Nobody is saying he exclusively carries it by hand.

Okay, sorry it doesn’t meet your expectations to what your imagination is when reading a book by yourself as an individual experience.

Most of the book series is a long, overarching story. And very little of it is devoted to actual witchering after the short story collections. Geralt actually spends most of the overall story on a semi-retirement, devoted to a personal affair rather than his profession. 

In the books he usually leaves the silver sword in a saddlebag on Roach. When he knows there’s a monster about, he takes the sword out. He doesn’t carry the silver sword on him willy nilly because it’s relatively fragile (if not being used against a monster) and it’s awkward to carry two swords on your back, not to…

The books start with two short story collections which are stand-alone, episodic adventures, and then kick into a densely serialised, five-volume series which is one big story split into five smaller volumes. I imagine the TV series is going for a similar approach.

In the books Dandelion expressly says that Yennefer looks about 16 years old. In the games she looks more like 30.

The games are broadly accurate, but in the details they just make up their own stuff (like making Yennefer look a lot older than she does in the books). Some other changes are for gameplay: in the books Geralt only keeps his steel sword on him and keeps the silver on Roache most of the time, only getting it when he…

The character is white in the books and games. Would u say that it would be a good representation of black panther if an integral black character was another ethnicity? 

How is wanting a good representation of something people love racist? 

Again, I am not objecting to the idea wholesale.

Lets say they do change her race.

possibly, or they just want an actress that looks like the character as she was described in the multiple books this show is adapted from.

I mean, look, I would be BEYOND PSYCHED if like, Watto turned up in the new ones, but I can accept that the most beloved characters in this universe are generally Leia, Luke, and Han (even though the Han thing has kinda escaped me; honestly, I think I prefer him in TFA), and that most of the major characters in the…

I think Force Awakens does that to some extent, in part because that movie (which I generally love) is fueled by a lil’ bit of myopia that results from keeping your eyes on “doing it for the fans.” But as a semi-notorious prequel-lover, I was actually delighted by how Last Jedi rolls them in gracefully. Besides…

Look guys, I’m deeply liberal and I think the conservative party right now is pretty atrocious, but let’s not pretend conservative news outlets are all trash heaps while the liberal outlets are bastions of integrity. Some of the shit I read on the Washington Post lately is embarrassing. Wild, biased, poorly sourced…

What percentage of self-proclaimed conservatives read respected conservative publications like the Wall Street Journal or the Weekly Standard anymore? It seems like a increasingly small number. The conservative movement is bifurcated between an educated, wealthy elite and an undereducated, poorer base for whom…

I guess you got to fight fire with fire. Logic and reasoning haven’t been able to take him down. Let’s get him with gossip and conjecture.

Speaking as somebody who has disagreed with Trump on pretty much everything, this seems sloppy as hell. A bunch of unsourced admitted lies that the author has tried to Rashomon into his best guess at what really happened? Backed by nothing?

His access makes it kind of notable, I guess, but Trump’s prolonged public…

TLJ guaranteed that episode 9 will be something different, which is another reason I like it.
