- Comment on ‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons 23 hours ago:
Frankly, I am bummed by this news.
I read the books, but seeing how it was a decade+ ago since I last went through some of them, most of it is a blur and I can forgive some of the changes in favor of smoother storytelling.
While the show brought familiarity back, and season 1 was painfully bad in almost all ways, from adapting/changing characters to lore. The show was leaps better in S2 and with S3 each episode felt very cinematic and now told a more cohesive story.
So, even though it was adapted, I was looking out for each new episode and had high spirits for a good S4.
Alas, if it is not picked up by any other studio, the “unfilmable book series” will remain that way, no one will burn their hands on it again. So, those cheering its demise, take that in consideration.
In closing, Prime definitely did not do it full justice at the starting line and it was expensive to catch up to that fact …
But the show was treated and produced better than Rings of Power, which does get another stay and money pumped into it, a choice I rather saw turned around. - Comment on Just a pic of two besties 3 weeks ago:

Sea Of Thieves has amazing ocean effects. The fog sometimes also is very atmospheric with how it seems to occlude sounds etc.

It’s also quite ironic that originally China’s low wages were seen as the core problem/reason how they could offer products so cheaply.
But the way Trump is destroying things the need for low US wages will come up again…Alas, of course everything across the board will get more expensive with his tariffs, from vegetables, to electronics, energy and housing, so the common worker will be screwed and locked in his situation, preferably unable to go on strike.

The line of trafficking is crossed where the person is wholly dependant on the other, ie. they hold/control your passport/means of identification and finances plus are your only means of a roof over your head in an unknown area.

Close, a story like it is/was a classic on reddit, person started receiving/finding anonymous notes that over a few months spiraled downward…
Wish I had saved it or wrote down the title, was a fun read.

Interesting, it reads fine as small print on the Jerboa client.

A few weeks later she finds a note in her kitchen… “you are not alone”.
The next week a note on the fridge reads “They are watching you”.
Two days later an angrily scribbled note is found on the stairs “do not sell them your chairs!”
More notes randomly appear, sometimes in familiar handwriting other times in a wild angry scribble … “they are here at night” … “they are fondling your chairs in the darkness” … “I told you not to make a deal” … “you and your chairs will suffer”.
A week later Lorette Grace is admitted into hospital with severe CO poisoning.
