While I'm not familiar with the practices of Tai Chi and its history, I am familiar with the stories and mysticism of "inner" martial arts and chi due to my cultural background. I've always been fascinated with martial arts and kung fu, and have recently taken up karate and its cultural histories. I also have a degree in kinesiology and will agree that the human body is such a complex and fascinating subject. The word "chi" or "ki" literally means air or in the context of martial arts, breath, and I will associate it as such. In every martial arts that I've seen, breathing is always a subject in the forefront. But as far as listening to tall tale stories and feats that chi can achieve, I always smile and nod but take it with a grain of salt

Hey cut him some slack. He just wanted to be a father really bad. Often male eagles will assist in taking turns brooding the eggs with the mothers and many other parental duties

Probably none of that, since a ring is made for a finger. It probably magically detects if it has made contact with one. Now, if the question was what if it was put on a severed finger, then that is something to think about

Can't go feral when you're on a mission to find the best food stops that the wasteland has to offer

That's a good observation. Admittedly, I thought that episode was funny and memorable but retrospectively, I do agree that he de-railed the whole interview format and that is ashame. Especially since Conan even said that Sean is a great interviewer

Hey I understand where you're coming from. I also believe that's one of the areas the sequel can improve upon. With a bigger team and budget, hopefully we'll get that

I remember playing the first one when it was just available for early access and the gameplay was understandably rough. I played a little bit and then forgotten about until last year when there were some buzz about it again. I brushed off the dust and got to experience such an immersive medieval world. 10/10 in my book

I read that in Matt Berry's voice and it fits exceptionally well lol

Reminds me of this video where the guy gobbles at a turkey farm and can't keep it together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9zvgcOrTtw

I haven't actually seen it but it sounds like the premise of Her

 
 

I feel like an oversight or a missed opportunity regarding Astarion was that he couldn't perform Vampire Bite on Cazador during the Ascension ritual fight. Like I understand that you can't use it on undead but with the trouble that the game established with Astarion explaining how a vampire spawn can turn into a true vampire, you would think that biting Cazador would be an exception. I think it would've been a great and ironic twist for Astarion to be able to become his own master that way as well. But oh well, I'm guessing it would've lessen the impact of certain outcomes to Astarion's questline.
