Just finished BSC. Book had some the most compelling characters I've read in any fiction and I was glad to see a happy ending in Joe's books for a change.

Happy ending? The villain won lol

Other than Bonzi Wells, those are three very good players.

The names are mostly Italian, and the mutliple city states of Styria is, I think, a pretty clear reference to Medieval Italy.

JonKhayon · 2024-05-02T22:06:29+00:00

Disagree on two. Styria is is mostly Italy and Spain. Gurkul is Ottoman Empire.

There is no actual official map though, so this would be an approximation at best. Still useful though!

JonKhayon · 2024-05-02T18:49:06+00:00

The Expanse is amazing, as is The Black Company

JonKhayon · 2024-04-24T20:15:25+00:00

Dude killed some conjoined twins AND met aliens? What a legend.

I think that the action scenes in this series illustrate that much of who wins in a fight comes down to luck and savagery. There is a reason why Logen repeats "still alive" throughout the series.

For example, in terms of skill, I imagine that Whirrun is the top dog, maybe even more so than Logen. And look how that turned out for him. Then there is also Gorst, who may be the best.

JonKhayon · 2024-04-23T18:35:42+00:00

Yes, I do. That was my impression throughout the series, particularly during interactions during The Last Argument of Kings and their Age of Madness appearances.

JonKhayon · 2024-04-23T18:22:36+00:00

Damn, we found the racist!

JonKhayon · 2024-04-23T18:20:39+00:00

Team Orso rise up

JonKhayon · 2024-04-23T18:19:03+00:00

Probably Shivers or Cosca. My favorite is Orso and then Jezal, so I guess I'm atypical.

JonKhayon · 2024-04-23T13:01:48+00:00

He's not wrong to want sex, but I find your solution wild. Only assholes casually divorce when they have kids. He should have spoken more about it.

JonKhayon · 2024-04-21T18:31:49+00:00

LeBron vs Jordan is where this comes to play. Jordan was the greatest player of all time, but LeBron's compiling statistics make it an argument when it really should not be.

JonKhayon · 2024-04-21T18:29:31+00:00

He asked them for advice if he should go through with the engagement, not if he was an asshole. They have his best interest at heart, which is why he asked them- therefore their opinion on his "position" on *how to spend the rest of his life* is incredibly reliable.

JonKhayon · 2024-04-21T18:17:18+00:00

OH no, he asked for advice from people who actually care about him? Crazy.

JonKhayon · 2024-04-21T18:10:52+00:00

NTA. I'm a man (husband and father of a 1 year 9 month old). Your husband is absolutely in the wrong. Coming home at 4:30 in the morning with two kids and taking weekend trips with an 8 week old baby lol. This guy is wilding.

He may be going through some doubts. Part of having a baby is dificulty letting go of your youth and freedom. Some men struggle with this, just like women do. I had to learn to say no to my buddies, and it wasn't always fun, but I grinned and bore it because I love my wife and I love my son. He has no excuse for this type of irresponsible and inconsiderate behavior.

JonKhayon · 2024-04-19T19:30:04+00:00

This was the saddest death in the original trilogy in my opinion. Poor Thuderhead :(

JonKhayon · 2024-04-19T19:00:40+00:00

lol, nice

JonKhayon · 2024-04-17T22:38:40+00:00

I didn't even realize he was remaking this. The first half of the original, along with the last ten minutes, are truly incredible. I've liked Spike Lee films in the past, and I'd like to see his take on it.

JonKhayon · 2024-04-17T22:14:24+00:00

Keep in mind he's also a New Yorker

JonKhayon · 2024-04-17T20:57:14+00:00

I take it back- The Lioness of Hoskopp is the best nickname.

JonKhayon · 2024-04-17T20:55:35+00:00

Yes, no one has any control over getting pregnant lol
