The start of the silmarillion is just creationist gibberish. All the good stories in the book have been published in a better form elsewhere by now.

Not even the Simarillion, just the LotR books themselves! I just couldn't do it.

Its a lovely stucco job op. The lines are control joints that are supposed to keep it from cracking and should be present at minimum every 144 square ft. So if you have a large flat area next to windows (typical), you place the control joints to prevent cracking of the large area, and continue them as architectural elements in the smaller areas divided by windows.

Two problems here: first, his hosed up window design means hosed up control joint layout because poo poo doesn’t line up properly or with any sort of cohesive design. Second, the work is janky as gently caress—the control joints are probably done lovely but it’s hard to tell from the artifacting of the image...but look at the turret. That left side of the front wall near the corner is so dimpled it looks like back of an obese persons leg. His house has cottage cheese thighs for walls.

And to be honest that is probably the best time of day and angle he could get. Go there earlier in the morning and from a more offset angle and the shadows cast by that light are gonna show every single wobble in those walls.


And this, what, why...EIFS bands and window surrounds (the raised rectangles) on this side but wood casement windows and no EIFS bands on the other. And the vertical placement of the horizontal EIFS bands...they bisect (or not) the windows at different heights and none of them line up...like what the gently caress why, why wouldn’t you do them the same.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

e: also the placement of the exhaust vent makes no loving sense unless his ceiling is lower than the windows and underground your electrical secondary you cheap gently caress goddamn sorry for the long post in the meme thread

Fascinating. The closest I think we get to stucco in the UK is pebbledash, which I think is similar except it makes your house look like it was built out things that were demolished in the 1970's.

Trying to figure out whether or not an emotionally scarred madman who will plunge the world into eternal war so that soldiers will always have a place in society is better or worse than the options we have now. I mean, we've already got that in Afghanistan, among many other places.

Isn't the Tolkein estate super protective of the Silmarillion? Or was that just with New Line Cinema and the shifty deal the got? I know they literally weren't even allowed to say the names of the other two Wizards in the Hobbit because their names aren't mention in the Hobbit or its indexes.

This is a few pages back but yes the Tolkein estate is fortunately very protective which stops the whole canon from being exploited in the shittiest way possible.

Basically Amazon have been given permission to use the second age as a setting on the proviso that nothing they write changes the established canon. That's still pretty free range since Tolkein wrote gently caress all about the second age, basically all we know is that Sauron invaded Eriador, the Numenorians came and fought him off twice, the first time legit then the second time as a trick where Sauron allowed himself to be captured and taken back to Numenor so he could corrupt the Numenoreans. Cue the war that you see in the opening of LOTR and Sauron getting the chop.

That leaves Amazon plenty of space to make up new characters and plots and poo poo so long as all those events still take place.

e: I also remember reading somewhere that they've been banned from using any characters depicted in LOTR or the hobbit so that means no Sauron on screen.

let's see, the good guys have a galaxy-spanning religion commanded from a giant temple on most important planet and the bad guys have two dudes who skulk around wearing cloaks. clearly "balance" means killing those two guys a duhhh duhh doyyy duh duh

I wonder how Amazon ended up with stricter usage guidelines than EA did for its Lord of the Rings assassins creed games.

Why would Sauron even make a ring that would resize itself to fit anyone? He didn't plan to share it, did he? He didn't plan to lose it. He didn't plan to get his finger cut off. Wouldn't it make more sense for the ring to just fit his own finger?

No, he didn't plan to lose it, but making it so anyone could wear it and so that if they did he could see them and they would be drawn to him would make it easier to get it back if he did.

The ring has a will of its own and is also super magic. I always assumed it resizes itself because it fuckin loves to be worn and corrupt people

why even make it a piece of jewelry just like enchant the skeleton. A ring can fall off or be stolen, but it takes a lot more effort to lose your skeleton or for someone to steal your skeleton.

Maybe it's just like, you put enough magic into a ring, it'll resize regardless of what the magic is.

Because he knew he’d probably get fatter as he got older. Or maybe he was already kinda chunky and he was planning on losing weight. Also he was taking into account water bloat. The fact that you, a human, didn’t consider the potential sausagification and/or skeletonation of fingers, yet he did, is exactly why Sauron was such a credible threat.

Sauron had the ability to change his shape and form and presumably didn't want to take the ring off to do that.

If he can see anyone who wears the ring, do you think he can see himself when he wears it? Never need a mirror.
