Nein.

So messed up, man. Still can't believe it

Hello

when people are so dumb it physically pains you

Same

I can't make that look work

I don't want to be in this shitty club

:(

im going bald already

That sounds easy, you got this

I never watched it either but got some of it spoiled and it sounded kinda meh

I love most of Nolan's other movies though so idk, I should watch it sometime probably

Man how do I stop being depressed by my immediate and extended family's political beliefs

goodbye

I'm trash

Man I still gotta play Hades. And finish Ghost of Tsushima. And probably some other stuff.

Need to just pass time til september 1st...

i hate summer weather and im ready for it to go the heck away

Eat a bag of beans

Oh that sounds absolutely miserable

Hell yeah, good luck!

I did

I would have even if he wasn't part of these topics because LOL the other option

That's like 95% of people my age

Feels bad man

I like hot dog

I'm bummed about avengers still

I hate that

It's the worst when they're inside your nose though

Me too in my noses

Skin Game is a real fun read. I love those kinds of plots in general.

Yeah I've gotta agree with DrizztLink here, I don't see Cait Sith agreeing to be infected. And the scene with him trying to shake it off implies that to me too.

I think the answer to this will probably come when we find out more about Bianca's masquerade ball and the trade Lea made. Which is possibly gonna come in the book after Battle Ground if that's still Mirror Mirror and the premise I've heard about it is true.

Also also, has there been any news about a new TV adaptation? I remember hearing something about it being a possibility a year or two ago but nothing since. I just heard Shinedown's 45 again recently and it reminded me of that scene in Cold Days and goddamn I would love to get a faithful adaptation of these books.

A common theory on the subreddit (which I don't quite agree with but can understand) is that Thomas was trying to warn Harry that he shouldn't trust Justine, the idea being that she has been infected by nemisis.

I don't have any particular ideas on the second theory, other than it maybe being Lord Raith, who basically discovered that Malcolm was the dude who "stole" his girlfriend. Lord Raith strikes me as the kind of guy who would kill someone for that.

First one makes some sense though I'd wonder how and why she was infected and not say Lara Raith or someone that could replace her

Second one, I would think he would have mentioned it in Blood Rites if that were the case

Any theories on, Peace Talks spoilers again, what Thomas was trying to say to Harry? I don't think it was actually about Justine, that's just too easy. But I can't think of anything that would fit.

Also I just realized a certain plot element really hasn't been expanded on at all since, I think, the very first book. That being who killed Malcolm Dresden and why?

Yeah I find it really hard to rank it. What was in there was all fucking awesome, but it very much is "part 1 of 2"

I think if Battle Ground keeps up the amount of insanity the two combined very well could compete with Changes and Cold Days for the top spot in the series.

Oh, my bad. Forgot those.

I think Zoo Day is the only one that outright needs to be read post Skin Game but I don't remember Day One from the title.

Day One deals with (huge Skin Game spoilers seriously don't read if you haven't read it) Butters's first solo job as a Knight of the Cross

So needless to say it 100% has to be read post Skin Game lol

That is true, I'd try to read as many of them as you can. The ones in Brief Cases are definitely more relevant for Peace Talks though. A handful of them take place after Skin Game though, Jury Duty, Day One and Zoo Day.

Try to read Cold Case, the short story, before Skin Game. Or at least before Peace Talks.

It's not essential but I'd recommend it

I did not make that connection at all but I think you're completely right

the problem is to take the CPA here I would have to work I think 3 years in the field before taking it, so idk if that's worth it

Yeah I know

I'm just so so very tired of school and not having full career money and living at home and also just generally living

Yeah Cold Days is crazy, man.

I feel like I might read it again soon. Then again, Battle Ground is still 2 months away so maybe I'll wait a bit.

America as a whole has me so goddamn depressed and my family is part of that but I can't afford to live elsewhere for quite some time still

Finishing my bachelor's this upcoming semester finally but probably have to go for a master's so I can take the CPA because I don't know if I can get a decent job without it so that's another year minimum

Fuck

same

but life is bad shits tbh

i'll probably check it out someday maybe

do it

it's not the best show but i still enjoyed it

No idea. How are they, compared to Dresden?

I watched that Warrior Nun show on Netflix

Crushing hard on the lead actress and also wishing season 2 was closer because season 1 finale made it feel like the show was just starting

The load times are actually pretty incredible, I wonder how they did it

Holy balls this book is like Jim Butcher bringing a warhammer to a knife fight.

I think the Patrick Rothfuss quote summed it up pretty well. Something like "Peace Talks isn't the book I was waiting for. It's better."

Shit was insane, I need Battle Ground.

Why would Ubisoft be porting Persona 3

Finally finished ghost story. Way too much inner monologue book could have been 200 pages shorter. What wasnt inner monologue was good though. Id still rank it ahead of storm front and fool moon; on par with grave peril.

I'd agree with that, it's a little overly long for the plot it has but the character development is pretty good at least.

What are the theories on (Skin Game and Peace Talks spoilers) what the artifacts are that Harry got from the underworld vault, and what they do? Obviously the Holy Grail was there and Nicodemus has that still I believe. Harry's got the Shroud of Turin and Crown of Thorns for sure and the Shroud's effect is most likely healing/resurrection considering we already had a book about it, albeit a fake. But the dagger/athame and the placard, what would those be and what purpose could they serve, particularly since, IIRC, he's bringing them with him to fight Ethniu

Yeah really, I've only worn one a couple times because I haven't been in public much, and it's no big deal at all. And I am a fatass.
