gellaho, Town Tamer

How do you know that

LyraV

Starfinder realizes he sucks at Hangman

public jakesy no. 1

Duh

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

"Butthole. You. Butthole. You in butthole. Orgasm."

gellaho, Town Tamer

Isn't oneness what they call marriage?

Is he married to the spacewhale now?

Gentleman Brendan

The BA radiation variant is the one you really have to worry about.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

I dunno, Starfinder. Reads more like "lightning strike tiny man" to me

gellaho, Town Tamer

Could you please tell me, Rob? I don't have your psychosis, Rob!

public jakesy no. 1

He's going to fuck that whale butthole

Space whale

Space butthole

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

"Ride log over waterfall"

gellaho, Town Tamer
FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

so yeah, space butthole

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Fuck you, Rob

gellaho, Town Tamer

Fun

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

This was all a promotion for the McRib that went horribly wrong

gellaho, Town Tamer

Holy shit

Gentleman Brendan

You don't know about the McRib's status as a gay icon?

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Starfinder's actually having sex with a cabinet

public jakesy no. 1

Lol suckin some titty milk and nutting so hard you think you're in jail

Sounds like a Good Friday night

gellaho, Town Tamer

Well, not quite, because he ends up strangling Gloria Wish to death

I guess not to death because of the cryogenic thing

Gentleman Brendan

She is the wind but her breasts are the hills, and then the sky is something? But he eats the hills. And he is the one pricked priapically? And he is blinded again but the wind sweeps him up which is her.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Yeah, she'll get better. It's fine

gellaho, Town Tamer

Then escapes with the whale

public jakesy no. 1

#678: STRANGLE LOVER TO DEATH

To spice it up a bit, try choking out your partner until she dies

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Gentleman Brendan

I'm all for poetry and fine with most of that page, but I think it kind of loses the thread around the time he's mad at the perfect woman for spooning after sex.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

That timeless line "Now, whale"

gellaho, Town Tamer

Consider the whale.

Gentleman Brendan

This insatiable woman men mistake for an angel is a drag, I'm busting out of here with the thing I hate most in the world.

Supernaught

Oh jesus christ we're only on chapter 2.

gellaho, Town Tamer

Did I go crazy?

Gentleman Brendan

Honestly, I don't hate dude's writing. He uses some quality $10 words.

John

I'm certain a chapter of Moby Dick also started "Consider the whale" you hack.

gellaho, Town Tamer

He can shove his $10 words up his $3 ass

Gentleman Brendan

But all the "Zapardow! Then fell the [algebra equation planet]" and macho bullshit can take a walk.

gellaho, Town Tamer

"Consider Starfinder. Remark his classic pose as he stands staring into time."

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

How long do we have to consider?

gellaho, Town Tamer

"Ramark upon it's rad, lightning bolt shape"

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

"I drew this during my calculus lecture. It's the Sea of Time."

Supernaught

Consider a fucking second opinion, dude.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Eleven years it took this guy to write

He had to have read through it at least once

gellaho, Town Tamer

Why is Starfinder talking like a Dickensian

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Never has a book's cover so accurately conveyed the story it contains

gellaho, Town Tamer

This was written in 1980

Ramb$ne Gracie with Scythe

((*️⃣ ))

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Metal

Give us more hell wraiths, Rob

gellaho, Town Tamer

They had time to paint a mural?

gellaho, Town Tamer

WARDROBIZER!

gellaho, Town Tamer

Fuck yes, wardrobizer!

10/10 Rob

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Finally, something sane

The clock is set to the timing of the Earth, which they've never seen

gellaho, Town Tamer

You could figure out that other shit, but not what two stick figures mean, Rob?

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

hahaha

gellaho, Town Tamer

Or Starfinder. Fuck it, they're the same to me

HAHAHA

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

👏

gellaho, Town Tamer

Instantly goes to murder, sure

Gentleman Brendan

Okay, now I hate his writing.

gellaho, Town Tamer

Three women! Quick, to the wardrobizer!

Supernaught

"slax"

Gentleman Brendan

Nobody is surprised when it's naisha

Ramb$ne Gracie with Scythe

"You know how this Ghaulians are"

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

The whale is showing him a lesbian video and he's thinking he's under attack

gellaho, Town Tamer

Syntheleather

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

It smites his eyes

gellaho, Town Tamer

I don't know why that middle "e" is in there

Ramb$ne Gracie with Scythe

I mean I was kinda joking when I made a comment about fictional prejudices, but dang

gellaho, Town Tamer

Was synthleather too passe?

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

We don't need a history lesson on a uniform!

gellaho, Town Tamer

Was Robert the oldest man on Earth when he wrote this?

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

That's it. Rob is the time traveler!

gellaho, Town Tamer

Oh, OK, that makes sense

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

ohhh

yeah, still go fuck yourself, Rob

gellaho, Town Tamer

Well, this is officially the weirdest way the redhead has been introduced, but ☑️

Gentleman Brendan

Full dress uniforms to ride a brain-damaged whale into a black hole.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Wow, hot image, Rob. She just finish taking a dump, too?

gellaho, Town Tamer

I have no idea what is going on

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Aren't there only seven women?

Gentleman Brendan

The brazenness of these ghauls

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

I don't get why they aren't murdering him

Ramb$ne Gracie with Scythe

What kind of dream is this?

Gentleman Brendan

scuse me ghaul**

LyraV

I'm starting to suspect that Rob may not have the highest opinion of women.

gellaho, Town Tamer

Sounds like the Furies need a bath

Gentleman Brendan

Every single woman in this series is oversexed and/or oversexualized and this dude isn't retiring to enjoy any of them.

gellaho, Town Tamer

There are seven women rulers

Gentleman Brendan

I wrote the above even before reading that they were gonna snoo-snoo him.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Nice of the Furies to let him choose if he wants to die by sex or violence

gellaho, Town Tamer

This is the most female representation I've had in any of these books. Other than Starfinder, there's only been two other men

And one was a surgeon who didn't get a name

One opens the back, ifyouknowwhatimean

Ramb$ne Gracie with Scythe

Zuh? I honestly don't know.

Gentleman Brendan

And yet...Gloria Wish has had half the (male) starfleet

You have to admire the full-forward dive of old-school sci-fi

gellaho, Town Tamer

We are combining too many things

Gentleman Brendan

"Yeah, this guy was blinded by radiation but he got better, and after he had sex with all seven women in the universe he rode a bomb-lobotomized spacewhale into hell's back door."

It's called "Star-Jellies of Tacyrinthia."

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Wait, they're actually The Furies?

what...

I

gellaho, Town Tamer

Because he's in the space-time continuum, I guess he can manifest things with his brain

This would have been good information to give before he pseudo-killed that lady

Gentleman Brendan

What does a man manifest when he's oversexed by alien love goddesses? Three women who pursue him relentlessly and speak only in spite.

Now he's being tried by the gods and telling them they're not worthy to judge him.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Women: They Want To Be Sex Objects To Victimize Men

Gentleman Brendan

Oh boohoo

gellaho, Town Tamer

I know Brendan wants to be fucked to death

Gentleman Brendan

You can absolutely kill me at 40 to spare me a life of whale-murder and universal entropy in exchange for snoo-snoo VS angels, and I'm already 41.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Who doesn't?

gellaho, Town Tamer

I hate poetry

John

That is extremely bad poetry, too.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Getting creative writing class flashbacks

gellaho, Town Tamer

If these whales can only communicate through bad poetry and acsii art, I'm fine with them dying

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Oneness = SO BIG!

John

I remember in 6th grade we had a poetry month. Just a bunch of 12 year olds who just discovered jerking off trying to come across as deep.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

That sounds like hell

Actual hell

John

It gets better. The teacher had us grade each other's work because she realized she didn't want to have to read our shit.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

hahahaha

John

And I have always regretted grading whoever's I got low.

I graded it on "this sucks," not whether it followed the rules.

Supernaught

Now that is brilliance.

gellaho, Town Tamer

So this is how he convinces the whale to surface so the Furies will go away

gellaho, Town Tamer

I don't get it either

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

That's not how court works

John

"Where is my other pom-pom?"

gellaho, Town Tamer

It's the third planet, dipshit

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Loft, Planet of the Stuck Key

John

All the asterisks just make it look like an exasperated editor had to censor a bunch of slurs.

Shark Puke Fetishist GDC

I just got here but I'm getting the impression I'm no closer to understanding this than anyone else.

gellaho, Town Tamer

Sure, why not

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Welcome, GDC. You'll hate this

Dammit, Starfinder, hug the whale

gellaho, Town Tamer

Uh oh, watch out NASA

John

"Where the fuck is Annie Sullivan when I need her?"

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

That glyph means he tore the page out of the binder too quickly

gellaho, Town Tamer

Wow.

John

Oh fuck you.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

This is the thought process of someone that makes bad point-and-click adventure games

gellaho, Town Tamer

StarHawk

John

A page of his rough draft got mixed in somehow.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Fuck yeah, StarHawk!

John

As bad as this sucks, you just know this guy thought he was a genius and tweaked this story until it only made sense to himself.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

It took him eleven years!

He had time to think about this!

John

According to James Joyce, that means it should take 11 years to read.

Supernaught

By this point I'm tempted to think he finished the book in a couple years, actually did give it to someone to read, and they said, "Yeah, makes sense."

And he considered that a problem.

John

Joyce was pissed that people read Finnegan's Wake in less time than it took him to write.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Well, joke's on Joyce. Most people will never read it

Supernaught

"If a mere troglodyte like you, Hypothetical Proof-Reader, can understand my magnum opus, it is not yet complete. It is not above you, yet."

John

I think we should, but we have a wrong answers only rule for figuring out what's going on.

gellaho, Town Tamer

Their death is pretty hilarious

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Dying and floating away like the grain bits in a finished bowl of Lucky Charms

John

"Posthumously trying to cushion contact" bothers me more than it should.

It's a good visual, but why do the corpses have agency?

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Because they are evil women that wanted to sex the innocent man

John

Then talk about how they boobily cushioned their impact against the ship.

gellaho, Town Tamer

He brings one of them through the sphincter tube into the reefer cabinet

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

oh god, it's becoming Gerald's Game

Gentleman Brendan

Hey, you can't say Milton! Only poets can say Milton!

...dammit, markup.

gellaho, Town Tamer

I don't think the fission reproduction is why it doesn't understand falling in love with a dead woman

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

This is what Interstellar kept threatening to turn into

Gentleman Brendan

Why did he go with the whale that he hates?

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Whale = friend

John

I'm not a genius like this guy, but how could you reproduce by fission without being your own offspring?

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

or something

gellaho, Town Tamer

It's the damnnest thing when you try to stop an accident but end up causing it

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

This isn't creepy at all

John

O

((*-|-)) = Whale

/\

dammit, you can't have leading whitespace on the first line.

gellaho, Town Tamer

Nevermind that pointless diversion, Lincoln time

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

hahaha

"President Lincoln Sick Of Time Travelers" - The Onion

LyraV

speaking of dead members

gellaho, Town Tamer

Starfinder is surprised that he is not pumped about historical executions

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

This makes perfect sense. Remember all the whales at those moments?

Gentleman Brendan

I want the time-travel book where nobody cares about the civil strife in a blip empire, but like...Dave, who accidentally planted the Jade Forest, is the real tourism sight.

John

Aren't you paying attention. History is all a lie.

Gentleman Brendan

And yet Anglo-American history is all anybody in 3114 cares about.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

He crossed time and space to focus solely on America, as God intended in His infinite wisdom

gellaho, Town Tamer

Unlike watching the planting of a tree, yeah

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

lol, dangit, scooped

Supernaught

He keeps going to sites where big speeches and dramatic battles happened and thinks "It's all hype"?!

Gentleman Brendan

Like i'd definitely go check out Hannibal...but that's because I like Hannibal. I feel the Epcot Center would be Caesar.

Supernaught

You're the one going to the basic bitch time periods, my guy.

Gentleman Brendan

And in neither case would I say, "Here it is, whale. The foundation of all Earth's sub-planets' history."

John

It's like any reference in fiction set in the far future. 2 things from 20th century America and a third wacky thing from 2450.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

We're also ignoring that apparently Greek mythology is historical fact

Like, he just proved the Greek gods are real

Those were the actual Furies

Gentleman Brendan

The Orville Problem

gellaho, Town Tamer

I mean, not exactly real. They were products of his mind

John

You misspelled "Seth McFarlane can't act."

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

oh dang, right

Gentleman Brendan

My favorite thing about Star Trek is somebody thought Kirk should have a threesome to show what a badass he is, and he impresses green women with The Black Keys.

gellaho, Town Tamer

I'm skipping over the part about Jesus not being real, because whatever. He's just grinding axes at this point

Gentleman Brendan

Like The Black Keys are unequivocally fuck music, but imagine if I shot you a sly grin, and then put on some Salieri.

gellaho, Town Tamer

Starfinder drunkenly thinks about the end of time

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Wooo! Surf the whale!

John

Jesus: Fake

Quotes he apparently holds dear: Fake

Medusa: Real and thirsty as fuck

Learning there's a hang ten emote makes me happier than you realize.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

The ascii pictures are growing on me just because it feels like this idiot is riding a star god that wants to show him doodles

Shark Puke Fetishist GDC

Ooooooooo???

I didn't know space whales spoke ghost

gellaho, Town Tamer

At the end of time, we enter the cosmic freak out portion of the book

Gentleman Brendan

DEVS

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

My god, it's full of bullshit

gellaho, Town Tamer

Fuck man, I don't know

Shark Puke Fetishist GDC

I liked this scene better in 2001.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Is this a math textbook?

I feel like we're reading the longest word problem

John

This dumbass keeps asking complicated questions who only answers in Etch-a-Sketch drawings.

gellaho, Town Tamer

Well, that was pointless. Bye!

Shark Puke Fetishist GDC

It's an engineering textbook. Calculate the moment of force on the space surfer attached to the roof of the house.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Time-surf's up, whale amigo!

Mo's Over, Synergy

I'm just checking in occasionally as usual, are they talking to a ZX Spectrum?

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Space whale

It communicates in ascii pictures

gellaho, Town Tamer

Now, star eel attack!

Shark Puke Fetishist GDC

The space whale says 8==D

John

Obviously.

I mean, if you didn't get that, and I definitely did, you're just a dummy.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Or you could look and see the eels rather than spend an hour decoding this

gellaho, Town Tamer

This sounds about as much like an eel as the Spacewhale sounds like a whale

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

"Shake it off!" our hero commands the titanic space monster being attacked by parasites

gellaho, Town Tamer

You suck, Spacewhale

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

ooooooo...

gellaho, Town Tamer

Gasp

John

That's just good writing.

How is it alive? Ignore the other identical thing that is also alive.

gellaho, Town Tamer

I'm guessing this will end well

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Gross

"Please don't mind the corpse. She's the woman I love."

John

goddammit

Gentleman Brendan

It's so weird to get a whole book of erudite star-shaman musing, and then "The whale has been attacked by a star eel!"

gellaho, Town Tamer

Impressive that the thirteen year old can steal and pilot this space eel

John

Just seeing "beginning of breasts" makes me certain I have to go register somewhere.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Pasha. Because Ishmael Pasha. Because Ishmael. Because fuck you

Shark Puke Fetishist GDC

You could have just as easily not mentioned the child's breasts.

gellaho, Town Tamer

This kid sounds annoying

Gentleman Brendan

How else to tell readers she is not a girl, not yet a woman? She has not known the tender throttling of her 1?

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

"Kid, let me rephrase the question: Do you have food?"

John

You must not have seen as many of these books as I thought. They all are uncomfortably horny for minors.

gellaho, Town Tamer

"Starfinder," Starfinder says.

Gentleman Brendan

Did America genocide the rest of the planet before taking to space or something?

gellaho, Town Tamer

I don't think I really need a complete history of this universe

LyraV

The Fates have it in for him? The ones he killed in space?

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Furies. Fates are a different set of women that will likely die horny for him

Gentleman Brendan

Women are like big-breasted space lovers: they come in threes and are busty women.

LyraV

If it's a woman is space, Starfinder can kill them

gellaho, Town Tamer

The space eel engages tentacle protocols

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

A teenage girl with a tentacle monster is not what I'd expect from Rob

Though I'm at a loss to explain why

John

He's absolutely had passionate debates with people about "censorship" in hentai.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

And he died in 1986, when that shit took work

Pixellation had to be drawn by hand

John

He hung out at the saddest stall at the filthiest flea market in Michigan.

gellaho, Town Tamer

The whale gets tired of this space eel's shit

Dolphin cop Thrillho

Keep away from my stall!

gellaho, Town Tamer

Technically the tentacles are cables that are used to control the space eel. That doesn't really explain why the space eel can move them around, but whatever

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Nice job, Starfinder. Your pet killed the girl's pet.

gellaho, Town Tamer

Nah, that was all the whale

I mean, it was dying and the eel was leeching off it

Almost like it should have been called a space leech

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

Or space remora

gellaho, Town Tamer

The Spacewhale attempts the lamest apology possible

John

This asshole uses "haecceity" but doesn't know the difference between eel and leech.

I reiterate. Fuck you, dude.

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

It means the whale's going to cut his dick off and make him a woman.

gellaho, Town Tamer

Aw, isn't that cute

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

dawww

gellaho, Town Tamer

I should attempt to explain who John Barleycorn is

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

wait, "Therapy only the whale can provide..."?

Supernaught

"Cold sober"?! You drank two gins with roofies earlier, Starman!

gellaho, Town Tamer

So he's had weird visions that have been causing his madness and psychosis. He originally called them the Monk, but when he started drinking he started calling it John Barleycorn

John

He'll draw her so many pictures.

gellaho, Town Tamer

I think?

John

Her fridge will be full of them.

gellaho, Town Tamer

So, I guess him taking deciding care of a child is his penance for being a dickhead

maybe

I don't know

FancyShark, Foe of Flip Hammer

That or "John Barleycorn" is what he calls it when the whale shits

John

I liked John Redcorn better, anyway.

gellaho, Town Tamer

But what I do know, is I'm about 112 pages into this 205 page book. So this seems like a good place to stop for now
