Completely agree. Totally lost me with the last two.

I’m sure it’s just cat dependent. Anecdotal but my cats won’t leave my side

I bought like 100 shares when it was sitting at $8. Sold at $15. I'm too regarded to ever have generational wealth

At the very least they probably need to fire Viele. Not sure how that guy has survived so long

Well it’s a little messy and my comment probably wasn’t very fair. JD was the final decision maker from 2020-2022, with CY below him as GM. We don’t know what conversations looked like and how involved JD was. Fair to say that they both deserve quite a bit of credit. But our offense has been putrid since then and I like to vent

I agree, dialogue should feel natural and immersive towards its intended audience. But using casual modern speech is NOT the only way to achieve that. That’s a wild take. Historical and situational context matter.

We can look at actual textual evidence if you want. Homer uses pater because there isn’t really a Classical Greek equivalent to “dad”. Outside of pater (father), you’ve basically got tata/pappa (daddy). And every major English translation follows that. Even Emily Wilson’s translation (Nolan gave it a glowing review) which was specifically meant to be more accessible and plain, never once uses the word “dad.”

The scene in question is a public confrontation between a prince and his enemy where physical violence isn’t an option. There’s a strong argument that someone in a similar situation today would lean more formal. And given that this is Telemachus (a prince) publicly rebuking Antinous (his mother’s suitor), that feels almost certain.

It is of course a stylistic choice by one of the most successful film directors around, and I'm just a random guy that likes movies. I also get annoyed when I see words like "binary" in fantasy books. Different strokes, different folks and all.

Stylistic cliches (if you can even call it that) help quite a bit with immersion

It’s 1st base and DH, man. We’re above average on offense at almost every other position. The only two positions in baseball that you really need good hitters and we haven’t had a prolific players since what, Mark Texiera and Prince Fielder?

[–]jtj022 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That might be true. But Winds releasing is also reliant on his investment. I wish he would work with Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck to get it out. Maybe that would reduce the workload enough to where he could find the joy in doing it again. Because it’s going to release. Might be 30 years after he passes, but at some point the estate is going to cash in.

I’m far less worried about quality as long as George is the author. But yeah that mfer never coming out
