Tales of Arise

Tales of Arise is the newest installment of the "Tales series" and is the story (I've had this tab open for weeks now) of the enslavement of one planet by another and the subsequent liberation of the former by the protagonist of the game.

Iam "Since he brought it up, Tales of Arise is an exercise in the exploration of the different types of tyranny. The first area you liberate is an 'overt tyranny' where the slaves are forced to labor under the rule of a brutal dictator. The second is a communist surveillance state where the citizenry is incentivized to act as informants to the state. The third is a seemingly meritocractic capitalist state but the lord of the land is aloof to the wellbeing of the public and has a toxic underling whose working behind the scenes to reinstate the oppressor class to it's previous state as rulers over the oppressed class. After you learn of the underling's plot it's revealed that the lord never really cared about equality or the oppressed class but, rather, was traumatized during the tournament to determine who would be the next lord when he was forced to kill his best friends. He just couldn't stand to hear their screams so he freed them to alleviate his guilt. The fourth is a technocratic autocracy where the denizens are forced to wear masks that strip them of their ability to think and speak. Great story. The 'Tales' series' world building and interpersonal character development is unparalleled and the title screen song is alway a bop."

A Tale of Two Vacuums

A lesser-known Dickens novel about da pair of infamous "Hoovers" in American-government history who notoriously ended up causing more harm than good during their reigns.

Between da indolent Herbert's causing da Great Depression during his presidency, and da recklessly-prejudiced and hatred-filled J. Edgar's founding da FBI which killed da likes of da Kennedy brothers and Martin Luther King, da true-story-based book, "A Tale of Two Vacuums" is a wild and sordid narrative indeed!

Time is a taddle-tale

Phrase:

Given enough time, the answer(s) will arise.

Time always tells.

Everything happens for a reason.

The universe tends to unfold as it should.

Do you think I'll be able to do that one day Dad? I'm certain that if you keep trying you will. Time is a taddle-tale son, it'll tell us when it chooses.

tail tales

Da assordid --- I mean, I mean, **assorted** --- stories of "getting lucky" dat two or more studs exchange around da card-table or at da bar-counter.

I detest listening to da miscellaneous "tail tales" of da various puffed-ego human stallions who gather at Duffy's Tavern... I mean, yeah, sure --- so maybe those hot chicks **did indeed** spread their legs for those virile crotch-cravers on those particular occasions, but what about any word of actual long-term friendships or relationships with said ladies??? Didn't those guys have any more respect or appreciation for these "willing" women beyond just their allowing said bush-hungry dudes to get in their pants??? I would rather take da time and effort to cause a gal to like and respect me as being a nice kind-hearted guy whom she'd actually **enjoy** lovingly cuddling up to and having sex wif, not just perform da simple ol' "wham, bam, thank you, Ma'am" routine wif her and then scuttle off again!

ferry tales

Da body of literary fiction recounting da adventures of Theodore Tugboat and his friends.

Many of da stories in Da Brothers Grimm's book were morbid and violent; I much prefer da modern-day ferry tales, where everyone generally makes an effort to get along and work together.
