My dumbass opinions are only outweighed by my racism.

No one forgot that I exist to defend violent cops, champion chaining down immigrants, and have trash opinions on cooking.
Was marathoning Z-Nation and happened upon the gurm episode. Was priceless.

Thirty posts in this horrid thread and only a few are about the fact that GRRM is loving writing :woop:

He literally has no excuse for like the next two months or so given he literally can't leave the house and the book is guaranteed to not be out by the end of this year. It's been over 10 years since the 1st half of the last book was released and almost 10 years (if it gets to june of next year that's a decade) since ADWD.

He doesn't want to finish. FFS he's writing like he is finished doing all the ASOIAF spinoffs & worldbuilding.

Their cameo involved one of them taking a giant buzz saw to Drogon. It was a metaphor for how they utterly butcher the show.

Seriously this must have been a pity gig because I’m legit surprised that anyone in Hollywood wants to be associated with those two bozos anymore.

With coronavirus lockdowns and travel bans, there's going to be gently caress all of big production Hollywood left anymore after few months, probably only thing running anymore are Nigerian Nollywood productions.

This is why I'm sure they got the question who is Jon Snow's mother (that is a terrible question to choose who should write your show btw) from somebody in advance and just looked up the answer.

It's super obvious they just skimmed the books for "cool" moments,not even bothering to have like 2 interns read it for them.

Like they did a 10 million dollar pilot it was their 1st time doing tv and they hosed up,and they got more money

They paid a bunch of money to get professional actors who all read at least enough of the first book to know what to do. That got them through a couple of seasons when there was still strong content.

Well, I've about finished all of Baldur's Gate (poor poor Imoen) and need a new something, so I'll try and finish the last chunks of my Clash of Kinks chapters. There were three escalating battles left to write.

Since my random plea for a Romanian worked out so well I'll just hurl this into the void:

Does anyone know how to Storytell/DM a combat scene online in V20 Dark Ages? That's my preferred system for battle #1.

you've literally done the impossible in coming up with a satisfying ending to the tv show

I kinda feel at peace now about this whole thing. A solution exists, even if our world didn't get to see it. Not ending *is* the song of ice and fire.

Remember when show watchers had meltdowns because book readers were spoiling things?
