Most of us have vastly different goals than Micah, it is what it is. I appreciate his play style, but it's very niche.

I mean, I ran that simulation a thousand times, and hobbits never saved the world. I think the author was using metacurrency.

Sam, actually, is also exceptional. He's not of royal bloodline, but he's also not one of those dirty urban people. Tolkien has a...
