Good for her!

Counterpoint: It’s going to be awesome.

Obviously :)

There are no turns in Texas.

By the way, it’s raining again today in Houston :/

Yeah, hopefully they will come around...or drown. Either way. But yes, I’m constantly annoyed by the “head in the sand”willful ignorance of some of my fellow Houstonians.

Was Podrick this well-hung in the books?

I’m still hoping GRRM pulls a fast one and takes the books in a completely different direction than what he has discussed with the show-runners.

I’m not sold on it, but I concede there may be a…

“You’re gonna learn about loss.”

I’m sorry you feel that way, old man.

So 20-ish years ago, I bought Baldur’s Gate like so many of us did and I played it vigorously. I also made myself a character and went through all the trouble of re-recording the various voice responses for environmental events (sunup, sundown, orders, damage, etc) and making an avatar for him.
