Better late than never. 

Thanks for this article. I’m a pastor (of more of the brick and mortar type of congregation). I totally appreciate the challenges of always being “on” as a pastor, and trying to balance being just “me” or “pastor me.”

If the master sword never breaks, why would you use anything else once you got it? That idea completely breaks the whole mechanical and thematic point of the system.

Keep the weapons degradation, and give us more varied weapons. I know it’s a trigger point for a lot of people with BotW, but having weapons degrade and break was a fantastic way to force people to use a wide variety of the weapons in the game. That, and it forced people to experiment with the runes to see exactly…

“Item durability is never a fun thing, it only makes people scared to break their toys, and thus not use them.”

Story Time: Christmas, circa 96-97. My younger brother and I get the Playstation we have been begging for, along with Tomb Raider 1 and Twisted Metal 2. We are fucking pumped. We go to hook it up and... calamity! All of our TVs are old, so we don’t have the red/yellow/white AV inputs. We spend WEEKS looking for an RF…

I think a good way to frame it is that BotW is one of the few open world games out there that’s more interested in the journey than the end-point. And to that effect, I absolutely get why that has resulted in a population of people who balked at the weapon-breaking mechanics, the subdued plot, and the general lack of…

I prefer this glimpse of Aubrey.

Every one of his tattoos looks like he got paid on Friday, went out drinking that night, then tossed his last two crumpled twenties on the counter of the dirtiest shop in town and asked “What’ll this get me?”

It’s a DIY cabinet and I dismantled it during the move. I’m thinking of rebuilding it as two Astrocity cabs japanese style.

I don't know who you are. I don't know where you live, but I just want to give you a big hug and say thank you! Perfectly put! 

She didn’t out maneuver little finger as much as they just suddenly made him a dumb dumb and unable to counter her weak accusations against him so they could dump the character. Would have made more sense to just have arya kill him in secret.

I like Sansa but I’m not really feeling this “she’s such a great leader” sentiment. If she’d had her way just a few episodes ago Daenerys would never have joined the North in fighting the Night King and literally everyone in Westeros would have died. That's just pig-headed shortsightedness.

Oh please. Sansa was the weakest, most knocked around character in the show. She started out wanting to be married to a king, and had such naive ideas about the world - meanwhile Arya knew from a young age she needed to fend for herself, and learned how to do so.

But there is a logic to it. Plenty of civilians have died in the past needlessly because of her terrible ability to rule without advise. This is someone who’s had people crucified and burnt alive for tenuous reasons that she considered “justice”.

you miss the whole point of the conversation she had with Jon. In Westeros, you rule by one of two things, either they love you, or they fear you. They don’t love her, so she had to choose fear. Jesus, this show is not a Disney tale, this is how rulers get to rule.

Um, sorry, but what? “Sudden turn”? The only reason it seems sudden is because D&D decided to rush these past two seasons but they have been building to this for a very long time. She was initially talked down from burning the Red Keep, before assisting everyone in the North. She’s progressively lost everything dear…
