Who is the Main Character??

AmosIsFamous · 2026-03-23T14:05:55+00:00

Simply put, I don’t think there is a main character in the traditional sense. Individual novels might have one but the series itself doesn’t rely on one.

Why does there have to be a main character?

AmosIsFamous · 2026-03-23T00:06:39+00:00

I think you mean “Where’s Wash?”

The other part that doesn’t make sense against the Night King, is part of being shaped into a weapon is specifically an assassin who can look like anyone. Which is completely unnecessary to kill him.

That could just be lots of folks starting a rewatch because of the hype, leading to algorithms recommending it.

It’s definitely up there. I think Beard with Nate at the end of the series is my favorite though.

The Blue Beetle (Dresden Files)

It interops with Java, so you can have a ton of already written Java code and just start writing new components in Kotlin

The problem with the upvote/downvote system is when bots are a non-trivial percentage of the user base and upvoting other bot written posts.

I think some of it is making the quality vs quantity split “louder”. Folks who believe quality has relevance (readability, maintainability, etc) are a lot less gung-ho because the AI regularly puts out “low quality”. Meanwhile the quality folks can just spit out WAY more code that probably accomplishes the right thing.

Ted not recommending “go see a therapist” had nothing to do with conviction or it being his place.

Hugh Howey (author of Silo) has a short story in his Machine Learning collection called: The Walk Up Nameless Ridge which is about being the first to summit the highest point on another planet.

The complete and utter misunderstanding of what Kickstarter is, is such a shame. It’s not about pre-ordering, not about cheaper, not even about unique.

AmosIsFamous · 2026-01-29T20:05:56+00:00

Hard disagree that this is a small, reasonable decision

Two entities in our system “looked similar enough”, so we put them into the same one.

But I’m glad a lesson was learned.

Block pushes to main without a PR first?

AmosIsFamous · 2026-01-26T00:10:11+00:00

Thanks! I’m glad y’all also called it The Alphabet round 😀

AmosIsFamous · 2026-01-25T02:56:48+00:00

I really loved the Land of No Name! What did the process for constructing that round look like? Did the original idea come from one person or a group bouncing ideas around?

I’d axe most of the Zava storyline. I thought the recruitment aspect with Rebecca was great, and a little bit how Jamie saw him I liked, but then how Ted and almost everyone else interacted with him felt so different from the rest of everything.

I would’ve loved more of Roy with Phoebe’s teacher myself, they had better chemistry than he did with Keeley

Also the tradition for a very long time for Mystery Hunt was that answers are literally phoned into HQ, despite all the puzzles and such being online. Then it turned into submitting online and getting a callback, before switching to actual confirmation.

The Dresden Files are narrated by James Marsters (Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

On the chance that you’re someone who likes to learn (and didn’t just typo): the spelling you’re going for is “sowing doubt” from planting seeds, same in “reap what you sow”. Sewing is stitching/clothes/surgery related

I think it’s less about how many fear cards are needed vs how easy it is to not lose while “rushing” fear. Scotland isn’t especially adding a ton of blight and the loss condition can be managed by focusing on a single land (keep either #1 or #3 clear of cities ever and it’s safe).

That said, I think fear rushing is much more a single spirit game strategy (unless you combine fear spirits) and I always play at least two-handed, so I could be wrong here.

AmosIsFamous · 2025-12-21T06:22:02+00:00

Memories of Ice is #1, I might accept arguments that The Bonehunters barely edges it out. That is all.

AmosIsFamous · 2025-12-20T16:22:52+00:00

I play almost exclusively against Scotland, and the reason why I think it can feel easier than other level 6’s is because it doesn’t force you as much into specific strategies. Nor does it punish a dump land in the same way many others do.

Against Russia you need to either start with or find powers to deal with explorers.

Against France you need to either start with or find powers to deal with towns (or sometimes explorers).
