3V is a cool term and I suggest we appropriate it.
3V is a cool term and I suggest we appropriate it.
And in the bathroom and maybe once or twice in the kitchen if everyone is feeling saucy.
THE RODS
I'm starting to feel a little loopy from 24 hours with no sleep and its great.
Also: magnetic bubble smelters
What the fuck does the bit in parentheses mean?
Are we making up fun phrases now?
is he some kind of Benjamin Button reverse man?
THANK You!
He moonwalks
Then he played for him the song from Trolls.
he comes in with the energy of someone stomping out
Hanley apparently brings down the tone.
but said in idiot
you have 48 hours before hallucinations in my experience
They won't be fun
I tend to not get those until at least day four.
i went 60 but didn't get hallucinations
and i feel ripped off
Try to sleep before day five. That's when you die
I get auditory hallucinations after 36 hours give or take.
Like a theoretical Benjamin Buttonhole?
Hehehe Benjamin Butt(on)hole.
That's when he's talking to the reader
anyway, does anyone know where I can smelt my magnetic bubble? Does Staples do that?
Expensive glow suits
You have to crack the suit in your hand first before it starts glowing
I think you need to contact a specialist, the guys at Staples just look up smelting on Yourtube.
that's a force field from dune 1984
I'm so sick of guys in cheap glowsuits, like some Winner's bargain bin glowsuits shmuck
"The slow blade penetrates the glow suit."
Time to steal and run
Technically, it's not hard to steal everything you can
This is a real roundabout way to tell the reader he made a way for people to fuck their own asses while flying without a plane.
Compucalc the efficacy of THE RODS
"Whatever you do, dont put two in your ass with opposing poles facing each other. Poor Steve the intern was torn in half before we could get them loose."
DEADLY RODS
One end of the rod is attracted to normal matter. Which means it sticks to everything
so what i'm hearing is that these rods are an infinite source of energy?
Just like a little kid with a balloon
"We lost Intern Darryl figuring out it sticks to things"
The other end of the rod is sapiosexual for normal matter, which means it's only attracted to sentient beings.
Everyones favorite.
Meanwhile in like a million years a whole civilization is wiped out as a random anti grav rod impacts their planet after gathering speed the entire time.
I love when a sci-fi author says fuck you, fundamental laws of physics!
guitar squeal
First you get the rods. Then you get the van.
I think it just means the rods are really pretentious and don't get hits on their dating apps
It's got a sick mural of the original lineup of Hawkwind on it, from before they kicked Lemmy out for rocking too hard.
"I'm not like you base pigs, roiling in your lusts. I can only lie there for ten minutes doing none of the work with someone I find pretentious."
It also has one of those stick figure families on the back window, but all the kids are just lines
Shit, I stole your adjective for that joke.
Phil seems like he's in the right state of mind for transporting the RODS
I'll allow it Brendan
LITERS of caffinex!
"Doctor Phil, we still havent figured out the magic rabbit clitoral and prostate stimulator attachment you wanted, but we did make a cock ring version."
His heart is going to be foam by morning
What could the difference between a computer and a compucalc possibly be
No practice being a criminal? What about all your accessory to incest charges?
Oh shit the computers are sentient.
This is kidnapping.
I'd tell you, but you'd tell me to go to the swamp
He aided and abetted a clone fucker and is now kidnapping sentient machines.
oh no. We're reading David Cage
Poor lil guys, he wont even ask if they wanna come or not.
Compucalc is either a microprocessor or a serial stack of computers.
All I know is it's EXTREME computer one way or the other.
Mastivista
don't we all love when a novel starts with action, then flashes back to two weeks earlier when the hero was stealing a hundred antigravity rods with no tension or stakes
Holoshark and Modif-horse meet Compucalc
"Mastivisa. For when you chewed up your Visa."
"I'll do the talking. What it is, Compucalc."
"You look like cops."
He has one hot fist and one lukewarm fist
"beeep...neigh....beep"
also sentence fragment
Phil is very observant
If we start talking about future stuff and bank accounts and don't get any Rex Moran, this book is a failure
Sentence fragments are like little archaeology puzzles for now people.
And therefore good and cool.
Phil does have a way with fun phrases
Too bad they're not very coherent
Pukers can't see you if you don't move
People vomit so much in the future, they have gangs
you don't fuck with the Seanbaby gang
You know the look
Oooooh I've played this game before, he needs to use the rocket launcher and circle strafe because pukers are projectiles and not hitscan.
The nerves of steel you'd expect from a lab worker
a little jig
Also the Beretta was such a 70s gun.
If this were a movie, Phil would be played by the child of a Hollywood legend
very difficult to aim but also he did it flawlessly
Certainly am wondering that
My dude...........RAIL GUN was a possibility and you picked a nine mil Beretta?!
He's obviously wearing a red Hawaiian shirt this whole time
I couldn't give a shit why you have body bags
No, Phil. I was wondering why you were calmly getting them out after screaming when you fired your gun
Maybe instead of explaining that you could DEVELOP YOUR MAIN CHARACTER
Its for the failed fuck clones.
The ones that need a longer bake time.
There's also some buckets
Kraig still fucks them but he slops them into a bucket after.
pfff bake time 😆
That's more of a how than why
Phil is classy and uses a garbage bag.
I love bake time with my fuck clones
Why would you trade for body bags
"Traded for them on the black market" is nerd speak for "Bought a roll of Hefty's at the Piggly Wiggly"
I'm surprised it took this long to confirm Phil is a dangerous loner
I feel like you'd at least give them an actual personality.
Sounds boring
maybe you could kill that run on sentence phil
Running too fast.
His antique handgun cant draw a bead.
He might as well have a goddam musket.
I have an unfortunate overabundance of personality so dividing between two or three of us would work wonders
Seems perfectly normal
Phil went on to play John Doe in Se7en
I read "labbots" as "rabbots" and got briefly excited.
@Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage you just need to kill two men, stuff them in your van, and take a long nap
Sick burn
You'll sleep like a baby
At least he tried to say fat is normal
long Duncan plays with big head mode activated
Your personality never seems an overabundance but a gift, I meant you'd be nice enough to really flesh out the character of your clones (unlike this author).
Im imagining Phil looks like Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force now.
Thumbnail watch seems very impractical
I love this and will join you in this belief
All sci-fi writers are libertarians until proven otherwise.
Brutananadalewski
Time for nap #2?
Carl is such a G
All technology in this future is stupid, impractical and has a dumb name.
My dude, you can NOT store liquifying corpses in the same space as computers.
yeah. At least Iain banks is the good kind of libertarian
Its bad for your GPUs
Feeling depressed? Look for these symptoms:
-Lethargy
-Listlessness
-Having two rotting corpses in your van
Leave the corpses in the bathtub.
You know the look
Nothing like a good instawarm after dumping a couple of bodies
That meal? Reheated Chinese food. No fork.
No nothing.
Just them meat hooks.
Well that was easy, no one will ever find them there. At a place where people stop and rest.
Surely you could have come up with a better place to dump bodies than a rest stop.
what would you do if your baby brained fuckclone daughter sister could chop your head off with a laser
First order of RODS: van power
The dead bodies are gone. Aaaaanyway time for a snack
Fuck you asshole. You invent a miracle of science, then steal it and your first thought is to use it to power your van.
I mean hell yeah borther
Not "Shit I could improve peoples lives." or "Fuck yeah, world domination time." but "How can I get free van juice forever?"
Does the van even have something rad painted on it though?
okay one end attracts matter, one end repels it. So if you stick it in an enclosed space won't it, like, burst through one end of it?
Not with VAN POWER
His vans body is made of adamantiunobtainium.
Better not use the synthadiamond, better use the laser that randomly reflects everywhere
it has a mural of Kraig fucking Kraig2 on top of a holoshark
Kraig2 has a righteous set of dude boobs.
And his hair? Literal fire.
Fire made of burnhot
how many holes did he burn through himself?
With martian goats cheering the whole thing on.
Like this but with a sweet hog.
Right up that tight little orbit with some sililube
Barry 2099
well we know the rods aren't made with nysteel
Freshly lubed rods. Alllll riiiiiiiiiiight.
a villainous slutty redhead? Oh no, lyra won't be pleased
This guy has seen how I get down
I feel like Kraig2 is blameless in all this.
in the mind of a hack sci-fi writer there are two women: busty red-head and busty asian woman
Kraig2 is still getting the hang of shapes and object permanence.
The solution to mankind's travel problems is a perpetual motion van. checks out
oh please he kills Kraig and becomes the villain at the end of act 2 or I will eat any number of hats
Or! The hero. Cos he killed his obviously evil incest clone making dad.
Time to power the entire house via VAN ENERGY
Kraig is dead. Long live Kraig.
Vans are exempt from preconcieved hair notions.
"Yeah I can use this perpetual motion machine to power my makehot box and make sweet hobo meals on the lam."
Come on, that's reductionist. There is Asian [plotting villain dominatrix] and Asian [compliant, giggling love interest]
Fuckin' Linda
she's the labs HR lady, obviously
fuckin' Linda
You've got this shit figured OUT.
Man, every office has a Linda
eh at least it wasn't Susan or, god forbid, Lisa
hear me out, what if the busty plotting Asian dominatrix girlfriend also had red hair?
NOTHING SUSPICIOUS. ONLY GOING 250% MAXIMUM SPEED
"Yeah its real sad about Steve and Darryl and Garryl and Wayne. We have to stick to teh project tho so they didnt die horribly in vain."
As long as she doesn't turn into a panda, I'm cool.
they used a panda for the clone base
Man what a good van, it held together at 200 klicks.
she used to be one now she's a love interest
/convert 80km to mph
80kph: still slow
yeah it's like what, 50? 45 mph?
I wonder how he gets the van to stop with an engine he can't stop spinning
Going down to the Radio Dome to spend my centimes
Watch out for the hi-pees.
49.7, I'm great at everything
"Of course, I kept a few centimes for the truck stop hookers I like to lure into my van."
i want to know what a centimeme is
How has he had a van this long and not prioritized painting a dragon on it? Baffling.
after the nuclear holocaust mankind's first priority will be inventing clunky new terms for everything
1\100th of a dollhour.
You nerds will not let me skip these boring technical details
See: Duncan agrees with me
Is the radio dome near the love dome? That little old cyber place where we can get together?
This is uncomfortably close to what I'm doing in my actual job.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STICK THE ROD IN FOR FUCKS SAKE PHIL! GARRYL ISNT GONNA TEAR HIMSELF A NEW ONE LITERALLY!"
"Wait tear what now?"
"Too late, bye Garryl!"
The computers really want to smash though
"here's basically what me, and Jason, did: we"
JUST TELL US WHAT YOU'RE DOING ASSHOLE
When will they install those fear circuits
Aw hell yeah Pleasure Dome.
Is this author also an engineer?
Oh man, deep Rise of the Dragon cut
Best game you can lose via public nudity charges.
sometime before a long long time ago
Poor lil computers.
I imagine they have little pixel faces like the girl robot in WALL-E
You're a weird guy, Phil
The computers in this book are almost as abused as the ones in the Hardy Boys.
lookin all "^o^" and shit when you ask them to connect to the internet.
Sure it's the computers whispering to you, not your inner demons.
oh good thanks lyra, I was starting to worry I might have to take those meds after all
okay but flying van is legitimately bad ass, but my guy........you could have just gotten a pilots license and not spent years inventing Chitty Chitty Meth Bus.
The test flight goes poorly in a number of ways
This is basically the armor building montage from Iron Man, but with a van, and somehow lame.
SHE HAS A NAME IT'S EVE GOD
Eva I think
Not to mention you cant really fly so much as hover with intent without like.......CONTROL SURFACES AND SHIT THAT VANS DO NOT HAVE.
Eve is her robot name.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH?
Eva is the name fleshapes gave her
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
The world Military is always ready in case Mars Attacks
There goes half the ROD supply
Legit making myself happy thinking about WALL-E
Duncan, I know you know those aren't called coin phones
Phil is now living the Van Life
Hahahaha another dork ass science fiction writer decided flying van was more plausible than wireless phones.
Good to know about the dino teats
Get dunked on by THE FUTURE, PALEO-DORK!
HAH I KNEW THEY HAD SCALEY UDDERS!
Reptile tits confirmed!
Bopper design, my good man
Dinocow teats is what I would have written in a parody of all this nonsense
Satire is dead
Hahahaha we beat it to death with a shovel in 1958 as a suspected Communist infiltrator.
The Bush family still has Satire's skull.
all hail deconstruction
angry Javo intensifies
Glad you guys are taking the dinocow as a serious detail
yeah I'm sure he'll be swallowed by a dinocow at some point
Reptile milk, they bred them for the milk right? Why else woud you mention the udders specifically?
lyra I love you and I want you to talk more BUT
If a sassy teen rollerblading courier lands a magnetic clamp on his van and goes for a sky ride, I have a letter to write.
you have to understand that when you ask questions like that you risk someone answering them
And by someone I mean djonin
Also me.
[takes out first binder]
Turned all the grocery stores into Chuck E Cheeses
I didnt get this by keeping my mouth shut.
How many centimes to a cred
It's too much to ask that this turns into Five Night's at Freddy's, isn't it?
