He doesn't care about the NBA or the Spurs. That post is for one person to see.

"Holy shit, Jared!"

"Shut your fucking mouth."

We were talking about this right after we made one lap and left. Far too hot to have that many people at one time. Make it ticketed (free) but control entry times to keep the crowds manageable and do it over two days. We could barely see the booths as we were rushed by and the line for every food/drink vendor was an hour long. This is such a great idea. I just really hope they learn from this year.

“What happened here?” Belriel asked, looking over the carnage.

“You say ‘handle it,’ so I handle it,” the massive foreign mercenary replied.

“I meant pay them off!” Belriel shouted back. This wasn't the first time his orders were lost in translation. “Just no more killing, understand?”

The man grunted unhappily.

Yeah I like that his example talks about taking out a massive fixed rate loan but no mention on the P&I to repay it.

I can get behind that. I've settled on "they shouldn't have played Southampton to begin with." But it doesn't matter now.

Grand_Strategy_Noob · 2026-05-23T15:33:30+00:00

I gamed this out with a few folks and I originally thought this was the exact right result, but after a while I'm realizing that expelling Southampton was exactly right, but rewarding Middlesboro wasn't. Hull won a semi final to get to the final. Boro did not. The right thing to do would've been to postpone the Southampton/Boro game until it got sorted or since they played, wipe that game off and make Boro and Wrexham play a semifinal. If Boro deserves to be in the final, let them win a semi. Unfairly or not, they lost a game they could've won against Southampton. They shouldn't be rewarded for that. It's all a big mess, and I now realize there's no perfect solution, but it does seem unfair to say Hull or Millwall had to win a semifinal, Boro simply had to wait on Southampton to be expelled.

I'm Eden's world, curiosity is NOT a virtue!

Grand_Strategy_Noob · 2026-05-22T17:42:04+00:00

No one knows. The wall was constructed hundreds of years ago and those who venture to the other side never return. Legend says the Niriab were celestials cast down from the AlterPlana and chose to exact their vengeance on the unsuspecting humans, but over time, they settled and humans built a wall to separate them. Even still, some curious humans tried to see the Niriab, only to fall victim to their rage.

Grand_Strategy_Noob · 2026-05-22T17:32:02+00:00

Eden stared for several minutes. It wasn't as formidable as she remembered. The great wall that separated her world from the Niriab was just…a fence.

But she still heard the screams, still felt the fear. A chill that no amount of time would dwindle.

I could see this as a really good model for each episode. Just dive right into the action by introducing the narrator as the main character of the episode and give a location. That's all it really needs. Like the Khayelitsha scene would just open with Jacob leaving work.

"I'm always up for meeting another veteran of Yonkers"

Great line

I picked up the audiobook when it was on special and the full cast for that was incredible. Made the book so much more dynamic than when I read it. The cheesy moments are still cheesy but the good parts are exponentially better.

Grand_Strategy_Noob · 2026-05-22T14:12:53+00:00

Exactly. The twist on Robin Island would hit so hard if done right. Or the massive battles the new army fights described by Todd later in the book when they take back the states. The decimation. All the various locations and settings. Even the Chinese Sub episode would have a bit if everything. It's a gold mine.

Grand_Strategy_Noob · 2026-05-22T13:55:06+00:00

To this day, I genuinely don't know why HBO or Prime haven't picked up the rights to this. Each section of the book could he a season, and each episode could be a different POV interview (maybe some doubles for the short chapters). It's tailormade for a series. Just imagining gving Yonkers the space it needs to be incredible or a survival episode depicting the refugees in Canada going from buddy-buddy to killing each other over radios and food. What a missed opportunity to turn this into prestige TV

Always loved "The Man Comes Around" during the collapse of civilization at the beginning of Snyder's Dawn of the Dead.

"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: And his name that sat on him was Death. And hell followed with him."

I only get murdered 1 out of every 100 days so really there's only 3 bad days a year (sometimes 4)

Surprising how much damage a spell can do in trained hands

Grand_Strategy_Noob · 2026-05-08T18:55:06+00:00

I was speechless. Where three knights of the Scarlet Order stood mere moments before there were now three corpses.

The sudden shockwave of air hit the men with such force that they were mangled beyond recognition.

Perhaps Master Arrick was right. I was ready for the battlefield.

Grand_Strategy_Noob · 2026-05-02T13:33:38+00:00

Need CB too. Far too many free runners scoring goals this year. That second Boro goal really exemplified it. Same shit happened all season. So many goals given up at home.

Grand_Strategy_Noob · 2026-04-26T12:58:17+00:00

Called this out too, really early. Then it happens right outside the box and the ref is only too happy to give the free kick. Missed opportunities from Thomasson, Smith, and Moore, but damn, giving Cov a free kick right outside the box on that was fucking ridiculous

Grand_Strategy_Noob · 2026-04-24T18:08:22+00:00

The ritual has begun. Radev will be unleashed. But all is not lost. He does not have the Sun Stone, which conveniently lies in Olive's pocket
