Oryx and Crake part 6

[dryaunda]

    No preamble today, still recovering fatigue points from Potter binge. I'd give details but GURPS doesn't have mechanics for mental fatigue points. Maybe they could be tied to general fatigue?

Subchapters: Bottle, Oryx, Birdcall

Summary    We left off confirming that Snowman is a petty, impulsive little shit; this subchapter is more

Loves her long words, don't she? Hopefully she has more clue what they mean than Paolini did, but it's still blatant thesaurus rape.

I hate morality tales. There's no point to them except yelling "EEEEEEVIL!" like Mermaid Man every few pages.

[dryaunda]

She's nowhere near as bad as Pao-Pao, it's her cyberpunkesque neologisms that make me roll up my eyes. Ironically, she likes to use "fuck" a more than any amount of purple prose.

As for yelling "EEEEEEVIL!", how else are the high-schoolers she's targeting going to know right from wrong?

[jacedraccus]

Yeah, that's pretty annoying too. But really, 'Hymenoptera'? 'Mantid'?

I would have hoped their parents would help with that, but I guess I'm optimistic.

[dryaunda]

'Hymenoptera'? 'Mantid'?

Most people would use those terms to describe Mailee, the D&D Iconic who's constantly getting flack for her looks. Here's one of her better pictures

I would have hoped their parents would help with that[.].

Oh no, adults are considered too worldly for propaganda, remember that children were the ones drilled to Say No to Drugs and to Save the Earth.

get off the bandwagon

yes yes very nice summary, so impressed by your 'try hard to be post-postmodernist' viewpoints and internet-lit buffoon jargon

I think that your distaste with this analysis might have come off as more intelligent if you had bothered to use proper grammar and spelling. This is always considered to be a good thing. It makes you look intelligent as opposed to a Troll.

Therefor, before anyone takes you seriously, I suggest going back and rewriting this in a proper manner. Once this is done, I'm sure people would be more than happy to give a response.

Re: get off the bandwagon

[jacedraccus]

So if it hits the 'values in all good books', wouldn't THAT be the bandwagon?

Whoops. You're an idiot.

Which Bandwagon? She's on a lot of them!

k let's set u straight then shall we?

OH NO! GEOMETRY!

there's the outer layer where jimmy isn't human at all without other humans - leading onto the investigation into humanity bla bla.. dehumanisation shown in oryx (as result of stolen/shitty childhood), dehumanisation shown in general society (genetic engineering), the perfect compound life... bla bla

Yada yada? If you are bored enough to insert that sort of "meaningless babble" phrase into your opinion, why respond in the first place? Most philosophers try to treat every word as if it were golden.

bet no one can find a novel u wouldn't be able to shit on, so what's the point in posting derogatory information on authors' work? go outside and play some sport. you'll feel better about the world.

Hssss... the sun! She burns us. And we are uncoordinated. *flails*

Not that I know anything about Dryaunda's condition but that would be why I stick wit' mah Pokemon, indoors. *major thumbs up and sparkling grin*
