Weird way of phrasing that, but I agree. Unless you brought back a dormant mosquito idk what combination hit you.

Well, wikipedia says that the virus can lay dormant in the liver. Fascinating.

Just glad the bad feeling seems to be waning.

There's a stomach illness that's been going around my area of the US and it sounds quite similar. My wife had it as has most of her work, and my sister told us about it going around her area (She's a doctor about 150 miles away).

Had to get an emergency prescription for promethazine because my wife couldn't keep anything down at all for 5 hours. She was no longer ill after that, but felt awful for a couple days.

Yeah sounds similar. So strange to be super sick for just half a day or so

Casting of Triss bothers me a bit just because of how different she is to the games in looks and personality, which was my first exposure to the series. Nothing compared to the overblown madness of some people though.

I liked everyone else. Henry Cavill is #1.

In the books Triss was a rather minor character, dunno why anyone would expect her to have the spotlight

Oh I get this. I'd have no problem if she didn't have the spotlight, just wish she was a redhead. The series has given a nod to the game in other ways, why not Triss?

Somewhere, A. Sapkowski is very angrily opening a bottle of vodka, screaming into the night about how the games ruined his work and that his books were first

Apparently Cavill is a huge gamer and played The Witcher 3 quite a bit. It's the main reason he heavily pursued the role when he heard about it. He also almost missed out on superman because he refused to answer a call while in a WoW dungeon

Yes but it gives one or two nods to the games. For example, Henry bases his voice completely on Doug Cockle from the game. If anything his appearance looks more like game Geralt than the description from the books as well. Other characters seem to mesh the books and the games together.

On the other hand they approached Triss differently. If they wanted to minimise her role that's fine, it's how it was in the books, but they didn't even do that. They put her in for the Striga story when in the books she doesn't show up there at all, suggesting they tried to appease her fans...but then cast her completely differently.
