I fully understand the concern

Live action with CGI is expensive and there is already history with a show being cancelled because of cost

There is a lot of material and we want to see it all (Seth MacFarlane would leave in the baby seals), but could they fit in a book in 8-10 episodes? I'm guessing the leveling and loot boxes would be the easiest to condense

Not worried about peacock censoring as the streaming platforms have the risque stuff, but I am worried they'll pull a netflix and cancel it after 1 or 2 seasons because it only got 5m viewers instead of the expected 5.25m

I'm not ready to protest or riot, but I will be fully outraged if any changes to or outright characters are removed.

Prepotente, Samantha, Sir Rend

Aw man, could you imagine that Tsrendolgor scene in live action?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm happy it's happening, I'm happy it's someone like Seth McFarlane who is good at both nerd shite and telling whatever joke he wants

Do I think a live action will survive 10 seasons? Not unless they suddenly get cheap CGI or use AI

But I like the thought of it being live action, so I'm staying glass half full for now

Personal opinion, I think the coffee make has some effect on quality of brew, but not near as much as people think

I think it is mostly keeping it clean, don't leave grinds in all day. When done, empty and rinse the pot and basket, regularly clean out and decalcify the reservoir/machine

That goes a long way to great coffee

Seems like it's Prepotente. Finished reading this past weekend and listened to Mrs. Iwys audible so I could listen to the extra bit and Prepotente's Phil Collins cover was certainly pretty gay


Nah, he's just Italian. There was that whole scene with him wanting to give his lady love interest a enhanced pet biscuit

Bald face lie

Vietnam did not get volunteers until 2023. And they do not care what languages you know. They send native spanish speakers to Asia

IF anything, he would've gone to Africa because of the French

And at the slightest sign of unrest, they evacuate. They would not send PCVs to an active warzone

I tried to find the link or quote, but Matt has said it will likely be released as a novella after book 9 pt 1 and book 9 pt 2 are released


I just realized something about Elle, but I don't want to put spoilers in just yet

Aaaand I'm done. Technically. Still have the Pineapple Cabaret bonus to finish so I won't count it yet

What a wild ride

Pun not intended

I'm on Chapter 93

Hoping to finish it today, but don't think I'll have the time

I think this book will be my #2

This Inevitable Ruin was great, but it gets edged out for me
Small things in life I guess

Who are Caroline and Maggie?
And now he's 13 and the Internet is mad at him again

Besides Katia and Bautista's romance, there's not another love interest that directly affects the plot.


How dare you not consider Samantha and just about every other character in the books as love interests affecting the plots

He could also be trolling. I don't have Instagram and haven't seen the post, but to date he hasn't made it a defining arc. It was always known in the context, as in, no one has had to say "I'm bi/gay/straight and it is what you must think of when you think of me"

Could be Mordicai and he still enjoyed his time with the granny, or was about to, as an incubus

Chris is the one that comes to mind because of the heavy hinting that Imani is into him and he could reject that, but I don't consider him a main character

Also, I am only half way through book 8 so those of you that finished may know if more of that came out yet

Matt announced on Instagram a main character is LGBTQ and the storyline is coming


Has to be bi then because all of the following had straight relationships

Carl
Donut
Elle
Imani (probably, showing interest in Chris)
Katia
Bautista
Prepotente
Louis
I'm stopping


It's obviously the AI and that has been a story line the whole series with his obsession with Carl

Could be Chris but is he even main?

I have a lot of his books and read 4 so far according to my list

Fool
Lamb
A Dirty Job
The Stupidest Angel

I rated them in that order
I don't remember The Stupidest Angel, but I only rated it 2/5, but I also went through a period where I was rating really harsh, also could because I read it out of order

I have The Serpent of Venice (Fool #2) and Island of the Sequined Love Nun on my shelf

I like his humor. Reminds me of a little less skilled but more perverted Terry Prachett

If I was by my shelf, I could confirm, but I believe I also have Bloodsucking Fiends, Bite Me, You Suck, and Razzmatazz (definitely have this one because I found a signed first edition for like 15 bucks)

Not getting much of that in DCC simply because few people have time for relationships and of all the reasons to turn on someone, sexuality is pretty damn far down the list compared to being a psycho or a backstabber.


That doesn't matter. There must be representation at all times

I haven't seen anyone complaining about it personally, but that response is typical

I mean all his sex stuff is deranged anyway. It hasn’t shied away from having gay couples, he’s done trans characters with other series. That’s why I don’t get people complaining about it not being there or saying it’s not there. It’s there, but the story really isn’t about romantic things, so it’s not going to be in your face


By representation, they likely mean it has to be a big deal that someone told you they were gay, then there has to be oppression from a third party or a big heart to heart or it has to be a main character that mentions it often

Can't be a side character where it is not their entire identity and never mentioned again

Fwiw if anyone got the email from audible about the update to book 8

Fixes chapter metadata, lack of pauses between chapters, and a cut-off sentence in the last post-credits scene

I'm halfway through heat two

Loving this book

I'm reading the hard copy. After I read the final chapter, I will compare it to the audiobook, re-download and see what changed

I just got an email from audible that there is an update to book 8 and I should delete and redownload

Has anyone gotten to the last chapter? Is there an issue with it?

Pretty sure it is not an audible edit because both penguin and audible only have publishing rights and do not edit at all

Here's the email
