No vengeance. No more destruction. It's time to rebuild. Tolkien's words are pure, ordinary wisdom. (spoilers, I guess, for a 70-year-old book)

@theWellRedMage Can Saruman permanently die though, if he is one of the istari?

@RichardZen112 There's this theme in Tolkien about how evil reduces the being of something over time until they can no longer take form or shape, no longer exert their will on others, and that happened to Melkor for sure. Here it's a long reduction of Saruman until his life is reduced to vapor.

@theWellRedMage This your grace and integrity dude?

@CoolConjurer Being happy I wasn't destroyed. Yes, it absolutely is. You'd note in that video I specifically said no vengeance and do not go after anyone. That's not your principles, I guess.

@theWellRedMage What happened to your video on cancel culture being dead?

@theWellRedMage Yeah... But Wormtongue slays him so Tolkien is having his cake and eating it too while Frodo's hands are clean... And the hobbits immediately slay Wormtongue thereafter which wraps it up. Regardless, the Hobbits coming home and putting things back on order was a growth moment.

@theWellRedMage Way to handle an extremely adverse situation with grace and integrity. Rare characteristics nowadays. Soldier on, and Godspeed.

@theWellRedMage lmao this pompous bigot actually thinks his boring navel gazing has scholarly value

Remake these games

The face of a 48 year old, gaming, former United States Marine, soccer/American football loving, Garbage Pail Kids collecting, Grateful Deadhead tattooed hippie. I will never give up any of these things and am the happiest I have ever been in my life. ✌🏻♥️

Not sure if he'll see this but I want to speak to @Retrogamebrews. We haven't spoken in years and much was said in the past that I'd unsay if I could but the man stood up for me and stuck out his neck against the mob, despite everything, and that's REAL kindness. Thank you, Ryan.

Where's the Golden Axe remake?
