Sounds like the Dying earth series / cugels saga - fantastic if you like weird dark fantasy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cugel's_Saga

The thing about Stephen King is he doesn't usually plan his stories. He just writes and goes where it takes him. Hence, they sometimes go to funny places.

FUCK, was this a Dark Tower spoiler??? I keep meaning to read past the first book.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago

Dont read past the first book. Preserve whatever mystery and intrigue you have.

Beyond lies mary sue madness involving star wars, spiderman and harry potter. Wish I was joking.

Best series i have read, ever. Read it.

This is why you just shoot the fucker and don't try and do a one liner.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago

To quote the great philosopher Tuco, "When you got to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Or you do the one liner after the shot.

Ah, the o'l "send them to the desert" bit. Works every time.

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 59 points 1 day ago (2 children)

fake: no it isn't, i'm the evil wizard and this has definitely happened, i'm just not sure which one of the 17 guys that regularly show up this is

gay: I'm quite certain they all have feelings for me

[–] Honytawk 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Why do you call yourself evil?

Aren't you just misunderstood?

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Kids these days don't understand the joy of being the evil wizard and knowing it.

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

what did this guy do to get banished to the desert the first time?

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He impersonated me on the internet

*grabs a pair of basketballs and holds them over crotch*
"Ooh looketmeee I'm haalvaaar...!"

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 2 points 1 day ago

off to the desert you go

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Everyone else just misunderstands that evil isn't bad, it's just "live" spelled backwards.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

I always knew life was evil. That's why youvshould be an eilfilist

fake: excuse me I'm schmevil at worst and oh you're describing yourself

gay: okay got us there

This is pretty much the synopsis of The Gunslinger by Steven King.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 19 points 2 days ago (13 children)

The book series is very long iirc. Is it worth reading?

[–] MrFappy@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Extremely worth reading. Especially if you’re a fan of his other works since he weaves aspects of them into this series. But be aware, book 4 is the best of the series, and 5 is the worst (the climax is built up for the whole book and lasts about 2 pages.)

Edit: Also, regardless of anything you have heard or see online, the never made a movie of the series. They did release a bag of shit that they filmed, but no actual movie has ever made it to theaters…

Anon plays Banished, a medieval city builder

[–] enbipanic@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

This comment makes me miss TotalBiscuit :(

His banished review is my only exposure to the game

[–] javiwhite@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Ahh banished, The local cleric being replaced by a villager called 'Demon' remains one of my only steam screenshots.

Can't find another game quite like it tbh

Timberborn is pretty fun and plays quite similarly.

This sounds like a Dark Tower reference. Thankee, sai.
