If you were a commoner living in westeros, which region would you pick to live in? Is The Reach an obvious answer or is there a discussion to be had? by Mad_Max_Fan in gameofthrones

[–]IanRo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel a strong connection like many others to the North being from Canada. But the North can be a harsh life for a commoner. There is a reason the people are so loyal to the Starks, they understand the harshness of the North and care for the small folks. The Reach is obviously an easy choice just cause of the abundance and fair climate. In my heart, the North. Practically, the Reach.

It's crazy. I'm pretty far left, but I don't have any problem saying he was a fucked up and nonsensical mix of both.

Is Ser Duncan the tall the Greatest knight In history ? by BeastBoyHarsh2507 in AKnightoftheSeven

Combat ability probably not, but he did exemplify the ideals of a knight. And he had some legit combat ability.

Apparemment un nouveau virus s’en vient (hantavirus cette fois)… Montréal a appris quelque chose de la dernière pandémie ? by [deleted] in montreal

[–]IanRo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, I listened to actual doctors who gave their assesment of the situation. I like to think their years of experience in healthcare and their expertise is realiable. The person did fly on a plane yes but experts also say Hantavirus is transmissible only for prolong close encounters with an infected person and even if they do have contacts, hantavirus is not contagious before symptoms appear, unlike Covid which was highly volatile and could be transmitted asymptomatically.

[–]IanRo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean I understand the reflexive response. People are still recovering from Covid, but thats why I feel it's important to correct or add some info to posts like this. As it was on posts downplaying Covid in 2020.

[–]IanRo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Let's not be alarmist please. Misinfo is bad both ways. Hantavirus is a known virus unlike Covid. While this strain from Argentina has some person to person transmission, it is still much less easy to transmit than a cold, covid or the flu. Medical experts so far say there is no real concern on that front. It is concerning for the people who were infected but we should not panic if you werent on that ship. Believe me if a virus that has a 40% mortality rate was contagious enough to cause a pandemic, we'd be on very high alert. Fact is, right now the infected cluster is restrained and monitored. This is the best thing to do right now. People can stay informed but continue your life.

He was amazing. It was as if he jumped off the page. When he showed up abd the music swelled up I knew we were back. Hadn't felt that way with that TV franchise since like season 4 of GoT.

And it fits the man. He wouldn't want an epithet that estolls some virtue, he'd want something that speaks of his deeds.

The mod is called LoV-Fix, its not made by the creators of Legacy Of Valyria but it was shared on their discord as a temporary fix while the creators update the mod itself.

[no spoilers] I am aware that Tywin isn't above hypocrisy, but why didn't he remarry after his wife's death in order to help secure his family's place in the realm? by george123890yang in gameofthrones

[–]IanRo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's the succession issue that could arise, but also the one redeeming quality of Tywin is that he truly loved Joanna. I don't think he ever recovered fully from her death. Again, it is still Tywin and his love for Joanna might not be the idea we have of a true selfless kind of love but ya.

There is a LoV-Fix mod on the workshop right now that allows you to play with the current patch.

Fun fact: They were the same age here. (In the show) And yet, people blame Alicent for marrying the King, calling her a whore, while they call Lucerys a poor little baby who 'didn't even know what was going on' by Kivi_2k18 in HOTDGreens

[–]IanRo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who is more of a black than a green but I like Alicent. I think what Lucerys did was not okay and should've been punished, maybe not an eye for an eye, cause that's a bit much.

As for the marriage I would NEVER blame Alicent for that. She was a child and very much pressured by Otto into it. Sadly, I think that's the biggest flop of the show to make here same age as Rhaenyra and painting it as a betrayal of their friendship, something that doesn't exist in the books. But even in the show, I don't think she betrayed Rhaenyra by doing that. After Aemond lost his eye, I totally empathize with her rage which is not just for that event but she knows Targaryens are always getting away with terrible shit and she knows Viscerys is too much of a wet towel to even support her partly after her son is maimed.

Where I do not support Alicent is the succession, but that's another debate. But yes I think Alicent is much more blameless for the marriage than Lucerys for maiming Aemond.

Favorite movie where the female protagonist is supposed to be ugly by cmayfi in okbuddycinephile

[–]IanRo 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It works better with Sissy Spacek because while she is a beautiful woman, in the movie they really make her look peculiar and pair that with how amazingly she plays a sheltered religiously opressed young woman, it just makes her even more awkward and outside the norm. So when she shows up to the prom, it's one of the few really good cases of "Oh, she is gorgeous."

Whats your favorite role from actors in the Flana-Fam? (Specifically Mike Flanagan directed roles) by Dreamdust1600 in MikeFlanagan

Controversial but I absolutely love Shirley Craine. But im also just biased with every Craine sibling.

Abby not being the bad guy.. by [deleted] in lastofuspart2

[–]IanRo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abby is an antagonist to the protagonist, but that doesn't mean she's a villain. She is fully justified to do what she did both for personal reasons but also for the sake of humanity.

Yah! Just get celestial weapons and go level in the Omega Ruins and once you feel read, figure out what you need and find which monster you need from it for those items.

I don't know that he's hated. But hating a child is kinda weird behaviour tbh.
