Fucking Changes tho I've only ever thrown two books across the room (the other being Storm of Swords) but with Changes it was multiple times. I was actually shaking with emotion after my first read. Yeah Ghost Story is pretty different from any of the other ones. I quite like it, but I like every book in that series lol. | ||

But then he made it look like Arya was going to be kill and I was so fucking mad that I stopped reading for a day. Then I jumped forward and saw she had another chapter LOL But then after AFFC and ADwD I just can't find myself caring about the series that intensely anymore. Holy fuck those were just not good books. | ||

The Big E is like the biggest annual fair in New England. This year is the 100th anniversary I think. I was never a fan of it growing up, but now I live 1 street away from it. Traffic is gonna be awful. | ||

MTG people, I need you to tell me I'm dumb o/ Well, not only that, preferably why too. Here's the EDH deck I'm building and obviously there are cuts to make, I'm not exactly sure where though, and any suggestion would be appreciated (and no, I'm not putting stuff like fetches or Urborg; Atreos and Exquisite Blood are the only expensive cards that I didn't own already). Obviously Karlov and possibly Kambal could be better commanders (or the other Teysa if I had it), can switch around though. This Teysa or Cliffhaven Vampire are probably creatures I can remove in priority, and Sorin is generically decent but I'm sure there are better cards (be it for removal or draw). Easy cheap additions (had I owned them) would be the first Teysa (ridiculous synergy with Abbey and Westvale Cult Leader too) and Sidisi, for a second tutor on a stick. I feel like this deck lacks card draw and repeatable removal (esp. for a BW one; Karlov and Ayli could be somewhat reliable though). | ||

Holy fuck those were just not good books. Yeah, the 4th and 5th books were kinda meh. I liked the latter part of the 5th book though, some of the shit was REALLY hype, so I'm hopeful for 6th book (who am I kidding, he gonna die before he finishes it). The things slightly putting me off are actually the things that appeared in the TV series though: + Show Spoiler + I don't care what you say, HOLD THE DOOR is F U C K I N G RETARDED. Please no time travel for fuck's sake. CotF creating Others as man-killing weapon is fking dumb and immediately demystifies them and makes them uninteresting. They are interesting in the books because we don't know much about them, but we know they are capable of co-existing with the humans, IIRC they even made a pact after the war for the dawn, and they are chill if you worship them and give them little boys (kinda like catholic priests in a way). Making them human-killing magical weapons just removes any agency from them, which they do seem to possess in the books. Arya going full ham revenge mode is meh at best. Then again, Essos is where plotlines come to die, with Tyrion being exhibit A. Also, did anyone else wince when the northerners proclaimed Jon Snow as the new King in the North? going full northerner once, ok. But NEVER, please NEVER go full fucking northerner twice in your lifetime. Did they learn nothing? Just a random thought, would anyone be interested in a reading stream tonight? Haven't done any reading streams in a long time. Not sure what to read though, don't know if there are any super meme-worthy books. Maybe the Bible? Any other ideas? The God-Shaped Brain was the best book so far, wouldn't mind something in a similar vein. | ||

Acting was good, things happened (unlike the previous season where nobody did anything of note), etc. But D&D are not nearly as good at reveals as GRRM, I'm sure a few of those moments would have had more of an impact if they were written better. Instead I feel like they just took all the big twists that George told them about and slapped them in haphazardly. Biggest one for me is + Show Spoiler + they fucking ruined Dorne. Doran Martell is fucking awesome in the books, and even the Sand Snakes were more interesting. But they just botched that shit to the ground. | ||

It's just the same joke that's been told for the past decade and a half. ^ I said it got a chuckle out of me, but meh *shrug* it's an uninspired jab thrown in at any mention of a priest And yes, Teut, you two definitely do like to push the bounds of offensiveness. That's totally ok, and I appreciate the humor at times. But don't pretend that you're offended cuz we think you like to offend people. Call it Euro-humor or continue to feel that Americans are overly sensitive. You find the reaction entertaining. We just don't care. | ||
