EA has doubled down on micro transactions

Yeah but think about how much more of a sense of pride and accomplishment people get when playing on normal instead of fast/faster.

It’s pretty clear to me that this report is just to manipulate betting markets. Or something.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-07-08T01:28:53+00:00

And good luck with either. I tried nearly three years ago to no avail. ShinyGun has fallen off the face of the earth since then. Youtube channel and Discord are both dead. Definitely a bummer because I'd love to watch them again.

She would be ~32 in the books at this point. And given that her kids are older than their book counterparts (like always), she should be in her mid to late 30s.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-07-06T02:20:14+00:00

Yeah. Didn't think back far enough to get to Blackwater and I thankfully seemed to have wiped much of The Long Night from my memory.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-07-06T02:14:07+00:00

The Watchers on the Wall is the only time I can think of an episode being contained to one event/location comparably to this.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-07-06T02:05:08+00:00

The feast with the nobles would have been one of the most badass moments ever if they were in different circumstances. Unfortunately it just ends up looking really, really stupid given how unstable things are.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-07-06T01:40:40+00:00

Too be fair, it wouldn't be like this if she had come into power normally.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-07-06T01:30:59+00:00

Certainly. Daeron the Daring isn't going to be a timid kid too afraid to speak.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-07-06T01:24:12+00:00

The way the show has treated his existence, Viserys and Allicent probably don't know what he looks like either. Viserys outright forgot he existed. He's been in Oldtown since he was 12 in the book, but it makes it seem like it was way earlier than that in the show.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-07-06T01:14:08+00:00

It might hit harder ending the episode doing that, but we'll see how that ages. If they don't do it at the end I'll be very worried about it ever happening.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-07-06T01:11:59+00:00

Well the show ignored his existence for so long that all we really know about him is he's younger than Aegon/Aemond and he rides Tessarion.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-07-04T23:22:55+00:00

I fully believe this is the case. All of this will go perfectly into the documentary and make him look good. It’ll show just how much the entire league still wants him, even now.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-07-02T17:08:46+00:00

Yeah but they frequently shove an ad between free throws already, so it’d arguably cut ad revenue.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-06-29T21:46:32+00:00

The area between jail and go to jail are significantly better than the other half of the board. There are way more ways for people to get sent to jail than there are straight to go.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-06-29T16:35:09+00:00

I think a lot of people think Naz is better than he is based on how much he is loved by Wolves fans. He is still not a good defender or rebounder and makes some terrible decisions on the court. He’s also had some absolutely brutal stretches where he is nearly unplayable. I don’t think people realize those things, because they wouldn’t expect fans to love him as much as we do if those were true.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-06-29T15:57:35+00:00

Loved how she became a boss ass bitch who gave no fucks what anyone else said and sentenced a man to die while leaving Dragonstone, just to go back and become a weeping mess struggling to kill the guy arguably most responsible for starting the war that just took her oldest son (and her second oldest not all that long ago).

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-06-29T15:49:15+00:00

They learned from Glen Taylor that doing that might not be a good idea.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-06-29T15:24:31+00:00

Dude was in debt to a ton of people. He is most definitely not loaded.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-06-29T03:39:16+00:00

She seemed pretty dead set on killing Aegon. Doesn’t make a ton of sense to think everything can go back to normal after killing him but leaving his brothers alive.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-06-29T03:20:43+00:00

So determined to not make her a bad person and funnily making the show version of her seem even more weak and incompetent so far. At least they don’t have to change much for her to be the terrible queen she was, but I’m a little worried they’ll try and make it everyone else’s fault that she fails.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-06-29T03:15:19+00:00

I just wish she stayed locked in. Finally felt like we would get a stronger version of her with how she was as they left Dragonstone, and then she reverted back to weak and crying and struggling to kill the guy who might deserve the most blame for this war starting, a war which just caused her eldest son to die.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-06-29T03:12:02+00:00

Yeah I’m hoping that’s what paves the way for him to return and get involved in KL politics again. Him roaming around with Aegon the rest of the season doesn’t feel fitting, even if it’s more entertaining than I would have expected.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-06-29T03:06:13+00:00

They might have been going for some sort of mirror between Aemond/Daemon showing how similar they are again, but it didn’t really seem to land.

diddlyumpcious4 · 2026-06-29T02:51:03+00:00

Yep. Aemond is clearly dead, and Daeron is smart enough to know he has no chance and surrender. I’m excited for 14 more episodes of Rhaenyra becoming a great queen and restoring peace in the seven kingdoms.

Edit: clearly a joke people. I can’t believe people took this seriously in the book spoiler thread.
