I was giving the imbued gems some thought People are going to wreck themselves chasing specific skill/support combinations. I had to scale back my own plans (bolt Feeding Frenzy on to minion skill) when I saw that would be something like a one in forty-five. If it's a transfigured gem and you...

No one gives a shit because it's Gerald's Game but Gerald's Game is 100% over and then keeps going for another 30 pages. The Stand is definitely worse because it sets up a major armed conflict between Boulder and Vegas to never pay that off to then do the "story is over here's fifty more pages...

It's fine. The dude being asthmatic and coughing through act one made me want to shut it off but it's fine.

None of my shit got nerfed Going to be a good league

Put me down for "this is still going to be too good"

You convince poor tards that the reason they're poor is GGG's fault and then when the underlying loot gets boosted it has a expontential effect on big investment group play juicer gameplay. I watched two videos of super juicers complaining about ground loot and then a third juicer doing a...

Being able to better run the maps you want to run right away is going to really help smooth out league starts. If you hit a plateau or your starter needs more work than you expected you can put everything on hold and grind through a block of maps of the layout and tier you are comfortable with...

I never went and checked a synopsis so I don't know if my concerns ever manifested but I definitely ruined my own enjoyment just the same. I'm just going to assume that at least some main characters exploded. Related to the time skip we get (it's been a while bear with me) Clarissa Mao joining...

I gave up partway through book seven. Doing a 28 year time skip for the concluding trilogy means you can kill anyone off while still leaving yourself a huge block of time to write more stories in later if you feel so inclined. I don't know what happened, I never looked at a synopsis but it...

That he was still introducing new point of view characters and expanding the narrative in book 5 rather than condensing things down to wolf versus lion is a big part of why I've got no real expectation he'll ever finish things up before dying.

I thought it was the dumbest piece of shit I'd ever seen the first time and gold the second. Of all the movies I've disliked and turned around on The Quick and the Dead has the biggest swing.

The parts of Sinners that I liked I liked enough to look the other way on some things. There's just no way there's going to be a kickass folk singing Irish vampire to carry me through this show. X-Files is a honky show with a lot of honky actors and a honky fanbase. It's really likely we're...

I've been waiting over twenty years to see what happens next with Sam in Oldtown, Ser Jaime, Brienne and the other storylines that were advanced in a Feast for Crows but saw little to no space on the page allocated for them in A Dance with Dragons. Tell me all about what would made LotR better...

Not so much, no.
