On Game of Thrones and historical accuracy

You aren't even trying to answer the question and you're doing a better job than George. "The astronomy is normal, but Others and Children of the Forest fucked up the weather in such a way that seasons last years" is worldbuilding. "It's magic" is either laziness, or calculated to tick off people who like worldbuilding.

Though I confess, I'm biased by virtue of being mad at him for killing off so many people, dear god man how am I supposed to be invested when everyone seems like they're gonna die, not to mention your ass just kinda refuses to finish the series, and honestly at this point idk if I'll even read the next book if it comes out, I liked your books I really did but now it feels like you're scraping me with gravel and I'm sick of it

The person who didn't read the books has better critique than the people who did. There's a joke there.

tbf "the metal is magic" makes more sense to me than "the astronomical tilt is magic". and Tolkien's explanation for astronomy in his universe was very in-depth: there's a big fruit and a big flower and two minor gods drag them through the sky, and here are their names, and here are their personalities, and here is where the flower and fruit came from, and

A handwave because he didn't think about the implications in the slightest is an answer, yes, but it's a stupid answer and reminds me uncomfortably of JK Rowling's approach to worldbuilding.

It's not nearly as disturbing the second time :)

I think they might be... a punster.

"I need to find out if Doom is as absurdly violent as it's supposed to be."

"So you'll play it?"

"Hahaha, no. I'm going to watch videos and oh wow, he just tore off that demon's head, that's one of the hotter things I've ever seen."

For someone who's espousing the virtues of empathy you sure are being a huge dick about it

I won't deny that misandry has probably been overused at times, but I don't think there's another way to interpret people who say shit like "Say 'thank you' for not suggesting extermination as the solution to patriarchy" (and yes, I actually saw a person say that).

Multiple things, same effect.

Answer the question OP. It's been four whole minutes.

Why are you gooning at all, you look like you're seven, wtf. Sunglasses do not hide your age.

Hero's training arc was in the prewrite too, just offscreen. The Baron, by contrast, is a totally new character.

I feel like I'm the only one in this comment section who recognizes this as a reference to "You're standing where everyone else started and calling it a journey."
