This is why you just shoot the fucker and don’t try and do a one liner.
To quote the great philosopher Tuco, “When you got to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.”
Or you do the one liner after the shot.
Which is what Tuco did.
Tight! Tight!
That’s what Betty did.
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.
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.
Sounds like the Dying earth series / cugels saga - fantastic if you like weird dark fantasy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cugel’s_Saga

Borrowed your plot
Ah, the o’l “send them to the desert” bit. Works every time.
Third time’s the char-
🏜️
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
fake: excuse me I’m schmevil at worst and oh you’re describing yourself
gay: okay got us there
And that is why you don’t state your evil intentions, you just do it
But it works in anime 🙄

Anon plays Banished, a medieval city builder
Ahh banished, The local cleric being replaced by a villager called ‘Demon’ remains one of my only steam screenshots.
I would love to see that screenshot if you are willing to share it
Sure thing. Here you are :)
Thank you <3
Never met anyone in the wild who plays banished o_O its my partners favorite game lmao
This comment makes me miss TotalBiscuit :(
His banished review is my only exposure to the game
Can’t find another game quite like it tbh
Timberborn is pretty fun and plays quite similarly.
Banished is fun. Rimworld is fun and addictive as crack.
BRB gonna replay
They’re very much not the same, but have you tried Rimworld or SAELIG?
I have played rimworld before, fair point. Haven’t heard of SAELIG but I’ll check it out!
I have played Manor Lords and Foundation. They are at least heavily inspired by Banished
This sounds like a Dark Tower reference. Thankee, sai.
Diddachick?
Get rekt
Doesn’t something similar to this happen in one of Jack Vance’s stories?
Thank you! I was going to write this if nobody else did, but it predates Stephen King by 30 years, was way more hilarious, and only took 2 books instead of 7 (or half a book if you read the Dying Earth Omnibus)
Yep, in The Eyes of the Overworld, we meet Cugel the Clever, literally the prototypical D&D rogue/thief. He steals from a wizard and is banished very far away for it. He eventually gets back to take revenge on the wizard and steps on a trap or something that banishes him even farther away the second time. His journey picks back up in Cugel’s Saga, a sequel novel, where he goes on more zany adventures and eventually makes it back again as I recall.
Also worth noting, the first time he’s flown across the world and dropped on a deserted beach, he heads in one direction, has a ton of adventures, and gets back. The second time he’s left on the same beach he shrugs his shoulders and heads off in the other direction.
Man, I love Jack Vance.
The first time, he gets banished by the wizard by a spell that summons a giant bird to pick him up and take him across the continent. The second time, he takes down the wizard and tries to cast the same spell that banished him, but fucks it up and the bird just grabs him again.
