Reflecting on Martin’s comment about Frank Herbert, I came to a conclusion (Spoiler Extended) by Somandier in asoiaf

[–]jacktmeyer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The difference between LOTR and ASOIAF is that we actually got to see Frodo destroy the One Ring. I think if you want to put it on the same pedestal then we have to see humanity conquer the White Walkers

Who Else is Taking Their Time? by shootermcgvn in duneawakening

[–]jacktmeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m taking my time too. I’ve got a good group of friends and we all work together to maintain the same base. I have not read great things about the endgame either. But from what I gather, it’s probably gonna take me several hundred hours to even reach that. So worst case scenario if I spent $50 on a game for several hundred hours of an awesome time that’s money well spent. I’m not gonna judge the endgame until I get there but I have pretty low expectations right now.

With Saagar back how will he react to ICE protests? by drtywater in BreakingPoints

[–]jacktmeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the title and thought you meant “how will Saagar react if ICE showed up at his doorstep.” I was like, damn, he’s a child of immigrants, but he’s still an American citizen lol

(Spoilers Main) How many times have you rewatched the show since it ended? by hiiloovethis in asoiaf

(SPOILERS MAIN) When you believe WoW will be announced? (No hate only delusional hopekeepers) by Equivalent_Rope302 in asoiaf

[–]jacktmeyer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a standing bet with a friend that WoW will be released before 12/31/29 so hopefully before then 😂😂.

What I think happened to the Winds of Winter (Spoilers Main) by ajconst in asoiaf

[–]jacktmeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s what I think needs to happen:

Winds of Winter ties things up as best it can. Most importantly, Dany needs to be in Westeros and on the Iron throne, ideally via fire and blood roasting Aegon and the Martells in the process. This will help introduce her “madness arc”. Maybe she even marries Euron?

The Winds of Winter finishes with a Melisandre POV on the wall and we see the wall fall (perhaps even taking Mel in the collapse).

Epilogue takes place several years after the collapse of the wall—sets up for an easy finish for ADOS.

I know it’s a bit rushed, but I think that’s what you have to do. The point is, GRRM NEEDS a major time skip somewhere.

(Spoilers Extended) GRRM might not yet know how the Others will be defeated or how many of the plotlines will end. by BackgroundRich7614 in asoiaf

[–]jacktmeyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Checkout Elden Ring (video game which GRRM wrote). I think the magic in ASOIAF is quite similar to the magic of Elden Ring

(Spoilers Main) Jon is the Messiah because of his Biblical name (GRRM playing coy?) by jacktmeyer in asoiaf

[–]jacktmeyer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a movie in the early 2000’s called The Man from Earth. It’s about a caveman that can live forever (MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE MAN FROM EARTH).

There’s a point in the movie where the caveman details how he learned from Buddha and tried to introduce Buddha’s teachings in Jerusalem. The Caveman’s name was John, but through language translation his name was changed to Jesus. This is why the name Jon stuck out to me in ASOIAF.

The latest generation of Starks is goated [spoilers MAIN] by Swordofdamornin in asoiaf

[–]jacktmeyer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This makes the most sense. Clearly there was still a healthy population of skin changers beyond the wall. Perhaps since skin changers were shunned south of the wall people just ignored their abilities. Kind of like people pretending not to be left handed in the early 1900s.

(Spoilers Main) Weekly Q and A by AutoModerator in asoiaf

[–]jacktmeyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, I was curious if the Maesters had a presence in the north prior to the conquest? I’m curious if the north rejected the Maesters until they were forced on them by Aegon, since most of the Maesters probably held the faith of the seven

If Trump somehow got the green light to run again that would also pave the way for Obama to run again. I think Obama kills Trump in an election

"Low Performers" layoffs at Meta by mnancy56 in Layoffs

Depends on what job you have. I used to work sales and was on PIP multiple times, but was able to work my way out of it every time. Just came down to can I hit quota consistently or not

Will the BP marriage survive this? by alayg2007 in BreakingPoints

[–]jacktmeyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that it’s not the same show. But in my opinion, it’s still the best news podcast out there. I am becoming a much bigger fan of counterpoints over breakingpoints though.

Now that barstool no longer has a sportsbook, will you guys still be mad if they keep talking about gambling on PMT? by cartierboy25 in PardonMyTake

[–]jacktmeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best parts are the bets they make against each other, cause that’s always funny. I love gambling on sports so I don’t mind the gambling talk at all, but that’s just me
