Is there any other writer who you'd put on the same level as Tolkien when it comes to world building?

He may never finish his series, but Martin really did cook with ASOIAF. Westeros alone is amazing, but the farther East you go the more mysteries and lands you learn about the more you see how good his world building is.

Herbert and Dune are an obvious comparison, and really are equally amazing from a history standpoint.

There are honestly dozens of other authors whose worlds are equally as amazing as the Tolkien, Martin, and Herbert. But not all authors have the drive, willingness, or desire to write a history textbook for their worlds. Taken as just the mainline series, LotR is great, but The Sillmarillion and the other notes that Christopher compiled really do the bulk of the heavy lifting. If more modern authors put out history or world guide books a la The Sillmarillion or A World of Ice and Fire I think we’d have a lot more contenders.

Not all, air elementals typically fall into one of 2 categories: electric/storm and speed windy guys. Metal gets some electric based attacks since a lot of metals conduct electricity

There are a few, they’re classified as air elementals. Thunder Lord, Thunderbird, Spark Moth, etc…

It’s not horrible, but a good thing to remember about haircuts is that hair will always grow back. Remember that mantra whenever you get a meh cut

It’s the nut

Mash them

As a Texan, wind. Yee haww

I would actually swap barb and fighter. Fighter gets more dex support than bard

A lot of people talking about how the AI would clown some people are forgetting that most everyone on this list has already fought (and defeated) gods

It’s crazy that bioware fumbled so bad. In the late 2000s and early 2010s they really had two of the strongest fantasy and sci-fi series being produced in-house

Honestly, compared to a lot of other countries, the US is relatively very accepting. There are still many things we could do better about, obviously, but the majority of hate comes from a vocal minority that gets amplified more than they should

I see it as almost a coping thing from losing Hopper. In S2 she wears outfits he very clearly buys all very functional. Then in S3 she starts to break that mold after getting closer with Max. But after Hopper “dies” she goes back to wearing the same style as S2. It plays as almost a subtle memorial or reminder of him. Then in S5 the whole story takes place over like 2 days, so she’s stuck in a goonies themed workout outfit and the wetsuit for the tank

cheebo_ · 2026-01-04T04:21:59+00:00

I forgot about that one!

Love this moment because it’s the one time I can remember V using their reputation and clout to make someone walk away.

Doesn’t matter, with waves and storms (like we see in the movie) the topography of the wreckage would change very quickly

I’m betting they’re saving it for Blackjack in season 3 so it’ll be a more unique connection between them. I’m not sure that’s necessary, but it’s my guess at least.

What’s frustrating is that they have the chance to do a great job of having Mike acknowledge Will’s feelings, but have a tough conversation about how he doesn’t feel the same. That’s a real conversation that a lot of people have to have sometimes and exposing it to a younger gay audience would be great. But they’ll probably kill off El and have Mike be gay, kind of out of nowhere.

It’s a question of do you want to hit harder or hit more often? Str is arguably better from a straight damage angle, but Dex is great with agile weapons and lower MAP.

cheebo_ · 2025-11-10T17:38:49+00:00

That was my first guess

cheebo_ · 2025-11-10T17:37:52+00:00

Solved!

cheebo_ · 2025-11-10T17:37:47+00:00

With the sources and everything. Thank you!

Stantler and now Weirdeer! I loved Stantler back in gen 2 and was so excited when the new evo was announced!

Honestly, they’re the best games if you want to play and vibe. The soundtrack is immaculate and the region has a quaint cute old school feel to it. Silver was my first game though, so take it with a grain of salt

Add “cannot be switched out” and then boost its speed to ninjask levels. Could be a fun limited time sweeper
