@TheEdVerse Thank you good sir for the brief and very interesting tales! I shall bring them to my party, who all wish to meet more Tabaxi after having traveled with my adventurer "Quick Falling Leaf," who has studied sword and magic at a rebuilt (in our world) Myth Drannor.
@MadameFluffy@immalkwalahi It's almost as if having the name Silent Hill attached to a project automatically gives it some sort of advantage due to an existing fan base... Next your gonna say the same thing about game designers or studios...
@MadameFluffy@Crow_Akai If you look at this extremely detailed chart with all my references, sources, and notes, you will see exactly what makes the film better... Now where did I leave that chart? Sorry, can't seem to find it.
@MadameFluffy Drizzt was what really got me into D&D. Do I love and want more Drizzt content, of course, but showing off his daughter and giving a possible future MC for the series when Drizzt retires? What's not to love? Also again, writer burnout is a thing. Gotta get new ideas flowing.
@MadameFluffy I don't get why that's such a big deal to whine over? You aren't satisfied with 40 books of a character, and the writer possibly trying not to burn out, so he introduced a new character? Isn't that what writing and series are? I'm sorry you are bombarded by that.
I remember once when I was gov contracting for the agency I was working in a remote part of the Middle East. We had a boss who I couldn't stand, he had almost gotten us killed on multiple occasions, he couldn’t make a decision for the life of him, and overall was just a terrible leader. Everyone I worked with agreed and despised him.
One day after some detected surveillance which later became an engagement directly due to his leadership I looked at my counter part and said this:
“Honestly, if it wasn’t your job, would you save that piece of shit?”
He looked at me dead in the eyes and said:
“F*ck yes I would, that is a f*cking American.”
Then he got closer knowing where I was going with this and said in a stern voice:
“Wouldn’t you?”
It was at that point in time that I realized I was the piece of shit, not the person I was pointing my finger at. I knew that instant that I was a horrible representation of the flag that I wore on my chest and that I didn’t even deserve to be there. I immediately adjusted my attitude, but I felt ashamed for even having thought of not rendering aid or conducting combat to save another American simply because I did not agree with his decision making.
It is that exact sentiment that I see in this country today. Wishing the worst, death and beyond on another American because they think differently than you. A whole lot of finger pointing and not a lot of self reflection.
We all have blood on our hands at this point.
Every race
Every gender
Every religion, political party, sexual preference, nationality, and so on…
I don’t know what it’s going to take for the country to learn this lesson, but it is not going to get any better and continue getting worse until we all realize that we are all “f*cking Americans”.
Give yourself the room to say “You know what, I never thought of it like that, maybe I’m wrong about this one.”
Be like my counterpart was, not like I was. We’re all in this together and we’re all American whether you like it or not.
My counterpart’s name was Anthony Del Vecchio callsign “Devo”. He was a great American.

Dear Mr. Greenwood,
I would love to know your thoughts and opinions on famous characters of the realms that were created by other talented creators/authors. The prime examples being Drizzt Do'Urden, Evaris Cale, Mins & Boo, etc....
@MadameFluffy@ZeldasBreakfast My favorite thing in Skyward Sword were the Loftwings, and I'm bummed they never came back. The art style after Twilight Princess, started going very cartoony to me, which really lowers the dramatic tension and vibes.
