Has anyone read Will Leave the Galaxy for Good, and is it any good? I really liked the first two, but I can imagine that the background levels of Current Year in the writing have only risen.

I didn't like the second one as much it felt too sequelly, the first one can be read as a self contained story more
I did like the evil alien dude though he was the highlight

Man, Yahtzee would certainly have some egg on his face if he was repeatedly on record trashing samey sequels through the medium of incredibly contrived dirty analogies. It is a good thing that this thing has not happened in the reality we inhabit. As for the evil alien, yeah, he's the sort of thing only a British author could come up with. I thought the highlight of the book was the truck stop cargo cult personally.

I bit the bullet and spent an Audible credit on the last book, if only because I wanted to find out who the real Jacques McKeown turns out to be. I shall write up a review for this thread when I'm done listening to it (at 1.25x speed, natch, to get the true "long form ZP" experience). I'm six chapters in so far with no sign of an increased level of niggerfaggotry (it's decreased if anything), which is a good sign. Incidentally, the thought occurred to me that the reason almost all the characters in these books are White is that Yahtz knows that he has to do the audiobooks himself and would be crucified if he gave a black character the slightest trace of an accent.

I don't recall there being any niggerfaggotry in the book at all so you should probably be safe. Overall I thought the quality was pretty similar to the first two. There were a few bits that didn't quite work (or make sense) but anyone who liked the first two will probably enjoy it.

Yahtzee doesn't seem to keep up with the times as there is a FEDERAL abortion ban already but the states can decide if they implement one or not. And his state should allow abortion right? Should he ever go back to England he will be in for a shock

I'm given to understand that the UK abortion law has a loophole so wide you can drive a Truck of Peace through it. In theory an abortion can only performed if it's necessary for the health of the mother, but this includes mental health and doesn't actually define "necessary". Basically all abortions in Bongistan are rubber stamped through this loophole.

Apparently Yahtzee plans on leaving America and going back to England if an abortion ban happens. If Abortion is what's holding you to America then just go back to England then lol

At around 46:30

I'm surprised this got brought up instead of what he said last week.

Endorsed the Dems at 24:29


Endorsed Kamala because she's a woman and he doesn't like Trump at 40:46 and 1:23:33

This. From what I understand he hasn't lived in the UK since 2000. It's simply not the same country he left.

He's clearly a Blairite who wants "decent, sensible" politicians. The managerial kind who do nothing and make little noise, so it's no wonder that the optics of a female president matter over substance. Wonder what he thinks of the current Tory leader.

I predicted the Patreon would suffer this month with the 1 year donors ending. It's gone slower than I expected, but Nick has noted the decline:


"Get that Patreon of ours going in the right direction and we can talk about it lol." (referring to poaching the Firearms Expert React guy, whose editor got fired by Gamespot).

I want Yahtzee to go back where he came from simply because there is a higher chance of him getting stabbed or arrested for wrongthink there.
Of course he won't do that, it would require some effort and this faggot clearly doesn't have it in him to commit to anything that would exert any at this point.

Isn't that the norm? Either too dumb to actually look into what he talks, or do pointless "threats" on things that won't happen anyways.

He seems to still hold unto hope that UK will undo brexit and go back into EU. That's the only reasonable way I can see him moving back to England, otherwise, Canada is an objectively better option.

But then again, he still lives in California and that may still be as good as it can get for him, even under Trump.

It's either that or something is gonna come out that he's a sexual predator. Male feminists tend to fall into those two categories.

I've speculated before without proof that his kids are not his and from the wife's previous relationship but now I've come to believe that this is the most likely scenario.

I am pretty sure they are, since he started talking about them after moving to the US to shack up with her, and way too quickly for him to have knocked her up.
