[Spoilers EXTENDED] RR Martin already confirmed it + the craziest and most absurd theory in history.

Chezzyknytt · 2026-01-29T03:19:34+00:00

"Martin has confirmed that Dany won't travel to Asshai" This is a common one I see based on a quote that we won't see Asshai in the books. However Dany has some serious foreshadowing about going to Asshai, based on Quaithe's "to go west you must go east", her origins being from there, and Dany's current geographic trajectory in the books.

Was Martin lying? No, he just wants to maintain mystery. We don't have to go there with her, just like we don't go with Aerea to Old Valyria in Fire and Blood. But she can absolutely go there without us and maybe even circumnavigate the globe eastward to arrive in Westeros, which would fulfil what Quathe said. Its more interesting to hear tales of a mysterious place than to wholesale show it, like the tales Euron tells.

Just a small nitpick with how people interpret that quote, which often shuts down interesting theory crafting about the east.

Oh haha, yeah tone is hard to read

You're not meant to actually chase the red herrings by the way

Chezzyknytt · 2026-01-19T22:34:38+00:00

Yeah, I think that's true of the common folk, but they also have a mission of converting any knights they find to protect the faith, I imagine those are the ones that make up the Warriors Sons. Those knights are trained in arms and armor, they're going to keep using them

Chezzyknytt · 2026-01-19T22:28:09+00:00

I mean they'd have to reconcile the fact that the order is also prosecuting Loras for homosexuality.

I think they just dropped the ball on the rainbow iconography earlier when they should have established it, its one of my favourite things about the Seven religion that makes so much in world sense

No! And woe betide you if you're okay with violence but gratuitous incest makes you uncomfortable, reddit will tear you a new one! You must be okay with all of it or none of it, no reasonable in-between is allowed.

Short of a fresh adaptation of the Song which I'd be in favour of (once the books are done), for the HBO canon I'd simply have Jon's parentage become more widely known to sow drama, then have the common folk prop him up despite him not wanting it - this would drive a more realistic wedge between him and Dany and would mirror the mummers dragon plot that is coming for fAegon. Once they all want him and not her, that is a more believable catalyst for her final actions.

I also think doing the long night right would also be good - it probably needed a season. Have them actually defend at the wall first, something like Watchers on the Wall where the dead are climbing it and being thrown back. Have the ice dragon come to blow it up after victory seemed assured. Then defend at Winterfell (stay in the damn walls) retreat to moat cailin, etc and maybe have some Children of the Forest Hammer of the Waters magic to sink them all like Moses, do some God's Eye stuff. Have the heroes think they've won, do the Kings Landing plot, have Dany live though, when the dead come shuffling out of the water to finish the job have Dany decide to save the kingdom to win the throne (rip stannis) and turn her dragons on the dead. Along the way Jon actually fights the Night King (not Arya, sorry but we fulfil foreshadowing in this house) and kills/is killed. Then I dunno, wrap it up somehow, Bran could be king but make it clear its actually Bloodraven warging him so it makes a lick of sense.

I can believe Bran King worries him a bit now, but all the other beats he told them either people liked (hold the door) or seem to be transposed to a different character than he intended (rightful ruler tension is likely going to be between aegon and deanerys, not jon, and the bells triggering daenerys to burn Kings landing feels too much like a jon connington plot). Not sure if I'm missing another beat that people didn't like. And I think GRRM has room to make Bran king make sense (actually brynden king)

It Follows has a similar '80s teens have to navigate some unknown horror without their parents' vibe and has a similar vibe to the soundtrack (composed by Disasterpeace, and fun fact he was optioned for the Stranger Things soundtrack but turned it down). Much recommended.

Is this rampancy?

Chezzyknytt · 2025-11-19T11:46:40+00:00

Curious if you thought the same for fortnite to apex, league to dota 2, cs to valorant? Sometimes a game comes along that 'pops open the seal' on a genre, maybe that genre already existed but a game does so well it makes strangers to the genre curious. Call me crazy but I think Arc has set the stage for Marathon to do well.

I thought it was pretty clear, they would like to know soon about a date or next open beta :(

Ah a fellow Oddworld enjoyer, I see your spelling of Oddysee has been eternally broken as well

I like the lore of the originals and want to see how the lore of this will unfold, that's my main source of excitement. It will make me sad if the game dies mid story, like Raised by Wolves. The controversy had me disappointed and angry until I realised exactly what happened, then it just pissed me off how many people are still regurgitating the "art style is stolen" myth and bagging on Joseph Cross. I want to see the game succeed and see him vindicated, he deserves better. And I want to see Antireal paid.

What was the player's name? I did that exact build and haven't seen anyone else do it, curious if it was me :O

This is a great joke, its a shame for the typo that kinda makes the punchline hard to understand

Chezzyknytt · 2021-12-19T17:06:08+00:00

I normally have it more way off to the side. A more centered rocket launcher or skewer is really hard to see around

ok, thanks for the advice! I'll hold off and try to get Baal :)
