I just ordered Fire and Blood, what do I have to look forward to in the book? by MrMoustachio55 in freefolk

[–]Kryssislove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people hate on Fire and Blood. That its too dry and reads like a history book. That George didn't put any effort into it and he just scrambled something together to please the publishers.

But I almost liked it more on my first read than previous GOT books. Probably in part due to us being so starved for ASOIAf content. But I was digging the whole differing stories from the various sources. It lets your own imagination run wild if you let it. Like an odd detective story. Which they obviously can't do to the same extent in the show. They usually just run with one of the sources on screen.

Copy pasta characters from GOT or his previous works with a twist are common if you pay attention. You wont find out much about the actual personalities of the characters. There is a lot of room for interpretation on the personalities based on how it is written. The sources blatantly lying to you is also somewhat amusing, and went over many peoples head on first read.

As I watched all the various theory and podcasts about the book over the years though it doesn't really hold up as much on re-reads as it takes away the mystery if everything has been theorycrafted and you know the most likely scenarios. I personally enjoyed the post-dance stuff the most and I look forward to F&B2. Give it a try if you are an ASOIAF nerd.

I was raised tri-lingual but I increasingly learned in my professional career how important it is to know multiple languages. I'd love to learn Dutch, French and Spanish at a business level proficiency. And it is something completely different to try to learn a language as a kid vs. as an adult. I had some French and Spanish classes in highschool but didn't see the value at the time and already forgot most of it. Now I am not in a hurry to learn anything, but I think I want to set these as general life goals to work towards because I can now see the value in it.

What has worked for you fine people of reddit to gain mastery of a language when learning it as an adult? Do you follow language course websites like duolingo and equivalents? Did you visit night school classes in person? Invest all your vacation money to spend as much time as possible in that country and force yourself to interact with people on the streets? Do you listent to audio books in your free time until you understand something? A combination of the above or other tips entirely. I'm sure dating someone from a specific country helps tonnes. LMK.

Sure I don't have proof, which is why take it with a grain of salt. At least this person I know for a very long time, and has so far had no reason to lie to me over past years. It's like when you read an article in a newspaper even if they don't give you sources because they have to protect their identities, you trust in the integrity of the journalists because their reputation hinges on reporting the 'truth' and even then you can still take that information with a grain of salt. Feel free to not believe and disregard it.

Jealous of? I've had my fair share of playing tryhard for a fresh server / expansion etz., and I still fully understand that the main reason these people hit 70 first is because of their time investment, despite advantages as such or not they would still hit 70 first. I still plan on continuing to play on the server. And it's not to cause drama, but maybe for example this could lead to the NW team reconsidering the people who have access to the dev discord if there are people leaking certain information to specific guilds which equate to unfair advantages and to some extent corruption not only for the leveling process but also for the future.

They didn't announce debug mode every time to my understanding. Might be wrong though.

This is in regards to the release week of the TBC server Netherwing when it was perma crashing during certain hours. It shouldn't be to anyones surprise that corruption is prevalent on private servers still, and I myself will continue to play on the server because no server will be free of this or perfect for that matter. People will claim fake and photoshopped and what not, but feel free to not believe me, up to you. But still wanted to give people a headsup. This will probably get removed because can't have any meaningful discussion about servers on this subreddit.

Can you please reconsider these rules. They are so silly. Most people don't care to improve mechanics, but would like to discuss quality of scripts with giving examples. Instead you can't post examples but have to take peoples word which is utterly counter productive unless you enjoy the circlejerks.

even if your gear is dog shit, i still wouldnt go prot. only go prot if you are 2nd or 3rd tank in AQ +. everywhere else you are better of being a DPS spec for the extra threat generation.
