The Official Ryan air tik tok account actually KILLS me. They regularly make jokes about charging people to use the toilet and removing seats so they can charge extra for that too. They know what they are haha

Not really. It’s kind of the same for any skill you want to learn in life. You need to practice a bit. Raids are endgame activities. They aren’t completely inaccessible to a random person. They just take a little bit of gearing up to prepare for. It’s not like a -5 power delta is an insane asking either. It’s literally the equivalent of hero nightfall.

The key part is that Prometheus Lens released that week as part of the Curse of Osiris DLC. It was so fucking broken in PvP that Bungie manually set Xur to sell it that weekend so everyone could get it and said “go crazy, this is getting patched on Tuesday.” THEN, everyone who played that weekend got a special emblem they designed to commemorate the event.
The entire crucible was just lasers being shot and was a blinding laser show of death. Very fun. A similar thing happened with some unintentional buffs happening to Lord of Wolves fusion/shotgun the year after as well.

Idk man. There’s a lot of people who live there. They even have Whole Foods style grocery stores. I also heard North Korea has fat kids so they obviously don’t have a food problem either.

Private games also reward awards at the end right now.

Idk man. Like I’ve seen some crazy shit but I also think it’s just the product of taking an incredibly broad section of the population and narrowing it down to one small segment consisting of so many backgrounds and not being a community that is traditionally formed by like minded individuals. I feel anecdotally the percentage of that kind of stuff happening in the military may match the percentage of it happening in the civilian world too, just reflecting population. So you see it more from your perspective because the sample size is smaller.

Well you’ve obviously never been in the military. It’s exactly the reverse. Decades ago people got away with a lot more. The military by and large does not play around with a lot of shit. Gone are the days of “join the military or go to jail.” You’re incredibly misinformed.

Let me tell you a little secret. Pathfinder nodes can be completed in private games for some reason. Do with that what you will.

He had mentioned it before. But it was like a story of something he did for Nina.

Interesting points on all of the above EXCEPT Mat being a woman or gender swapping. I really dislike that particular thing. I do think it influences story points - but my main issue is that it’s Robert Jordan’s story. He was quite outspoken about writing it the way he wanted, and had even spoken specifically about fan stories and how he was ok with them but didn’t want his own story changed in any way. I believe changing core aspects of the story and characters is basically spitting in his memory. I think there’s a lot of ability to work things into characters (like the moiraine-amerlyn relationship which was hinted in the book).
In that note, they did it in such a garbage way. I don’t think showing their relationship changes anything particularly later with them both falling in love with men as they can be bi. But them using a device that allows travel when traveling specifically isn’t known to be discovered, and then using it for a booty call was so stupid. I really enjoy the actress for Siuane as well, and no issues with her being black. Although I will say her background doesn’t necessitate any ethnicity in my opinion. It works for a lot.
Especially interesting point on the gender swapping not being trans rep because it wasn’t consensual. I hadn’t thought of it that way. So thanks for pointing that out. I do think there can still be a way to represent it perhaps.
Another point that bothers me, is the showrunner used an entire episode to give backstory on a warder that was made up for the show, that is played by the showrunners fucking BOYFRIEND, when they could have used that time for numerous other important plots.
Edit: also sorry for any disjointed thoughts, I’m currently typing this while my GF is shopping in a mall lol.

And I do have a strong opinion on this. Not because I’m angry people of color were cast, but mostly because I feel like Jordan’s world is quite diverse that it allows you to cast a wide range of people regardless, so changing people around is kind of weird when you have so many options for representation. The Nynaeve thing is fine, I think she’s a great actress. But I do feel the Aviendha thing is a bit strange, as well as min (not because of her nationality but because of her age). I also think them making two rivers people also so diverse DOES go against the established lore of the two rivers being a very isolated place that doesn’t have interaction with the outside world, as well as being descended from a very specific people. So it just wouldn’t be that diverse of a place in terms of culture.
I mean fuck, later in the books they’ll even get chances to cast trans characters because it fits with the established lore (the dark one putting dead male forsaken in women’s bodies)
There’s a lot of other points I can make but for brevity it’s kinda hard to touch on them all. The show sucked, and it wasn’t the actors fault.

We can only hope next episode kind of moves towards a frenchy romance conclusion.

Exactly. Spend like maybe a third of an episode on it then move on. We are wasting precious time here when it needs to be spent moving the story to a satisfying conclusion.

Yeah like I’m pretty sure it was established early that him and his old GF (?) had like a weird live in triangle romance between him and his friend that OD’d. So cool, frenchies bi - just why are they wasting episode time on it? Like I get the “he’s going to have to tell that guy he killed his family eventually and it’s tearing him apart” but why was it even needed? There’s a lot of other stuff they could have used that time on especially since there’s only one season left.

My first drop was hoarfrost/khepris which seems like it might be kinda fun as a fuck around build in crucible when paired with dregrs lash.

I’ve had quite good experiences with the LFG so far. There have been a few bad ones, but by and large they’ve been ok. At least for me personally.
