This movie is awesome:

Queen Meve of Rivia from Thronebreaker and the later Witcher novels is depicted like this in CDPR, with golden armor. It does not appear that any of her knights wear gold armor either. Various English kings wore golden armor suits as well, historically: In the books, Geralt stumbles into an ongoing battle that has nothing to do with him and is forced to fight on accident. After the battle he ends up getting knighted by Meve for his 'achievements' as Geralt of Rivia. The Thronebreaker cutscene shows Geralt smirking at Meve while she knights him. Then he deserts her army just like in the books. I just finished Book 1 a second time again and Sapkowski writes of Geralt's contempt for knights, similar in his mind as mafia enforcers with the feudal system as a criminal organization. The first time I saw this character trait is at the very beginning of Witcher 3 in White Orchard where Geralt meets the Nilfgaard Officer pretending to show concern for the peasants.

Looks like they took some inspiration from both dark souls and bloodborne.

I'm starting to watch Excalibur 1981. The artistic style is so similar to Dark Souls 1 that I think Miyazaki definitely got inspired by it. The film is genius level, like watching a lucid dream.

A cosplayer made Shani's outfit. Beautiful work!

All the books are on youtube, narrated by Peter Kenny the last time I checked. Sapkowski a few days ago said that he is working on Book 8 and will be done in 1 year. The 2 swords on his back varies in the books. He is usually wielding one Iron Sword with the Silver sword stored on Roach. If he needs silver he switches the sword. But he is written as carrying 2 swords on his back sometimes as well.

The golden statue costs around $100 with shipping & taxes. It is a limited edition with only 2000 copies. I have the normal Touissant Knight armor, looks like this: I searched around and it turns out that Gold armor was typically worn by Kings or high nobility. It seems to be more ceremonial/symbolic than practical. Damien's Touissant Captain's armor looks to be missing the breastplate. like padded leather, maybe with chain mail inside? I don't know. It seems that in general, the knights of the Touissant guard wear dark read and black stripes undernealth.

They casted a Chinese person for the important character of Milva in S3: Honestly this is my favorite look of Milva (cosplay girl, beautiful) Someone who looks like her but with an athletes' body:

Youtube is turning itself into more like Tiktok and heavily boosting Youtube shorts over their long form videos. This makes it less attractive to invest huge amounts of time to make high quality long form content. I think this will probably in the long run decrease the quality of the long form videos, like how streaming ruined films.

Vera has a very interesting and sexy body shape & butt. Sometimes I wonder if she edits her butt though.

The idea that if you have eaten hundreds of extra calories (eg. 600-300) the day before you skip breakfast the next day as the body already has excess glucose stored in the body (liver, muscles etc.) So this excess should be enough to skip meal 1 of the day or at least half it. So by the next day you are back on track again.

A very old trick I've been using is to delay eating anything in the morning until lunchtime whenever I overeat on the day before. It works.
