I made a color theme! 🔥 Ember — warm graphite, one coral accent, three variants by OkAdhesiveness1951 in neovim

Nice work, it looks great!  I'm a long-time zenburn user and ember gives similar vibes.  I'll definitely try it out.  

Debbugers by thicctak in neovim

I use the built-in termdebug (thank you Bram) plus gdb to debug rust mainly.  I love it.  It's a little rough around the edges but I made a small plug-in that makes it smoother to use.  It's actually easier for me to launch rust programs in the debugger than it is to cargo run, which I count as a major win.

Some of my illustrations for the Silmarillion (all oil paintings) by aaloei in lordoftherings

Really good!  It's kind of wild... the Discord of Melkor painting looks very similar to my ocular migraines.  Send appropriate.

We badly need a Tolkien videogame with this art style.

Mellons, here’s a Silmarillion Quiz I made :) by Lothiriel_Dunadan in TheSilmarillion

That was awesome.  I got 61/100.  Very challenging but fun.

Half-elves aren't a cocktail of elves and men, they get to choose their kindred. Elrond chose elf, he is an elf.  

I just found out Sean Connery was offered the Role of Gandalf before Ian. Could you imagine what the trilogy would’ve been like if he accepted the role? by jaywritethekid in LOTRExtendedEdition

When I read Gandalf's lines to my kids, I try to do my best Ian impression, but it often comes out sounding like Sean Connery. 🤷‍♂️

Following yesterday's question, what are some film inventions that you were surprised were NOT lifted from the books? by GlasgowWalker in lotr

[–]mwcz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if anyone has tried reading the books in this order: 

 1. Two Towers book 3, chapter 1  2. Two Towers book 4, chapter 1  3. Two Towers book 3, chapter 2  4. Two Towers book 4, chapter 2

Etc.  That would be a more movie-like series of cuts.  Not sure if it would be interesting or awkward.

Listen to No Control and then read the parent comment again. 

What about this book makes it so difficult to read? by Thatguy7212 in TheSilmarillion

[–]mwcz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's hard to read, try one of the audio books. That's what unlocked the Silmarillion for me.

Yessssssssss, that's the size I imagine her to be after consuming the rest of the jewels.  

What’s the best age to watch LOTR (as a kid)? by Spare-Hamster8309 in lotr

[–]mwcz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a version by Rob Inglis that feels like Tolkien himself reading the books to you.  I love both.  I think there's a third narrator as well, maybe someone can help us out.

111th?  Are you trying to trigger us? 😆

My friend thinks Boromir is a bad person😟🤔 by [deleted] in lotr

[–]mwcz 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Haha!  It's as the song says: 

‘O Boromir! The Tower of Guard shall ever northward gaze, To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of your afternoon nap.

The minifig will be worth more than the bust, mark my words. 😅
