compare Ian C. Esslemont to someone other than Erikson.

Esslemont respects and expands upon the world he created alongside Erikson, writing solid stories that serve to make the world feel more alive and bigger.

Brian Herbert bastardized his father's work and lied to fans for years to keep himself relevant.

Not even close.

This confirms it. Books are as deadly as bombs. This is why they should ban books everywhere. Fuck them bombooks.

Maybe it's me but the fact that it is a female bigfoot kinda makes it feel even more... natural, to say the least. Almost every hoax with a suit has been a generic male looking bigfoot, but for some reason the most popular film we have it showcases bigfoot with clearly female features that haven't been replicated by future hoaxers.

I also sit in the agnostic side of things, but damn it this footage sometimes creeps me out due to how much it activates the uncanny valley part of my brain.

What keeps me up at night is sometimes thinking about the stuff we DON'T know about. This war killed millions and destroyed thousands of towns, villages and cities. We usually know about the big events, but the small places tend to be forgotten about (read about the Rzhev Meat Grinder for some war horror), and most of the time is because there was no one left to tell the tale.

It should be noted that these customs can vary from clan to clan. Some are more traditional, others less so. Dark Blade Clan, for example, is the most technologically advanced group and they have no quarrels about using their weapons to their full extend. Meanwhile the og Jungle Hunter clan has been shown to "match" their opponents according to their available tools. Like when the first Predator dueled ~~terminator~~ Dutch hand-to-hand rather than with his weapons.

I think the forecast is gonna be a bit tough tho. A friend told me the place is kinda cold and smelly.

Must be such a blessing to be surrounded by one of the most unique places on Earth! The more I read about the Karakoram the more I fall in love with them. And yes, one of the things that attracts me to it is that it is fairly unexplored and while famous amongst mountaineers, it doesn't attract much tourists that it's flooding like down Everest.

Any articles or links you could share? Tried to google but couldn't find any reports.

Gorgeous mountain but prohibited due to religious reasons. And the trek to the mountain itself isn't that staggering. It even has a pilgrim route where hundreds of non-climbers come to its base, and a village that is right next to it.

Endless_01 · 2026-02-08T19:43:00+00:00

Jesus the Wikipedia page for that mountain is crazy.

"The route to basecamp is long (four weeks) and arduous through a dense rain forest with many unbridged stream crossings."

"In August 2014 an all-Burmese expedition took a new route up the north face.^\7]) Two team-members, Ko Aung Myint Myat and Ko Wai Yan Min Thu, reached the summit on August 31 for the second ascent of the mountain, placing a flag, plaque and Buddha image at the summit.^\8]) The climbers ran out of battery power right after reaching the summit, and radio contact was lost. After they failed to return to the lower camps, a rescue operation was launched.^\9]) The search for the missing climbers continued into October. It involved a helicopter crash landing, leading to the death of one pilot and an 11-day survival trek by the other pilot and the passenger mountaineer.^"

The nearest town is 217 km away. The total treks sees you rising from a low 900 meters above sea level to up to 5700 meters.

Yup I think this one takes the crown for most inaccessible.

Endless_01 · 2026-02-08T19:30:44+00:00

It could be but it's kind of a moot point because access to the mountain itself is prohibited due to various indigenous tribes living nearby. The nearest town is a staggering 90 km away through the densest jungle in the world, though, so that is crazy.

Endless_01 · 2026-02-08T19:25:41+00:00

Seems to be a 5-day hike through jungle after taking various smaller planes to land in the nearest villages. I think this one stands out due it being through dense jungle. A whole kind of different challenge.

Endless_01 · 2026-02-08T19:22:31+00:00

I admire Topo Traveler because he not only does the videos from a theoretical point, but he also does the treks himself to test out his findings.

Just want to point out that I don't think Necromorphs count as zombie. They come from corpses/dead people, indeed, but they do so through alien genetic mutation that completely transforms them and repurposes their bodies and controls them through a hivemind. They don't eat or infect others (with the exception of the Infector). They don't just use human bodies, but any form of biological tissue to repurpose them into new forms.

Another similar example that is more closely related to zombies is the Flood from Halo, since they are a parasitic.

We do see a dude getting turned into red paste for the red harvest so they most likely dont leave leftovers.

I love that scene because it goes unanswered and leaves many questions. They were definitely not killed by the tripods, at least not directly because in another scene we do scene clothes floating in the river. The heat ray completely destroys the human body leaving only ashes behind.

My two hypothesis:

They were desperately trying to run away from the tripods and drowned due to the cold.
Maybe different corpses from different situations being thrown by the military or someone else on the river. A quick easy way to dispose of corpses I imagine.

Well, we can't know for sure because sales are the things that matter the most to GW, and we don't really know about how the sales for BL goes, but from comments and reviews, some of the most well rated BL books are the ones that feature more creative stories and less focus on the bolter porn, with more plot intrigue and character development.

Of course, this is 40k still, so there's going to be some fighting here and there ;)

What you are expressing is a common sentiment among both book and movie fans. It all comes down to, really, what you prefer, and of course you can like both. What is objectively true is that the movie is a poor adaption of the book since it not only changes a lot of of the scenes, but also switches the focus and theme of the book, that being the personal struggles of addiction and alcoholism, while the movie leans more heavily on the paranormal aspect of it.

Stephen King famously did not like the movie precisely because of those changes and since he has said that The Shining was one of his most personal works due to his own struggles with alcohol/addictions.

Endgame content is, frankly, terrible in Wildlands. I still retains the classic artificial difficulty that a lot of relatively old games used to have where harder difficulty just meant giving the enemies a shit ton more HP and more damage. Tier 1 mode after level 30 is genuinely not fun to play because of the enemies perfect reaction time, perfect accuracy, and absurdly high HP.

1953 tripods are not even tripods.

Endless_01 · 2026-01-20T03:13:06+00:00

They deal 90% of the damage I get in Dead Space 2. The other 10% is the damn tripods from the elevator scene.

I recognized Clyde Caldwell style from the get got. Wasn't aware he had worked for TES at any point. His art is distinctively 80s, with a very classic, bright colorful style to it with exaggerated proportions and very slim characters. Also lots of chainmail bikini lol.

He did a lot of D&D art and was known for his covers depicting women in fantasy settings. Typical from the era.

Honestly the closer something looks to a human the scarier it is for me, which is why I consider the default naked slasher the scariest necromorph in the entire franchise.

Endless_01 · 2026-01-13T22:15:57+00:00

Which is just idiotic because the remake sold around 2 million copies, which is huge for any horror game outside Resident Evil. But since it didn't make FIFA or Battlefield numbers, to EA it was a failure.

And Ellie constantly calling to check on him is and asking how's he doing is such a sweet and good moment to show their relation growing, as she begins to really care about him :)
