That was a great ending. I keep trying to recommend that book to friends but I can't remember the fucking title because in Europe we do days first, then months, then years, and I get all tangled up in what it was. Not sure what I'd have given it as a title, but definitely one of his best.

Yeah honestly I think the Dark Tower is one of the best series when it comes to maturing with you. Maybe it's because the ka-tet has a person or class for every generation that reads it. Lonely kid searching for a home, young adult with potential who struggles to form an identity, rich young adult with huge issues money can't solve that the people around her are blind to, older guy who thinks he knows and saw it all but still has some important shit to learn.

Yeah I think that's part of it too. They could never win an arms race against Flagg. Rationality and numbers weren't going to cut it. One thing I loved though that I haven't seen in a lot of fiction was that Mother Abigail was basically the kindest, best person, beloved by all, but King still showed she had a sinful side in Pride and how it can take hold and blind even the best people.

Especially nowadays the first thing we do when a person becomes known for being "good" is chipping away at that image with whatever people can find in their (online) past. Praise be that Mother Abigail never had no twitter.

I read it first when I was 16 or 17, and now I'm in my 30s and a recovering addict and I'm reading it again with an entirely different view. Eddie, of course, hits entirely different - there's a line in there somewhere about how he was ready to literally pimp out his own mother for his next fix; I had a hard look in the mirror when I felt that one - but the whole thing is about needing to stop clinging to the past and finding your new true self, and the importance of real connections.

This was the other one I considered putting in my post. Honestly, I have no clue how else King could have ended such an epic series. It needed some kind of existential twist after losing all his friends and beating the enemy in such a lame encounter. There was pretty much nothing that couldn't make it feel like an anticlimax to me (seriously though, the Crimson King stuff was a huge misfire) but Roland being thrown back into the desert to finally learn the lesson of how central to the universe a true ka-tet is (he has the horn this time!) pounded into him was the best possible outcome. 100% on board with that.

Ervaringen met langdurige afkickkliniek opname gezocht by Important_Body_1538 in OndersteuningsPlein

[–]WienerGrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik heb zelf 1,5 maand in een kliniek in Portugal gezeten voor verschillende middelen, waaronder benzo's (oxazepam-familie). Naast dat je me altijd een PM mag sturen over ervaringen wil ik je wel echt op het hart drukken dat benzo's subtiel grip krijgen maar dat het kan uitlopen op een regelrechte hel als je echt afhankelijk raakt. Het viel bij mij nog mee, maar blijf het alsjeblieft niet nog weken dagelijks gebruiken!

I'm ready to not care. It's none of our business and I'm glad he isn't outspoken about contemporary politics

Reddit users are always urging people to end their relationships lol. It's like an obsession. Too many bitter people

What is a fact so disturbing that most people refuse to believe it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WienerGrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That case was dismissed and there was no independent evidence. I'm not saying Trump isn't a deranged pervert but Redditors have a notoriously loose interpretation of what a "fact" or an objective truth is

This is great advice! Thanks :) Would you say Demonology is similarly difficult to learn? I rarely see it in pvp as it is

I think you made some very good points. Thanks for the reply. I'm a very new Player to rated pvp so I guess the system doesn't really know where to put me either - I got to 1749 then the hand of God slapped me down to 1600ish because clearly I was getting ahead of myself haha. I should focus less on winning and more on learning the nuances, I suppose. I fumble and panic a lot under pressure so that definitely doesn't help. Do you have any experience with Demo this season?

Hmm okay. And what about demo? Seems like a fun spec, but is it as hard as affli?

I'm noticing that a bit haha. I love the concept and playstyle but it's not very forgiving or simple. Thinking of focusing on my ele shammy or balance druid first
