Way of Kings is honestly a more like a prequel for the series. It’s pretty much ONLY setting up the characters and world building. So if you don’t get into that you might not finish.
Axehounds, Parshendi, chulls, chasmfiends, songlings, rockbuds, etc.
Oh and the generic “cremling”
You guys should read the Stormlight archives. Fuckin everything is a crab, even the plants.
16·10 months agoI think I licked a toilet bowl? I pretty much stopped playing truth or dare when I was like 12 though.
I don’t know the specifics behind it, but even if VPN does work, or accessing TT through a web app instead of an app, that’s still 1-2 hurdles for the average user to jump through for their fix.
Some people will just not bother and then peace out to instagram reels or YT shorts or just drop off that kind of social media.
It fully depends on how many users are “savvy” enough to navigate those hurdles and how badly they want to navigate those hurdles.
In my experience when you’re working with a dedicated user base and you make a significant change, you can expect to lose around half your audience. Barriers to entry are probably going to increase that number, but obviously this is anecdotal evidence for future events.
I was under the impression that the TT creator fund was very minimal anyway. Or at least it was gutted recently and used to be somewhat okay.
I rescind my downvote. Jolly good show, OP.
It’s a good meme. But how is it a science meme?
Eragon was my first foray into proper swords and sorcery fantasy after Harry Potter.
Are the books really that bad in your opinion? By no means do they reinvent the wheel, but I enjoyed the magic system and enjoyed the aspect of Dragon + Rider and that relationship we see between the two.
I haven’t read much other Fantasy besides LotR and Stormlight Archive, but I enjoy the Inheritance Cycle.
I started reading more when the Reddit API stuff happened. Meant to pick up Mistborn AGES ago at a friend’s behest and then went to Way of Kings after Mistborn Era 1 was over.
Haven’t looked back, and have barely read anything not written by Brando Sando since then.
I just read the 4 Stormlight Archives books this past year (in addition to the novellas) but I’m already itching to reread them.
I just give mine their food in batches. Usually a half cup in the morning and a half cup in the evenings (I have two cats).
If I leave out the same amount of food, such as if I’m leaving the house for a weekend trip, I will come back to hungry kitties.
I knew this was going to be top comment.
What age would you all suggest for reading LOTR to your kids?
I remember watching the movies when I was around 7 or 8 and the scene with the Urak-Hai hatching freaked me out so bad I didn’t watch the rest of the movies until I was 18.
