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

[-] Bluewing@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

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

[-] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 2 days ago

Or you do the one liner after the shot.

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.

[-] Unbecredible@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

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

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 6 points 2 days 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.

[-] Gloomy@mander.xyz 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Best series i have read, ever. Read it.

[-] halvar@lemy.lol 59 points 3 days ago

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@feddit.nl 10 points 2 days ago

Why do you call yourself evil?

Aren't you just misunderstood?

[-] halvar@lemy.lol 13 points 2 days ago

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

[-] answersplease77@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

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

[-] halvar@lemy.lol 4 points 2 days ago

He impersonated me on the internet

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago

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

[-] halvar@lemy.lol 2 points 2 days ago

off to the desert you go

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 2 days ago

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

Third time's the char-

🏜️

[-] 4cher0n@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago

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

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 72 points 3 days ago

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

[-] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 19 points 3 days ago

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

[-] MrFappy@lemmy.world 34 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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…

Of all the books I've read, I cannot answer this question for The Gunslinger. If you like Stephen King you'll almost certainly like the novels. But each one is very different from the others. LOL, I'm not sure there's a fan who loves every book.

Yes, probably what this is about, but I’ve always found explaining the joke makes it funnier.

[-] trk@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago

Jokes that need explaining are famously the funniest type

[-] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago

You could make the simplest of jokes and someone still wouldn't get it. Lemmy is excellent at not getting jokes

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 38 points 3 days ago

And that is why you don't state your evil intentions, you just do it

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 4 points 2 days ago
[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 4 points 2 days ago

And Gwyneth Paltrow

[-] Mika@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

But it works in anime 🙄

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago

The Tuco doctrine.

Anon plays Banished, a medieval city builder

[-] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 18 points 3 days ago

Can't find another game quite like it tbh

[-] Clearwater@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Banished is fun. Rimworld is fun and addictive as crack.

This comment makes me miss TotalBiscuit :(

His banished review is my only exposure to the game

[-] javiwhite@feddit.uk 5 points 2 days ago

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

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

[-] tedd_deireadh@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago

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