Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

My first Big Fish of 7.4!

My first Big Fish of 7.4!
Finished Arcadion this morning (enjoyed almost all of it. Not 100% but still one of the best plots and experiences ingame)
7.4 MSQ just finished. Mixed bag. The meat of the patch? Enjoyed immensely. Dungeon, Trial, Town, New cast**
How it started? No. The specifically 8.0 setup? Disliked greatly.

First rule about growing up in a Navy house, especially if both parents not only worked at the Naval Academy but connected to sports, is to be incredibly petty towards the Army. Lesser extent also Air Force (esp w/ Naval Aviation dad)
So there's just a *tiny* bit more Schadenfreude at that parade

And returning after dinner to check that the window was just about to pop, I decided to go for even though I hadn't prepped and was almost out of bait - naturally that's when I catch the last fish I needed.

A DEVASTATING LOSS. What I've most enjoyed about #TheWheelOfTime is how often the power of women, in particular women of color, has been central to the action. No on-screen fantasy series comes close to #WoT in normalizing women as the greatest badasses. #WoTskies #WheelOfTime (Google Search image)

The years long grind is done. I no longer think it's one of the ugliest mounts - still not one I visually love, but I do love the Diadem music. And the bragging rights of completing this #FFXIV achievement.

In S3 of "The Wheel of Time" Tv series, some scenes were filmed on Socatra.
The tell? A character known as the Dragon-reborn was resting under a Dragon Tree (Dracaena cinnabari).
And frankly, that was far deeper of a botanical cut than I expected for this series.
