GRRM wanted several more seasons to finish the story, but the show runners rushed it.
The Dunk and Egg show that came out recently is based on finished material. Pretty sure house of the dragon actually has something to draw from as well. I don't think they have enough solid material to build the whole franchise they are planning though, if I remember correctly there was at least one more show in the works in addition to the movie. Eventually it will rely on name recognition alone, George probably doesn't have that many years left and I wouldn't say HBO's writers haven't exactly earned audiences trust with their Game of Thrones record.
For what it's worth, the books are excellent. They do suffer from a Tolkien-ish level of detail at times, and were also written by an extremely horny degenerate.

I'm trying to finish the only thing I haven't beat in the game - master mode trial of the hero, (started via the master sword pedestal).
I tried it like 15 times when I set up the emulator then took a break, maybe I need to go back soon. Or maybe I should finally kill Miquella in Elden Ring, or the dlc bosses in Hollow Knight, or finish Silksong. Maybe there is some sort of pattern here, namely my lack of extreme skill and mild masochism...

StarCraft was one of the main games of my childhood, and was my introduction to online gaming... If you've never played it, I would highly recommend trying it out someday. I've heard it described as the chess of the future.
In retrospect, I probably should have gone with WarCraft due to the fact that WC3 just got a new expansion like 23 years later. Damn shadow drops!

My first gaming memory was watching my Dad kill Ganon when I was like 4 years old. He gave me his Super Nintendo a few years later, and Zelda quickly became my favourite game (Super Mario World gets an honorable mention... also Super Metroid, but I didn't play that until like 2015). I beat Link to the Past on the SNES a few times, and then when I was a bit older I got a GameBoy Advance SP (Silver) and beat the game several times there.
Like others here, I played using the zelda3 remake. I messed around with several shaders throughout the game, and ended up deciding to use Tanuki Mario as my main character. I last played this game around 8 years ago on Switch, and probably in 2014 or 2015 on 3DS. Everything still stands up in my mind gameplay wise - the only thing that has soured for me slightly since last time was the soundtrack, mostly due to Chrono Trigger's violent climb to the top of my best video game music list last year.
My goal going into the game was to beat it without dying, but it would seem that I misremember how fairies worked. I didn't ever get a game over screen, but to my horror at the end of the game I was informed that I had died 8 times!? I could have sworn fairy-assisted deaths didn't count. Maybe that was just a GBA thing.
Deaths aside, I am still giving this game at least a 9/10, and wouldn't consider anyone's gaming education complete without it.

I'm mostly just happy Justice is composing the soundtrack. I'll probably wait for the pc version though.
