    So it's like Dota 2 rules where you either can't sell them, or have to wait 3 years?

    Yeah, Jessica actually seems pretty good at the game, but Cody has absolutely fucked her over (besides the actual fucking). And I really think without Paul and Josh I think it would be a lot more entertaining. Paul, because he's just made the game shit, and Josh because he's a child and just...

    Thank fuck they decided to revert the drag-drop looting change. Sounds like F looting will also be faster now?

    Yeah, I did that one. Turned it in at about 99.95%. It only took me to about 15% into 56.

    Damn, wish I still had access to the Olvia channels. Then again, I haven't had much time to grind. Most of my money lately is coming from processing. I've been at about 30-35% exp for level 56 for like 3 weeks now.

    One million dollars!

    It probably varies by person, but I'm about 3/8 of the way to retirement now, looking at maybe 6 more years. It's already incredibly difficult to give a shit. If I were to get fired, we could probably last 10-12 years. I think for some people that'd be incredibly freeing, but for me it's just...

    Shit, first squad game since the reset, and we won. Guess we'll be back into high rankings again. We had been around 8k and it was difficult.

    This is why I brought up Green Seers though. All the other shit could have a different explanation. But not that. Dire wolves? Just big wolves. Wild fire? Chemical reactions. The wall? Well, technically it's just a wall (ignore the magic) Valyrian Steel? Just a different ore. But Green Seers...

    Yes, that's what I was getting at earlier. The dragons/comet/white walkers all appeared at once and were supposed to be when magic came back into the world. But that's clearly not the case. So fuck if I know.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I was specifically asking about pre-Daenerys' dragons. But I came up with a few examples since then. Magic was definitely a part of the world before then, and not just stories. I feel like there's a bit of a disconnect there still, but I'll look past it mostly because I read the books so long...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That's not true. In fact, I've been quite critical of how meandering the writing in books 4 and 5 was. I'm just pointing out that the further we get into this story, the more the plot holes have started to open and logic within the story has fallen apart. Honestly, this show is starting to...

    You're right Scream, I'm wrong about the bad writing. I should attribute more to magic. Like Euron's magical fleet and magical shipyard with magic ship builders.

    It's weird because there was a huge fuss a couple months ago when everyone thought the tab looting was being changed, but it turned out we misread the notes. But now not much talk about it. And I think first person mode should fix some of the sniper issues. When you can't spot from behind the...

    Feel like more shit should work like fences. I had a kill at about 3:30 in this where it works like I think it should. Destructible environment is realistic. And forgive me for the artifacting in my video. Still trying to figure out the whole editing videos thing (going to try out Vegas...

    Dire wolves you just explain as big wolves. That's not magic. The trees is definitely a good example. And since you mentioned those, it did remind me about the green seers. That shit is definitely "magic." Not sure if there was any warging going on south of the wall, but that's a possibility as...

    Such as? The only thing I can think of is the wall, but they just think of it as a wall, not a magic wall. All the other magic shit is post-dragons.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If so, that seems like an even bigger fuck up in writing. "Magic" was supposed to be a fairy tale in their world. It was only when the dragons/meteor/WW's came back that "magic" returned. If they've been using magic ravens for the last few hundred years since magic disappeared, I...I don't even...

    So....you just give the raven directions, like, "Hey, go find a boat with really big sails. It should be in this general direction. Make sure it's the BIG sails though! And they're black with a giant gold kraken. You know what krakens are, right raven?" Man, ravens are really fucking smart.

    I mean, I said the same thing about how Euron ended up going to King's Landing instead of Dragonstone, and Scream jumped all over my shit about how "Cersei invited him." But the motherfucker was on a boat. I guess he gets good cell service in the middle of the Narrow Sea. Honestly, I'm at the...

    I hope the vehicle physics change doesn't mean they fixed things like crashing and rag-dolling the vehicle 300 feet into the air. Because that shit is hilarious. I'm also glad they made it so disconnected players can reconnect. Figured that would've been in a long time ago. Looking forward to...

    Then you're just back to "bad writing" again. "Character says he's going to do X" "Character does the opposite of X, with no explanation as to why" It'd be like if Arya has her scene with the Lannister army and says she's heading to Kings Landing to kill Cersei, and the next time we see her is...

    So I went back to read her plot synopsis, and I guess you're right -- it's just that she's a dyke that I don't like about her I guess. That said, I noticed this from last season, "Euron wins the Kingsmoot by proposing to marry Daenerys Targaryen and help her exact brutal vengeance on the...

    I'd say that book readers like Jaime a lot more. His redemption arc in the books actually made sense. TV show Jaime is fucking baffling.

    If so, they've really misread everything. Ellaria and Yara are both reprehensible characters. Completely unlikable. Honestly, seeing Ellaria's torture made me like Cersei a bit. Despite all their efforts to portray her as "Darth Cersei" this season.

    Is that just a PVP thing though? Because I'm pretty much PVE only. Maybe that's why I don't see the fuss over accuracy.

    Except it was all built on this ridiculous premise that Dany needed to divide up her forces to somehow win. The idea that her massive army of Unsullied, 3 dragons, and Dothraki couldn't take the city is ridiculous. And considering Cersei is a fucking monster, the Dothraki invaders not being...

    And yet, we had a scene this week with Sansa talking logistics about food stores and even piddly shit like not lining steel armor in leather during the winter. It just shows a lack of quality writing. It's not necessarily "bad," it's just that it could be a whole lot better. Just cut the Sansa...

    This actually brought up a good point. Arya wasn't too far from Winterfell; maybe halfway between there and Kings Landing. And yet in the time she's been traveling, Euron has sailed basically around the entire continent from KL to Casterly Rock. What the fuck is taking her so long?

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I guess I give them the benefit of the doubt on this one because everyone traveled far at once, except for Jaime. Jon - Dragonstone from Winterfell, long sea travel Unsullied - Casterly Rock from Dragonstone (started previous episode), probably the longest journey Euron - Kings Landing...
