Please be mindful of those that haven't seen the latest episode. I had to edit some post to add spoiler tags.

Those who have yet to see the latest episode should stay the hell out of this thread.

This exactly. I think I am done with GoT after this last episode.

Hahaha, that's why I said it would be terrible if this were the last episode of the season. I'm rooting for John Snow now and

would love to see him get is fiery redhead back.

. I have not read the books. But the violence is true to the period.

I don't know if I can keep watching it even then. I was super disapointed in what happened, its almost funny when I look back at how seriously I took this show LOL.

I am still heavily invested in this show to give it up, yes I am sad and I won't lie hand over mouth moments at the end but I am hyped for next weeks finale and I like to think it karma will even out one day

I'm assuming midaeval Europe. Kings/Queens, Vlad the impaler, drawing and quartering.

1.

Yeah, I figure Kingsmoot's in. Preview for next week's episode has Asha Yara in it, I guess they're setting up the Iron Island storyline for next season.

2.

I didn't care about that. It's pretty clear they were sellswords anyway, and it could've been distracting if they kept the awful music.

3.

He went to take a leak. Presumably he's escaped. Actually quite certain of it, they've never killed off anyone who has further (important) involvement in the story.

Btw I hate the spoiler tags on this forum, why don't we use the expanded boxed ones? A fair warning, a semi-spoilerish image posted below (nothing really important) When Dany asks about Daario: tumblr_mntsmzH6Uh1qdyjvro1_250.giftumblr_mntsmzH6Uh1qdyjvro2_250.giftumblr_mntqnobZ1K1rqcgoso1_500.jpg Poor Jorah, I felt really bad for him.

That Simpson's reference is gold. Probably the best thing on the internet.

I'm assuming midaeval Europe. Kings/Queens, Vlad the impaler, drawing and quartering.

Interesting. You assume that any human civilization will progress through the same iron age.

Tell me what period Star Wars takes place?

Both are total fantasy. I didn't make an assumption, I equated the closest real period and violence to the age in the fantasy Game of Thrones. I'm not familiar with the iron age, but with regard to England and the violence which was par for the course for the age, it's probably closer to the High Middle Ages. Marrying to consolidate power and killing bloodlines to the throne also have real-world parallels. It's quite obvious the GoT world draws inspiration from aspects of actual historical periods.

Start Wars does not take place in a setting or period comparable to any real world historical age.

Uh, spoiler rules on neowin have ALWAYS been that if the episode has aired in the US, it doesn't need tags. Most of us still do it to be nice, but you're wrong here.

I never said it was a rule. An explicit rule that says "Spoilers must be discussed with spoiler tags." doesn't exist. People know that it's unfair to assume that because an episode has aired, everyone entering the thread has seen it. So many factors come into play like people from different countries or people from different time zones in North America. That's why whenever people discuss the latest episode of a show, they use spoiler tags. And that's why it's the generally accepted rule for The Media Room.

There's no issue in openly discussing a previous episode (the one before the latest one). And the same applies to movies. For example, discussing Iron Man 2 spoilers in an Iron Man 3 thread is acceptable. However, people don't openly discuss spoilers for Iron Man 3 just because it opened in one country over another.

It's a courtesy to those that haven't seen the latest episode and it doesn't take long to add the following:

Don't. There will be epic moments in Season 4. ;)

The emotional investment this show has elicited from so many is a testament to the writer(s) and the actors/actresses.

It truly is. I was hooked from the very first episode and my first shock came from seeing Ned Stark die. I was convinced that he was a main character and would somehow escape the clutches of death but I was wrong. I can safely say that I will never forget what happened in the latest episode.

Cleaned

I thought some of the pictures you guys posted were funny but unfortunately, I had to remove them. Otherwise this thread would turn into a "Game of Thrones random picture thread".

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By snowy owl · Posted

      I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
