I only take on gross work, as per rhyming conventions gross work is your gross worth.

Enjoy it, I wish I could go back and play MGS1 for the first time again. Such a good game.

I think it was just a contrivance to both make a sport for the books while also allowing the Main Character to automatically be the most important person all the time (like basically everything else in the books).

The lesson heard is probably “more sequels”

I would mostly be confused based on my lack of any programming experience.

I’m assuming the vagueness of the phrase “record player engagement” means it has a lot more to do with engagement with whatever microtransaction they have going than engagement with the game itself.

I’m hoping even a junior dev has had more than 60 hours of training.

“And we would’ve gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for those meddling bloggers.”

Gonna have to go the Bill and Ted route.

I’ll figure out what I need in the next 50 years and let him know there. Now the time traveler can just tell me whatever I want to have wanted to know.

I’m somewhat with you, but Bran was the POV character for Chapter 1 of Book 1. He was very much a main character from the literal beginning. If anything, the show messed up by failing to make him an interesting main character.

Don’t know what you’re talking about. I would love a show like The Martian where it’s just Nick Offerman fixing problems and building shit in the apocalypse.

Considering last year was six days ago…I agree.

I understand your frustration. It seems the two answers are “try therapy” and practice controlling your thoughts in the moment. Which can be annoying when you’ve already been doing both. I don’t have any better answers unfortunately.

Yes, but at least they aren’t getting any useful data out of it. Jokes on them…

This is why I’ve created a life so tedious and boring that there’s no advantage to spying on me.

You listed a lot of things that were foreshadowed largely in the books. I felt that the dialogue just about immediately fell off as soon as they ran out of book. Everyone felt very much on their own “tracks” and did not veer past that starting immediately with how they dealt with Jon just…coming back at the start of the season. Characters started teleporting wherever they needed to be, and episodes started feeling a lot more like a poor combination of big budget action scenes and desperate attempts to connect those by having two characters talk at each other alone in a room.

I feel like Jaime’s failed redemption arc was missing something (maybe a couple books worth of further development and foreshadowing?) and the whole Bran debacle felt like it was really supposed to be something and they just “kind of forgot” to ever actually set it up.

I think there are some good reasons GRRM has had such trouble finishing the series and the show runners just never even noticed and steamrolled straight to the end.

A legit ~50% reduction in the government based on a random metric with no thought given to consequence or if the government would even still function.

One might even call it “arbitrary and capricious.”

Of course there is zero way each of them will find that many people, let alone the levels below that. It’s a scam that benefits those higher up, and the ones lower will likely not receive anything.

And part of the scam is to tell people that there’s still time to be one of the early higher ups scamming other people!

Agreed. I want a better torrent.
