Thoroughly enjoyed A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms but it’s a little insane to be putting out a 6-episode season when the episodes are 30 minutes each, especially when it feels packed with filler anyway.

@atzay_ @TheLoserOf08 @ronofjosenthal There’s nothing quite like that first sleepwalker demo. To this day I still listen very once in awhile - never gets old, never fails to move me.
And I didn’t realize that channel was gone to begin with! That dudes definitely got some crucial uploads
English
@DerekCBlunt @TheLoserOf08 @ronofjosenthal I was relistening to Sleepwalker just a few days ago haha, so damn good. Rekevics is a titan
also somewhat related, the youtube channel that uploaded those Sleepwalker demos returned recently after getting taken down

Saw @ronofjosenthal mention Njiqahdda recently and that got me thinking, what were other cult USBM bands that had millenial nerds yapping anytime they were mentioned?
Not talking about Leviathan, Xasthur, Weakling etc. Moreso bands like Ash Borer and Velvet Cacoon.

@DerekCBlunt @TheLoserOf08 I performed a small part on the Clad in Darkness album!
English
@TheLoserOf08 @ronofjosenthal Clad in darkness, Lo-Ruhamah, those first few Falls of Rauros demos before they SOLD OUT (got more than 1000 listeners)
English
@TheLoserOf08 @ronofjosenthal Merkaba, Sleepwalker
Also Njiqahdda fucking ruled. This is me yapping upon their mention

Robb Stark’s betrayal of the Freys is so much worse in the book. It explains that Walder Frey’s oldest son and heir dies fighting for Robb and that 1,000 Frey knights joined Robb’s war.

@tkyles39 @mikekadlick In the Belichick era, 30 visits weren’t particularly noteworthy or indicative of who patriots would draft. Is this regime different? Do you have a sense of if we should pay closer attention to who visits in the pre-draft process ?

Devon Eriksen once wrote a long post about how George R.R. Martin can't finish A Song of Ice and Fire because the morally gray subversion of Tolkien-esque fantasy is not a means to an end, but is an end in itself. It's just dark and cynical for the sake of being so.
English
Real Life Fake Wizard made a video recently talking about how bad writers default to "morally gray" protagonists because it removes the need for consistent values and a story that challenges those values, so there's no need for a meaningful arc. It's a lot easier to write a character who just does whatever the writer feels like because a character who can do anything is indistinguishable from a character who has no traits.
Alice Smith@TheAliceSmith
Every time I hear some woke screenwriter or reviewer talk about the need for “morally complex” plots or “morally grey” heroes, I think of this quote from Nietzsche. “They muddy the water, to make it seem deep.”
English
This is like saying your hard passing on rock music in 1958
J@1000Steps
@PFTCommenter I've never heard passed on anything more than I've hard passed on this.

Genuinely why didn’t all the other kingdoms band together to straight up genocide the Iron Islanders?
The most obviously disgusting, despicable, useless culture in Westeros, completely deserving of utter annihilation and replacement.

@CatotheE @PalmyrPar Cersei had this guys exact thought:
“Robert should have scoured the isles after Balon Greyjoy rose against him, Cersei thought……………. but when he had them on their knees he let them up again. He should have made another island of their skulls.“
English
@PalmyrPar That would be deeply immoral and impractical. That's very Cersei of you.

@heysharpshooter Absolute Elsewhere is a truly good album. But other than that, it’s a terrible list
English
Aside from this placement, the list as a whole is a nightmare hellscape. Not one truly good album on the entire list. A total 0/30.
Fuck it, gonna make my own.

Metal Hammer have ranked Take Me Back To Eden by Sleep Token as the 4th Best Metal Album of the decade so far.
