    This is going to sound shitty, but this is FoH, so fuck it. I feel like these events might just be good "mini-purges." Yeah, it sucks people die, but we've got a lot of people. A lot of net negatives to society. More than likely the bulk of the people who die will be people who weren't really...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Bran not knowing actually makes no fucking sense whatsoever, because we literally got a scene where he's there at the Tower of Joy. We get the identical scene of Lyanna giving birth. The only difference between the two scenes is this time we actually get to hear her say his name, but Bran...

    Yeah, but it took them 5 years to get there. We just didn't get that passage of time. Don't worry if it doesn't make sense.

    Can't believe they left us with a year of bitching about traveling times. For 90 minutes, I feel like not much happened. Too much shit with Cersei (although Tyrion's scene was good), and Theon's redemption arc. Really, Littlefinger's death (wasted character), the Wall falling, a 6 year too...

    This is what happens when people freak out about hurricane force winds, but ignore the rain forecast. "Oh, hey, that hurricane wasn't so bad." Meanwhile 72 hours later you're dead.

    My only experience with boxing is Punch Out, but how do you stop the fight when both guys are still on their feet?

    Yeah, this honestly sounds like Texas is kind of fucked. The wind from a hurricane kind of sucks, but it's honestly not a huge deal. But flooding? Man, flooding will do a shit load of damage. And this sounds like biblical flooding.

    The camera guy is so shit for this. Almost rather watch individual streamers. Edit: Game 3 for FPP Duos was much better. And I've got to give them props for having someone from the company come out right at the end saying, "Yeah, we fucked up on this and this, and we'll try to make it better."

    Investing General Discussion

    It's not. It's a .24% fee just to use their services, at the absolute minimum (higher the less you have). And that's before you even get into whatever the fee is for the fund. That's versus Vanguard where you're looking at probably .1 to .15% for having that small of an amount. I'd also guess...

    It just doesn't make sense why Dany would go north of the wall. Nothing that could have been sent with the raven would have changed how she originally felt. "Oh, hey, we actually did find the zombies and it went poorly. Please send help." Well no shit, that was the only logical conclusion for...

    Investing General Discussion

    I highly recommend you don't try to do active trading for long term investing. And if you're not doing active trading, .25% is abysmal. Open an account with Vanguard or Fidelity, pick one of the numerous .04-.07% index funds, and stop trying to think you're smarter than the market.

    One thing that bothers me is how quickly Daenerys drops everything and flies north. Why the fuck didn't she just go to begin with? What could have possibly been written with that raven that changes mind from "fuck you all" to "I'm on my way" in such a hurry?

    We flew to visit my wife's family, who are between Hopkinsville and Carbondale. Which is basically dead center between the two big points. Was pretty awesome. Sounds like everyone north and south of us had clouds. We got to see everything, including the shadow snakes (prior to C2, C3 they...

    Apparently on Reddit they did some kind of straw poll and 1st person is the overwhelming favorite. I definitely agree, mostly due to the bullshit of hiding behind stuff and getting sniped. My only complaint is they really need to get the leaderboard activated for it. We've been winning...

    I mean, we talk about some of the big trips, but even Tormund just waltzed up to the wall from Winterfell in the blink of an eye. That looks to be, what, 3-4x the distance between Hardhome and the wall? And that was literally just one episode.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I get that. As viewers, we're waiting for that event. But for the characters of the show, they can't know that the wall will inevitably have some trigger event that allows them to pass through. That'd be ridiculous. The whole thing just points back to terrible writing by GRRM, similar to...

    At some point did we get some exposition about the White Walkers marching towards the wall? Because even if not, that's the impression we've got. If every time we saw them they were wrecking some shit, it might make sense. But if they've been "marching towards the wall" for the last 4 or 5...

    I don't know why they couldn't do something like Mario Galaxy type levels (without all the pits and shit to fall into space) with super zoomed out 3rd person. By zooming out you can avoid the speed feeling too fast.

    Steam Early Access Gaming - Guilty Pleasure Pick-Ups

    I've actually probably put in more hours into EA games than released at this point. Between PUBG, Rust, and 7 Days to Die I've got a ridiculous amount of hours. I'd say only Dota 2 has more into it than those.

    Jumping on the lazy writing bandwagon, this is absolutely what will happen. What could be explained away by a rational conversation that two people would normally have will get the TV show treatment of, "we'll just talk around it." I don't even blame the GoT writers for that one, because almost...
