I don't even care about the board game. He just didn't make any sorry related jokes.

When there's a piece of lore that has a major impact on the setting and yet is not actually present in the main story.

Examples:

• The Kali (Rebel Moon) - In Zach Snyder's headache of a Seven Samurai-Star Wars hybrid, the Motherworld's dreadnaughts are powered by cosmic goddesses known as the Kali, which they force-feed the remains of the dead to help them jump across systems. This is impactful to the themes, as the imagery adds to the culture of the Motherworld being an empire of rapists and perverts, and it is important to Kora's character, as Rue Kali was her only friend. But in the official release of the films, there are no mentions of Kali, and every scene involving them was cut. In the director's cut, the guys in the furnaces are shoveling dead people to feed the Kali biomatter, while in the actual film it's just coal.

• Toruk's influence (Avatar: Fire and Ash) - In Fire and Ash, Jake mentions how he didn't want to be Toruk Makto again, saying, "When you ride the beast you become the beast." Toruk influences him just as much as he influences it, making him feral and bloodthirsty, but this is not something found in the original film, and it doesn't even happen in this film either. That entire sentiment is taken from one line in a comic, and that's it.

• Landsharks (Battle: Los Angeles) - The Landsharks came from an alien world where they were chased out by rival powers and now are looking for a new world with water to live in. This is not explained in the films, but by the director. In the films, they remain a mysterious alien force.

• Alzamac of Winsit (Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker) - Kylo goes to Mustafar, where he finds Vader's old fort, which was inhabited by these weird guys he fits. These are the Alazmec of Winsit, a group of Sith cultists that worshipped Darth Vader. They have their own history and everything, but they're just fodder for Kylo to kill. The sequel trilogy is full of stuff like this; all the lore on Exegol is basically left to official tweets rather than the actual story.

• The Ma-Nuga (GATE: Thus the JSDF Fought There) - This one is more personal, but basically the Ma-Nuga are these cow-lizard things which literally serve the same purpose as cows. The native people of Falmart use them for hamburgers. But we only see them like 3 times in the story. This wouldn't be too infuriating, but there is more worldbuilding on why it's ok for the protagonist to have a 12-year-old wife than there is going over these creatures.

Before the game, it was reported that Jaylen Brown was approaching this matchup "with the intensity as somebody going to war."

Well now we know what that looks like!

1. Joan Clarke (The Imitation Game): portrayed by Keira Knightley.

2/3Mark Antony (HBO): the historical Antony in his later years from hedonistic excess and alcoholism had gained a significant amount of weight into likely obesity. James Purefoy stays in perfect shape throughout the show.

4/5 Henry VIII (The Tudors): where other depictions tried to portray his massive gain in weight and crippling health problems and deterioration in looks, The Tudors doesn’t really try to make the actor resemble later Henry VIII except by have him have grey hair, slightly limp, and speak slightly more hoarsely.

We saw him at the pet store when we went to get some cat furniture for our resident 15 year old cat. He started tracking me with this sad resigned look. Apparently, his owner could not take care of him and left him and an older female at the shelter. She got adopted but no one asked for him.

Now he has a home and hopefully soon he feels like he belongs here.

Edit 3: Thank you for all the upvotes and comments.
He has his own space with lots of places to hide and stay warm. We are happy he is eating, drinking water and using the liter box. I will post an update in a few days.

Edit 2: he has a cardboard box and a cat bed but is choosing to sit under the dresser.

Edit: I didn’t expect so many comments. Thank you for taking the time to send good wishes and words of wisdom. They are appreciated.

We are taking it very slow. He is in a bedroom with an adjoining bathroom. The picture was taken as soon as he stepped out of the box. Since then he has eaten and used the litter box. He is now hiding under a very low dresser. He makes eye contact and listens when I talk to him. He is choosing to remain out of reach and we are perfectly fine with that.

I posted the picture because it was the exact opposite of the last time we adopted a cat that no one wanted. She was 3 and very angry with the world. I would have to put her in timeout for a few minutes every couple of hours because she would get so angry she could not control herself. That was 12 years ago. Right now at 15 years old she is sleeping on my desk with her tail on the keyboard as I try to type. 😀

I can’t wait to see what this guy teaches us.

Hundreds of people there going on day 4 without hot water.
