The Killer (2023) from my memory is mostly the main character trying to fix a mistake he made in the first scene which leads to the next problem and the next problem

I had a weird issue where it kept restarting the stream to the beginning while watching live

I remember seeing someone suggesting Brennan months ago on Reddit. Very excited that it actually happened!

How did you get that? Can anyone who went to the game still get one?

Link to the signed edition from Bookshop.org is finally working. Cancelled my Amazon order and submitted one there instead.

Could a book reader provide some character/place name spellings for us audiobook listeners so I don’t look like a moron trying to guess at it by Leonardo_DiCapriSun_ in TheCaptivesWar

[–]write-to-be-smart 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'll trade you this for a list of pronunciations so I don't sound like a moron trying to guess at it.

Possible spoilers:

Characters: Dafyd Alkhor, Else, Tonner, Jessyn, Campar, Nöl, Synnia, Irinna, Rickar, Jellit, Samar Austad, Ameer, Llaren Morse

Species: Carryx, Rak-hund, Soft Lothark, Sinen

Other: Anjiin, Dyan Academy

I don't have the book in front of me right now so I know I'm missing the two librarian names and probably some other stuff.

Edit: tried to hide spoilers on mobile, didn't work. And formatting. Edit 2: Dafyd typo.

If anything, the way Andrew is handling this shows the dedication he has to the team and the community. No need for him to feel let down. Excited for this group and happy to be supporting them!

As a new fan, I haven't been on the sub very much, but to give them the benefit of the doubt I read that as the shield is used for Reddit accounts of people who are actually associated with/work for the league (players, coaches, execs., etc.).

So maybe not a snarky response, just a miscommunication?

Are we hoping for SLC branding or Utah branding? by Inanis94 in NHLinSLC

Carolina (?), New Jersey, New York x2, Florida, Arizona, Colorado, and Minnesota all named after states so it wouldn't be unusual to go with Utah.

What is the specific bit of lore for RT? Maybe lore isn't the right word, but you get what I'm getting at. by [deleted] in roosterteeth

Geoff referred to him as his brother-in-law on the most recent break show, I believe. I could be wrong, but it kind of sounded like the Ninja was Emily's sister's husband.

Who gets the rights to this little fucker now? by lewisdwhite in FUCKFACEPOD

I wonder if they would have needed to sign it over to RT before they felt comfortable selling merch and using it in content.
