Have watched a few episodes this far. Giving it a fair shake. Too much high fantasy stuff going on to properly keep track of is a pretty big negative on it.

The fight scenes in episode 1 (vs the bar thugs and vs Renfri) had some awesome choreography tho. One of the best I've seen tbh

They really failed to world build and there is a strange time line mix up that causes hell for the veiwers.

Yeah. I can see their attempts at world building, but they need more context to the places/rulers/races they mention. It's just, King X of Y. And then nothing to help you actually remember what that was or why it was important when it gets mentioned later.

The time line shit show I thankfully knew about going into it. If I had tried to watch the day it came out before I saw some light spoilers about it, I would have just been frustrated.

Like, things happening 80 and 20 years apart should not be a grand reveal in episode 3. People have been way too confused in episode 1 and 2 to applaud you for it.

But I mean, it's still enjoyable. But it's taken persistence. I don't have much going on this week. I'd have probably dropped it mid ep 3 if I didn't have a 2 day work week here and trying to relax after a crazy holiday season (spent Christmas afternoon in the ER) and just chill on the couch to recoup. Wife is alright tho so everything is well here.

Pretty sure I'd never leave the house if I lived with her. I'd need to ice up when I wasn't pounding cakes in that kitchen.

The ass is about a full ass-size or two over my ideal, but the sentiment is fucking lovely.

Well, bushfires are nothing new, but the extent and duration of these ones is something else.

More than five million hectares so far.
That’s an area greater than the country Wales. All of Hawaii and Massachusetts combined or Belgium and Luxembourg combined.

Of course people were still setting off fireworks in their backyards on NYE.

Funny enough, I think it's part reality TV, part 9/11, and part internet escapism. 9/11 was formative in destroying the "safe" culture of the 90s and throwing us wholesale into this new different world. Reality tv warped our reality and presented it back to us as acceptable. It made reality malleable. And the internet is the internet. It's a whole culture created by Gen X and Millennials tangential from "reality culture", and therefore not required to be linked to it. Generations raised on the internet have to be versed in it because it's where we live. We understand it.

Put all those things together, and it makes sense why we'd thrive on the absurd. Gen X was largely adult with the advent of the internet, but forward thinking "nerds" set the baseline that Millennials picked up on and ran with as we came of age. Zoomers, being raised almost wholly in that environment, picked it up and ran with it themselves, layering internet and reality culture into our current zeitgeist. It's a convergence of the two in the absence of a set foundation like we had in the 90s. I think it's also why Millennials and Zoomers get along so well. The internet is a hard delineation in generations. If you were raised on it (or at least learned how to traverse it), you get it. If you know the old ways primarily, you might be left out or think it's "stupid".

Wow, I haven't thought about 9/11 playing into that. I often think about (when stoned listening to OMCs How Bizarre and reflecting on how AIDS killed the singer) how there is such a dramatic change in culture and counter-culture from the 90s to the 2000s.
The 90s had grunge, and I think bands like Alice in Chains did a really good job of capturing the general hopelessness of mortality, but I'm well versed in self loathing and well versed in hate. Those two didn't often overlap.

We did see this released though (Anti Flag was discovered by Tom Morello)


I've spent the last five minutes really dwelling on "making reality malleable" I'm torn on that. Because my inherent belief is that despite any progression we've had, the true nature of humanity has essentially never changed, but perhaps to a fault, I consider Boomers to be a failed generation, who never had to ask for bootstraps, who fucked the Earth and the future generations after them. If there's one good thing the United States being the disgraceful hateful nation she is, allowing the sick to die. I think it's a good thing the Boomers who vote against healthcare are suffering from heart disease, that they keep leaving their teethmarks on the barrel of a .45, that cancer is throwing them into debt, they voted against UHC. Fuck them. I hope those old cunts who shouted the N word at children who were trying to go to a school during desegregation are being abused by their nurses.

Gen X really gets a pass though, I've never really understood why. Were they not a part of the modern great mental depression that millennial grew up in?

4 Chan, memes and social media. More kids are staying indoors, and nowadays the autist's have a say in the culture change due to the online presence being ever prevalent. Not to mention the world view being sarcastic and doomsday.

I love this post, I can't say shit because I'm ADHD as shit and hella on that spectrum but the internet taught me most things. Birds and the bees? I still remember trying to cyber sex a girl and saying I wanted to play with her "click" because you just flip it up and down like a lightswitch. You a /b/tard? I kinda always got that vibe from you, I've always lurked, rarely posted, and as a gun nut love /k/ but during the Obama administration and this new Charlottesville era, there seems to be way too much "chimpout" "I can't wait to murder blacks" all over that site.

As a white dude who likes black girls I can't even fap on /gif/ anymore. Some big bootied Goddess one post, and some dude talking about race traitors the next. Rude.

Oh, I'll eat ass. I just like it as an appetizer, and not the main course.

Yeah, lots of flaming galahs. Millions of other critters dead as well. Including all of those left so badly burnt that some poor bastards had to go around and euthanise them for Christmas/NYE.
