I lean more towards Aemon.

A few of the YouTube comments also make a good point that it's possible Lyanna didn't know that Rhaegar's son was dead at the time, so it would be strange to then have the second son also be named Aegon.

The cabin scene happens in the Paths same as the Armin meeting. It's Eren and Mikasa "dreaming" of the life they weren't able to have together. Similar to Eren and Armin visiting the far away places they had dreamed of when reading Armin's book together.

The cabin scene would've happened in a timeline where Mikasa had confessed her feelings to Eren when they were in Marley together. When Mikasa calls him family. If Mikasa had confessed her feelings instead, Eren would've left everything behind to go and live in peace for the last four years Eren had left before his Titan timer ran out. Of course as a result, in that hypothetical timeline, Eren doesn't go forward with the rumbling and he therefore gives up his ability to guarantee his friends' safety.

The thing is, there is no alternate timeline in AOT. The future Eren saw when kissing Historia's hand was the only timeline that would happen. Mikasa wouldn't confess her feelings, Armin and Eren wouldn't be able to look at the wonders of the world together, and Eren would always follow through with the Rumbling, dooming himself while saving his friends in the process.

Since the power to wipe memories doesn't work on Mikasa, it would've happened right at the end just before Mikasa knew Eren's head was in the mouth.

Watched this one last night before going to bed. Woke up this morning and haven't been able to think of anything else today. The show nailed it. I generally liked the ending when I read the manga, but seeing it all animated last night, I can't think of this story being told any other way. It was perfect for me.

This was a frustrating article to read. It didn't give me any policy information about the old/new candidates and spent the whole time talking about how the two losers lost because of scandals and discontent by voters with the city council. I basically have no idea if the headline is true or not because I didn't get any info to tell me otherwise.

Might just be me, but it seemed like her whole demeanor changed too after she came back from WBW. A lot more upbeat and funny - just like she was in clone wars.

Surely it's not the last we see of Hayden this series, right?

I've seen some folks namedrop the "Not a Podcast" podcast. I haven't listened to it myself, so I'm not sure if it's just strictly a re-read of the chapters or if there's additional discussion to go along with each episode.

Thanks for giving us a topic to discuss - hoping this community will pick up eventually.

100% necessary character that I see being the true conflict/reason that Danny finally goes to Westeros. We saw what happened when they left his character out of the show, and I think it was the 1st big mistake that led to contrived plot points D&D had to come up with to still fit in George's overall plan.

I've watched a few good videos from Alt Shift X and In Deep Geek. I'd say give their channels a look.

I did have some connection issues maybe ~7-10 days ago (would fall under the article's time frame). I'd have to unplug/replug my phone to get it to work. I didn't think much since I've had the problem in the past that ended up being a bad cable. Haven't had to do that in about 3-4 days now though so can't really conclude anything.

On a related note though, Android Auto and Mazda's rotary dial don't always work the best. Waze is hit or miss with the controls which is a damn shame. AA itself is a bit cumbersome to navigate. Just one of those I have to get used to I guess.

Just finished up Assassin's Creed 2 - my all-time favorite game but first time playing since I had my Xbox 360. I remembered the free-running/parkour being a bit finicky but this time around it was just infuriating. Also had a hard time with some of the controls being bound correctly (navigating the map being the worst offender). I still recommend the game because the campaign, the modern day story, and the historical conspiracies sub-plot are just too good IMO. I just also found a good chunk of my time spent yelling at Ezio to jump where I wanted him to go.

Started up Dinkum for some casual play - just have an hour or so played but seems to be good so far. Not sure how much I'll play of it - I get kind of bored with this style of game. Looking for some pointers with getting started. (Same thing happened with Stardew Valley for me)

Spyro Reignited has been really fun to pickup for quick play sessions. I do get more stutters than I'd expect on the Deck when loading levels. Think my graphics are all set to medium so prob need to tinker to get those smoothed out. Definitely recommend this game though.
