Hey, I'm Malk. I've been around for a while. Like, more than a decade. I'm into ancient and medieval history, especially the social and religious kind. Here are some quotes about me:
"In normal times a mad man like Malk would have been hanged for his crimes. However in this time of darkness mad men can reach positions of great power" - EndMaster
"Malk probably wrote this whole fucking story while his pasty unhealthy ass was shitting on the fucking toilet. He should be the poster child that the Ugandan preachers point to when they’re preaching to their population of 'Do not eat the poo poo.'
I’m fucking serious, that’s like ALL he fucking talks about at the secret villain lair. That he’s going to shit, how he’s going to shit, what it felt like to shit and when he’s going to be shitting next.
Fuck bran muffins, this guy is eating raw fucking twine if he’s shitting this much." - EndMaster
"Wtf is this gay shit" - Fuck u

Entry into EndMaster's 2024 Prompt Contest!
The Faceless Knights uphold divine law, crushing mutation and degeneracy whenever they encounter it. When the young lord of a recently-conquered territory calls for a true servant of God, you must answer.
This game has a sequel.
A short, silly, high-octane ride through a cyberpunk future where your bullets are few, your friends are fewer, and the long tentacles of the law are slithering up your pant legs.
I am aware that technically, writing a sentence in all capital letters is gramatically incorrect. I did this on purpose, several times, for stylistic effect. If you point this out in the reviews, a team of hit-apes will kick in your door.
Winner of EndMaster's 2024 Crisis Contest!
This is a sequel to A Prayer for Destruction. It is highly recommended that you read that work before beginning this one.
The North, that frozen-over land of fanatics and heathens, has suffered a great and mysterious calamity. The Sultan bids you raise your banners and ride in his name to investigate.
Winner of EndMaster's 2020-2021 Grimdark Contest!
Take the role of Lord Winter, an aspiring sorcerer and the scion of a noble line that has fallen into obscurity.
Contains scenes of intense gore, brutality, and sexual violence.

"Death is struck and nature quaking;
All creation is awaking,
To its Judge an answer making.
Lo, the book, exactly worded,
Wherein all hath been recorded;
Thence shall judgment be awarded.
When the Judge His seat attaineth,
And each hidden deed arraigneth,
Nothing unavenged remaineth."
-- Dies Irae
Ultimately, the fate of life is to destroy itself.

Grimdark settings, evil paths & all that RPG shit on 12/12/2024 3:44:09 PMWas impressed by how Baldurs Gate 3 has a path where you murder everyone and become a death demigod and the last you see if your character is him wandering through fields of corpses and oceans of blood
I hate Dark Fantasy but love to act like a faggot! on 12/11/2024 7:24:21 PM
It's a quote from a famous dark fantasy game you ninny

Well, if it comes down to it, I'll run it for just you and I if I have to.
I can also increase the pace if people are burning through it at a crazy rate. I wanted to keep things nice and achievable to begin with though.

Hello friends,
In 2025, I am planning on hosting an Iliad book club. Everyone is welcome to participate: the more people we have, the more fun. Helpfully, there are 12 months in a year, and 24 books of the Iliad. That breaks down to two books a month, which is an extremely manageable pace.
When we begin, I'll start a thread for discussion, and a new subthread every two weeks. I'll try to produce discussion threads. Also, I have institutional library access, so I may post some optional secondary readings if you guys like.
We will be using the new Emily Wilson translation. I will try to find PDFs and distribute them on Discord to anyone who wants one, but if you would like to acquire your own hard copy, that would be good. I think it's best if everyone goes off the same translation.
I'll post a thread on every second Saturday. If you'd like to join in, have Book 1 read by January 11 2025, and come to the thread armed with your opinions and observations.
In time, you will know the extent of my failings on 12/6/2024 10:09:26 PM
Buddy, you're a grown man who is into MLP. I'm only giving voice to what every nervous person in your life is thinking as they discretely text your picture to an emergency contact.

Yeah, I think the problem here might be that you're a pink clopping ponyboy who can only engage with media if it's giving you explicit and didactic lessons about Right and Wrong.
Also "there are no good characters in GoT" is such a common and stupid take and I have no idea where it comes from. Jon Snow, Sam Tarly, Brienne of Tarth and Davos Seaworth are all pretty noble and selfless characters who survive. There are even more if you stop being a show onlycel and get exposed to Septon Meribald, the most virtuous man in the Seven Kingdoms.

All I'm hearing here is that you don't have the courage of your insane convictions.

No, you can't actually reject the reality where "a conclusion follows premises" and substitute your own.

You told me in the other thread that a society is not acoustic just because most of its members are illiterate, because the mental structures associated with literacy apply even to illiterate members. I specifically named ancient Greece as an example of an oral culture, to which you deployed the following argument. I've tried to reconstruct it as charitably as I can, because you're kind of all over the place.
P1. There are only literate and acoustic societies.
P2. A society is not acoustic if it has members who can read.
P3. Ancient Greece had members who could read.
P4: (P2+P3) Therefore, Ancient Greece was not an acoustic society.
P5: (P4) Therefore, Ancient Greece was a literate society.
Calling hybrid animals a characteristic of acoustic societies doesn't make sense, because, as you've said, literate members of a society influence illiterate members. It's a contradiction of your own terms.

"One of the things that I've noticed about the internet is that people tend to use it to pick large narratives and things apart with all these sorts of little arguments about all the small details."
Attacking the supporting arguments that lead to what you consider a false conclusion is literally one of the most ancient forms of argument.
