PC Load Letter? What does that even mean?

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

I expect I'll remain dead unless the eldritch energies unlocked by the collision results in my resurrection.

If I do return to life, I suppose I might be very angry at someone or something, and that I will make him/her/it/them regret what he/she/it/they did, in the finest tradition of cinematic heroes who return from apparent death or exile.

Once I've completed my mission of vengeance, perhaps I'll ride a vehicle or appropriate local domesticated animal towards a local star disappearing over the horizon of whatever planet I'm on, perhaps even with an appropriate romantic partner.

If all of this comes to pass, I would fully expect to be forced to return to resolve increasingly unexpected conflicts ad nauseum.

As I go, I'll likely start to repeatedly indicate that I'm getting far too old for this nonsense, but I'll continue to reluctantly proceed in my conflict resolution every time. Perhaps I'll be able to pass on the fight for justice to another, younger person eventually.

Like I said before, though, I'll likely just stay dead.

Adam Something is a favorite of mine.

It's not the herp, it's the derp.

Life in the Crimson Corporation is typical: there are good times, when benefit packages and bonuses improve and bad times, when the corporation has to lay off some employees. Only, if one is out of job, one is out of luck. Since everything on Druuge worlds is Corporation property, every ex-employee is instantly trespassing and guilty of stealing corporation property, like air and sunlight. The only suitable punishment in Druuge laws for that is to feed the Furnace. Retired ex-employees are, however, allowed to breathe Corporation air (albeit at decreased rates).

Aren't those guys kinda anti-federalist, except where it benefits them?

I, also, am hip and with it. Witness my funky fresh lingo and in-your-face attitude, home skillet.

So that explains the apparent undead working for them...I only read the first book or three and it's been a minute. This is the sign for me to go back and finish the series.

God help the poor mathematical geniuses who accidentally discover that math. If they're lucky, they end up working for the Laundry.

 

I'm getting a lot of parts in languages I can't read. Can I filter for just my native language?
