I have been told I am highly competitive when playing games. Maybe I'm highly competitive with my pedantry too, I don't know.

I've never had people get competitive at Boss Monster. Worst reaction was bored. Dominion I can see.

Why do some people get insulted if you say they would be Hufflepuffe. My only exposure is to the movies.

If you're not brave, ambitious or smart you're basically a complete moron worthy only of scorn.

Speaking of Rowling's writing, my GF was reading the murder mystery she wrote under a pen name. I told her "The murderer will be the first person the detective talked to". "But the detective first talks to the brother who hired him!" - So guess how it ends

Regardless of how Rowling writes, the houses work how she wants them to because she is the author. She can't not understand how they work

If she invented it, it works as she says it does. Writing about things you don't understand is for realms not controlled by your own imagination.

The way it works in the book is a narrative device. The way it works in interviews is because of fanatics. OR It works a way in the books and she's revising it on the fly after the fact. It depends if you care about reading the book or fantasising and self inserting/writing fan fiction etc.

In your own head, it can be whatever you want it to be. Same goes for Authors when they put it on the page.

GulagDolls posted:oh can we only talk about things that matter??? is that it??? is that how this is gonna go?? FINE Oh we can totally talk about things that don't matter. That's this entire thread. I'm just saying it doesn't matter what Rowling says now compared to what she wrote then. She has changed her mind and if she wrote the books now they could be different. Gulag, you can believe the hat works however you want.

The mechanics are secondary to the narrative. It's magic, it does whatever it needs to do to push the plot where the author wants it to. I never said she was a good writer, just that she owns her own fantasy and it does as she says.

Funny, I almost used that as an example. Depends which version you watch. I do prefer the characterisation of Han where he shoots first. Less of a sap. But both versions are equally valid interpretations of the narrative. Han can shoot first or second, just choose what you prefer - it doesn't matter which. Canon is meaningless. It's like when adaptions don't stick 100% to the source material. I'm not screaming "THERE WERE NO ELVES AT HELM'S DEEP!" because I just see the movies as an alternate version of the same overall story.

Yeah, same. I check the page where I had read up to last, then just skip to the end. Do the same thing with books and you can get through so many.

It's Schrodinger's Blaster. Han shoots both first and second till you watch the movie and the waveform collapses.

For one, I'm not working in my field. Other than that, it's not engaging and kind of infuriating at times - despite the workplace in general being pretty great.

Stupid tennis. Keeping me up. I only watched the first two sets, but 1 am was late enough when I had to be up at 6. Now I'm going to be too tired for this day. Also, Bowmore/Busb - if you do try to orgnaise a Syd meet up make sure to PM me as I don't read all the posts here.

Hot dogs are technically wraps. Or vice versa. Hamburgers are sandwiches. And the red text is correct.
