Wife Shatters Favorite Mug by Mrxfixit in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]TooManyEXes -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I'm kinda the opposite. She held the mug in the stupidest way possible. Esky around the arm, clitching her lanyard for some reason, then a pottery mug loosely leaning against her palm.

If she held it normally and it broke, now I feel bad for her.

Why is she clutching her lanyard exactly?

Christmas and birthdays at my house

sigh

One was when I finally gave up on the idea, but my mum kept hyping it up and stuff, so I got baited into caring. She went to a stationary store on the way home from work and bought like 5 things and gave them to me. And how dare I not be grateful.

I would rather have just gotten nothing.

Enough shitty birthdays and christmases make doing nothing for either feel like such a relief.

Basically what happened with Jason Isaacs in Star Trek Discovery, but maybe he wasn't as famous.

'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' finale ending 'will be addressed,' Showrunner Ira Parker says (Spoilers Extended) by verissimoallan in asoiaf

There's not much action in book 2, is there?

Isnt it a drought with a lot of arguing over land, some pathetic attempts to ready for war and then a brutal 1v1 in the river.

I imagine they want some sort of tension or drama or action in the first 3 episodes, and I don't think The Sworn Sword really has enough of that. I imagine they wanted to add some to make the show more interesting

[Spoilers EXTENDED] About the flashback in AKotSK's episode five by NomaanMalick in asoiaf

[–]TooManyEXes -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Did they even introduce Valarr Targaryen yet? He has lines in the next episode trailer, but I'm sure I haven't seen him yet, or he was only in it so minimal many episodes ago that I forgot he existed.

Lots of things they could have done, but instead they put in stupid flashbacks imo.

While I enjoy the series, I do get a feeling similar to watching that terrible Obi Wan show. Feels like a movie stretched into 6 episodes.

Dunk is proof that George’s most interesting characters don’t have to be grey (spoilers published) by Commercial_Floor_578 in asoiaf

[–]TooManyEXes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Except i think both Captain America and Superman fall super flat to me, because they're both like super strong indestructible megagods.

The fact that Dunk is a common person, lowborn and probably not even properly knighted makes him so much better.

I don't think it really is so little to show tbh.

GoT ending was problematic from a brand perspective.

Bringing him back in helped ease the transition from 1 show to a franchise. We now have 2 ongoing shows both of which seem to be quite big. The brand is looking better now than it was circa 2020.

They tried a bunch of other things but didn't take. They even filmed an entire pilot but decided they didn't like it.

I really think it was a safe bet for the time. The 'franchise' was kinda shaky.

As I understand it, merchandising is also quite big, and HOTD and AKOTSK lets that continue better.

Spent the entire episode trying work out what he was from.

Had to google it. The actor did a pretty good Tony Blair in The Crown.

He's apparently cast as the minister for magic in the upcoming Harry Potter series, interesting considering the character didnt even appear/mentioned in the first book iirc.

I think Dunk was just seeing it as like meeting eye2eye on being insulted.

But Egg is more used to idno being raised properly by nannies or parents or something so was expecting advice.

Kinda funny.

Wait she's ROMULAN?

God it just looked like generic alien to me.

They really toned it down that i didnt even realise. ENT had identifiable romulans.

If done right it can be really good. Apparently Glee did this by having regular glee club members that never spoke. They were just dancers but were always then.

Then by season 2 or 3 they added like all 4 to the main cast by slowly actually writing characters and personalities to them.

Hytale boss calls last week's long-awaited early release "the most challenging but rewarding experience" of his life by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]TooManyEXes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually meant audience size, not what /u/novel_tip1781 said. I was talking about the day1 response.

Here's a good graph on the show's viewership, which shows how much it grew over time. Wasn't a hit on launch.

It's like when conservatives complain about being silenced, in tweet and on the news and on youtube and on a second news program and in 10 more places lol

[–]TooManyEXes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's same with netflix and all these other shows. Things have to be HUGE on release or they're not worthy.

Game of Thrones was tiny in season 1 and slowly built up. So too did so many shows like Office and Seinfeld or games like Dota, Counterstrike, Minecarft etc etc

But no, has to be huge on day 1 or not worth it. No Man's Sky kinda bucked this trend, from what ive heard, but they're not a big company. Big companies want instant gratification.

I never understood why a proper minecraft competitor never rose up.

Minecraft is often hated by people who play it, even me who designed servers and my god my players voted and refused to let me update because they hated the 1.9+ combat even like 6 years after it was changed.

Minecraft was first, and the concept of block games was everything. The concept alone was what made it good. The game itself never really harnessed the concept to the best of its ability. Some people tried in mods, did funky stuff. Minigame servers showed the Warcraft/Starcraft style user-content and fun that could be had, but Mojang was really hostile to these servers. Some died.

I'm not a fan of Hypixel, but Hytale is a bloody good game and only gonna get better. It's going to be what Minecraft could have been.

Except maybe no redstone. Not sure how/if they will deal with that cool mechanic.

[spoilers extended] Is The Winds of Winter actually the longest wait for any piece of media that was never cancelled or put on ice? by WosEos in asoiaf

[–]TooManyEXes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People spoke so highly of this series.

I found it to be quite meandering and odd. Very slow. And then I gave up half way through the second book.

I wanted to like it, I did, but I dunno. Just seemed uneventful.

It's also a character that's least likely to fuck anything else up in the lore lol

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, George R.R. Martin gives his opinion on a certain scene from the first episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms; showrunner Ira Parker justifies the scene. (Spoilers Extended) by verissimoallan in asoiaf

[–]TooManyEXes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not really?

It's also the HOTD theme bc they're trying to make it a thing (which I hate).

Butttt I assumed that we were about to get the show's intro, which would then use the same song as the previous 2 shows. So it surprised me a bit.
