“Between them is strung a double wire called an antenna, after the ancient Anglaic word 'antenna'." "But they’re the same word," said Glasken. "Fras Captain, manual says antenna is named after 'antenna,' so antenna is what I says.” (Souls In The Great Machine Greatwinter 1 by Sean McMullen) #PocketsReads

“You now resist the Call by yourself, my allure has nothing to do with it," Theresla continued. "How can you do it?" "Sheer spite," whispered Glasken. (Souls In The Great Machine, Greatwinter 1, by Sean McMullen) #PocketsReads

He can do the work of ten men—in fact when I did my noon inspection yesterday there were ten men sitting idle and only Orion working. (Souls In The Great Machine, Greatwinter 1, by Sean McMullen) #PocketsReads

I work so much as the extension of a machine that perhaps I have come to resemble one. (Souls In The Great Machine, Greatwinter 1, by Sean McMullen) #PocketsReads

Jefton signed an appointment for the new Minister of Finance only to be told a day later that Atholart, his appointment, was a prizewinning stud goat. The news that the appointment had been officially commended by the Council of Envoys did little to comfort Jefton. (Souls In The Great Machine, Greatwinter 1, by Sean McMullen) #PocketsReads

“‘When a candidate faints, suffers a heart attack, gives birth or is otherwise unable to complete a paper for any justifiable reason the mark may—at the discretion of the examining officer—be increased by a percentage of the mark obtained equal to the percentage of the time remaining.' That’s one hundred four percent in your case...” (Souls In The Great Machine, Greatwinter 1, by Sean McMullen) #PocketsReads

“I’ll give you ten gold to lick my tail,” Bigs said, turning around and waving her slug behind seductively. “Twelve, if you lick against the grain.” (Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman) #PocketsReads

This upgrade patch depicts a perfectly-perfect, mouthwatering human foot treading upon a patch of four-leaf clovers, creasing them as it presses down with gentle but oh-so-firm force. Despite their non-sentient nature, the clovers have a brief moment of awareness as they suffer, and it is fucking delicious. (Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman) #PocketsReads

“Casket in the Sky?” Donut asked, her voice incredulous. “That’s the name of the type of airplane it is,” Louis said. “There are a bunch of models you can buy or build. But that’s this one. There’s another one called a Dumbassmobile.” (Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman) #PocketsReads

New Achievement! Chickenshit Exploit! Have you ever played Dungeons and Dragons? You know that one guy who’s memorized all the guidelines? He’s constantly jumping on everybody because they’re doing something that breaks this obscure rule or that. He’s a purist. He takes everything so goddamned seriously, you wonder if he’s ever had fun even once in his miserable life. He’s indignant that you’re pushing back against him. The very suggestion that he’s ruining the fun is met with a blank stare. Well, that guy is not you. That guy hates you. If you were a product, he’d be giving you a nerd rage-induced one-star review right now. You took a very carefully built game system, and you broke the ever-loving shit out of it. You used that exploit to help kill a fellow crawler! Great job, cheater. (Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman) #PocketsReads

New Achievement! Uh oh. It talks. You’ve discovered a sapient weapon. Have you noticed there are very few well-known crawlers with sapient weapons out there, even though those weapons are usually quite powerful? I can only think of two crawlers in the top 50 who use them. Yeah. They’re great, though. Just... Good luck with that. Reward: You’ve received a pair of earplugs.

NSFW, erotica, snippet from DCC, no spoilers, contains redactions to ensure I'm not breaking any server rules (I actually went and checked what's il/legal in Germany) Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
New Achievement! Unbirthing! If you still had access to Google, I would warn you not to look that one up. But that’s okay. You experienced it first-hand yourself. [redacted] It was extra tingly while you were in there, [redacted]. And then you slipped, you slided back out into the fiery, cruel world. And you glistened. Oh, oh god. You glistened. Oh, yes. The AI groaned. I really liked that. You are in fucking trouble. Reward: You’ve received a Legendary Spicy Box. (Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman) #PocketsReads

“This is a potion I just made, and I want you to take it.” “What is it?” She sniffed at it suspiciously. “It used to be called Charisma Cheat, but for some reason the system now calls it MySpace Photo. It’s going to trick the system into thinking your Charisma is 30 points higher than it really is.” (Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman) #PocketsReads

This is a non-combatant NPC. This is a human. This one is something called a Canadian. Part French. Part maple syrup. He’s weirdly obsessed with ice hockey and snowmobiles and semi-erotic lumberjack fan fiction. Has a well-worn Tim Hortons loyalty card in his Velcro wallet. He says “aboot” instead of “about” and gets really, really upset when you point it out, claiming you’re hearing things and that it’s a harmful stereotype. It’s not a stereotype, and that’s exactly how it sounds. He has a relative who was trampled to death by a moose. (Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman) #PocketsReads
