He’s the oldest thing that walks Middle Earth aside from Bombadil.

The Wizards are older, though, if you consider their non-physical spirit form that’s been around pretty much since the beginning.

The Wizards (sort of), Tom Bombadil, Treebeard, and Círdan the Shipwright: am I a joke to you?

Film, yes.

Book, hell no. He will go out of his way to tell you he will be king and that he knows his rightful place is on the throne.

The stewards were a line of kings in all but name.

The BBC owns Doctor Who.

Absolutely nothing about this screams AI generated lmao

Definitely. CUDA has had a long headstart, and Nvidia were very clever in getting it entrenched early on, particularly in universities and such. It’s also just… generally does the job.

My above comment was purely on the gaming side

People buy Nvidia no matter what. Even when they aren’t the best choice. Then those same people complain about Nvidia doing the anticompetitive things they do.

The best is when people cheer for AMD making something great, only so they can buy an Nvidia card cheaper, as if the only reason AMD exists is to subsidise their Nvidia purchase!

Nvidia’s greatest asset is the mindshare they have.

Definitely a Magnum, not Haggen Daas

Trust me, I’m a greedy cunt. I know all about ice cream.

I wish that were the case. Unfortunately, human rights are up for political debate, since a lot of people are vehemently against them.

In the books they pretty much confirm it takes more than just heat to destroy the One Ring.

Good forges burn hotter than lava, and dragonfire even hotter still, yet Gandalf said that the biggest, baddest dragon who ever lived Ancalagon the Black (who makes Smaug look like a whimpy little butterfly in comparison) wouldn’t be able to harm the One Ring.

It’s the magical tie to Orodruin/Mount Doom that allows for its destruction.

Surely a yard (3ft, ~90cm) is the most equivelant to a metre, not a foot

I know you don’t like the author (and I don’t either, she’s a twat), but it’s pretty undeniable that literally tens or hundreds of millions of people enjoy Harry Potter.

Nice try.

Look at their comment history. They’re a troll.

There’s a few. I watched the M4 book edit recently and it’s pretty great.

Certainly cut out a few scenes I liked, but its goal was to be book accurate and it does a great job IMO.

The list of changes is remarkable.

Even better

Yes, elves in the books are a lot more… human.

They feast, they sing, they dance, they do stupid things, they prank each other. If anything they seem the most playful race.

Shit, in The Hobbit, a soldier on duty gets so drunk that he passes out, allowing Bilbo and the Dwarves are able to escape in barrels.

PJ very much took the Elves and said “let’s make them into Star Trek Vulcans!”

Elves looking down on the other races in middle earth? Say it ain’t so!

See also Galadriel’s words in the prologue to Fellowship of The Ring: Three rings were given to the Elves - immortal, wisest, and fairest of all beings.

Far below the deepest delving of the Dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things. This one we shall call… Mr Tiddles.
