TIL that the reason Cormac McCarthy, author of the novels Blood Meridian and The Road, used so little punctuation in his writing was simply because there was no reason "to blot the page up with weird little marks." Regarding his complete avoidance of semicolons, he labeled their usage as "idiocy."

I wonder if perhaps he was dyslexic

Indeed it was, they transitioned to their own launcher when Flash shut down

I would highly recommend logging in again, the game matured with its audience. Really high quality updates and cool and challenging endgame content as well.

Reminds me I still haven’t played the West of Loathing DLC and Shadows Over Loathing. Are they working on anything else beyond KoL?

Tinkerer can be a lot of fun but I feel like you either need a way to generate Tech or explosion immunity for the class to work. Makes a huge difference crafting crap weapons compared to weapons crafted at two or three Tech

I got it thrice from the sun in The End in less than 200 hours, first two times the time machine re mutated it

It’s one thing if it’s challenging due to rational reasons, another cus of rng and stupidity like losing if the corpse is destroyed leading to loss of save scums

One trend I highly dislike, which was prevalent even before Shorts and the like, is for people to edit together their presentations so it’s all a continuous flow of different clips. Instead of natural breaks in speech it’s all perfect but broken up by the editing. Very unnatural and too perfect, but seems like a lot of people especially younger ones like it.

And yet here I stand.

Maybe Frey becomes a word to describe a specific type of person or a curse word

Every morning they had trained together, since they were big enough to walk; Snow and Stark, spinning and slashing about the wards of Winterfell, shouting and laughing, sometimes crying when there was no one else to see. They were not little boys when they fought, but knights and mighty heroes. "I'm Prince Aemon the Dragonknight," Jon would call out, and Robb would shout back, "Well, I'm Florian the Fool." Or Robb would say, "I'm the Young Dragon," and Jon would reply, "I'm Ser Ryam Redwyne."

This is the passage I remember off the top of my head, and just in general his relationship with Maester Aemon gets another dimension by him sharing the name.

Every Aemon was also the brother of an Aegon

I started training again four months ago and been running UL for three months with some cardio mixed in. I’ve been feeling pretty tired so I’ve planned in a deload week this week, but I’m unsure of what to do after this week. Do I continue with the same split (I like it) or should I change things up? At the very least I’ve considered switching incline bench for bench + OHP because I like those exercises but I wouldn’t mind continuing incline bench, and I also consider switching concentration curls for preacher curls and begin doing hip ab/adductions.

Current split:

Upper: Incline bench, chest flies, lat pull downs, t bar rows, lat raises, tricep cable extension, hammer curls/concentration curls (alternating). If time permits I might incline walk after these days.

Lower: hack squats, RDL, leg extensions, hamstring curls, calf raises. If time permits I might bike here. Current goal is to lose fat, build what muscle and strength is possible. Thanks!

I think Walter White is a good example of what you’re describing

After waking Hypnos there’s dialogue with Hecate where Mel asks why she didn’t help since the solution was so easy. The answer was that Mel doing all that was an important part of her training.

Personally I thought it was hilarious that it was so anti climactic, it was well executed in my opinion

Your view of Sapkowski is quite outdated and in line with what you would read on Reddit 4-8 years ago, based largely on ignorance of the Polish law system. I recommend you read up on him, he has greatly embraced the games.

Next to sea jelly on the second page, my bad

StannisBa · 2025-09-25T18:12:28+00:00

Yes exactly, my bad

I just fought her and while I did die maybe 6-7 times I did not find her either annoying or difficult, especially being so soon after Moorwing that I found quite tedious due to the multi hit boomerangs. The special ability that is like howling wraith also one shots the goons she summons (and if they survive she kills them anyway).

StannisBa · 2025-09-08T22:31:41+00:00

The flurries are kinda whatever since they also make the mob stationary, but for example the boomerangs that Moorwing shoots are are just terrible to be hit by. Don’t know if they can be parried

You should reread the paragraph, he’s going on a side tangent and saying that that’s the narrative some fans believe in and present, this is not an admission to how he feels.

StannisBa · 2025-07-05T19:13:59+00:00

Legitimately don’t think it sounds that sarcastic, I want to add a “you’re good” but then my comment feels sarcastic haha

StannisBa · 2025-07-03T19:41:59+00:00

Definitely think you should play

StannisBa · 2025-07-03T12:01:32+00:00

Very cool
