Quit screwing around and get on that payload ... dad

If people feel compelled to pay third parties to get a fun experience with the game, then Blizzard has dropped ball somewhere in terms of community management.

It’s kind of depressing to me that we live in a world where there’s legit economic reasons why this kind of thing may be necessary. I mean, I have no problem with them doing it, especially if they enjoy doing it. To me I shows how the traditional labor market is vanishing and being replaced with something less secure…

I don’t fault these ladies for what they’re doing at all, power to them. I do however think that anyone who actually regularly uses their services or “needs” it to enjoy the game is very strange.

Yes, as stated in my first comment. There are so few parallels I really have to wonder about those making the claim.

He published 15 books (including the very short prequel) in 23 years despite being dead for 6 of them. That’s pretty good going in anyone’s book.

Having read both series thoroughly and repeatedly, I don’t get the comparison, except at a level close to “they’re both mostly written in English.”

Better not cut all the braid tugging! That’s what ties the whole narrative together.

All i want from this.... ALL that i really want, is one scene where Nynaeve tugs on her braid and it just rips right out of her head.

I was just thinking the same thing. This series will benefit from the trimming necessary to get things to screen, both with plot in general, and with the sheer amount of detail that takes up a lot so many of the pages. On television, you’re not describing what a character is wearing and their personal tics, it’s just…

DOnt forget skirt smoothing

Looking at the showrunner’s credits doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. He’s cowritten a few episodes of Chuck, one of Hemlock Grove, and three of Agents of SHIELD. Otherwise, he’s known for having been on Survivor more than a decade ago.

I think we both know that if you were truly a Worthy Liberal you would have had the decency to have been born in LA. Seems like your fault for living in PA

Seriously, the fact that all these folks are patting themselves on the back for being so progressive while also being like “fuck y’all, I’ve got mine” to the millions of POC, LGBT, etc. people who don’t happen to live in California is pretty rich.

Thank you. The smug is strong with this one....

Also it feeds in to the bullshit narrative that republicans have been pushing my whole life, that I’ve been railing against. It is not the coasts vs. “real” middle America. You are not an elitist jerk and I’m not a conservative simpleton. The majorities are different, of course, but there are conservatives and idiots…

But they’re, like, so much better than those people! White ladies dropped thm near people who agree with them! How selfish of you to remind them of the rest of the world.

States can’t secede. We fought a war about this already. Jesus fucking Christ, California.
