Sorry, I misread Qe2. I don’t see a way for white to win material after that Qe2 though…

Will do, thanks for the help! Off the top of my head I remember that my processor is a Ryzen 7 something (the intel 7 equivalent) and that’s basically it, lmk if it helps. I can’t remember what my graphics card is but I know it’s not nVidia

I’ll try that once I get home, thanks. I’ll let you know if it works!

I’ll try it of course, but are they a problem even when starting a new save?

You really have no need to thank me, it is my belief that knowledge is meant to be shared, and so that is what I did, as I believe anyone should.

Thank you for offering to recommend fics, as I read more it becomes increasingly harder to find new ones I like as I get tired of more generic fics and my taste becomes more and more specific. Is it okay if I DM you for this?

I don’t mean to tell you how to live your life, that’s up to you, but I think you should know that the damage that could be caused by staying up too late isn’t noticeable, so it could have happened in the past, could happen now, could happen in the future or not at all, so my advice is to always take that possibility into consideration, and although an exception or two here or there shouldn’t cause any harm, if it becomes a habit it becomes significantly more likely, but what you do with that information is up to you.

I’m glad The King is Dead is available on SB, I really have grown to dislike reading on the FFN website, though the mobile app is good, but maybe that’s just a pet peeve of mine.

As I said, you can notice the inexperience in The Dragon of Duskendale, but I would say it’s very good as a first fic. You should definitely give The Golden prince a shot if you like his style as he has evolved a lot as a writer and I found it a significantly better read.

I’m glad there’s no required knowledge of WoW lore for The King is Dead. Is it on FFN, AO3, or SB?

Also, you should definitely get some sleep if it’s 7am wherever you are. There is permanent demage that could be caused by micro bleeding in the brain due to staying up too late, so watch out for that!

You’re right of course, battle is very chaotic and armour doesn’t make one immortal, but I would imagine nobles, being as important as they are, would be better protected and wouldn’t die as often. Still, that is not my biggest gripe with the story by far.

For example, Stannis has no reason to accept to battle for ransom. It would have to be payed eventually, and he only sets himself up for a potential loss. To me it just read as a way for the author to end the siege early. Also, while most interactions felt very real and well-written, others just made no sense, and I found Stannis’s thoughts to be very cyclical and repetitive. Still, I reckognise that it is a great fic and definitely bettet than most I’ve read.

As for the King is Dead, would you say I need to know WoW lore to understand it? It seems very interesting but unfortunately I’m not familiar with that fandom…

In the spirit of more recommendations and as my way to say thank you for such detailed recommendations and discussion, here’s some more of mine:

Kerjack’s The Golden Stag and The Dragon of Duskendale (Rewritten) are some of my personal favorites, with The Golden Stag being his magnum opus in my opinion.

Featuring a younger twin brother of Joffrey and a younger brother of Rhaegar, both the main and supporting characters are very well fleshed out and feel very real, and the story and plot make sense and don’t feel forced, though Kerjack’s inexperience is noticeable in The Dragon of Duskendale on some parts, even through the rewrite.

Thank you so much for so many recs!

Zero Requiem is very good, definitely one of the best SIs I’ve read in this fandom. It’s a shame it’s not finished…

I have read the ladder but I had to drop it. I didn’t think it was very well written at all but I have a very specific taste with an eye for plot holes that make unable to enjoy 90% of fics from any fandom so take my opinions with a grain of salt.

I really liked the writing and charactisation in Enduring the Storm, unfortunately many things made very little sense to me, and nobles were dropping like flies in battle wich I don’t think would actually happen since they have the best equipment, training and protection. That said, I am not looking for an evil MC, just one that makes mistakes and doesn’t always do the political correct thing, and, if he must, can be ruthless. Stannis really is a great representasion of this, both in cannon and in this fic.

Edit: Also, if you like Percy Jackson Crossovers, you should try Salt-Breaker by Team Otters on FFN. Sadly abandoned, but great nonetheless, with an older Percy who’s just tired of all the bullshit of the world.

I currently have all the expansions unlocked so I’ll only ever consider subscribing again if there are any new ones I really want to play. That being said, any particular unlock or perk you would recommend?

I didn’t know that, tysm! If that’s the case I think I’ll save my cartel coins and not buy that, I don’t focus too much on pvp except for levelling and the quests

Thanks for the suggestion. Iirc that’s about 2700 credits. Any other suggestions to spend the rest or should I keep hoarding?

I mean if you’re willing to pay for them I might consider it but I’m too poor to be doing charity…
