Harfoots are literally described as "browner of skin" by Tolkien so I have no idea what you are talking about.

I think they underestimated how dramatic this community can be. Which is surprising considering the map size whining that happened.

Lovecraft is awesome if you want some short stories. Call of Cthulhu, Colour out of Space, and Rats in the Walls area my personal favorites.

Man I miss their VC stuff. I've liked their albums less and less with each release.

How are you hearing it? Nice speakers or a nice set of headphones? I'm guessing that's the difference.

Yeah I realize now that my comment was a tad more aggressive than it was meant to be. I think there's some value in Day's stuff. He gives some interesting perspective and analysis on Tolkien. You just need to remember to take nothing of his as fact.

Nothing David Day writes should be given any credibility. He made stuff up, like, all the time. Treat it as fan fiction.

What's hilarious is conservatives absolutely hate Strongtowns too, and pretty much all their policy goals are the opposite of the goal of ST. Even though Chuck Morohn is deeply conservative, he can't really face that truth.

 

Used on recordings by everyone from Phoebe Bridgers to The National and Taylor Swift, the rubber bridge generates short-sustaining, almost otherworldly voices from an otherwise regular guitar

Honestly, with the way Mexicos leadership/politics and economy is heading, it's positioned to be a decent power, and potentially be a more desirable location to live than the US sometime in the next century. Big fan of AMLO and hope he is setting them on a good trend. It's probably only a matter of time before the US intervenes and makes sure they don't go too far left though, so maybe I shouldn't get my hopes up.

This and Homage are his two best imo. His fiction is a little too on the nose and heavy handed.
