I know the GBM judges are scripted to ask questions like this, but Michael O'Hare asking if this chef's serving platter with fake grass was "too gimmicky" for a theme of summer and Wimbledon when he himself served his raw langoustine starter in a giant space egg with a personal photo collage on the inside just FLOORED ME. Like how can you agree to call anyone's props gimmicky after that? And to present it to Marcus Wareing of all chefs...

I really enjoyed the first two full cast Harry Potter audiobooks. But I just finished Prisoner of Azkaban, and I didn't like it as much. They did a great job adding sound effects in the first one, but in this one, it feels like most of the sound effects are the trio gasping, panting, moaning, sighing, and groaning as various things happen in the book. Kind of annoying rather than immersive. Hopefully the next books will be better.

I was legit concerned about people saying that Stranger Things had brought back the love triangle for season 5. I hate love triangles in general, but I always thought this one was dumb. I never bought that either of them would fight over Nancy, they barely see her as a person. Likewise, I don't know why Nancy would go for either guy in the early seasons, neither of them are worth it. There's zero chemistry here.

But honestly, season 5 turned out okay in this respect. It's like Jonathan kept trying to make the love triangle and competition a thing, but I didn't really get that vibe from Steve at all. Nancy (quite rightly) didn't give a rat's ass and ignored them both. The "competition" was 100% Jonathan's insecurity, and while the show kind of hinted at that, I'm not sure the message came through strongly enough. It was idiotic to do the triangle at all, though.

I never cared that I have only one follower on tumblr. We do not share any fandoms. But for the first time in ten years, I found an active fandom I want to participate in. I posted a few takes. They will never get a single like or reblog. That stings.

One of the biggest authors for a tiny fandom I like only writes in first person. I DESPISE first person POV in fic and hate I can't read her fics because they sound interesting.

Have you not heard of ... like. Tags?

I don't have any fandom followers on tumblr for my current fandom, but with the magic of tags, my one fandom shitpost got seen by plenty of people.

It's a little funny and a little sad watching all the people who totally quit WoW forever over the Blizzard employee sexual harassment scandal come back again and again every time they launch anything new. Especially the ones who berated everyone else and called everyone who didn't unsub horrible people who supported sexual assault.

They came back for SoD, came back for Anni, Mists, Legion Remix... lol. See you in TBC.

Weekend Plans?

What is everyone doing?

I'm visiting my sister! We are going to play a ton of WoW Classic Burning Crusade. We will also watch the Super Bowl and eat a ton of cheese. Finally, we'll be watching Jurassic Park because we just finished the book!

I actually think more shows should have judges that competed on the show in the past so you can have more moments of "Really? You're complaining about that given what you did?"

The love triangle was actually the only thing I liked about season 1. They were the only characters I didn't either hate or have no impression of, and I thought they worked well together at the end. I didn't like the show enough to watch more seasons, but I wish they could have stayed a trio, whether it was Nancy with one of the guys and their shared bestie, or all three just friends.

I don't see what's wrong with either of the guys. I'm aro and mostly ace, so I'm not projecting any thirst here, I think they're not perfect but would still pretty great to have as friends. I guess you could just be one of those women who thinks every man is worthless and every woman is a goddess who deserves an ideal nonexistent better.

I have an ex guildie like this. Tried to pressure everyone to quit and go to FFXIV. Called everybody complicit if they kept playing the game. Every new round of Warcraft stuff, they come crawling back in everyone's DMs asking if we want to join their guild. Nobody ever does

Why are you assuming they didn't tag?
