songbird," Dad said as he entered the bedroom.
"Don't do that to me again," I gasped as I fell back into the bed.
"It's not really up to us, Songbird," my Dad sighed as he squatted down to my level at the side of the bed.
Madeline looked at him, terrified, and he curled his lip and shrugged apologetically. I felt Maddy get off of the bed, and she walked out of the room. I turned to my Dad, confused, and he started to speak as if he had read my mind.
"Neither of you wanna hear this, but I'm afraid you have to, Mel," he spoke.
I closed my eyes and wished the world away.
"Stay with me, Melodie," Dad said, shocking my eyes open. "You and I, and to some degree, Madeline, all of us know what's really going on here. We had a great winter. We didn't just survive; we thrived. We had a great time, but there's no use trying to hide it now. You know where this goes if you actually find people, right?"
I looked at him, begging him without saying a word, feeling the tears welling.
"I need you to say it, Songbird. Out loud," he sighed.
"You and Maddy aren't going to be with me, are you?" I asked.
"Mel," he sighed and put his hand on his chest. "I handed this heart to you for free the moment you were born. Maddy and I will always be with you. Just, maybe not in the literal sense that we have in this luxurious squat you found for us," he finished with a smile.
I smiled back at him and managed to swallow the lump in my throat.
"You aren't gonna make people feel too comfortable if you're talking to people who aren't there," he laughed, and I laughed along with him.
"Now, we don't need to get all choked up about that yet," he said, slapping his legs and changing the subject. "You made some pretty big fuck ups yesterday."
"I know..." I cut him off.
"And now you're suffering for it," he said, gesturing at me and hinting at the apparent injuries all over me. "It's gonna take a while to get back on your feet. You need to get some rest," he said as he got up and went to the bedroom door.
"But those people..." I started.
"They could already be dead, or they could be just fine. You ain't gonna be much use right now anyway, but you got that diary, don’t you? Maybe you can find out more about them while you get better?" Dad said, winking as he left the room.
So, as the days turned to weeks and March slipped by me, I did my best to recover and absorb Bethany Harrison's life and the times she spent in March Ridge at the end of days.
"August 23rd, 1993,
Dear Bill,
I'm ready to accept that you aren't coming back. Last month, when you deployed, you told me it was probably just a simple drill, nothing to worry about. Now, the world has ended, and you're dead. There isn't any other possibility. You wouldn't have left me like this. I know it.
A few of the other military families that made it to the apartment block have been grilled over and over for the base's location where you all worked. Naturally, none of us know. I knew what I was signing up for when I married you, but I almost wish you'd just told me where it was so I could get them off our backs. They're having a hard time trusting us here, and it's not hard to blame them. We all saw what the military did on TV. I'm grateful that I didn't see you on it.
Father Jim is just about the only thing keeping us all together. He holds mass for the religious and the growing number of ‘converts’ that I guess just need some comfort in the end times.
As for me, I think I've just been existing in a perpetual state of waiting—waiting for you to come back to me. But now I think it's time to start mourning—to grieve you, Bill. Otherwise, how am I going to survive this?
I'll always love you, William.
Beth."
"Poor Beth," Madeline said, leaning in over my shoulder. “Did she ever write to him again?”
"I think this really was the last time,” I said, flicking through the pages of her innermost thoughts.
“Do you think she talked to him as well?” Maddy asked.
“She had people around her. She didn’t need him around,” I said matter-of-factly.
Madaline scowled at me.
“Don’t look at me like that. You and I both know it’s different. I couldn’t have done this alone,” I protested.
Maddy just shook her head.
I spent most of my days lying on the sofa. I could only stomach lying on my left side as the burning bite on the back of my neck prevented me from comfortably turning over. So, I would either sit up and read or lie down. I let the aches die, my wounds heal, and I ate well, all while trying my best not to think about what might happen the next time I left my home. Dying wasn’t my biggest problem. I wasn’t sure if I was ready to lose my family, unlike Beth. She’d kissed her husband goodbye a few days before the apocalypse and concluded that he was wandering around somewhere in Kentucky, trying to eat flesh.
“Where are you up to, Songbird?” Dad asked, looking at the journal in my hands.
“Winter. Almost at the end,” I sighed.
“Did you find out what they were doing out there?” he asked.
“Yeah, their priest got sick. Beth and a few others volunteered to find him medicine,” I explained.
“Didn’t you say she was an atheist?” Dad asked.
“Was,” I started. “She wrote about how Father Jim inspired her to see Jesus in all of the flock. I know what you and I thought of the church, Dad, but from the sounds of it, the man really did care and just wanted to save as many as he could.”
“Do you think he might still be alive?” Madaline asked.
“I dunno, Maddy. I don’t know if any of them are still alive. I… I don’t even think I want to know,” I sighed.
Dad gave my shoulder a gentle squeeze and moved around the couch. I tucked my legs in to let him sit down.
“Look, Songbird. Deep down, you and I both know that you want to find people alive, but you’ve got to be prepared for this,” He lectured.
“I know, Dad, but I don’t know if I am prepared. If I find people, I lose you both. If I don’t, I’m stuck with you,” I said.
“Well, that doesn’t sound too bad,” Madeline interjected, which made me smile.
“Mel, I know you’re worried about us, but I was actually talking about preparing to go back out there,” Dad hinted with a smile. “You’re no good to anyone, alive or dead, if you end up getting your neck ripped out by one of them you didn’t see coming,” He explained.
I knew my Dad was right. I also knew that the people of March Ridge had managed to survive for, at the very least, around six months, barricaded in some military apartments.
As March slipped into April, I was back on my feet regularly and moving around the house more. My back and legs weren’t aching as much, and I’d been studying the maps. I’d been making bombs—not just Fire ones but smoke ones to break line of sight and even a pipe bomb, just in case.
March Ridge itself was south of Muldraugh. To hear Beth tell it, it was close enough to whatever installation her husband was stationed at, but neither her diary nor any map I’d found could point to where it was.
“I guess it doesn’t matter,” I said. “Finding the base isn’t really the point. Finding people is.”
“So, you’re really gonna go through with this?” Maddy asked.
“I have to, Maddy. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forget about it if I don’t see it for myself,” I said.
On the morning of the tenth, dawn was breaking over my little cul-de-sac. With the battery installed, the gas tank full, and the fridge and cabinets stuffed with food, I was turning the key to the RV and cranking her over for the first time in months.
“All set, Songbird?” Dad checked.
“All set,” I smiled, hopping out and hugging him.
“You can still change your mind. We can still come with you,” Maddy said, fighting back tears.
I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight, kissing her cheek.
“I’m coming back here, Maddy. I promise,” I said, smiling at her.
“We’ll be with you all the way,” Dad smiled.
I hopped into the driver's seat, shut that door, and put on Dad’s aviators as the sun beams skirted across the treetops and into the cab. I waved at them both as I pulled out. Dad kept smiling, and Maddy smiled as best she could so I didn’t have to see her cry. I’d wanted to take them with me, but Dad was right. If there were survivors out there, then I had to get used to being alone—to being human again without the ghosts of my family haunting me.
I took the long way to March Ridge, driving through roads that I knew were clear, and as I got closer, roads that I hoped would be clear as they didn’t go past any big population centres. I took special care to avoid the area Beth and her compatriots marked with skulls—the warehouses where they’d lost some of their group and, unfortunately, where the dead ones bit them.
Finally, when I got to the turn-off, there was a deserted checkpoint between the thick forests and a single road leading into town. I pulled up the RV by the container office just beyond the chain-link fence, cut the engine, and hopped out. I grabbed my Go Bag and shouldered it as I stared down the road towards the distant town.
“Come on. Please. Be alive,” I whispered, begging.
Then, I put my pack on and started hiking down the tarmac.
As I got closer to town, I started to see a bunch of uniform houses, all in neat rows. I could also make out crowds of dead ones swaying in the gentle spring breeze. So, I broke track and headed across the open grass, handrailing the edge of the woods and checking my map as I approached the apartment building from the rear. It wasn’t hard to miss. It was the biggest building there, standing taller than anything else in the town.
They’d erected a barricade around it with cars, furniture and random things, from vending machines to post boxes. As I passed the cinema, I reached the barricade. I looked over my shoulder and saw a few stragglers wandering out of earshot. I put my hands on a derelict truck with its flatbed packed with washing machines. I almost peeked my head over but stopped myself.
“Hello?” I called out in a slightly raised voice, enough for anyone on the other side to hear me.
There was no answer. I shouted again, but there was still nothing. I peeked my head over, expecting the worst. I wasn’t disappointed. The place had been ransacked. The dead had broken through barricaded windows, leaving black, coagulated lumps of blood and skin on the wood and glass. The front door to the building was wide open, and in the parking lot was a crowd of dishevelled-looking dead ones wrapped in winter clothes, swaying in the breeze. I climbed over the truck and jumped down onto the other side.
“No. No. No. No. Please, No.” I said over and over.
I walked with a quick pace towards the eastern wall of the building and peeked my head into the first window I came across. A dead face slapped against the glass and made me leap backwards. Its mouth moved, slowly forming words.
“My… my… my kids…” it gurgled as its hands slid down the window pane.
I stepped back. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to yell out and scream. I clasped my hands to my head and squeezed as hard as I could. I bit down hard on my lip. Just as I couldn’t take it anymore, just when all the rage, anguish and hate had built up inside of me, as I breathed in deep and my lungs were about to scream out into the void, someone beat me to it.
“Aaarrrrrrrggghhh!” I heard from further in town.
Someone was screaming out, and they were nearby. The wrapped-up dead ones heard it, too, and they started heading south through the broken barricade. I ran back towards the east side, climbed back onto the truck and stood, trying to see the person yelling. I couldn’t see anything, but I could see every dead one in town heading for the dinner bell. I climbed back down and ran in the direction they were converging on, digging into my pack for some of my ready-made bombs.
I dashed past the cinema and across a parking lot behind several buildings a block over. I could see more and more of the dead, turning their heads to see me and following on.
“Shit. Shit. Shit,” I cursed under my breath as the situation became more dicey.
I turned a corner, and that’s when I saw him. He was kneeling in the middle of an intersection, screaming out till his voice grew horse, and every single dead one in town was closing in. I sprinted to him as fast as I could. His eyes were closed, and I stopped before him, knelt and shook his shoulders hard.
“Hey! Stop yelling!” I cried out.
He opened his eyes and looked at me, shocked and confused with a deer in the headlights look.
I stared at him for a second in disbelief, but the dead ones groans had caught up. I hauled him to his feet with me.
“Move!” I yelled.
I dragged him back the way I’d come, but an impassible crowd approached us. I pulled a smoke bomb from my pocket, lit it and threw it into the crowd. With the way sealed off by a wall of walking dead, I dived to the right, dragging the guy with me. We ran past a gas station, where the crowd followed on. I pulled out a fuel bomb, armed it and threw it at the gas pumps.
“Come on!” I screamed, dragging the guy by the arm.
A few seconds later, the bomb exploded, and the gas station caught fire. The tall, lumbering dude yelled incoherently in terror, but I ignored him and held his arm in a vice-like grip. I had to get us both out of there.
We rounded a wooden fence into a residential street just as a long, six-foot-high fence collapsed on our left, and a horde of the dead trudged through the gap towards the exploding gas station. The dead ones migrating towards the fire and noise gave us enough breathing room to weave up the street back towards the main road into town.
I ran, leading him along. He was huffing and puffing, trying to get some words out, but the effort was too great. He wheezed as phlegm fell from his lips as he desperately tried to keep pace.
“Keep the fuck up! Come on!” I yelled, turning to see him.
He made a screaming gesture behind me, towards our running direction. I turned back and almost ran right into a dead one, arms up, ready to bite. I didn't have time to reach for the crowbar. Instead, I let go of his hand and dump-tackled the dead one to the floor, unsheathing my knife in the process. With the dead one flat on his back, I jammed the knife into his skull, pulled it back out quickly and grabbed the living guy by the arm, continuing down the street.
We lost the last few followers as we hit the grassy open area towards the main road. I could hear the gas pumps exploding one by one in the distance. At the side of the woods, I looked back to ensure we were clear. The tall, skinny man with a scraggly, patchy brown goatee beard collapsed in a heap on the floor, retching up the contents of his stomach and trying his best to suck in some air. I caught my breath and kept my head on a swivel.
“Are… are you an angel?” the guy asked, looking up at me, amazed.
I looked at him confused and watched his brow furrow. I took in the sight of him. I must have looked wild and feral because I didn't know if I really believed what I saw. I don't think he did either. I held my hand out to help him back up, and he tentatively took it. He stood almost a foot above me and gawked with a slack jaw. I don't know why, but I put my hands in his arms, patted them, and squeezed them. He was real. My lips trembled, and tears filled my eyes. The first living person I'd seen in almost a year was standing right in front of me with a stupid look on his face. I threw myself forward and wrapped my arms around him, sobbing into his chest. He hugged me back, but it seemed he felt obliged to.
“I'm really sorry!” I stammered. You're the first person I've seen alive since it happened.”
“It's okay,” he coughed. You… you saved me.” He hugged me tighter—a real human hug.
I pulled away from him and composed myself. I gave my best awkward smile, trying not to make the first encounter with another living person weird. Then I saw his hand. It was bandaged, bloody and still bleeding. My heart sank.
“Are you bitten?!” I yelled.

Madeline got her chance to ask after Sarah when the guard arrived to take them all to the dining hall. With her aching body and drowsy mind, she longed to just switch off for the night, but she’d told Joanna that she’d do this. Besides, no matter how tired she was, it couldn’t completely kill her curiosity.
She just wished that she could get Billie’s comments about the guard’s interest in her out of her head. It made her feel so much more awkward going over to talk to him — and she wasn’t great at talking to people at the best of times. Her mouth felt sticky before she’d even reached him, and she could feel the heat radiating from her face.
As he gathered the group by the door, she sidled up to him. “Errr… Excuse me.”
He glanced around at her and smiled. “Can I help you with something?”
“Maybe?” Clenching her fists and closing her eyes, she forced the words out. “Look, I’m really sorry if this isn’t something I should be asking it’s just… One of the people in our dorm was taken away today…”
His smile fell slightly. “I did hear about that.”
“It just shocked us all a little. And I was wondering if there was anything you could tell us. Will she — Sarah, that is — will she be coming back?”
“Ah. Well.” His weight shifted slightly from one foot to the other, as his eyes avoided hers. “I can’t say for certain, I’m afraid.”
“So there’s a chance then?”
He blinked slowly and sighed. “Yes. There’s a chance.”
A small spark of hope fluttered to life inside Madeline’s chest. “And I don’t suppose you could tell me where she is now, could you?”
He met her gaze again, no trace of a smile left on his face. “Nowhere you want to be. Trust me.”
The flutter of hope faltered. Still, it wasn’t all bad news. That was something, at least. Madeline mustered the best smile she could manage. “Thanks. I really appreciate it.”
“No problem. Never hesitate to come to me with questions or concerns. That’s why I’m here.” He glanced away, surveying the now fully assembled group. “And with that, I should probably take you all to dinner, shouldn’t I… What was your name again?”
She blinked a couple of times, somewhat taken aback. “Madeline.”
“Madeline.” He nodded to himself. “It suits you. I’m Marcus — just in case you ever need to ask for me.” With a parting smile, he turned his attention back to the rest of the group. “Now, who’s hungry? Come on everyone. Follow me!”
As she trailed after him, Madeline wondered why she’d been so surprised by the exchange of names. It wasn’t an unusual thing to ask of someone. Was she that out of practice with social niceties? Or was it just that she’d never expected a person who would work with or for Poiloogs to actually care about her as a human being?
“So?” Billie slipped into step beside her, making her start. “What did you find out?”
“Not much. But still more than I expected.” She glanced over her shoulder, scanning the crowd for Sarah’s siblings. “I’ll tell you properly at dinner with Joanna and Ben if we can get a seat near them.”
When they were finally all sat together with steaming bowls of soup served with fluffy, buttery bread, Madeline regretted her promise to talk over dinner. Her stomach grumbled and ached. But she knew that if it was her friend or sibling — or her Billie — she’d want to know everything as soon as possible.
Joanna and Ben were watching her expectantly from across the table.
She nibbled at her bread while she chose her words, careful not to get their hopes up too much. After chewing slowly and swallowing, she said, “I didn’t find out much. But Marcus — the guard, that is — did imply that there was a chance Sarah might come back.”
Joanna’s eyes widened. “Really?”
“Yep. But he wouldn’t be at all specific about the likelihood.”
“And did he tell you where they took her?” Ben asked.
“Again, there was nothing specific. All he’d say was…” Madeline paused. Should she filter the information to make it easier on them? Surely that wasn’t her decision to make. And Marcus hadn’t told her anything that they likely didn’t already know. “All he’d say was that I wouldn’t want to be there.” She grimaced. “Sorry.”
Joanna shook her head, reaching across the table to clasp Madeline’s hands. “Don’t be sorry! Thanks to you we know that all hope isn’t entirely lost. Thank you! Really!”
“Yeah,” Ben grinned. “Thanks.”
The pair retreated into themselves after that, with Joanna leant on her brother’s shoulder. They pushed their food around but showed little more interest in it than that. It made Madeline feel guilty for the ferocity with which she descended on her meal, but she couldn’t deny her rumbling stomach any longer.
No one seemed to feel in the mood to talk after that, not even once the majority of bowls at the table had been wiped clean. It was only when they were back in the dormitory that Billie nudged Madeline gently. “So,” they waggled their eyebrows, “Marcus, eh? First name basis already?”
Madeline groaned, flopping down onto her bunk and lying back while keeping her feet on the floor. “Don’t! You know I’m awkward enough already!”
“I’m just saying…” They flopped down next to her. “He didn’t tell me his name when I asked him about the walkmans.”
Madeline turned her head to glare at them. But when their noses brushed she couldn’t maintain it.
They grinned, shuffling even closer. “I just want to make sure that you know how wonderful you are.”
“You mean that you want me to be awkward and self-conscious?”
“Well… You are cute when you blush.”
Madeline rolled her eyes but snuggled closer into them. Their warmth was soothing on her sore muscles. Their presence, as always, made her feel safe and secure.
Her eyelids began to droop, and she felt herself drifting off.
The last thing she heard before she was lost to the land of sleep was Billie whispering, “I suppose I’ll take the first shift again, shall I?” as they pulled out their walkie to try to contact their allies on the outside.

“It just shocked us all a little. And I was wondering if there was anything you could tell us. Will she — Sarah, that is — will she be coming back?”
“Ah. Well.” His weight shifted slightly from one foot to the other, as his eyes avoided hers. “I can’t say for certain, I’m afraid.”
“So there’s a chance then?”
He blinked slowly and sighed. “Yes. There’s a chance.”
A small spark of hope fluttered to life inside Madeline’s chest. “And I don’t suppose you could tell me where she is now, could you?”
He met her gaze again, no trace of a smile left on his face. “Nowhere you want to be. Trust me.”
The flutter of hope faltered. Still, it wasn’t all bad news. That was something, at least. Madeline mustered the best smile she could manage. “Thanks. I really appreciate it.”
“No problem. Never hesitate to come to me with questions or concerns. That’s why I’m here.” He glanced away, surveying the now fully assembled group. “And with that, I should probably take you all to dinner, shouldn’t I… What was your name again?”
She blinked a couple of times, somewhat taken aback. “Madeline.”
“Madeline.” He nodded to himself. “It suits you. I’m Marcus — just in case you ever need to ask for me.” With a parting smile, he turned his attention back to the rest of the group. “Now, who’s hungry? Come on everyone. Follow me!”
As she trailed after him, Madeline wondered why she’d been so surprised by the exchange of names. It wasn’t an unusual thing to ask of someone. Was she that out of practice with social niceties? Or was it just that she’d never expected a person who would work with or for Poiloogs to actually care about her as a human being?
“So?” Billie slipped into step beside her, making her start. “What did you find out?”
“Not much. But still more than I expected.” She glanced over her shoulder, scanning the crowd for Sarah’s siblings. “I’ll tell you properly at dinner with Joanna and Ben if we can get a seat near them.”
When they were finally all sat together with steaming bowls of soup served with fluffy, buttery bread, Madeline regretted her promise to talk over dinner. Her stomach grumbled and ached. But she knew that if it was her friend or sibling — or her Billie — she’d want to know everything as soon as possible.
Joanna and Ben were watching her expectantly from across the table.
She nibbled at her bread while she chose her words, careful not to get their hopes up too much. After chewing slowly and swallowing, she said, “I didn’t find out much. But Marcus — the guard, that is — did imply that there was a chance Sarah might come back.”
Joanna’s eyes widened. “Really?”
“Yep. But he wouldn’t be at all specific about the likelihood.”
“And did he tell you where they took her?” Ben asked.
“Again, there was nothing specific. All he’d say was…” Madeline paused. Should she filter the information to make it easier on them? Surely that wasn’t her decision to make. And Marcus hadn’t told her anything that they likely didn’t already know. “All he’d say was that I wouldn’t want to be there.” She grimaced. “Sorry.”
Joanna shook her head, reaching across the table to clasp Madeline’s hands. “Don’t be sorry! Thanks to you we know that all hope isn’t entirely lost. Thank you! Really!”
“Yeah,” Ben grinned. “Thanks.”
The pair retreated into themselves after that, with Joanna leant on her brother’s shoulder. They pushed their food around but showed little more interest in it than that. It made Madeline feel guilty for the ferocity with which she descended on her meal, but she couldn’t deny her rumbling stomach any longer.
No one seemed to feel in the mood to talk after that, not even once the majority of bowls at the table had been wiped clean. It was only when they were back in the dormitory that Billie nudged Madeline gently. “So,” they waggled their eyebrows, “Marcus, eh? First name basis already?”
Madeline groaned, flopping down onto her bunk and lying back while keeping her feet on the floor. “Don’t! You know I’m awkward enough already!”
“I’m just saying…” They flopped down next to her. “He didn’t tell me his name when I asked him about the walkmans.”
Madeline turned her head to glare at them. But when their noses brushed she couldn’t maintain it.
They grinned, shuffling even closer. “I just want to make sure that you know how wonderful you are.”
“You mean that you want me to be awkward and self-conscious?”
“Well… You are cute when you blush.”
Madeline rolled her eyes but snuggled closer into them. Their warmth was soothing on her sore muscles. Their presence, as always, made her feel safe and secure.
Her eyelids began to droop, and she felt herself drifting off.
The last thing she heard before she was lost to the land of sleep was Billie whispering, “I suppose I’ll take the first shift again, shall I?” as they pulled out their walkie to try to contact their allies on the outside.

Madeline got her chance to ask after Sarah when the guard arrived to take them all to the dining hall. With her aching body and drowsy mind, she longed to just switch off for the night, but she’d told Joanna that she’d do this. Besides, no matter how tired she was, it couldn’t completely kill her curiosity.
She just wished that she could get Billie’s comments about the guard’s interest in her out of her head. It made her feel so much more awkward going over to talk to him — and she wasn’t great at talking to people at the best of times. Her mouth felt sticky before she’d even reached him, and she could feel the heat radiating from her face.
As he gathered the group by the door, she sidled up to him. “Errr… Excuse me.”
He glanced around at her and smiled. “Can I help you with something?”
“Maybe?” Clenching her fists and closing her eyes, she forced the words out. “Look, I’m really sorry if this isn’t something I should be asking it’s just… One of the people in our dorm was taken away today…”
His smile fell slightly. “I did hear about that.”
“It just shocked us all a little. And I was wondering if there was anything you could tell us. Will she — Sarah, that is — will she be coming back?”
“Ah. Well.” His weight shifted slightly from one foot to the other, as his eyes avoided hers. “I can’t say for certain, I’m afraid.”
“So there’s a chance then?”
He blinked slowly and sighed. “Yes. There’s a chance.”
A small spark of hope fluttered to life inside Madeline’s chest. “And I don’t suppose you could tell me where she is now, could you?”
He met her gaze again, no trace of a smile left on his face. “Nowhere you want to be. Trust me.”
The flutter of hope faltered. Still, it wasn’t all bad news. That was something, at least. Madeline mustered the best smile she could manage. “Thanks. I really appreciate it.”
“No problem. Never hesitate to come to me with questions or concerns. That’s why I’m here.” He glanced away, surveying the now fully assembled group. “And with that, I should probably take you all to dinner, shouldn’t I… What was your name again?”

2024.03.31 04:58 ragcloud Morgan max Innate Cap guide (ATM9)
 | As you possibly know the Morgan is one of if not the best sword in the modpack, in previous versions of ATM9 its maximum possible damage was a whoping 5 million and there's a really complete guide on how to make it by EpicEnchants on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFtvY4viCMo), however, in the latest versions it got nerfed making so the maximum possible damage it can deal is 5k, wich is pretty good, so in addition to the video I wanted to share the list of materials and what's in my opinion the best way to increse the damage submitted by ragcloud to allthemods [link] [comments] prior to the fist sword (Calibur) you'll need an enchanted diamond sword (preferibly with smite 5), to get smite 5 i would recommend the use of easy villagers, get a smite 5 librarian and lock its trade, then use a converter and convert it twice for a 99% discount on the book (works for every villager), then follow the steps of the video until it's time to upgrade the inner cap, EpicEnchants says 83 ender orbs are requiered for the 5M cap, but if you're playing on the latests version you'll need only 26 (the 23 that the quest book says will only get you 3500 inner cap I've alredy tried it) so you'll need: https://preview.redd.it/v7ibgrfr1lrc1.jpg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a3cb4b26f5d73bf89864f7b40eb15cda10b4686 and that's pretty much it, once you end up with your 5000 inner cap calibur you can increase its damage by 3 each time you throw it to the murky lake enchanted with smite 5, for it to become a morgan you have to kill a warden with it and to increase the damage on the Morgan you have to kill villagers (+0.5 damage killng adult villagers and +1 damage killing baby villagers), for this last task it's easier to make a breeder and feed it potatoes or carrots and for this last thing a mystical agriculture farm farming nature essense gave the best results, when your breeder starts working it'll produce baby villagers that can be extracted via hopper or item pipe to any form of storage, any villager you kill will consume 400 mahou and you can fill your invntory with baby villager then put one on your offhand and they'll replanish every time you put one on the floor welp, that's everything I wanted to say, hope I didn't missed anything, any questions you have I'll do my best to answer |

Link to serial master post for other chapters
Their first day working in the orchard dragged on and on, to the point that Madeline started to wonder if it would ever end. The sun traced an unbelievably slow arc across the sky, offering little warmth to her stiff and aching fingers as she gripped, lifted and twisted. Gripped, lifted, and twisted. Over and over and over as her bucket slowly filled with apples.
Though she loved that she got to spend the whole day with Billie, they hardly said two words to each other the whole time. She was too out of breath to talk and she didn’t want to risk getting into trouble by taking additional rests.
When it was finally time to head back, she was so bone-achingly tired she would almost have been happy to skip dinner entirely and head straight to bed, but she knew that no matter how tempting that pillow and duvet looked, a hearty meal in her stomach would go a long way to making her feel better.
She spent most of the walk back fantasising about what the meal might be. It wasn’t until they were almost there that she noticed the queue forming outside the building their dormitory was in.
“Do you know what’s going on?” she whispered to Billie.
They shrugged before tapping one of the more experienced workers waiting in front of them on the shoulder. The woman turned around, her brow pinched in confusion.
“Sorry to bother you,” Billie said. “We were just wondering if you knew what’s going on?”
“Oh.” The woman looked them up and down. “Newbies, right?”
They both nodded.
“Sometimes they search us as we’re heading back in after work — gotta make sure we aren’t smuggling any tools back in with us that could be used as a weapon or extra food from the fields or whatever.”
Madeline’s heart plummeted, but she tried to keep her face blank. They thought they’d been so clever hiding their walkies on them all day, not leaving them to be found in the dorm. Now it was going to ruin everything!
“Thanks,” Billie said levelly.
“Don’t mention it.” The woman turned back around, leaving Madeline free to panic.
“We’re screwed!” she hissed to Billie. “Being caught with the walkies fastened to us makes us look way more guilty than if they’d just been found in the dorm. What were we thinking? What are we going to do?”
“We were thinking that this was the best option that we had,” Billie replied, their voice annoyingly calm. “And we’re not going to do anything apart from stay calm, after all, there’s not much we can do now apart from wait and see what happens.”
Madeline nodded, but it did nothing to ease the panic gripping her chest. It was all very well saying you were going to stay calm but doing it was something else entirely.
With each step they took towards the front of the queue, the grip on Madeline’s chest tightened. She craned her neck to try and see what awaited them in more detail. There were two guards in front of the door to the building, patting down the workers. They both seemed to be moving quite quickly. That was good, wasn’t it? They couldn’t be being that thorough. But one did seem to be being quite rough, grabbing and squeezing and shoving those he searched into place. She saw one young man stumble, his leg half swept out from under him by the force of the searching hand. The guard smiled a sneering smile down at him.
Madeline recognised the type. She’d met plenty of them before the Poiloog’s came. And a few after too. There would always be others who abused whatever little power they had.
When they finally got to the front, she was trembling with the effort of holding herself together. The seemingly gentler of the two guards beckoned to her, and some of her panic eased.
She clenched her fists as she took a step towards him — the same young man who seemed to be looking after her and the rest of her dorm. Despite her best efforts, she flinched back as he reached out to pat her down
“Easy now,” he said, smiling. “I’m not going to hurt you. I’ve just gotta check you aren’t taking anything back that you shouldn’t be.”
“Sorry,” Madeline squeaked. “It’s just, I’m not used to being touched, you know. At least not in a non-violent way.”
He smiled in sympathy. “The world out there is a dangerous place. But you’re safe in here now. Okay?”
“Okay,” she replied with a nod, trying not to glance at the other guard who was currently enthusiastically searching the older woman from in front of her in the queue.
She just about managed to force herself to stay still as the young man’s hands grazed over her. His touch was very gentle, not really patting all the way down to her skin underneath. Was he like this with everyone? Or was he trying to be kind because she’d been scared?
Still, she screamed internally as he moved to her abdomen brushing against the walkie wrapped to her there. All she could do was hope that under the many layers of fabric, it just felt like a part of her.
His hands dropped back to his sides, and she let out a sigh of relief.
“You’re all good to go,” he said.
“Thanks,” she muttered before dashing inside.
As she hurried along the corridor, she glanced back over her shoulder, praying that Billie would have a similar experience.
But when she reached the dormitory, any worries or doubts about the decision they’d made fled her mind. The place had clearly been searched — and thoroughly. Bedding was on the floor, mattresses tossed, every chest was open and the contents were strewn around.
She arrived just in time to see one of her bunkmates being dragged away by guards. Craning to get a better look, she recognised Sarah. The woman’s face was stained with tears, but she wasn’t shouting or screaming or pleading for herself. She was pleading with her siblings — Joanna and Ben — to let her go, and to leave it be.
Though Madeline barely knew them all, her heart broke for them. To have made it this far sticking together to only be torn apart now…
Of course, Joanna and Ben were completely ignoring Sarah’s wishes, pleading with the guards to let her go. But it was no use.
The two of them were pushed roughly back before the door slammed shut behind the guards and their prisoner.
A heavy silence descended on the dormitory.
Until a presence behind Madeline made her start. She whipped around to see Billie standing there. Without thinking, she threw her arms around them and hugged them tight, breathing in their presence.
A moment later, they returned the embrace, whispering in her ear, “What did I miss?”
“I’m not sure exactly,” Madeline replied. “I’m just really glad that you’re still here.”

“Sorry to bother you,” Billie said. “We were just wondering if you knew what’s going on?”
“Oh.” The woman looked them up and down. “Newbies, right?”
They both nodded.
“Sometimes they search us as we’re heading back in after work — gotta make sure we aren’t smuggling any tools back in with us that could be used as a weapon or extra food from the fields or whatever.”
Madeline’s heart plummeted, but she tried to keep her face blank. They thought they’d been so clever hiding their walkies on them all day, not leaving them to be found in the dorm. Now it was going to ruin everything!
“Thanks,” Billie said levelly.
“Don’t mention it.” The woman turned back around, leaving Madeline free to panic.
“We’re screwed!” she hissed to Billie. “Being caught with the walkies fastened to us makes us look way more guilty than if they’d just been found in the dorm. What were we thinking? What are we going to do?”
“We were thinking that this was the best option that we had,” Billie replied, their voice annoyingly calm. “And we’re not going to do anything apart from stay calm, after all, there’s not much we can do now apart from wait and see what happens.”
Madeline nodded, but it did nothing to ease the panic gripping her chest. It was all very well saying you were going to stay calm but doing it was something else entirely.
With each step they took towards the front of the queue, the grip on Madeline’s chest tightened. She craned her neck to try and see what awaited them in more detail. There were two guards in front of the door to the building, patting down the workers. They both seemed to be moving quite quickly. That was good, wasn’t it? They couldn’t be being that thorough. But one did seem to be being quite rough, grabbing and squeezing and shoving those he searched into place. She saw one young man stumble, his leg half swept out from under him by the force of the searching hand. The guard smiled a sneering smile down at him.
Madeline recognised the type. She’d met plenty of them before the Poiloog’s came. And a few after too. There would always be others who abused whatever little power they had.
When they finally got to the front, she was trembling with the effort of holding herself together. The seemingly gentler of the two guards beckoned to her, and some of her panic eased.
She clenched her fists as she took a step towards him — the same young man who seemed to be looking after her and the rest of her dorm. Despite her best efforts, she flinched back as he reached out to pat her down
“Easy now,” he said, smiling. “I’m not going to hurt you. I’ve just gotta check you aren’t taking anything back that you shouldn’t be.”
“Sorry,” Madeline squeaked. “It’s just, I’m not used to being touched, you know. At least not in a non-violent way.”
He smiled in sympathy. “The world out there is a dangerous place. But you’re safe in here now. Okay?”
“Okay,” she replied with a nod, trying not to glance at the other guard who was currently enthusiastically searching the older woman from in front of her in the queue.
She just about managed to force herself to stay still as the young man’s hands grazed over her. His touch was very gentle, not really patting all the way down to her skin underneath. Was he like this with everyone? Or was he trying to be kind because she’d been scared?
Still, she screamed internally as he moved to her abdomen brushing against the walkie wrapped to her there. All she could do was hope that under the many layers of fabric, it just felt like a part of her.
His hands dropped back to his sides, and she let out a sigh of relief.
“You’re all good to go,” he said.
“Thanks,” she muttered before dashing inside.
As she hurried along the corridor, she glanced back over her shoulder, praying that Billie would have a similar experience.
But when she reached the dormitory, any worries or doubts about the decision they’d made fled her mind. The place had clearly been searched — and thoroughly. Bedding was on the floor, mattresses tossed, every chest was open and the contents were strewn around.
She arrived just in time to see one of her bunkmates being dragged away by guards. Craning to get a better look, she recognised Sarah. The woman’s face was stained with tears, but she wasn’t shouting or screaming or pleading for herself. She was pleading with her siblings — Joanna and Ben — to let her go, and to leave it be.
Though Madeline barely knew them all, her heart broke for them. To have made it this far sticking together to only be torn apart now…
Of course, Joanna and Ben were completely ignoring Sarah’s wishes, pleading with the guards to let her go. But it was no use.
The two of them were pushed roughly back before the door slammed shut behind the guards and their prisoner.
A heavy silence descended on the dormitory.
Until a presence behind Madeline made her start. She whipped around to see Billie standing there. Without thinking, she threw her arms around them and hugged them tight, breathing in their presence.
A moment later, they returned the embrace, whispering in her ear, “What did I miss?”
“I’m not sure exactly,” Madeline replied. “I’m just really glad that you’re still here.”

<< First Chapter
< Previous Chapter Next Chapter >
Their first day working in the orchard dragged on and on, to the point that Madeline started to wonder if it would ever end. The sun traced an unbelievably slow arc across the sky, offering little warmth to her stiff and aching fingers as she gripped, lifted and twisted. Gripped, lifted, and twisted. Over and over and over as her bucket slowly filled with apples.
Though she loved that she got to spend the whole day with Billie, they hardly said two words to each other the whole time. She was too out of breath to talk and she didn’t want to risk getting into trouble by taking additional rests.
When it was finally time to head back, she was so bone-achingly tired she would almost have been happy to skip dinner entirely and head straight to bed, but she knew that no matter how tempting that pillow and duvet looked, a hearty meal in her stomach would go a long way to making her feel better.
She spent most of the walk back fantasising about what the meal might be. It wasn’t until they were almost there that she noticed the queue forming outside the building their dormitory was in.
“Do you know what’s going on?” she whispered to Billie.
They shrugged before tapping one of the more experienced workers waiting in front of them on the shoulder. The woman turned around, her brow pinched in confusion.
“Sorry to bother you,” Billie said. “We were just wondering if you knew what’s going on?”
“Oh.” The woman looked them up and down. “Newbies, right?”

2024.02.10 01:59 Knoberchanezer "This isn't how I died": Melodie Dugan's Apocalypse Pt. 16
The whole thing
“Alright, so that magazine said to put the shells in here,” I mumbled as I tipped the gun in one hand.
That morning was chilly enough to warrant breaking out my Dad’s old bomber jacket. I’d stuffed a fistful of shells into the pocket. I pulled them one at a time and slid them into the shotgun breach.
“Alright,” I huffed, psyching myself up. “Let’s do this,”
I brought the gun up to my shoulder and racked it. My finger slipped inside the trigger guard. The gun went off immediately and slammed hard into my shoulder, winding me and sending the gun out of my grip and into the dirt.
“Fuck!” I yelled, clutching my left hand to my aching right arm.
“Fucking cunt! Asshole!” I shouted, kicking the dirt and swearing through the pain.
“Urrrrgghh!” I growled as the initial pain eventually subsided a few seconds later. I opened my eyes and saw my Dad standing in front of me, pitying his poor little girl. He looked at me like I was three years old, and he’d just seen me scrape my knee. I swallowed my pain and stood up straight.
“What? No wise words for me, Dad. No tips for shooting, huh?” I shouted. “Oh yeah, that’s right. You were too much of a pacifist fucking hippy after Nam that you wouldn’t teach me how to use these things?”
I turned away from him after I spoke those words and covered my mouth with my hand. I knew that wasn’t fair to say, even to a dead man. I could feel how much that hurt him. It hurt me to say it.
“Mel,” Madeline said softly over my shoulder.
“I’m sorry, it’s just I’m alone here. You can’t be here with me through any of this. You’re not here teaching you’re M&M’s how to shoot, Dad, and it sucks,” I said, tears trickling out of my eyes. “And that really fucking hurt,” I whimpered.
I sniffled, wiped my nose and eyes with my jacket sleeve and breathed. I was alone in the field again. I picked up the shotgun and made sure the barrel was clear.
“Alright, gonna keep my finger off the trigger this time,” I said.
I put it to my shoulder, racked it and stood firm, taking aim. I gently squeezed the trigger. The blast made my ears ring. I felt a pang of pain when the gun thrust into my bruised shoulder, but I kept hold of it. Chunks of wood and bark splinted off the log in a glancing blow to its top right. I racked it and fired again.
It didn’t take long before I was out of shells, but I’d landed some consistent hits on the log. I headed back to the house to nurse my aching arm. I rested the shotgun on the dining room table. It was littered with maps and notes of where things that I’d logged on my runs were. Dates, numbers, and migration directions of observed herds intertwined with my coffee mug, books, magazines, and an ashtray that I needed to empty.
“Alright. I’m gonna need a lot of guns and ammo,” I said, looking over the map of West Point.
I cast my eye over to the Eastern end of town, where I’d marked down Twiggy’s place.
“You think we can get the RV to the other side of West Point?” Maddy asked.
“Maybe not the RV, but I bet one of those trucks down at the gas station works. I can take a can of gas and use that. Plus, it would make runs to get gas easier than taking the RV,” I reasoned. “I’ll set off in the morning.”
“What’s the truck for, Songbird?” my Dad asked.
“I'm sorry, Dad, but there is a gun store behind Twiggy’s. They didn’t take everything the day I left. There’s gotta be a lotta guns there, and I need 'em,” I justified.
“Songbird,” he started, calmly trying to begin a lecture.
“Consider it self-defence. Consider it mercy. They’re dead. I’m not. I gotta reclaim the earth, if not for my own sanity, then at least to get the shit I need to keep surviving,” I countered. “If it makes you feel better, Dad, I won't use them on a living person,”
Silence.
The morning was chilly, but it was nice to be walking out in the fresh air again. I reached the intersection just before noon to find a single dead one had wandered in. A woman with a tangled shock of hair and her head hanging low. I saw her as I approached from the North, swaying in the middle of the crossroads. I took the crowbar from the side of my backpack and approached her.
She slowly lifted her head up to greet me. Half of her face was missing. She snarled at me and started to shamble over. I’d seen so many of them like this that I’d become desensitised to it. Chunks of their faces missing, and bones sticking out. It was becoming more common the longer they were rotting on their feet. I still didn’t like seeing the high school kids in West Point, though. Something about seeing dead kids walking around their old school felt off.
I swung the crowbar into the woman’s head, and she fell to the floor. She wriggled to get herself back up. I stood over her, lifting the crowbar up high to finish her off. She turned to me from the floor.
“Pleaassse…” she gurgled.
I froze.
“What!?” I shouted.
The dead woman lunged at my shin. I stepped back and kicked her over onto her front. I planted my foot onto her chest.
“Did you just fucking speak?” I yelled. “Answer me!” I screamed.
“Pleeaasss…” she rasped from her throat.
I jumped off her and backed up.
“No… No… You’re fucking dead. You’re… cold. Dead!” I stammered in disbelief.
The dead woman wriggled back to her feet and shambled towards me again, arms raised and growling.
“Pleeassss…” she snarled.
I swung the hook of the crowbar into the side of her head, instantly silencing her and sending her limp. I wrenched the crowbar free from her skull and let her tumble to the floor. I kicked her over onto her back.
“No way. Nuh-uh. I imagined that. There’s no way you were talking,” I said.
I was talking to a corpse that had been rotting for nearly two months. Even though they were still walking around, they weren’t conscious. None of them were still alive. They couldn’t be.
I shook it off and started to look around for a pick-up in decent shape. I found a white one, but I had to hotwire it to get it working. After several attempts, the engine turned over, and I parked it outside the clothing outlet northwest of the intersection. I raided the store for warmer clothes and anything else I wanted. I stuffed my liberated clothing into garbage bags and tossed them into the truck's flatbed. I filled it with the gas can I’d brought, but I stopped when I caught myself staring at the dead lady in the middle of the intersection.
I stopped filling up the truck, making sure I had a little bit of gas left. I walked over to the dead woman and stared into her broken, ashen face. I poured the gasoline over her body, grabbed a cigarette, lit it with a match, and then tossed it onto her. The Vapours ignited, and I stepped back as she started to burn.
“If she was still alive, she’s gone now,” Maddy said.
“I hope so. You don’t think they’re still alive in there somehow?” I asked, turning to Maddy.
“If they are, you’re doing them a favour,” she shrugged. “That seems like hell on earth. Unable to die, wandering around forever.”
I stood and smoked the cigarette as the corpse burned. When I was finished, I dropped the butt and crushed it with my boot.
“Let’s go home,” I said to Maddy.

9/7/93
I woke up nervous and apprehensive but also kind of excited. It was the first time that I had ever fired a gun. I set up a spare lawn chair out the back toward the pier and put a log on it for something to shoot at. With the sailboat on my right, I stood with my target down range.“Alright, so that magazine said to put the shells in here,” I mumbled as I tipped the gun in one hand.
That morning was chilly enough to warrant breaking out my Dad’s old bomber jacket. I’d stuffed a fistful of shells into the pocket. I pulled them one at a time and slid them into the shotgun breach.

Chunks of their faces missing, and bones sticking out. It was becoming more common the longer they were rotting on their feet. I still didn’t like seeing the high school kids in West Point, though. Something about seeing dead kids walking around their old school felt off.
I swung the crowbar into the woman’s head, and she fell to the floor. She wriggled to get herself back up. I stood over her, lifting the crowbar up high to finish her off. She turned to me from the floor.
“Pleaassse…” she gurgled.
I froze.
“What!?” I shouted.
The dead woman lunged at my shin. I stepped back and kicked her over onto her front. I planted my foot onto her chest.
“Did you just fucking speak?” I yelled. “Answer me!” I screamed.
“Pleeaasss…” she rasped from her throat.
I jumped off her and backed up.
“No… No… You’re fucking dead. You’re… cold. Dead!” I stammered in disbelief.
The dead woman wriggled back to her feet and shambled towards me again, arms raised and growling.
“Pleeassss…” she snarled.
I swung the hook of the crowbar into the side of her head, instantly silencing her and sending her limp. I wrenched the crowbar free from her skull and let her tumble to the floor. I kicked her over onto her back.
“No way. Nuh-uh. I imagined that. There’s no way you were talking,” I said.
I was talking to a corpse that had been rotting for nearly two months. Even though they were still walking around, they weren’t conscious. None of them were still alive. They couldn’t be.
I shook it off and started to look around for a pick-up in decent shape. I found a white one, but I had to hotwire it to get it working. After several attempts, the engine turned over, and I parked it outside the clothing outlet northwest of the intersection. I raided the store for warmer clothes and anything else I wanted. I stuffed my liberated clothing into garbage bags and tossed them into the truck's flatbed. I filled it with the gas can I’d brought, but I stopped when I caught myself staring at the dead lady in the middle of the intersection.
I stopped filling up the truck, making sure I had a little bit of gas left. I walked over to the dead woman and stared into her broken, ashen face. I poured the gasoline over her body, grabbed a cigarette, lit it with a match, and then tossed it onto her. The Vapours ignited, and I stepped back as she started to burn.
“If she was still alive, she’s gone now,” Maddy said.
“I hope so. You don’t think they’re still alive in there somehow?” I asked, turning to Maddy.
“If they are, you’re doing them a favour,” she shrugged. “That seems like hell on earth. Unable to die, wandering around forever.”
I stood and smoked the cigarette as the corpse burned. When I was finished, I dropped the butt and crushed it with my boot.
“Let’s go home,” I said to Maddy.
2024.01.28 17:51 No-Donkey-4279 The result of the “worst builds”
A couple of days ago I made a post on here asking about the worst builds you all could think of. I’m trying to lose on normal difficulty and I asked Reddit’s help with it. This is the result(might add more, so you can make suggestions):

Anna+Lyn: Class: Thief. Skills: Lunar brace+, Keen insight+. Weapons: Peshkatz(Fates).
Hortensia+Hector: Class: Halberdier. Skills: Break defenses, Lance Agility 5. Weapons: Flame lance(Bonds), venomous(binding).

2023.12.27 21:17 HoselRockit Top Ten 20th Century Style
I picked ten movies from the previous century that I have watched many times. They are not obscure, but they don’t get talked about as often as some others. Also, I tried to add a short blurb as I assume everyone may not be intimately familiar with all of them.
The General (1926): A great silent era action-comedy starring Buster Keaton. Guaranteed laughs.
The Dawn Patrol (1938): Possibly the most popular version of this film. Combines the romance of WW I pilots with the reality of sending men into combat. Stars Errol Flynn, David Niven and Basil Rathbone.
The Big Sleep (1946): A great Film-Noir with a plot that’s difficult to follow. Don’t worry about that, just enjoy the great acting and snappy dialogue. Directed by Howard Hawks, based on a novel by Raymond Chandler and a screen play by William Faulkner; stars Bogey and Becall.
Witness for the Prosecution (1957): A courtroom drama based on a play by Agatha Christie. Directed by Billy Wilder, stars Tyronne Power, Marlene Dietrich and Charles Laughton.
Run Silent; Run Deep (1958): The submarine cat and mouse movie that inspired many other sub movies and a Star Trek episode (Balance of Terror). Directed by Robert Wise (The Day the Earth Stood Still & The Sound of Music), stars Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster.
Yojimbo (1961): A Ronin wanders into a town with two warring gangs and plays them off each other. If this sounds familiar, A Fist Full of Dollars (1964) is the Western version of this movie. Directed by Akira Kurosawa, stars Toshiro Mifune; both giants of the Japanese cinema.
Seven Days in May (1964): A political thriller about a USMC Colonel who discovers a plot by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to take over the presidency. Directed by John Frankenheimer, screen play by Rod Serling, stars Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster and Frederic March.
What’s Up Doc (1972): A screwball romantic comedy that is an homage to classics such as Bringing Up Baby. It has both witty dialogue and great sight gags. Directed by Peter Bogdanovich, written by Buck Henry, starring Barbara Steisand, Ryan O’Neal, Madeline Kahn and about twenty other people that you will recognize.
Body Heat (1981): Possibly the steamiest film-noir ever made. Directed by Lawrence Kasdan, stars William Hurt, Kathleen Turner and Ted Danson
Dark City (1998): If you like sci-fi and you like noir, then I’ve got a movie for you. Directed by Alex Proyas, stars, Rufus Sewell, Kiefer Sutherland (doing a great Peter Lorre homage) and Jennifer Connelly (this is the first installment of her “Girl on a Pier” trilogy). Do you know the way to Shell Beach?

2023.12.22 00:38 uhohmomspaghetti Reviewing Every Book I Read In 2023
First some numbers. I read or listened to 37 novels and 6 novellas(tho 2 of the Expanse novella are probably short stories, not novellas).
6 of the books I read were re-reads.
I DNF 2 of them. I only count them as DNF if I made it thru a substantial portion of them before quitting. If I DNF really early in the book I just didn't list it at all. These were Daemon by Daniel Suarez and Shadow of the Hegemon by Orson Scott Card.
I only read 2 non-fiction books this year, which is probably the fewest I've read in any year. They were Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey and The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara.
I read 32 Science Fiction novels, 6 Fantasy novels, 2 Historical Fiction novels, 2 Star Trek novels (I gave them their own 'genre'), 1 Literary Fiction novel, 1 Memoir and 1 Historical novel.
I listened to 21 audiobooks, read 13 ebooks and 10 print books.
I'm listing books in order of the rating I gave them, highest to lowest. Some of these ratings will differ from the ratings I gave right after I finished the book. Sometimes I find that a book moves up or down once I've had some time away from it.
I gave 4 books a 9/10 rating, but 11/22/63 is my Book of the Year.
Title: 11/22/63
Author: Stephen King
Format: Ebook
Genre: Fantasy (?)
Review: This is the first full Stephen King novel I've read. Despite its length (nearly 1,000 pages) I never felt bored. The story isn't particularly fast paced either. Just something about King's writing style. I understand now why he's one of the bestselling authors of all time. I think this book was hovering around a 7.5 - 8 until the final handful of pages. I shed more than a few tears at that ending.
Rating: 9/10
-------------------------------
Title: Spin (Re-read)
Author: Robert Charles Wilson
Genre: Science Fiction
Format: Ebook
Review: Just love this book. He has a way of writing characters that really resonates with me. The book was actually far less science focused than I remember. Far more character driven. I'm going to make it a point to re-read book 2 and then read book 3 for the first time.
Rating: 9/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Eye of the World (Re-read)
Author: Robert Jordan
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Fantasy
Review: The narration by Rosamund Park is quite possibly the best audiobook narration I've ever listened to. She's just on another level. Loved this book when I first read it 15 years ago. Loved it again this time around. I'm hoping to finish WoT at some point. Only got to book 5 or 6 my first time around. If she narrates more of them, I'll keep listening.
Rating: 9/10
-------------------------------
Title: Where the Crawdads Sing
Author: Delia Owens
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Literary Fiction
Review: Fantastic book. I listened to this after having watched the movie, which I also loved. Rarely have I felt so connected to a character.
Rating: 9/10
-------------------------------
Title: Inherit the Stars
Author: James P. Hogan
Format: Print
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: I liked this book a lot. Its a much better book than my first Hogan novel (Thrice Upon a Time). A human skeleton is found on the moon, but its 50,000 years old. The book is the story of slowly unraveling the mystery of how it got there. Some cool ideas that I didn't expect. Looking forward to the rest of the books in the series.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: Ender's Game (Re-read)
Author: Orson Scott Card
Genre: Science Fiction
Format: Ebook
Review: I've read this book at least a dozen times. This re-read was the first time that I felt the book wasn't a perfect 10/10. The book just doesn't hit the same way at 40 years old as it did when I was 10 or 20. It was still a very enjoyable book. Nobody writes characters quite like Card. He conveys and internal emotional life that maybe only Robert Charles Wilson and Robin Hobb can match.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: Speaker for the Dead (Re-read)
Author: Orson Scott Card
Format: Ebook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: On some days I think this book is the best of the series and on other days I think it's Ender's Game. This book explores some philosophical ideas in ways that Ender's Game never does. The speech Ender gives as Speaker for Marcao still brings me to tears every time. However, Ender is a bit too perfect. He just walks into a room and instantly analyzes every person perfectly and immediately says the exact right words to changes the hearts and minds of those around him. I still love this book, but just like its predecessor, Ender's Game, I no longer hold with quite the same level of reverence.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: A Psalm for the Wild-Built
Author: Becky Chambers
Format: Ebook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: This was the first Becky Chambers book that I've clicked with. Not a ton happens but somehow I loved it anyway. Adorable is the word that comes to mind.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: Lucifer's Hammer
Author: Larry Niven
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: I really loved this book with some major reservations. Overall, the story was thoroughly engaging. I have always enjoyed Niven's somewhat dry style. The Earth is struck by an almost world ending meteor. We see the lead up to the strike and then the slow recovery of civilization in one small area (Southern California). The major flaw is that the only group of black characters in the book just happen to become a roving band of cannibals. It's not unreasonable to think that some people might resort to cannibalism, but to make the only black characters the only cannibals... If you simply make this group a mixed group it in no way changes the overall story but makes it far less racist.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: Nor Crystal Tears
Author: Alan Dean Foster
Format: Ebook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: The book is a first contact novel, told from the viewpoint of the aliens. We follow Ryo, who is a bit of an oddball that never quite felt like he fit in with normal Thranx society. Ryo hears rumors that a new intelligent species (which turn out to be humans) was discovered and the book relays his adventures attempting first to meet the aliens.I appreciate that the author didn't try to force another 200 pages into the book just to make it longer. I'm interested to read some more of the Humanx Commonwealth novels in the future and some more Alan Dean Foster in general.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress
Author: Robert A. Heinlein
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: Really liked this a lot. I like Heinlein's writing style. The narrator really conveyed the humor well. I think I would have missed half the jokes if I had read the physical book. The book is not a comedy, its mostly serious stuff. Just a some great one-liners in there.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: Persepolis Rising
Author: James S.A. Corey
Format: Science Fiction
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: Another improvement over the previous entry. The time jump didn't bother me at all like it did for some other reviewers. There is very little that makes the time jump apparent. The author just tells us the crew is older and they ache some and they have grey hair. But beyond that, its still the same crew. More action in this book than previous two and the space fascist bad guys are interesting. I have high hopes for the final two books in the series.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Dragonbone Chair (Re-read)
Author: Tad Williams
Format: Print
Genre: Fantasy
Review: This is technically a reread, but I remember almost nothing about this book except for some vague and unimportant scenes about 2/3 through the book. I really loved this book. Its so slow, but I loved his prose and didn't mind the slow build. My biggest complaint is that many of the characters feel non-distinct. Miriamele and Maegwin feel like the same person. I couldn't tell you who Guthwilf, Fengbald and Isgrimnur are and what role they have in the story and what the differences are between the lands they come from as they just sort of blend together. Other characters are obviously quite distinct like Binibik, Geloe, Josua and Elias.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Thousand Earths
Author: Stephen Baxter
Format: Ebook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: One of my favorite new reads of the year. Not perfect, but I do find myself randomly thinking about it from time to time. Its the first Baxter I've read, and I hear that some of the themes in this book are ground he's already tread on before. But for me, it was all new. Really liked it and will certainly be seeking out more Baxter in the future.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: Neverness
Author: David Zindell
Format: Print
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: Really interesting world building. In fact, some of the most intriguing world building I've read since probably Hyperion. I do think some of the world building devolves into listing things a bit too often. Things that don't every really get explained and are just there to make you think the world is complex. Like he will list 14 names of pilots that did important stuff but you only learn about one of them. Or will list 10 different castes/classes/jobs (whatever they are called in universe) with no explanation of what 8 of them are. Some amount of this can be very effective. It adds mystery. But the author overdoes it a bit. Even late in the book you will see lists of heretofore unmentioned things with little bearing on the storing. I really liked the piloting parts. Really unique idea. The main character is often annoying and arrogant, but intentionally so. We are supposed to be frustrated by him. The caveman part was OK, but was a bit too long. Overall, very enjoyable but could do with some editing and maybe 100 fewer pages.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: To Kill a Mockingbird
Author: Harper Lee
Format: Ebook
Genre: Historical Fiction
Review: Really loved this book. Much more than I expected to. I finally understand why its such a classic.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Churn
Author: James S.A. Corey
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: The best of the Expanse novellas I've read so far. Amos' origin story. Love the character so no surprise I loved his backstory.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: God's of Risk
Author: James S.A. Corey
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: Liked this novella a lot. Follows Bobby Draper's young cousin as he gets sucked into the seedy underworld. Bobby has to bail him out at the end.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: Ender's Shadow
Author: Orson Scott Card
Format: Science Fiction
Genre: Ebook
Review: While still enjoyable, Bean suffers from the same problem as Ender. He is too perfect. Too smart. Just too everything. The book is still good. I enjoy the parts before battle school in Rotterdam far more than the retread of the events of Ender's Game.
Rating: 7/10
-------------------------------
Title: Imzadi
Author: Peter David
Format: Ebook
Genre: Star Trek
Review: I felt as though Peter David captured the essence of the Riker character incredibly well. The overall story is a bit slow and not much really happens. But I still found myself enjoying it quite a lot.
Rating: 7/10
-------------------------------
Title: Babylon's Ashes
Author: James S.A. Corey
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: This entry picks up steam a bit compared to book 6. Still not one of my favorites of the series but I liked it more than the previous entry.
Rating: 7/10
-------------------------------
Title: Tau Zero
Author: Poul Anderson
Format: Science Fiction
Genre: Print
Review: This book packs a hell of punch for something so short. There are some outdated gender stereotypes going on but they didn't bother me too much. The story and what the crew ends up doing is a thrilling ride.
Rating: 7/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Underground Railroad
Author: Colson Whitehead
Format: Print
Genre: Historical Fiction
Review: I quite liked the opening of the book. For me it fell apart a bit when he makes the underground railroad and actual underground railroad. Each individual portion was quite engaging and often horrifying. But The effort to force of this to happen to the same character didn't work for me. I think this book would have worked better as a collection of short stories and novelettes about different characters experience different forms of racism across the US.
Rating: 7/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Killer Angels
Author: Michael Shaara
Format: Print
Genre: Historical Novel
Review: I devoured this book in just a few days. I’ve not read anything quite like it before. I do wish the book spent a little more time ‘in the trenches’ so to speak. It focuses entirely on the relatively high up officers which is great for giving a good idea of the flow of the battle but it does mostly gloss over the brutality of the battle.
Rating: 7/10
-------------------------------
Title: Greenlights
Author: Matthew McConaughey
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Memoir
Review: I listened to the audiobook version of this. Thoroughly enjoyable. He certainly has lead a unique life. I think the book was enhanced by being read by the author. I’m not sure I would have enjoyed the book if I had read the physical copy.
Rating: 7/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Vital Abyss
Author: James S.A. Corey
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: This Expanse Novella was pretty good, but didn't really captivate me the way The Churn or Gods of Risk did.
Rating: 7/10
-------------------------------
Title: Drive
Author: James S.A. Corey
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: Short, but I liked it. The story of the invention of the Epstein drive.
Rating: 7/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Song of Achilles
Author: Madeline Miller
Format: Ebook
Genre: Fantasy
Review: This gets a 6 mostly on the strength of the prose. Its bare and simple language with little description and somehow flows off the page beautifully. The story itself is so-so. Its a bit hamstrung by the source material. But it drags in the middle quite a lot. I also felt that the heel turn Achilles makes at the end just feels out of character entirely. I understand he has to do these things otherwise the author is changing the myth entirely. But its like she builds this one version of Achilles and then when they get to Troy she drops in a new version of Achilles.
Rating: 6/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Forge of God
Author: Greg Bear
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: This is the second book by Greg Bear that I've read. The first was Blood Music which I loved. This book did not live up to my expectations unfortunately. It's just kind of boring. The characters have no personality. I couldn't even name them or tell you which character did which thing. Except for the religious US President. The ending is very exciting and by far the best part of the book. But then just a few pages later the ending is more or less undone. The Earth is destroyed, a select few are saved. They get put in cryogenic sleep and wake up to a brand new Earth built for them. I'll probably read book 2 at some point as I hear that its better, but I don't feel any urge to do so anytime soon.
Rating: 6/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Three-Body Problem
Author: Cixin Liu
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: I was very intrigued by the setting in the Chinese cultural revolution. The story doesn't stay there for long unfortunately. I was very intrigued by the mystery that gets set up early where the universe 'blinks'. I really had no idea how the author was going to pull off a satisfying explanation, but assumed they would bc of the amount of praise the book receives. Well I was wrong. I slogged through the middle 2/3 of the book to just be completely let down. The explanation is that it doesn't, its just a magic computer inside of proton or whatever. Just utterly stupid.
Rating: 6/10
-------------------------------
Title: Terms of Enlistment
Author: Marko Kloos
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: There was nothing really wrong with this book. I think I mostly enjoyed it as I was listening to it. But it was somewhat generic action, military SF. Not much depth beyond that.
Rating: 6/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Dispossessed
Author: Ursula K. Le Guin
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: Some interesting ideas. The way the story bounced back and forth between past and present similar to the way the mathematician's theory of simultaneity was neat. But the philosophical angles felt a bit to ham-fisted for me.
Rating: 6/10
-------------------------------
Title: Sheepfarmer's Daughter
Author: Elizabeth Moon
Format: Print
Genre: Fantasy
Review: Really strong opening. I like Moon's prose. After the first 1/3, the story loses all of its steam. I understand its intended to convey the viewpoint of a military grunt who doesn't know much abut the overall battle. They can only see what's happening right in front of them. But this makes it a bit boring. The training parts at the beginning and the parts where Paks is running through the woods to warn the rest of the army are the best parts of the book. I'll likely return to this series at some point as there was certainly enough good here that I have hope the final two books will improve on the first since she is no longer in the army.
Rating: 6/10
-------------------------------
Title: Consider Phlebas
Author: Iain M. Banks
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: Interesting universe. Somewhat boring and pointless story. Some things thrown in for shock value that add little to the story. I'm 50/50 to read more Culture books. Player of Games and Use of Weapons are supposed to be far better books, so maybe.
Rating: 6/10
-------------------------------
Title: Nemesis Games
Author: James S.A. Corey
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: The weakest of The Expanse novels I've read so far. I think its mostly moving some pieces around to set up for more interesting stuff down the line. But it does just kind of drag on and on. The story does pick up towards the end and I quite like the Amos/Clarissa relationship.

Title: The Butcher of Anderson Station

Title: Shadow of the Hegemon
Author: Orson Scott Card
Format: Ebook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: This book continues the trend from the other books in this universe-all the characters are too smart and too capable. I decided not to continue at about the 50% mark.I loved this book on my first read 10+ years ago but this time I was just over the Mary Sue trope in these books.

Title: Death in Winter
Author: Jan Michael Friedman

Review: The perfect 5. No flaws that make this book particularly bad. But nothing stands out that makes it particularly good either. Its like a Star Trek episode that I might skip on a re-watch. Or not. Depending on my mood.

Title: Thrice Upon a Time
Author: James P. Hogan
Format: Print
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: Another perfect 5. The best bits are when the scientists are sort of geeking out trying to understand the rules of the time travel they've discovered. Everything else is pretty meh. This novel probably could have been very good if it was 150 pages instead of 350.

Title: Daemon
Author: Daniel Suarez
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction (maybe Techno-Thriller is a better name for it)
Review: I think somewhere around the time the cop has a martial arts battle with his mistress is where I started to realize this book was not for me. I stuck it out for a while after but I found that I just was not really intrigued by any of the mystery and the action was a little too much like a bad 80s movie. I think this book will actually work for a lot of people. It isn't really 'bad'. It's just not for me at all.

Title: Stone of Farewell
Author: Tad Williams

Review: Blah. This book was so unbelievably slow with almost no payoff. Far longer than it needed to be. I don't know if I can bear to read book 3 if its more of this. I adored book 1 despite its flaws. In this entry the flaws far outweighed the good.

Title: The Legacy of Heorot
Author: Larry Niven
Format: Print
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: Only gets a 2 rating because there aren't any noticeable spelling errors. Legitimately the worst book I've ever bothered to finish. The main character is awful but its clear that the author doesn't think he is. The chauvinism was so over the top that it made half of the book unbearable to read. Gah! I'm mad at myself for not throwing the book in the garbage after 50 pages like I wanted to.

6 of the books I read were re-reads.
I DNF 2 of them. I only count them as DNF if I made it thru a substantial portion of them before quitting. If I DNF really early in the book I just didn't list it at all. These were Daemon by Daniel Suarez and Shadow of the Hegemon by Orson Scott Card.
I only read 2 non-fiction books this year, which is probably the fewest I've read in any year. They were Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey and The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara.
I read 32 Science Fiction novels, 6 Fantasy novels, 2 Historical Fiction novels, 2 Star Trek novels (I gave them their own 'genre'), 1 Literary Fiction novel, 1 Memoir and 1 Historical novel.
I listened to 21 audiobooks, read 13 ebooks and 10 print books.
I'm listing books in order of the rating I gave them, highest to lowest. Some of these ratings will differ from the ratings I gave right after I finished the book. Sometimes I find that a book moves up or down once I've had some time away from it.
I gave 4 books a 9/10 rating, but 11/22/63 is my Book of the Year.
Title: 11/22/63
Author: Stephen King
Format: Ebook
Genre: Fantasy (?)
Review: This is the first full Stephen King novel I've read. Despite its length (nearly 1,000 pages) I never felt bored. The story isn't particularly fast paced either. Just something about King's writing style. I understand now why he's one of the bestselling authors of all time. I think this book was hovering around a 7.5 - 8 until the final handful of pages. I shed more than a few tears at that ending.
Rating: 9/10

Title: Spin (Re-read)
Author: Robert Charles Wilson
Genre: Science Fiction
Format: Ebook
Review: Just love this book. He has a way of writing characters that really resonates with me. The book was actually far less science focused than I remember. Far more character driven. I'm going to make it a point to re-read book 2 and then read book 3 for the first time.
Rating: 9/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Eye of the World (Re-read)
Author: Robert Jordan
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Fantasy
Review: The narration by Rosamund Park is quite possibly the best audiobook narration I've ever listened to. She's just on another level. Loved this book when I first read it 15 years ago. Loved it again this time around. I'm hoping to finish WoT at some point. Only got to book 5 or 6 my first time around. If she narrates more of them, I'll keep listening.
Rating: 9/10

Title: Where the Crawdads Sing
Author: Delia Owens
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Literary Fiction
Review: Fantastic book. I listened to this after having watched the movie, which I also loved. Rarely have I felt so connected to a character.
Rating: 9/10
-------------------------------
Title: Inherit the Stars
Author: James P. Hogan
Format: Print
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: I liked this book a lot. Its a much better book than my first Hogan novel (Thrice Upon a Time). A human skeleton is found on the moon, but its 50,000 years old. The book is the story of slowly unraveling the mystery of how it got there. Some cool ideas that I didn't expect. Looking forward to the rest of the books in the series.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: Ender's Game (Re-read)
Author: Orson Scott Card
Genre: Science Fiction
Format: Ebook
Review: I've read this book at least a dozen times. This re-read was the first time that I felt the book wasn't a perfect 10/10. The book just doesn't hit the same way at 40 years old as it did when I was 10 or 20. It was still a very enjoyable book. Nobody writes characters quite like Card. He conveys and internal emotional life that maybe only Robert Charles Wilson and Robin Hobb can match.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: Speaker for the Dead (Re-read)
Author: Orson Scott Card
Format: Ebook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: On some days I think this book is the best of the series and on other days I think it's Ender's Game. This book explores some philosophical ideas in ways that Ender's Game never does. The speech Ender gives as Speaker for Marcao still brings me to tears every time. However, Ender is a bit too perfect. He just walks into a room and instantly analyzes every person perfectly and immediately says the exact right words to changes the hearts and minds of those around him. I still love this book, but just like its predecessor, Ender's Game, I no longer hold with quite the same level of reverence.
Rating: 8/10

Title: A Psalm for the Wild-Built
Author: Becky Chambers
Format: Ebook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: This was the first Becky Chambers book that I've clicked with. Not a ton happens but somehow I loved it anyway. Adorable is the word that comes to mind.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: Lucifer's Hammer
Author: Larry Niven
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: I really loved this book with some major reservations. Overall, the story was thoroughly engaging. I have always enjoyed Niven's somewhat dry style. The Earth is struck by an almost world ending meteor. We see the lead up to the strike and then the slow recovery of civilization in one small area (Southern California). The major flaw is that the only group of black characters in the book just happen to become a roving band of cannibals. It's not unreasonable to think that some people might resort to cannibalism, but to make the only black characters the only cannibals... If you simply make this group a mixed group it in no way changes the overall story but makes it far less racist.
Rating: 8/10

Title: Nor Crystal Tears
Author: Alan Dean Foster
Format: Ebook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: The book is a first contact novel, told from the viewpoint of the aliens. We follow Ryo, who is a bit of an oddball that never quite felt like he fit in with normal Thranx society. Ryo hears rumors that a new intelligent species (which turn out to be humans) was discovered and the book relays his adventures attempting first to meet the aliens.I appreciate that the author didn't try to force another 200 pages into the book just to make it longer. I'm interested to read some more of the Humanx Commonwealth novels in the future and some more Alan Dean Foster in general.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress
Author: Robert A. Heinlein
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: Really liked this a lot. I like Heinlein's writing style. The narrator really conveyed the humor well. I think I would have missed half the jokes if I had read the physical book. The book is not a comedy, its mostly serious stuff. Just a some great one-liners in there.
Rating: 8/10

Title: Persepolis Rising
Author: James S.A. Corey
Format: Science Fiction
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: Another improvement over the previous entry. The time jump didn't bother me at all like it did for some other reviewers. There is very little that makes the time jump apparent. The author just tells us the crew is older and they ache some and they have grey hair. But beyond that, its still the same crew. More action in this book than previous two and the space fascist bad guys are interesting. I have high hopes for the final two books in the series.
Rating: 8/10

Title: The Dragonbone Chair (Re-read)
Author: Tad Williams
Format: Print
Genre: Fantasy
Review: This is technically a reread, but I remember almost nothing about this book except for some vague and unimportant scenes about 2/3 through the book. I really loved this book. Its so slow, but I loved his prose and didn't mind the slow build. My biggest complaint is that many of the characters feel non-distinct. Miriamele and Maegwin feel like the same person. I couldn't tell you who Guthwilf, Fengbald and Isgrimnur are and what role they have in the story and what the differences are between the lands they come from as they just sort of blend together. Other characters are obviously quite distinct like Binibik, Geloe, Josua and Elias.
Rating: 8/10

Title: The Thousand Earths
Author: Stephen Baxter
Format: Ebook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: One of my favorite new reads of the year. Not perfect, but I do find myself randomly thinking about it from time to time. Its the first Baxter I've read, and I hear that some of the themes in this book are ground he's already tread on before. But for me, it was all new. Really liked it and will certainly be seeking out more Baxter in the future.
Rating: 8/10
-------------------------------
Title: Neverness
Author: David Zindell
Format: Print
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: Really interesting world building. In fact, some of the most intriguing world building I've read since probably Hyperion. I do think some of the world building devolves into listing things a bit too often. Things that don't every really get explained and are just there to make you think the world is complex. Like he will list 14 names of pilots that did important stuff but you only learn about one of them. Or will list 10 different castes/classes/jobs (whatever they are called in universe) with no explanation of what 8 of them are. Some amount of this can be very effective. It adds mystery. But the author overdoes it a bit. Even late in the book you will see lists of heretofore unmentioned things with little bearing on the storing. I really liked the piloting parts. Really unique idea. The main character is often annoying and arrogant, but intentionally so. We are supposed to be frustrated by him. The caveman part was OK, but was a bit too long. Overall, very enjoyable but could do with some editing and maybe 100 fewer pages.

Title: The Churn

Title: God's of Risk
Author: James S.A. Corey
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: Liked this novella a lot. Follows Bobby Draper's young cousin as he gets sucked into the seedy underworld. Bobby has to bail him out at the end.
Rating: 8/10

Title: Ender's Shadow
Author: Orson Scott Card
Format: Science Fiction
Genre: Ebook
Review: While still enjoyable, Bean suffers from the same problem as Ender. He is too perfect. Too smart. Just too everything. The book is still good. I enjoy the parts before battle school in Rotterdam far more than the retread of the events of Ender's Game.
Rating: 7/10
-------------------------------
Title: Imzadi
Author: Peter David
Format: Ebook
Genre: Star Trek
Review: I felt as though Peter David captured the essence of the Riker character incredibly well. The overall story is a bit slow and not much really happens. But I still found myself enjoying it quite a lot.
Rating: 7/10

Title: Babylon's Ashes
Author: James S.A. Corey
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: This entry picks up steam a bit compared to book 6. Still not one of my favorites of the series but I liked it more than the previous entry.
Rating: 7/10
-------------------------------
Title: Tau Zero
Author: Poul Anderson
Format: Science Fiction
Genre: Print
Review: This book packs a hell of punch for something so short. There are some outdated gender stereotypes going on but they didn't bother me too much. The story and what the crew ends up doing is a thrilling ride.
Rating: 7/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Underground Railroad
Author: Colson Whitehead
Format: Print
Genre: Historical Fiction
Review: I quite liked the opening of the book. For me it fell apart a bit when he makes the underground railroad and actual underground railroad. Each individual portion was quite engaging and often horrifying. But The effort to force of this to happen to the same character didn't work for me. I think this book would have worked better as a collection of short stories and novelettes about different characters experience different forms of racism across the US.
Rating: 7/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Killer Angels
Author: Michael Shaara
Format: Print
Genre: Historical Novel
Review: I devoured this book in just a few days. I’ve not read anything quite like it before. I do wish the book spent a little more time ‘in the trenches’ so to speak. It focuses entirely on the relatively high up officers which is great for giving a good idea of the flow of the battle but it does mostly gloss over the brutality of the battle.
Rating: 7/10
-------------------------------
Title: Greenlights
Author: Matthew McConaughey
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Memoir
Review: I listened to the audiobook version of this. Thoroughly enjoyable. He certainly has lead a unique life. I think the book was enhanced by being read by the author. I’m not sure I would have enjoyed the book if I had read the physical copy.
Rating: 7/10

Title: The Vital Abyss
Author: James S.A. Corey
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction

Genre: Science Fiction
Review: Short, but I liked it. The story of the invention of the Epstein drive.
Rating: 7/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Song of Achilles
Author: Madeline Miller
Format: Ebook
Genre: Fantasy
Review: This gets a 6 mostly on the strength of the prose. Its bare and simple language with little description and somehow flows off the page beautifully. The story itself is so-so. Its a bit hamstrung by the source material. But it drags in the middle quite a lot. I also felt that the heel turn Achilles makes at the end just feels out of character entirely. I understand he has to do these things otherwise the author is changing the myth entirely. But its like she builds this one version of Achilles and then when they get to Troy she drops in a new version of Achilles.
Rating: 6/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Forge of God
Author: Greg Bear
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: This is the second book by Greg Bear that I've read. The first was Blood Music which I loved. This book did not live up to my expectations unfortunately. It's just kind of boring. The characters have no personality. I couldn't even name them or tell you which character did which thing. Except for the religious US President. The ending is very exciting and by far the best part of the book. But then just a few pages later the ending is more or less undone. The Earth is destroyed, a select few are saved. They get put in cryogenic sleep and wake up to a brand new Earth built for them. I'll probably read book 2 at some point as I hear that its better, but I don't feel any urge to do so anytime soon.
Rating: 6/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Three-Body Problem
Author: Cixin Liu
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: I was very intrigued by the setting in the Chinese cultural revolution. The story doesn't stay there for long unfortunately. I was very intrigued by the mystery that gets set up early where the universe 'blinks'. I really had no idea how the author was going to pull off a satisfying explanation, but assumed they would bc of the amount of praise the book receives. Well I was wrong. I slogged through the middle 2/3 of the book to just be completely let down. The explanation is that it doesn't, its just a magic computer inside of proton or whatever. Just utterly stupid.
Rating: 6/10
-------------------------------
Title: Terms of Enlistment
Author: Marko Kloos
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: There was nothing really wrong with this book. I think I mostly enjoyed it as I was listening to it. But it was somewhat generic action, military SF. Not much depth beyond that.
Rating: 6/10
-------------------------------
Title: The Dispossessed
Author: Ursula K. Le Guin
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: Some interesting ideas. The way the story bounced back and forth between past and present similar to the way the mathematician's theory of simultaneity was neat. But the philosophical angles felt a bit to ham-fisted for me.
Rating: 6/10
-------------------------------
Title: Sheepfarmer's Daughter
Author: Elizabeth Moon
Format: Print
Genre: Fantasy
Review: Really strong opening. I like Moon's prose. After the first 1/3, the story loses all of its steam. I understand its intended to convey the viewpoint of a military grunt who doesn't know much abut the overall battle. They can only see what's happening right in front of them. But this makes it a bit boring. The training parts at the beginning and the parts where Paks is running through the woods to warn the rest of the army are the best parts of the book. I'll likely return to this series at some point as there was certainly enough good here that I have hope the final two books will improve on the first since she is no longer in the army.
Rating: 6/10
-------------------------------
Title: Consider Phlebas
Author: Iain M. Banks
Format: Audiobook
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: Interesting universe. Somewhat boring and pointless story. Some things thrown in for shock value that add little to the story. I'm 50/50 to read more Culture books. Player of Games and Use of Weapons are supposed to be far better books, so maybe.
Rating: 6/10

Recently got my grandma’s high school yearbook. All girls school. Many of them listed their fist and middle names, and those that didn’t or didn’t have middle names I listened as just their first. What’s your favorite? I love Virginia Valerie, Audrey Virginia, Audrey Irene, Helene Therese, Blanche Clare, Joan Catherine.

2023.12.05 09:06 First-Stay-7824 Recently openly considered/discussed that I may have internalized ableism; Discussing Celeste's story in relation to that
 | If my drafts have been any indication, I have wanted to make a post on this sub about my experience with the story for a long time now.I'm someone who found myself interacting a lot with the fanbase(on reddit) before I actually played, somehow not getting spoiled on much. But what was immediately obvious is how much praise the story gets and how many people it has affected and strengthened in different ways. Getting into the game at this point, almost 5 years after release, was essentially after it had left it's mark in indie game and videogame culture as a whole.Now I'm in no way saying that the story doesn't deserve it's fanfare, but let's just say I was(and still partially am) struggling through some very specific kind of problems, that I thought (before playing it) that Celeste wouldn't really have good answers to. And at the time, it didn't. But 10 months later, I left a comment on a post that was pretty much a small scale version of one of these drafts that I've been talking about, and that satisfied me enough to dismiss the idea of making a big post for a while. submitted by First-Stay-7824 to celestegame [link] [comments] Processing img by3g4gsjmq3c1... the other fixation in question (the amount of hours is no longer accurate but the general difference is still the same)the video essay in question (' Understanding Celeste A Reading of a Masterpiece ' it's really good! but be wary of clicking on the top right YTAPI has unfortunately succumbed to being another video rehost website that immediately links to suspicious "click allow" websites when trying to watch videos normally, which is unfortunate because I liked it for it's lack of ads and nifty extra features)(if you don't trust it at all here's the regular youtube link )the post I was commenting on Processing img x0szny0rer3c1... So, what does any of this have to do with internalized ableism?I have been diagnosed with Autism for as long as I can remember and ADHD since at least 11; The harrowing experiences I mention from school and online spaces were primarily in part due to extreme pressure to get involved with activism and/or politics in 2020 onwards, and as I would later find out, a general feeling that I had been left out of the "real world".And at the time I didn't know how to ask for any coping advice or even vent out my feelings properly, adding to the feeling that I was alone in my suffering. It took me around halfway through my senior year of high school to even write about this to my parents for the first time.If the youth activists at my school would go by the phrase "Your heart is a muscle the size of your fist", then my heart was only being used as a weapon, never being taught how to use it to love other cultures, and that weapon was constantly pointed at me. I eventually got therapy after high school, and was later diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Celeste has a protagonist who also suffers from anxiety and depression, but I feel as though it's in different ways, a realization I would come to make 8/9 months after the first(and second) playthrough. I am depressed(not so much anymore due to antidepressants) due to all the doom gloom and sadness exposed to me both with and without my consent, and anxious because the subliminal(and sometimes literal) messages about the state of the world drilled, hammered and sliced into me.To my knowledge, Madeline's reasons for being depressed and anxious are purposely left vague so that the player can project their own problems onto her, as their vessel; but before I made this connection, no reasons provided meant she was only relatable in the most generally applicable ways. Like when she says "I can't stop thinking about dumb crap that doesn't matter." , while yes I relate to that, it doesn't feel significant or impactful. Especially when so many others who "can't think about dumb crap" are able to hold up the standards that I simply can't.And for the same reason, I can't really see Badeline being projected as internalized ableism either. The things she says just don't hit the right notes. I used to have a pessimistic and downright self hateful part of my inner voice just like her, but once I got over that and no longer felt like I loathed myself as much, I hadn't felt like I had hugged myself per se. There's also the fact that Celeste is very much an introspective and self contained story, with little reference to the possible threats in the outside world or Madeline's daily life that dig and claw at her(or, in this case, my) mental wellbeing. Heck, I don't even think it's likely that Badeline could be percieved as internalized transphobia either, especially given that I'm pretty sure Maddy Thorson and the other writers were already pretty accepting of trans folk before thorson came to. Speaking of that...We of course all know Madeline is trans, but there's nothing to imply that she sticks up for those like her, or that she feels pressure to do so, or if said pressure and/or pressure from oppressors contributes to her depression. I myself se my identity as genderfluid, but I don't really relate to any of the trans theming in Celeste; I moreso just see Madeline as another lgbt+ person. An icon for others sure but not much for me. I hope the points I made about Badeline not fitting with the internal ableism lens and the game as a whole fitting way better with a trans lens are the most discussed things in the comments, because I was hoping those parts of the post would be larger, but alas this post has essentially defeated me in terms of time management and I couldn't think of how to get those down. It's currently 12:04 AM as I'm writing this; another one of the cons of ADHD I suppose. A word of wisdom that my brother, who coincidentally is also transmasculine, gave me after I described my struggles to him was"The world is unfortunately good at trying to make people ignore their limits." As a(hopefully) more light hearted send-off to this post, I'd like to discuss some other games that had a similar positive effect on me as celeste has with others. - Pizza Tower: The track Thousand March is one that I have attached this personal trauma to, though this is most certainly unintentional. It's not just the fact the track's intense nature gets across what can go through my head while breaking down, accompanied by the helplessness of being under world rule and many many acts of violence, but the fact that it's tied to this neurotic man rushing his way through a warzone, someone usually seen in "immature" and "nonserious" scenarios who also doesn't often speak and is seemingly uncaring as to why a war is even going on but wants out of it, spoke to me. While I don't actually agree with the theories that Peppino has veteran PTSD, the possibility that he does have some form of trauma feels almost cathartic...! The more intense remixes amplify this feeling even further, although more often I'm not trying to feel this way and just want to listen to the original only for how hard it slaps and for none of this external meaning.And you bet your ass I'm listening to it right now.Also it's ironic how my 700 hours in-game is definitely thanks to mods, most notably custom levels, yet I have played no Celeste mods despite installing everest. And I don't intend to until I've gotten all those golden strawberries I mentioned, because for the longest time I saw mods as the only reason to come back to Celeste. - Chicory: A Colorful Tale; Being an artist myself, I felt I more organically connected to this game's story than Celeste's, and without any external knowledge of how it's discussed or how it should be interpreted. I particularly like the juxtaposition of this curious, optimistic dog(who I named Sausage) and a deeply self-loathing hare(Chicory); one having felt the weight of expectations crush her, and the other slowly being exposed to that weight as the game continues. Though I should note I have not finished the game as I played it through my dad's Playstation Plus subscription and it's since been taken off there, so try not to get too spoilery about anything after the bugs and Chicory directing you to the remaining wielder temples. often recommended to Celeste players too given Lena Raine also composed for it. - Have a Nice Death: Much more recent than the other ones given I first played in november, but given how what started the discussion with my parents was a joke about Henry Kissinger's death(remember that one of the departments featured in H.A.N.D is the War Department) and how I had been playing the game both that day and the day before it, I kind of naturally associate the game with that conversation, especially since I introduced my mom to it by the end. Part of the reason I could even talk about it was because before I had vented my feelings aloud in a similar manner to how I would read off the many text entries of the employee handbook. Some of the most fun I've had reading in a game, for sure! -Pikmin(series)(but mostly the first) ; Not related to the ableism thing as much as the others, but when writing this I realized the other 3 games I brought up were all indie games, and then remembered how the end of day results theme has made me tear up multiple times since playing Pikmin 4. |

2023.11.19 14:57 The_ArchMage_Erudite Act 2 Complete Platinum Checklist
[VIOLENT SPOILERS AHEAD]
-from the website Inverse :))))

-from the website Inverse :))))
Last Light Inn
- Find Dammon at the forge and give him Infernal Iron for another Karlach Upgrade. You can also give him other materials for new equipment, like the Devilfoil Masks from Grymforge for bombs.
- Talk to the Strange Ox again (found in Dammon’s forge building).
- Interact with the Bear State at the inn’s entrance for some fun character moments and lore.
- Persuade Mattis to give you the tower-shaped key, or you can buy it from him. This unlocks the Mason’s Guild.
- Speak to Jaheira and Alfira inside the Inn
- Speak to Rolan about his kidnapped siblings. He’ll then move to an area near Moonrise Towers.
- Find Mol playing chess with Raphael to the left of the inn’s entrance. You can help her, but make sure to talk to her after you speak to Raphael. You can influence whether she should accept the devil’s deal or not.
- Enter the first room on the right to find Art Cullagh, a Flaming Fist in a coma-like state. This will unlock an option to talk to Halsin at your camp, who will then come to the inn. After another conversation you’ll unlock a quest to wake up Art Cullagh, taking you to the House of Healing.
- Find the entrance to the cellar outside of the inn for a hidden area detailing the Selunites.
- When you leave Last Light the first time a group of Harpers will ask for help ambushing a convoy. This will let you get a Moonlight Lantern, which protects you from the darkness.
Shadow-Cursed Lands
- Three ruin areas to find, each of which contains loot and Shadows to fight.
- In the Northeast find the “House with Flowers” and play hide & seek with Oliver. You’ll be returning here later with Halsin to help lift the Shadow Curse.
- In the Southeast find He-Who-Was and decide whether to help him or Madeline.
- To the East of Last Light find the Abandoned Potter’s Workshop, which has more details about the Selunite Resistance.
- Find a Night Orchic then give it to Shadowheart for a scene.
- At some point while resting at camp the Owlbear cub will appear at your camp, if you saved it.
Reithwin
- Find Arabella in the graveyard. She’ll ask you to find her parents and then head to your camp. Her parents are dead, but can be found in the House of Healing. Talk to her at camp afterward.
- The pillar at the center of town has a puzzle that unlocks Shar’s Sanctuary.
Mason’s Guild
- Find Infernal Iron sitting on a table at the back of the guild.
Tollhouse
- Speak to Thorm and pay the toll. You can then convince them they no longer need to collect the toll, which will basically make them implode. You can then loot the body for some valuable gear.
- Explore the basement’s secret room. To solve the puzzle to open the door, simply drag the two stone chairs out of the sequence. Inside the room is a Greataxe +1 and Gloves of Heroism.
- Lockpick the scattered safes for extra loot.
House of Healing
- Find Arabella’s parents in the room to the right. If you use Speak With Dead on them, you’ll have more context when you talk to Arabella again.
- Speak to Dr. Thorm and either fight him or persuade him to kîll himself. This will give you an item to wake up Art Cullagh.
- Explore the library at the top for lore details.
- Explore the morgue for extra loot.
The Waning Moon
- Find Madeline’s ledger for the He-Who-Was quest.
- Talk to the bartender. You can either fight him and his lackeys, or use skill checks to make him drink until he explodes. Loot the body for equipment and a key.
- Find the Rat Killer club by the bar.
- Open the backroom with the key to find some notes and a potion stash.
Moonrise Towers
- Speak to the cook and the Gnolls in the kitchen. Make sure to be nice to the Gnolls, as doing so can make them help you later on.
- Speak to the Ogre on the first floor to learn about the “Suspicious Sounds.” If you follow and find the sounds you’ll get some interesting foreshadowing for future events.
- Speak to the weapons & armor merchant, bring Karlach for some extra dialogue.
- Speak to the Drow potions vendor and give a blood sample for the Elixer of Human Versatility. If you have Astarion in your party she’ll ask him to drink her blood. Astarion will greatly disapprove of doing it, but if you convince him you’ll get a potion that grants permanent +2 strength to one character.
- Save the prisoners from the basement, both the Gnomes and the Tieflings. After the rescue make sure to head back to Last Light and speak to Rolan, Alfira, and Bex to complete the quest.
- Investigate Balthazar’s room on the upper level. Read his books and notes, bring Gale for extra dialogue, solve the book puzzle, and grab another Moon Lantern.
- Investigate Ketheric’s room on the upper level and read his notes and books for a ton of story details.
- Investigate Isobel’s room on the upper level for some extra lore bits.
Grand Mausoleum
- Talk to Raphael outside. Agree or not to help kîll his monster. If you do agree to kîll it, he’ll give you a hint for Astarion’s companion quest.
- Read the books and notes scattered around for a ton of lore on Ketheric Thorm.
- Find the entrance to Gauntlet of Shar.
Gauntlet of Shar
- Find Balthazar in the West room. You can Persuade him to give you a bell that lets you summon Flesh in battle.
- Find Raphael’s target in the East room. Kîll him to help Raphael and Astarion, or convince him to leave (which will upset Astarion).
- Complete all three trails
- Explore the library and solve the puzzles there to get the Dark Justiciar’s Helm and Dark Justiciar’s Armor.
- Explore the bottom of the Shar statue and speak to the rat. If you eliminate all the rats and then the Justiciar you can convince Rapheal’s enemy to leave.
Mind Flayer Colony
- Rescue Zevlor from the pods in the West, and fight three Mindflayers.
- Rescue Mizora, Wyll’s patron, from the Mindflayer prison.
- In the lab find the device that lets you insert “Minds” and speak to them. You can get a permanent perk through one Mind, and lore bits through others.
- Solve the Brain node minigame to unlock the room to the Grand Design relief that shows the Mindflayer’s plan. Also, find one of the Minds in this room.
- After defeating Ketheric Thorm, make sure to loot his body and the table in the Northwest of the room.
2023.11.14 21:04 iWillNeverBeSpecial Only the best covers for me
 | So I started getting into Romance Novels since 2020 (covid) because me and my cousins went to a church yard sale that was selling all you can carry books in a box for $5. Ended up getting 42 Romance novels plus 40 other books, and ALL of them have these types of sensual smut covers on them submitted by iWillNeverBeSpecial to RomanceBooks [link] [comments] I have since been slowly working my way through them, keeping what I like and donating what I don't. I would love to hear what your opinions are on them, or if there's others I should consider to my collection |
2023.11.13 19:43 Ex_Nihilo_01 New Song. Second draft. Tell me what you think
https://voca.ro/1ktAyrQOnMSc
Here are the lyrics:
Started in the diner. Sam learns her mom's a killer on the run.
Sam is just a minor! Scarlett's gonna leave her in the care of Nathan.
Get the gun. Mom behind her.
Now Sam works for the Firm. She's got a set of skills in demand.
Has to take out a guy with a bag of dough. Turns into a mess. Saves a girl. Lots
of kills to show.
Gun Powder,
Gun Powder,
Milkshake!
Gun Powder,
Gun Powder,
Gun Powder,
Milkshake!
Parted with the Firm they put a hit on her. Think she's done!
Sam is filled with anger! Runs to a safe house to find supplies to help her!
And there she finds a crate of flash Banger!
Now Sam has help from her mom and all the guns of the Librarians.
Taking down goons with lead, bullets blazing all over!
Fists pounds, Madeline's dead they told her!
Chorus.
Back where it started. Sam faces evil father. Moms got a gun not giving up a daughter!
Librarians got the firepower now it's just for fun You know it's a slaughter!
Now Sam gets her revenge on Nathan and has Emily help with the plan.
If he doesn't call off the hit, she's gonna end him. Does what he's told they drive away it's a win!
Chorus
