Don’t for get the king and queen. They aged zero years as well and aren’t mages or witchers.

Don’t feel bad. Introducing dozens of characters with made up fantasy names and then showing them as different people with different ages, while also showing the Witcher, Yennifer, Jaskier, and Queen Calanthe who seemingly do not age with zero explaination is pretty much purposefully confusing.

Honestly that’s a dumb way to do storytelling, and I was pretty sure about the timeline thing in ep2.  It was just unnecessary.

I kinda caught that, but wasn’t sure. That’s the trouble with fantasy shows. They have such made up gibberish names and places and they’re only mentioned like once, so if you didn’t immediately commit that name and place to memory, you’d never catch that offhand remark by Renfri.

In new shows, the first time you watch, it’s often difficult to keep character names straight. So hearing someone offhand name drop a character you were just introduced to (and very likely their name wasn’t mentioned more than once) is very, very easily missed.  Especially when presented with all kinds of weird…

That’s drafting, baby.  Works better with speed holes, though.

Crosstreks are tiny and I really don’t understand the point of them.  Just buy a Forester.

Indeed, a coworker just bought a Challenger GT AWD last year. He’s a salesman that drives a lot in the upper midwest. I couldn’t really find fault in his choice except that it’s a Chrysler product.

And even then, instead of adding depth to Poe, they regressed him as a character. Made him into a childish moron for some reason.

I particularly like this bit:

Thank you, holy shit.

no you fuck him.

Indeed. Sorry, woke activists, but despite how much you love the actress, the Rose Tico character suuuuuucked. And “subverting expectations” and adding new and useless characters just for the sake of it is not good storytelling.

Yeah those things are notorious.

Yes! I don’t collect toy cars myself, but I do appreciate the appeal of it. And I think you’ll find a decent amount of overlap with Jalops and people who have a casual interest in Hot Wheels (and the like) and model cars.

Indeed, it is a fucking ridiculous argument. I learned some C, C++, and Basic in high school and college, but I’ll be damned if I actually WANT to do it. I didn’t enjoy it at all, and I was even pretty decent at it.  It’s a whole other skill set that for this purpose actually requires quite a bit more than simply…

when I was a poor college student, I used to do just this.  Split two dogs and put them between two slices of wheat bread.  So yeah, he’s right.  One isn’t enough for an actual sandwich.

Eh, it has its place for feeding kids.  Just think of it as cheese-flavored salt, I guess.  I grew up on the stuff and still don’t mind it, but I would choose the real thing every time if the choice is available.

Well I wouldn’t say more flavorful or superior. They’re just different. I honestly love both, and I find asiago (for me) is more versatile, but as a topper for salads and certain pastas, nothing beats Parmigiano Reggiano. For example, when I’m making lasagne, I haven’t found anything that beats using real Parm mixed…
