re: detective fiction recommendation request
@Lady by the way i began reading this today and i'm really liking it so far (a chapter and a bit in)
re: poképosting
@Lady my party is gonna be this (not done leveling them yet of course)
re: poképosting
@Lady i think i don’t feel like evolving a wailmer right now so i’ll leave it out.
re: poképosting
@Lady i have not. i’m thinking i’ll level up spheal into walrein and loudred into exploud (and teach the latter shadow ball, brick break, and one of the ice TMs) to round out type advantages on the elite four mons. or i guess i could go and find regiice…
poképosting
currently grinding and trying to decide if i wanna adjust my team any or teach them some new TMs for this. it occurred to me that i won't need my HM mons for the pokemon league, so i'm considering swapping in somebody else for Linoone or Tentacruel (Pelipper got replaced previously by Rayquaza natively knowing Fly + Tentacruel because Pelipper couldn't learn Dive).

my champions character is no longer a secret alien invader.
apparently the dang earth governments already knew about them being an alien.
technology poll
@Lady i once read that everything is flows and interruptions of flows so i voted pipes and fluids
re: incest; poll
@Lady i vaguely knew there was a coffee brand. i did not have any knowledge of how it might relate to the question (i didn't actually vote tho)

I have defeated all the gyms in Emerald and captured Rayquaza (just used master ball for this).
... I guess next (after a while break) a bunch of grinding and then I will face the Elite Four.
@pan i like the way pathfinder 2e did it.
There's an "archetype" collection of feats corresponding to each class, and you can take the first one ("Rogue Dedication" for example) in place of one of your class feats and it gives you some of the basic features of the class. And then later you can use your class feats to take other feats from the archetype to get other class features from that class or to get class feats from that class (at a later level than the class itself could get them).
context re: detective fiction recommendation request
a game i am gonna run suggests adapting the backstory of this sort of detective fiction as the basis of scenarios for it. i read a sara paretsky book that i really liked but i figure i’ll read some more stuff so i have a few ideas to pick from
detective fiction recommendation request
i hereby solicit recommendations of detective fiction. if you have any of that (authors or particular works) you like, i’d appreciate hearing them!
i am currently more looking for the sort of work where the question is more whether the protagonist will achieve any sort of good outcome rather than for the reader to compete with the detective at solving the mystery. like, not poirot/holmes style stuff. that said if you have stuff you really like of the latter sort i’d also be curious but would appreciate if you indicated that it was that kind of thing :)
Foongus Amoonguss!
@Lady good for him
can somebody explain to me how to distinguish between the different (sub?)genres of fiction that often have private investigators as protagonists
@wallhackio Stolen Season by S.J. Tucker
@wallhackio it's a brand new record for 1990, They Might be Giants' brand new album Flood

flannery sure complicates fighting her
@wallhackio in terms of quality or just effect
this complaint does unfortunately also generalize to questions of perhaps more weight than what distinguishes fanfiction from more conventionally respected "literature"
for example, analyzing the material base underlying the production and reception of "fanfiction" cannot begin and end with copyright law. like obviously at a very minimum you have to discuss fandom...
