Years ago (2017 or prior) I saw a post (I gotta assume Twitter) that consisted of someone writing English as if it was Korean. Not using Hangul to write English words, but arranging Latin alphabet letters in blocks following rules similar to Hangul. Anyone have ANY clue about it?
English words using the Latin alphabet arranged in blocks so it looks vaguely like Korean Hangul: "Hello there this is from memory"

@unreal-garden.com I don't know if it's an issue with bsky.app or what, but all your previews lately are showing up as 405 Not Allowed. Clicking on the link opens them up fine. This seems to have changed about 4 days ago?

Hard not to feel some great dishonesty at play here. When I'm logged into my work account or incognito, I get one set of ratings for the Battle.net app (2.3 stars too many in my opinion) while in my home account, it shows me much higher ratings (3.7 stars), WHILE CLAIMING THE SAME REVIEWS (139k)

The few times when it is connected, my account is signed out or logged out...I don't want to have to log in every time I use the app! and then the other pages/tabs either take forever to load or don't load at all, with the exception of the store/shop tab... which seems to always work...

Color of Magic (and the Light Fantastic) are quite different from the rest. Wyrd Sisters would have been closer to regular Discworld time.

There's a reading order guide posted on Wikipedia. I'm a fan of starting with Guards! Guards! or Mort mostly because Reaper Man is the favorite of the bunch.
The Discworld reading order guide 3.0. all of the Discworld novels listed with suggested starting points in a graph.

Join the dogpile commenting on how garbage articles like this are, therefore increasing their post's engagement? Or better to just ignore?
