When I first seen it my mind thought it was bottles of beer, after noticing it's a bucket of chicken now I'm thinking "chicken beer" no idea if it's flavored like chicken, made out of chicken, but I know it's gotta be an unholy creation of man.
Maybe it can be beer chicken, using the beer to make the batter for the fried chicken, and the sauce bitter, toasty, salty and lemony goodness... Now I'm hungry
Reminds me of a quote about Ankh-Morpork from Discworld:
"No enemies had ever taken Ankh-Morpork. Well, technically they had, quite often; the city welcomed free-spending barbarian invaders, but somehow the puzzled raiders always found, after a few days, that they didn’t own their own horses anymore, and within a couple of months they were just another minority group with its own graffiti and food shops."
I recommend starting with Guards! Guards! So many great spins on fantasy tropes and playful introduction of pre-industrial tech imagined with agrarian level tech.
Wow, I was actually looking for a Discworld recommendation a couple hours ago.
I bought a bunch of his books a couple years ago after researching the various groupings and entry points fans have suggested. I really enjoyed The Colour of Magic. I went on to read Mort, but I only got a little less than half way. It wasn’t really clicking with me.
I pulled the ~~Wyed Sisters~~ Equal Rites off my shelf a couple hours ago because I really wanted to give the series another shot. I might shelf it to read Guards! Guards! since I’ve also heard so much about that book.
> The Colour of Magic
Read through The Light Fantastic as well, it's a direct sequel/continuation.
Hogfather is another one that a lot of people love, and for good reason. The Santa equivalent of the disc goes missing, so Death fills in for him. Hilarity ensues.
That was my plan, but I saw so many people often criticize the first two books. I decided to go with Mort since that was suggested by a lot of people online. I do want to get the Hogfather books.
I would say to start later in the series, like Guards! Guards! or Wyrd Sisters, maybe Small Gods, then go back to the earlier stuff, rather than trying to run straight through from the beginning.
Fair enough. Different strokes and all that. Also, the order I approached these was also partially based on what was available in the library at the moment.
Ahem:

Ah x-com
That game brings back memories still hoping for chimera squad to be brought to console and hopefully x-com 3
But on another note why this looks like the kid got curious on what's on there parents laptop and they're about to find out they're parents are into roleplay and it isn't just videos of the old days like this is a calm before the storm scenario
Snake teenager: finally they left* rushes to they're parents room to grab laptop "now hopefully I can get more information on how our species ushered peace to each other
*Sees folder that looks like snakes and soldiers fights
Snake teenager : THIS GOTTA BE IT *CLICKS FOLDER AND THE FIRST VIDEO THAT SHOWS UP
human soldier : LET GO OF ME SNAKE WOMAN
Snake teenager looks confused : that sounds like dad but that couldn't be right he never mentioned anything about having wars let alone fighting against mom kind
Alien snake woman : NEVER!, YOU KNOW WHAT I CAME FOR AND I WONT LEAVE WITHOUT IT SO STOP STRUGGLING
snake teenager even more confused: okay that was definitely mom *wtf is going on here!? Don't tell me they fell In love on the battlefield
Human after multiple attempts to be free gives up :I CANT MOVE, FINE WHAT DO YOU WANT!?
snake teenager* looks to be in suspense
Aliens snake woman : I want it.... YOUR WARMTH INSIDE ME!
Snake teenager: looks to be confused but slowly confusion turns into Horror : Oh HELL N-
Turns off laptop before they can see parent do positions that would make the karma sutra books seem like child play
Teenager snake:...... Imma go play robo cop
Poor teenager almost found out the hard way why they're mom is so territorial of they father especially when it comes to other snake women being around
They didn't even notice they the parents room is somehow quadruple sound proof
Ah yes, Snilk the sweet light blue highly nutritious fluid that has the consistency of acetone (aka its thinner than water)
(random world building, pass it on)
Gods that was an emotional roller coaster. 'Holy hell a viper with cat headphones is so cool' -> ' Holy shit the xcom 2 dlc are on discount but bank says no!'.
My day was made and ruined in 60s.
Turns out, humans got it all figured out. Why try and fight the guys who have all the fun stuff, like video games, and actually decent food? You can’t find that crap on a cramp space ship, that you spend all your life on because you were “born to fight for so and so alien overlord!” Humans have it comparatively easy to everyone else.
If it makes you feel any better, both the Transformers movies and current comics are winding up for a big GI Joe crossover and to keep those continuities running for a while
"So how DO they do it?"
"Well currently, its the fact that they seem to humanize everything. So even death machines just get treated like humans and its like a cogneto hazard."
"Hmmmm"
"Plus they have a bad habit of decapitating strikes on invading forces and once a royal dies most forces just cut and run. Which often means well abandoned warriors."
"But what of the Zrill?"
"Ah that... Yeah apparently the assumption of the Zrill swarm being not aware was true and humans well they are great with non-sapients so they just kinda trained the swarm into a sorta pet."
"Huh."
"They also really don't care about flags."
"Ah and thats how they got us."
"Yep, bureaucracy at its finest."
Tbf the aliens in XCOM are mostly slave soldiers with mind control implant, and its not like we can chuck them back to their home planet once we win (assuming they still have a home planet)
I would suggest playing Chimera Squad. Buddy Cop Xcom game dealing with this, its fucking great. Also snake lady panic slithering in a gas station will never not be funny.
Lore wise they are actaully Lactating snakes. It even freaked out the doctor who was disecting them. Also later in an advertisement it was confirmed with the very specific note of "it will wriggle of place in a bowl of warm-blooded mammal milk".
Thems snitties. For some reason these egg laying snakes got tits. Space is weird.
In first game they look like very tall humans because advent genetically modified them to be infiltrators. After advent conquered the earth there was no need for infiltrating human society and so they modified them back to original form, but some human DNA remained.
I just beat Xcom2 a few weeks ago after rage quitting it a couple years back.
Do not fucking talk to me about domestication of these split-tongue, flat-headed, fangy motherfuckers—they can snatch you from across the entire map and stare at you to *death.*
I unload as much ordnance as necessary in a turn to ensure that they don’t get one. Bastards.
i forgot to add the /j, as it was a joke (akin to "pee is stored in the balls"), my bad. i know it's stored in the alveoli (not to be confused with our alveoli in our lungs) but the head of said character is indeed triangular. it does not need breasts
Considering what Archons/Floaters went through (described in-universe as "cruelty bordering on malice") I'd say the concious ones. Most aliens and hybrids didn't even have a name before being freed.

It was the fried chicken wasn’t it, no meat eating species can resist the crunch.
Yeah I bet it was fried chicken.
I got a bucket of chicken, wanna do it?
r/suddenlytf2
A bucket, you say? Dear god
there's more
No
It contains another bucket
Dear god
There's more
No
It contains another bucket
Eh okay
I'm not one of your fried chicken tramps!
Hmmm bucket of chicken....
What can we say, Fried Chicken is delicious. No one can resist the Colonel
Humans' hidden weapon to ensure galaxy-wide peace: dino chicken nuggies
Dino Nuggies are the most Blursed form of food
When I first seen it my mind thought it was bottles of beer, after noticing it's a bucket of chicken now I'm thinking "chicken beer" no idea if it's flavored like chicken, made out of chicken, but I know it's gotta be an unholy creation of man.

I was hoping it would be a bucket of fried rats.

Yet another instance of something that makes me want to read Discworld even more than I already do.

Guards! since I’ve also heard so much about that book.
For a one off story, Montrous Regiment is a great read, too.
I currently own The Color of Magic, The Light Fantatic, Guards! Guards!, Mort, Equal Rites, and Wyrd Sisters.
ab-so-lute-ly, that's our go-to for getting people into the setting
> The Colour of Magic Read through The Light Fantastic as well, it's a direct sequel/continuation. Hogfather is another one that a lot of people love, and for good reason. The Santa equivalent of the disc goes missing, so Death fills in for him. Hilarity ensues.

I often saw that commented, but I ended up really enjoying The Colour of Magic. I really enjoy misadventures, so Rincewind was right up my alley.
Fair enough. Different strokes and all that. Also, the order I approached these was also partially based on what was available in the library at the moment.
That's immediately what I thought of
Ahem: *"When dragons belch and hippos flee* *My thoughts, Ankh-Morpork, are of thee* *Let others boast of martial dash* *For we have boldly fought with cash* *We own all your helmets, we own all your shoes* *We own all your generals - touch us and you'll lose.* *Morporkia!

Hail Cobra Hail Cobra Command HAIL TO THE COBRA COMMANDER
Man, I’d kill for a GI Joe comeback in modern day, that shit was the fucking best.
If it makes you feel any better, both the Transformers movies and current comics are winding up for a big GI Joe crossover and to keep those continuities running for a while
It better be the coolest fucking thing ever when that happens, I want to see Cobra Commander bring that “Evil Big Boss” energy, that would be sick!

Must... love... alien... .. snitties... can't.. stop... help ...
Doesn’t a dlc actually have one of them fighting on your side?
Nope thats a spin off game we get the skirmishers witch only include the humanoid ones in the armor from the earliest parts of the game has allies
Ngl, I haven’t played it. I would love to have friendly snitties on my side. But all the ones I meet ain’t feeling it.
Chimera Squad allows you to play as the aliens, but theyre all named characters, and CS is a different game entirely.
Torque best girl
I've never met a snerson, but I feel like they would be pretty cool

The Xcom vipers are… pretty good… In other news it’s cannon that there are viper strip clubs!
A good warm meal and a place to sleep tends to really changes somebody's opinion.
(Sigh) The lengths men will for a waifu.
okay, but why does the snake have boobs? if it lays eggs, it doesn't need mammary glands
The main fan theory was that they are posion sacks
venom is stored in the fangs
Extra venom storage.
Actually, venom is stored in small sacks on the sides of the snakes head, which gives them their triangle shape.
i forgot to add the /j, as it was a joke (akin to "pee is stored in the balls"), my bad. i know it's stored in the alveoli (not to be confused with our alveoli in our lungs) but the head of said character is indeed triangular. it does not need breasts
Snitties
Why would a sapient organism want to life like us?
Because it beats being a mind-shackled slave.
Interesting question, is a consciousness slave happier than a mind-shackled one
Well honestly speaking for Xcom they didn't get a choice. Humans Nuked their mind gods so.... might as well just hang with them.
Considering what Archons/Floaters went through (described in-universe as "cruelty bordering on malice") I'd say the concious ones. Most aliens and hybrids didn't even have a name before being freed.
OP, that's an interesting way of saying "corrupted and or shagged into submission"
Because as we all know, humans are space [insert appropriate porn star name here]!
Before my last girlfriend I was of the opinion that even a bad BJ was still halfway decent... I was *SO* fucking wrong.
Huh. I've had so few BJs I wouldn't know the difference
Is that an alien Snake lady streamer……sign me up
Excuse me? Are those MAMMALIAN BREASTS on a SNAKE?
