Is the Switch version of The Witcher (The Switcher?) decent
I hear it's a actually a real decent port. All the DLC, and nothing cut, which is pretty remarkable given the hardware.
Most astonishing about it is how it runs smoothly and... Look, you're not gonna mistake it for any of the other versions, but it looks better than I thought it could.
In the books there is a mage who prefers the melee but it's unusual, horribly effective though like helplessly beats Geralt to bits with a stick
I liked the one guy in the show who's magic power was Infinite Swords.
By which I mean I found it funny because that is a terrible use of magic. Using it to do something lots of people already do without magic. And most people who fight with swords only need one!
Both of you are actually describing the same guy, Vilgefortz.

Huh. It's a shame he got nerfed for the show.

I installed too many mods and Witcher 3 won’t work and I’m too lazy to fix it. As is the cycle.
kind of an abrupt end, and I was a little surprised the main three never actually wind up all together before it ended, but I generally liked the season quite a lot
Also, Disney+ has only just started, so the audience is smaller.
It's not even available in a lot of countries. In Europe it starts in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain at the end of march. That's about as much population as the US just there. So apples and oranges
I love the little things, like Geralt bartering with the random village dude in ep 2

Probably my favourite incidental Geralt moment is in episode 4 or 5 I think, when he drinks some bad ale in a tavern, spits it out, and just gives the barman this look, like how dare you
People made fun of me for recommending this show as a watch over the holidays and then all demanded we finish the season over a few days. It was fun! I think the timelines were slightly overly fancy, but it was also fun to be like oh dang this is during the time when this other character was doing whatever.
Edit: One thing I'd like to see a bit more of (though I'm guessing I won't because it seems like it's trying to stick mostly to an overarching storyline) is Geralt investigating/prepping/being surprised by the actual monster. I'd like to see something like "ah shit I drank the potion that gives me night vision because I thought this thing hated sunlight but now I'm fighting it blind after it ran out of the cave" or whatever.

See, I took that as the barman spit in it or something, and Geralt noticed.
So I know all the "Fuck"s get a bunch of recognition, for good reason, but I think my favorite line might be in the second episode.
Jaskier is being his normal self and annoying the shit out of Geralt while he's trying to find the devil. Jaskier asks Geralt what they were looking for again and Geralt just responds "Blessed silence" in the most exasperated voice I've ever heard.

Spoiler warning: several dozen extremely short and out-of-context spoilers for Witcher Season 1 inclusive
Geralt and Yennifer are in the bath together trading barbs.
It ends with Geralt telling Yennifer that he'll be on his way once he's paid for her services. She tells him that his company and conversation was payment enough.
For some reason this seems to really piss Geralt off and he storms out. I don't understand why what she said was upsetting.
Also I didn't like the acting in that scene very much. It kinda felt like Cavil was just waiting to deliver his lines instead of responding organically to a conversation.

A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Personally, I'm intrigued by this so-called Valley of Penis.

Think I might try reading the books again soon. I read Last Wish forever ago, and I have Blood of Elves on my kindle but have never started it. I know there's another book between those two chronologically, does anyone know if it matters whether I just start with Blood of Elves or should I read the other one first?
I have seen four episodes of this. I like the characterization and (most of) the performances a lot. Great production design, killer music, good shit all around.
I am absolutely baffled by their refusal to use chyrons indicating the different time periods. I am not sure what the disorientation is meant to convey, emotionally - it just comes off as obtuse and confusing. My wife isn't familiar with any of the source material, and keeps going, "Wait, when is this? Why are they telling the story this way?" The latter is a pretty valid question, I think!
We're sticking with the show and largely enjoying it, but it's such a weird decision.

From what I could pick up from context. A mage like her who left the brotherhood. One of her avenues of treatment to restore her fertility.
I hear it's a actually a real decent port. All the DLC, and nothing cut, which is pretty remarkable given the hardware.

Henry Cavil does a fine enough job in the show but... c'mon.
Someone explain what a ‘demand expression’ is that this article is using at a metric
It's some bullshit number they made up because they don't have access to actual usage data.
It's not even available in a lot of countries. In Europe it starts in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain at the end of march. That's about as much population as the US just there. So apples and oranges
You'd think as a bard he'd have one or two more.
That weren't just one-off joke rhymes for passersby to boo him for.
Here you go: Her sweet kiss.

Especially in terms of "fuck". Those get even better along the way.
Everyone built up the Dandelion song so much that I assumed it would be underwhelming and 3 days later it’s still in my goddamn head
Hmm.
Episode 5:
It ends with Geralt telling Yennifer that he'll be on his way once he's paid for her services. She tells him that his company and conversation was payment enough.
For some reason this seems to really piss Geralt off and he storms out. I don't understand why what she said was upsetting.

The stare is at about 1:45 and it's hilarious!
That whole scene is great. The Welsh dude is a ledge.
oh daddy have mercy
