fear more having to figure out what to do with their bodies after big oil gets the cops to murder some more of them, really

Halloween decor most based: "Released hundreds of snakes in yard at first sign of children, locked door, took nap"

Took dog out. There's... someone watching a sex scene/porn with the volume up loud enough I'm hearing it like a full block away. Three or four football fields distant. Good distance.

so fucking tired

From a quick check of the website and idle gander at thigh high sock prices elsewhere, I'm not sure affordable is quite the right word? Looks like the actual cheap ones (you can get online, there's probably even cheaper offline) go for under 5 USD; Sock Dream's prices start at 14 (12 pounds, checking that, for reference), so a good 4-5x more expensive than the most affordable stuff.

Which I guess isn't... completely insane, exactly? 15-20 bucks for a pair of socks is enough to give me sticker shock, personally, but it's objectively a meal or two at a restaurant or whatever, one non-discounted mid-line priced video game, etc. It's like a third or fourth the price of actual high-end online-available ones that go between like 45-70 USD.

But I'm definitely remembering lyrics from Thrift Shop looking at it, heh.

I wonder just how obscene you can get before your isekai story is just utterly unsalvageable.

I honestly don't think that point actually exists. Good enough writer can do something at least middlingly decent even from the most degenerate of starting prompts.

There's totes some slime ones where they don't drop the slime bit quickly, or even at all, though. Tensura's pretty famous for jumping the sharkslime ASAP, but there's like... well over a dozen slime MC stories out there these days, and some of them just stick to being a slime.

... dropping the gimmick pretty early happens a lot mostly due to a combination of it being easier to write humans, and it being an easy way to sidestep dysmorphia issues and whatnot. It's usually being kinda' lazy, basically, but hell, I ain't gon' blame someone for being a lazy writer if they're just doing it for fun, yeah? I get why folks do it, even though it's usually pretty disappointing, heh.

There's... apparently multiple types of curd (cheese, fruit, probably others i'unno i stopped caring pretty rapidly), so it's possible there's some confusion going on on that front. Probably, really, because from what I've seen usage of the terms involved are overlapping for separate things and not used consistently to boot.

Cheese curd specifically can apparently be subbed in for cream or cottage cheese, which yeah, can be used in baking sweet things.

... that picture looks more or less like cottage cheese, to me, which the idle checking suggests you want to sieve before use if you want it to taste particularly good in sweet things. It's possible that was the problem, I'unno.

Honestly know that feel. I remember reading the one where guy got turned into a tree and it was just 60 chapters of "tree gains new power but faces new foe who forces him to develop new power but suddenly an even bigger foe appears." Still ended up reading all of the chapters. It's like the LN equivalent of having 4,000 hours in a game and leaving a review "I hate this game"

Wait, which one? I'm aware of, like... three or four that roughly fits that description. Demonic tree's been popular over on royal road lately, but there's others in that ecosystem and I think at least another two or three in the LN one, too.
