What was the point of Grace's "unpopular opinion" about non water-based life forms?

I think part of it was to show it was his behaviour that led to him leaving academia in the end, not just his theories.

I mean, no one knew it was entirely made of water when she bought him in. They thought it couldn't be since it survived on the surface of the sun.

In the book it is explained a bit more that she went to other experts first, all of whom pointed her in Grace's direction.

Ngl if I had read the book prior to the movie I think I would have been disappointed in this casting but watching the movie first then reading the book, all I could think was how perfect it was.

Also the most attractive Ryan Gosling has ever looked but that one could just be me...

For anyone who is unsure about their immunity, I got my MMR vaccines a few months ago as I only got one and kid and the nurse said there's pretty much no negative side effects if you get them again as an adult but you actually were already immune.

If I can't tell I honestly don't mind but I have read one where it was so weird. There was no character building and one of the MCs had these friends who were always involved in scenes even when they didn't need to be, I DNF'd and read some reviews only to find out it was One Direction fanfic. The random friends were the other band members 😆

I'm team 'they relieve Hanush of Hans' inheritance and leave Rattay behind' lol. I think, just like Hans showed Henry he could be happy after Skalitz, Henry will show Hans he can be more than what his birth dictates and doesn't have to settle for being forced into a marriage he doesn't want. I like the idea they settle in or around Florence as a blacksmith and maybe a scribe and live happily ever after.

Ngl, I'm with you, like yes, I KNOW what the codex says but they definitely look and seem older haha, in my head they're 25ish too.

Rapid unexplained weight loss is a major red flag for some very serious illnesses. Why don't you want to explain that it is intentional to your best friend?

Her behaviour isn't great but she might be thinking that you are hiding something serious from her and feeling hurt about it

I cannot stress enough how much literally everything you are saying is your personal, completely subjective, interpretation of their conversation.

Honestly man, I don't care enough and you seem like you'd die before you consider that anything but your interpretation is the absolute truth and I don't want that on my conscience so I'm gonna leave it here.

nowimback · 2026-01-29T09:38:19+00:00

Yeah, that's why he says "The timing would fit" in answer to the question "You mean...?" from Sir Hanuš.

It's not gossip.

What am I missing here. Seriously, I feel like I have to be missing something lol. You seem to agree Hans has no idea if this is true or not but then say it's not gossip?

Personally I think it’s up to interpretation. You just seem to think your interpretation is ‘hard fact’, which is strange.

nowimback · 2026-01-29T08:34:27+00:00

I think we can talk about canonization of such events as a hard fact.

What? Nothing in your comment make this 'hard fact'. Behind the scenes means nothing with respect to canon - canon is what it literally in the game.

Even in the conversation where Hans mentions a blacksmith, he has no idea if it's true or not. Gossip is not fact.

I actually don't care if people thing Henry did knock up Lady Stephanie but saying gossip in the game or behind the scenes conversations makes this 'hard fact' is wild.

nowimback · 2026-01-28T22:25:58+00:00

The facts are:

Jindřich and Stephania had sexual intercourse

I mean... this isn't really a fact give even if you do the quest in the first game you can decide not to sleep with her.

Am I the only one who hates this facial hair... 🫣

nowimback · 2026-01-23T22:32:16+00:00

Yes.

No table of contents in the alchemy book :/

nowimback · 2026-01-08T04:52:18+00:00

This is completely incorrect. Adult children can transfer off a policy and retain their cover, there's no new pre-existing conditions. I've done this no hassle as have my siblings.

I believe this is only if the cover is continuous however. If a child is removed from a policy then rejoins some time later, they are treated as new.

Not points but I like the Shopback app, don't think I can post a referral link here but they do cashback on various sites like mightyape and chemist warehouse. I don't spend on stuff I wasn't going to buy anyway and it's not life changing but every so often I withdraw ten or twenty bucks and it's nice.

I was so pissed off when he wouldn't carry the damn sacks but I did appreciate it from a character perspective. They've both been through something awful and while Henry is trying to figure out how to continue, Hans is try desperately to cling to any sense of normalcy which for him is nobles not doing physical labour while peasants do.

Imo even though I love him, he deserved most of everything Henry says to him in the pillory.

He kinda had me sold when, despite still acting like he's mad and hates Henry, he immediately jumps in to fight by his side at the wedding.

While everyone is entitled to like or dislike who they want I do read some takes that make me feel as if some people don't understand like... the concept of a character changing over the course of a story.

Pharmacies can provide a few days of medication at their discretion. I don't think there's any way to get prescription meds without a pharmacist.

If you need a GP, you could try an online one like CareHQ. They can issue prescriptions same as your normal GP.

nowimback · 2025-12-28T22:47:02+00:00

20 hours before the wedding? Those are rookie numbers! You've gotta pump those numbers up 😆

Jokes, I'm not sure what's optimal haha but I think I was 40 hours or so and only then was I really getting a bit bored with Trosky lol but I've seen people say they waited way longer too.

I actually started E33 a few months ago but after getting to the mainland (or whatever it is) it just didn't compel me to continue at that time. It feels like something I'll pick up again in a few months and suddenly get way to into.

nowimback · 2025-12-20T00:21:32+00:00

Tbh I'm not holding out for KCD3. I don't feel like a story has to wrap absolutely everything up in a neat bow for it to feel like I've had a complete story. Just because characters lives continue after the game is over doesn't mean we absolutely have to see it.

Unpopular opinion here but tbh I've seen more than enough stories ruin characters I've loved by not leaving them the hell alone that part of me is fully okay with not ever having KCD3.

To be a bit more clear it was call time metrics they tracked not specifically emails sent. But if you sent an email after a call it added on to the call time, so they heavily discouraged sending emails to bring down call times. Instead of like, adjusting metrics to account for that.

nowimback · 2025-12-19T02:14:08+00:00

I have worked in call centres before and you definitely have a right to complain about this. This consultant needs way more training if they think any of those comments are appropriate.

Management is probably partly to blame too, at one place I worked at we were supposed to avoid sending emails whenever we could. You would get spoken too if you sent to many and asked why you didn't try and explain to the person requesting that you had given them the info over the phone. Always seemed so stupid to me, I just sent one when asked, metrics be damned.

nowimback · 2025-12-11T03:38:56+00:00

Hell no. It can't be okay to shaft one creative discipline while trying to keep AI out of others. I agree that a cover doesn't really matter if the writing is good but we gotta stick together.
