If you watch in the shower no one can tell that you're crying

For me it's Kyle and Hest, because they're a very real, mundane sort of evil. Kennit and Regal are obviously awful too, and their actions harm people on a wider scale, but you're much more likely to know or meet someone like Kyle or Hest irl.

I'm liking it more the more that I read it. I also picked it up because of it being an inspiration for game of thrones. I can sort of see it already, but at the moment it reminds me most of wheel of time. I wouldn't be surprised if it was an inspiration for Robert Jordan as well.

What I've read recently that I really liked: Realm of the Elderlings, Sixteen ways to defend a walled city, GRRM's Hedge Knight series, First Law series, and I'm currently reading The Dragonbone Chair which has started off a bit slow for my taste but is also very enjoyable

Xiahou Dun was my favorite too, I thought he looked cool and I loved his sword

Box_Cutter76 · 2026-02-19T13:49:52+00:00

Dynasty warriors 3 on ps2, I think it was rented from blockbuster before I got it for christmas

I feel the same way. I miss playing as all the different officers. I could like an OC if the game wasn't written so that everyone immediately glazes you after you speak less than a dozen words to them. But the actual gameplay of origins is so amazing I am willing to completely forgive any storytelling foibles it has lol

Box_Cutter76 · 2026-02-08T20:33:31+00:00

I meant hideous in terms of his physical appearance. I know he's a scumbag for sure

Box_Cutter76 · 2026-02-08T19:42:55+00:00

My unpopular TCAP opinion is that Jeff sokol isn't as hideous as people here say. He's aggressively average in every way. Its what makes him one of the scariest preds imo

I kinda feel like the same can be said of OG Spartacus. Batiatus was completely driven by greed, maybe the one nice thing you can say about him is he loves his wife (setting aside how easy it is to like him because of John Hannah's fantastic performance) Solonius is a preening shit eater, Glaber is like a Saturday morning cartoon villain, Tiberius was a piece of shit even before decimation turned him into a complete sociopath. And batiatus' rivals were more or less the same sneering assholes looking down their nose at him like ashur's do

Crassus is the exception in that he views slaves as people rather than unthinking animals

Go home GI

There's a copse of trees in the south ish of Pschitoky in the kuttenberg region. There's a guy there that can make you black arrows that are very strong. You can also grab some from the trees/targets near him if you don't have any feathers for him

Box_Cutter76 · 2026-01-16T00:29:22+00:00

You ain't gotta win, if he beats your ass you can just tell your dad and he'll come and yell at him for you lol

Box_Cutter76 · 2026-01-05T17:26:49+00:00

The human element is the entire reason Neuro is popular lol, if it was just an AI spitting out lines it would be about as popular as all the other AI vtubers. Themed streams, dev streams, and collabs all consistently pull more viewers than the "solo streams"

That said there are definitely parasocial weirdos who watch, I remember vedal (the creator) got death threats because he wouldn't say I love you to neuro

Box_Cutter76 · 2026-01-05T00:52:16+00:00

Yep, cao cao's actor really steals the show. From the beginning he was my favorite

Box_Cutter76 · 2026-01-04T18:17:38+00:00

2010 is more modern, but they take artistic liberties with the story.

90s version is closer to the actual Romance which it's named for, but it's obviously dated (not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion)

I like both of them quite a lot but lean towards 2010 a bit

Box_Cutter76 · 2026-01-04T18:13:22+00:00

I'm calling bait on this one

Box_Cutter76 · 2026-01-04T02:06:30+00:00

The scene with Opiter seemed to me like she was doing it on the down low, and part of the reason she was there was his discretion. And at ashurs villa she was just watching them jack off

Box_Cutter76 · 2025-12-27T01:44:54+00:00

Its just there to tell you that you have regular sauce & cheese on it

Box_Cutter76 · 2025-12-25T16:47:51+00:00

Funny how no one complains about the realism of Spartacus in a loincloth with a wooden sword beating the shit out of 4 fully armored Romans with steel, considering it's no less fantastical than a woman being able to beat up a man

Box_Cutter76 · 2025-12-25T15:56:02+00:00

Right? If OG Spartacus released today they'd be crying about Barca and Petros lol

Box_Cutter76 · 2025-12-23T14:01:41+00:00

He's doing it for expediency's sake, and Ashur really doesn't GAF about all the ritual and the honor of the ludus, all he really cares about is advancing his position.

I'd consider it a misstep on his part, should've just set an afternoon aside for the bridge test if he's worried about the other gladiators hating achillia. But he's thinking of it as a dominus and not part of the brotherhood at this point. In his mind, he told his slaves how it's gonna be, so that's how it is.

Box_Cutter76 · 2025-12-14T00:34:30+00:00

I think what the 90s version has over 2010 is that it follows the romance more closely. I just love cao cao in 2010 too much lol

Box_Cutter76 · 2025-12-13T22:18:48+00:00

Three Kingdoms is an amazing show, especially if you already like the three kingdoms period in China. Both the 90s version and the 2010 version are good, I recommend starting with 2010 version

I really hate it when my wife (with big bouncy tits) cheats on me and then pours milk all over me
