This has been GRRM's writing style possible since the beginning of his career. I read an article about it some time ago but writers tend to fall into one in or the other of a major spectrum. I am paraphrasing as I forget the actual words they used but there is the [some word] where the writer...

It was always gender neutral. That isn't some new development. Making the story into, "The Prince or Princess that was Promised" is HBO faggotry.

That is kind of dumb... lol.

The genderless word thing has been in since the beginning. It just gets slightly cringey because all Missandei has to say is, "yo Dany that word has no gender in Valyrian." The end.

I was under the impression that he was actually asking about marrying Sansa. That is what he was trying to talk about. Littlefinger is a supreme master of politics and intrigue in a time where intrigue is becoming less and less useful as theovert existential threat doesn't really let you do...

Snell's constant country metaphor stories make me laugh. It's like the only language he speaks.

Where/when is this?

So update on my multi-department application upgrade. Its still running on a box on my desk but after arguing with 2 managers and 3 directors they finally gave me some dev infrastructure. I have to find a way to cheat into production use without actually being a, "live" application. This is so...

I've had the same small rice cooker I got for under $20 seven years ago. Like others I use it for quinoa and rice all the time. That being said, about 10 years ago in CA I got acquainted with high quality rice. Like this stuff. Once I started eating it I seriously have a hard time eating...

California has a rather unique Property Tax system. If, for example, you moved to San Diego in the 1980's (or earlier) and bought that same 1500 sqft house for $250k or some shit. Your property tax is only ever calculated off of the purchase price that you paid for it. Forever. As opposed to...

I'm only on episode four but this is a really good series. All of the characters are good and Ruthie has even sparked my interest in svelte white trash girls with hillbilly accents. Obligatory weirdest_boner.gif.

Those Klingons look really weird. Why are they all black also?

Not sure what to make of that. Seems the robit revolution is staged like was presumed?

Long live the Gimp.

Man. Stupid life responsibilities! Keeping me away from such glory.

So I watched the first episode. Holy shit. That's a way to start a series IMO!

Yes.

I got it on prime day because it was 40% off. This was it's maiden voyage.

That was like a shittier, less funny version of the infomercials from Starship Troopers. Or an ad for some Xbox live campaign... That sucked.

No. You're misunderstanding the scope. Book Iron Bank is THE Bank for all of Free Cities and they all fear it. Braavos is the most powerful of the Free Cities and if Volantis or something doesn't pay up. The Iron Bank funds rebellions and undermines them to get someone in power to get their...

Debatable. Lots of dead people from multiple wars about now.

Not sure if the show mentioned but the reason they're funding Stannis is because Cersei stopped paying them. The Iron Bank called all of its debts in Westeros and refused to lend any money to anyone. The economy is extra fucked because of it.

That would be a good Alan Moore comic to bring to the screen! haha

Almost guaranteed to be. He even likes those pickled eggs and shit.

The Iron Bank is in the boat with Gendry still. Even though the Iron Bank itself funded Stannis because of Cersei's bullshit in the show. Who knows if they'll come up again at all.

Pressure cooker BBQ ribs were awesome. Good way to cheat out ribs in 45 minutes with 20 minutes in the cooker and 15 in the over at 450 with bbq sauce.

I got to 10 wins this morning with a pretty nice Shaman deck. Lost to some mage/rogue fucking bullshit though. I about threw broke my keyboard when the faggot rogue got a lightning storm from hallucinate and won because of it.

For me it is not believable that the Lannisters can contest the Reach. Like has been said. The Lannister forces have been put through the shit for the entire series. They just lost the Freys entirely and the Crownlands forces are not different from the Lannisters in the show. Given how many of...

Book version is totally encapsulated in gleaming white platemail. This is just hard to do in the show obviously. Under that is chainmail and under that is boiled leather. He wears some full helm that you can only see darkness in. All of the other Kingsguard are scared shitless of him as he never...

Book version doesn't even have a head. It won't be easy to kill it lol.

There's no real continuity between the magic seen in the world in GoT. This is intentional as all magic is supposed to be bizarre and unpredictable to the point of not being used or trusted by most people. That being said the Lord of Light's shadowmagic, Greensight (Bran), and Ice Magic are all...

If we're nerding out here. While the Mountain is raised from the dead it was not done so in the same manner as Beric/Lady Stoneheart. Beric was raised by the Lord of Light by Thoros. He later gives the, "breath of life" to raise Cat Stark for some unexplained reason. By comparison the Mountain...

Within reason. That's gross.

Speaking of the Bastards. I am kind of hoping they give the Dreadfort to Tormund and the Wildlings rather than send them out to Eastwatch by the Sea to slay undead. Would also fill the gap of the new House Jon Snow created in the book. Create House Giantsbane of the Dreadfort. Tormund can...

Got a Pressure Cooker on Prime Day that I've kind of been wanting. Going to give it it's maiden voyage on Pork Ribs. Just for something different.
