    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    instead they decided it was better to shove in crap like giant's milk or bronn crossbow scenes, instead of building on the really important characters.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    FF7 was the final fantasy game with best storyline and characters, the other ones were too abstract and meandering. The environmentalism and oil-exploitation angle was good stuff, and relevant for it's time and today. Other final fantasy games are just... blahhh.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    the books consistently hammer that ramsay is more of a malicious brute and that Roose is far more cunning and the real danger. I really hope Ramsay killing roose doesn't happen in the books, although I've seen some speculation that's one of the milestones given to D&D by GRRM.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    the problem is that Dance with Dragons showed GRRM himself has huge issues with the writing. where the TV show oversimplifies and dumbs everything down, GRRM overcomplicates instead, when he needs to simplify and focus down. for each relatively big character he kills off he introduces two more...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's already been pretty heavily alluded that sam will write the Song of Ice and Fire as a chronicle of what transpired during King Roberts last days. This is from season 7: Archmaester: "If you're going to write histories, Tarly, you have to do the research, if you want people to read your...

    Bosch

    Season 5 is out, about drug trade across the border. Immediately starts off by insinuating how silly a border wall is.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Completely ruining GRRM storyline... it was never about a final battle for the iron throne, which is what the series will come down to.

    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    Recently re-watched the fifth element, it's actually pretty overrated.

    Is the book as full of sjwism? It seems to have gotten worse since the first season.

    True Detective

    Such a huge buildup and subsequent let down. The opportunity to tie into the villains from season 1, to have his partner part of the villains and using his memory against him solving the case, and also using his absentee daughter thread to this. Instead they just chose to dissolve all tension...

    Kingdom Hearts III

    So streamers have been all over this for the last 10 hours. Seems more of the same but crisper. Story is still a mess.

    StarCraft 2

    So basically Mana managed to beat it by using it's propensity to bring back large chunks of army to defend against harassment. People are also arguing if the kind of "zoomed out" mode the computer uses to interact with the map is a "map hack" or not, even though the devs kind of suggested that...

    So many streamers jumping on the KH bandwagon in preparation now. Seeing the story again makes me realize how little sense it makes.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Re-played the game, all three DLCs, hardest difficulty and level up-scaling on everything. Overall, POE2 writing, storyline and companions is inferior to POE1. The DLCs don't provide the same storytelling improvements as White march did to POE1, they're smaller in scale. The good is that the...

    I hope they go back to the first season theme of lovecraftian undertones and weird cults.

    Mortal Engines (2018)

    Agree, lots of plot holes, too many over-used tropes, basically no jokes or humor, too many characters they try to you care for but feel flat.

    [CHESS] Carlsen vs Caruana - World Chess Championship match

    Yes, and some argue that rapid/blitz is allowing for more "true chess", where intuition, game sense and gut play a greater part. A true grandmaster of chess needs to balance both fast and slow deliberations. That is why Magnus is the more deserving champion.

    [CHESS] Carlsen vs Caruana - World Chess Championship match

    One thing they definitely could change is removing the rest day between every two games. That just makes the whole thing drag out and allows for more prep of safe sterile lines.

    [CHESS] Carlsen vs Caruana - World Chess Championship match

    that's probably why carlsen is playing so tamely throughout, he's just biding his time for the rapid chess.

    [CHESS] Carlsen vs Caruana - World Chess Championship match

    So Magnus has been champ for 5 years. Really even matches thus far, moreso than previous years I believe. But most commentators think a Magnus win in the end.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I wonder how much companies like Huawei paid them for this. I guess they are gearing to dip more into the casual asian markets.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    seems to me to be a general misinterpretation of standard chemistry, biology and physics. it's been quite conclusively shown that consciousness is an after-the-fact rationalization of pre-determined responses to stimuli put in a social context. some people don't like it and, like this guy, try...

    Twitch.tv

    then you have speedrunners that when they run "their" game, they get some 1000 viewers, but when they try to branch out because they get burnt out on the game, they go into a couple of hundred tops and can't make it. it seems much harder to become a variety streamer with a solid 1000+ viewer...

    Twitch.tv

    that's why successful streamers also get into sponsorship deals, charity streams and convention panels, to be able to put that kind of stuff on their resumes. it's something to building and driving your own media buisiness.
