Only the most recent.

I also have never had any issues with game breaking bugs like that. I've encountered some glitches but nothing a save+reload couldn't fix. Everything just resets to its normal spawn point.

Right, and for pronouns you don't just put apostrophe s after. So you don't make "it" possessive by adding apostrophe s just like you don't add apostrophe s to "he" or "him" to make it possessive.

If you treat the pronoun "it" like a regular (non-pronoun) noun instead of like other pronouns, that is itself an exception.

As "its" is used to indicate possession by "it", "its" is an exception to apostrophe-s construction as used to indicate possessive forms.

Most, if not all, pronouns work that way though.

"The man's arm" becomes "his arm" not "him's arm". "The woman's arm" becomes "her arm" not "her's arm". Similarly, "the robot's arm" becomes "its arm" not "it's arm".

I don't really care if people use "it's" instead of "its" , but I don't think it's a unique exception. The only thing that's unique is that it is pronounced the same way as if you tacked an apostrophe and an s on the end. If we used the word "hims" instead of "his", I'm sure people would start putting an apostrophe in there too.

Everything about that episode is incredible. It absolutely deserved the three Emmy awards it won (best writing, best lead actor, best supporting actress).

I can think of so many more "or shit, the scene where" sentences you could add to that paragraph. It's just one incredible scene after another. So much happens in such a short time but it doesn't feel rushed—you just feel things rapidly spiraling out of control in such a visceral way.

I should have worded that better. I meant that he's not a huge fan of ASOIAF so it's quite different from the WoT situation.

He talked about this 8 years ago on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/4uwjq9/spoilers_everything_twow_isnt_coming_this_year_is/d6lotl1?context=3

He agrees with you. It's not his style, he doesn't think he's the right person for the job, and would decline if asked to do it.

And to the point made by @Albbi@lemmy.ca, at the time he had only read the first book so it doesn't seem that he's in the "huge fan" category.

Maybe something has changed since then but I really doubt it.

I just entered spring year 2 and I'd say things are going well.

I started building sprinklers in the fall but I'm up to 20 now so I should be able to sell quite a few more crops than previous seasons. Also built a few fish smokers which has definitely boosted my fishing income.

No animals other than my cat and the fish in the tank that I put in my bedroom, but I bought a silo during the winter in preparation for raising some animals in year 2. That should make it easier to lean into cooking now that I got the first house upgrade too.

Pretty soon I'm going to marry Penny. I haven't gotten a ton of progress with other townsfolk yet but I'd like to boost my relationship with Pam because I think she could use a friend if Penny moves out.

That's actually why Mr T adopted his moniker.

I think about my father being called "boy", my uncle being called "boy", my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called "boy". So I questioned myself: "What does a black man have to do before he's given respect as a man?" So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T, so the first word out of everybody's mouth is "Mr."

They love Madison Square Garden. Every year for New Year's Eve they play 4 shows there, plus they did a 13 show residency there in 2017 and a 7 show residency in 2023.

Yeah, everyone is saying Red Rocks but they haven't even played there since 2009. They've played at Dicks 45 times since 2009 because they do 3-4 shows every Labor Day weekend.
