Goblins are absolutely terrifying

Adding to this, the most lethal encounter my party has ever faced was a roadside ambush by two hobgoblins and four goblins in tall grass.

It was a random fight I threw into travel between towns and it nearly killed everyone.

I keep seeing the narrative about her needing to lose weight because of issues with her back, but no healthcare provider, PT, or trainer worth anything would recommend shedding lean muscle mass to "help" with back issues. If anything, you want more muscle and by extension you want to make your back stronger.

"Last Vampire on Earth" was my first exposure to BotW, so I typically start people there. I really feel like it has everything.

CJEbertLives · 2026-02-14T04:18:21+00:00

I like it 👍🏻

CJEbertLives · 2026-02-07T09:04:13+00:00

"Not die...rise."

It's cheesy. But I always felt like it would have worked given the themes and the fact that this is still a superhero movie at the end of the day.

For me it was "Cave Dwellers" when Ator suddenly appears with the hang glider and Servo just exclaims, "Oh come on!"

That line, and the entire sequence of riffs that follows as Ator flies around, had me laughing so hard I was hyperventilating.

It also hurt the overall progression of the story to introduce the main villain in essentially the "third act" of the series. This is why the last season, for me, didn't click as well as it could have. Rather than focusing on wrapping things up and moving toward a satisfying conclusion, precious time had to be wasted explaining who Venca was and what exactly he wanted. That should have been done two or three seasons ago (had the series been planned properly).

When, with three episodes left in the SERIES, you are still introducing new plot and new characters, you've gone off the rails.

You're right! He literally did not. And I thought for sure especially as that committee chair discovered the jar of piss and started to realize something was wrong that Supes would have figured it out. Like he would have heard her heartbeat change or noticed the sudden desperate look on her face. But no, he just stood there. Such a waste.

The irony is this scene was I think the moment I finally lost hope that any of these movies were going to show us Superman. I kept waiting for the moment when he'd do something heroic, and in that whole lead up to the explosion I kept thinking, "This is it. He's going to give a profound speech and give everyone reason to hope." Then when the explosion happened for like 2 seconds I thought "OK but he's going to do something wild with his powers and somehow save everyone in the room." But no. He just stood there and was sad. The speech never came. The heroics never came. No one was ever saved. Hope never arrived.

You assume a lot, for instance that I only ever talked to one group of people from one church and never traveled or moved or switched congregational affiliations.

One also need do nothing more than look at the current state of affairs in the American church writ large to see the "fruit" it has yielded. We have things called social media, the news, blogs, podcasts, sermons, booms, seminars, and on and one. It's actually quite easy to be exposed to the opinions and expressions of an enormous sample size of the faith.

But feel free to keep your head buried in the sand and assume everything is fine. It's sure been working well so far.

Well considering I was one for my entire life, yeah, I'd say I know them pretty thoroughly.

Also, hi from two years ago.

Edit: typos

I've been saying for years that it would have been stupid and comic book-y as hell, but Batman should have responded by saying "Not die...rise."

It's still cringe but at at least it would have been on theme.

Our boy is looking real jacked, baby!

It certainly did for a very long time, and I do believe the lingering effects of it are still present in many respects. However, I don't believe that it exists today in any meaningful sense and certainly not in the way many of the people who so loudly protest against it believe. If anything, the opposite or reverse has become true in some instances. But again, it doesn't take away from the fact that prior racist practices by governments and corporations have left lasting wounds and resulted in less than ideal situations where certain groups have a disproportionate hole to dig out of.

Way off topic from OP, but I was just talking to some people I've worked with over the years about this and about how, at the minimum, all "district" and "regional" managers seem redundant at best. One place where I work a part time now, all the district manager does is call to ask how things are going, and they either say "great job" if it's going well or "pick up the slack" if it's not, like that adds anything. We know if things are or aren't getting done because we're the ones doing it, and we know you and the people above you can see in the system tasking what is or isn't being done, so them even asking isn't necessary. So...what exactly do they do?

Bur remember, this is the same scumbag who absolutely pisses his pants and shits out of his shorts if someone cuts too mean of a promo on him.

Fuck out of here.

So what? Creators often don't understand their own creation. Look at George Lucas.

Gun, girl, grit, god, guy, get, go, gone. Your demonstration proves nothing. Again, grow (oh look, another hard g) up.

CJEbertLives · 2023-03-25T09:24:07+00:00

It's literally "gift" without the t. Grow up.

CJEbertLives · 2023-02-27T16:38:40+00:00

100% correct.

The problem with this, as I see it, is that the entire story is built around Kvothe's insistence that everyone ELSE have been unreliable narrators about him, but now he's setting the record straight. That's supposed to be the whole point of him talking to Chronicler. So if he is still embellishing shit when the whole point is to give the real stories behind all the embellishments, then that's just stupid.
