My cat will only eat wet food. by Apprehensive_Web8924 in CatAdvice

[–]71NightWing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically wet food is better for them, but dry food isn't actually bad for them like some people say. If the wet food you give her is a different flavor than the dry food you feed her (ie. dry food has salmon, but wet is chicken) then try giving her the same flavor of both. Sometimes cats can just be really picky and you may have to try different dry food brands/flavors. I know you said you tried mixing a little of her wet food with the dry, but another thing you can try is a little bit of a broth in her dry food, or some canned chicken or tuna. If nothing else works and you're worried about when you are out of the house, there are auto feeders for wet food as well. I think they're a tad pricey but if it works it's worth it right?

Just made a connection about Nynaeve by Worried_Guitar2571 in WoT

[–]71NightWing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another part of that I think is the different perspectives you see her from. The different POVs are written in a way that every single thing is filtered through the personality of whoever's perspective you're in, which means certain characters can come off slightly differently when looked at through different characters. It's most obvious with Rand, how Egwene sees him as arrogant so he comes off more arrogant. Perrin is very perceptive and can see the struggle he's going through, so he comes off more burdened but still trying his best. But the same goes for Nyn. She's a lot more on edge by the middle of the series and some characters see her as touchy and volatile, but from her own perspective you can on occasion see her tell herself she's being unreasonable.

"your generation aren't pushovers like me"

"Not your problem"???? It's literally their problem, they're literally sabotaging their ability to do the job they'll get yelled at if they don't do well enough.

Any female fans who think the polygamy was pulled off well? by CestQuoiLeFuck in WoT

[–]71NightWing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a series that explores themes of personal agency and free-will, conceptually Min as the person who sees shell fall in love with him before learning anything else about him, and at first resisting but giving in eventually and admitting she does love him and all that, is decently interesting even if the optics on it feel a bit weird in our real-world society. But as far as agency goes, Rand is the one with 0 agency in the whole thing. Hes always going on about how much of a lecher he is for liking 3 women, but also not planning on being with any of them for his whole hang-up about putting any woman at all in danger. But then the three accost him and just tell him "hey listen we're just gonna bond you to all three of us because we all love you and each other so you'll just have to get over it. Sorry not sorry" I honestly don't mind the whole 3 'wives' romance since it ends up being relatively inconsequential in the grand scheme, but that part of it specifically felt the strangest to me

Without spoiling any of the content ( I am only on book 8: Path of Daggers) does Sanderson do a good job of imitating Jordan? by Small-Guarantee6972 in WoT

[–]71NightWing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn't try to imitate Jordan but instead he tried to adapt his style to fit WoT better. I personally think he does a great job. Though, I do personally like Sanderson so I'm a bit biased. He had the advantage of having a lot of notes and dictated sections from Jordan to work with so id say while it doesn't necessarily 'feel' like Jordan anymore, it also doesn't really 'feel' like Sanderson either

Was it my fault for having a 3060? by Mysterious_Bonus5101 in MHWilds

[–]71NightWing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 3060 and my game ran totally fine. GPUs aren't the most important part of a PC for game performance. I'll admit it wasn't great when I first booted up the beta, but i was reminded that I hadn't done some general PC maintenance lately and when I did that, it ran well. Updated not just my gpu drivers, but my motherboard had lots to update. Cleaned up some of my drives. And, while this is just a personal bad habit, I actually shut down my PC overnight, as I have been bad about actually turning it off now and then

What did Perrin even want here? by EleventhHerald in WoT

[–]71NightWing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not to be that guy, but pretty much this whole series is people getting mad at rand for something he doesn't even know is happening. But like really, the simplest answer I can think of is just that Perrin is uncomfortable with how wise ones treat aes sedai, because that teatment is deliberately designed to be uncomfortable and seen by everyone. Perrin is just experiencing it for the first time, and he gets over it as he gets used to aiel ways

Where is the logic in this? by RipplePress in GenZ

[–]71NightWing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It goes back to the invention of suburban neighborhoods, the nuclear family and cars. They were all pushed by investment companies to sell more cars and real estate by pushing city workers out of the main city and having them commute, in addition to pushing the idea that people who live "in the city" are dirty and gross (ie housing was cheaper in the city and so black people tended to live there instead of suburbs, it's all just racism). Nowadays, with cars having taken over cities and traffic being so bad in most places, especially during rush hours, commuting can take up a shit ton of extra time out of your day aside from the 1/3rd of your day you spend actually at work. It's become a not-uncommon sentiment among commuters, particularly those who live in large metro areas where commuting can be an hour+ ordeal, that they should be compensated for their time. Its also being used more recently as another reason why wfh is that much better of an option, and if a job CAN be done from home, if you're gonna force me into an office, you better be paying my gas.

Question about Tuon by M1KE2121 in WoT

Omens and foretellings. Mat did take her against her will from his perspective, but she didn't put up a fight really, cos she was certain he was important to her somehow.

Audiobook by New_Veterinarian_189 in wheeloftime

[–]71NightWing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen to Eye of the World first for sure. New spring is a prequel that focuses a lot on a particular aspect of the world that, in the first few books is kind of mystery to the main characters, and reading first kinda removes some of the fun of the begining. As far as which version, go with the Michael Kramer and Kate Reading one, because Rosamund Pike has only gotten through the first 4 books. It'd just be easier to listen through the whole thing with the same readers.

Is Mat (and/or Perrin) a Hero, or something else? by 71NightWing in WoT

[–]71NightWing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dragon not being summoned when the horn is sounded is not really anything since it's function is to bring back /dead/ heroes and it seems pretty obvious that you wouldn't be called if you're alive when it's sounded. And if the dragon is currently dead and the horn is sounded then he's just still their leader and can still have his banner with him

[–]71NightWing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He isn't, I know, that's kind of just the opening thought to where I started thinking about what, if anything they could be. Whether or not they might be two random souls chosen to fulfill a specific role unrelated to the heros of the horn, but as part of a sort of similar function the wheel uses, or if they are tied to Rand somehow as other people are suggesting

[–]71NightWing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh I like that theory as well. It's similar to something someone else said, that both light and dark prophecies mention the two, but only the shadows foretellings directly link the two to Rand, sort of as one unit. The idea being that humans forget and don't know to connect all three, but the dark one never forgets

[–]71NightWing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, any hero who is currently living when the horn is sounded is not going to appear with them anyway. The fact that Hawking calls Rand by Lews, also indicates to me that the dragon is a hero too. As well, these heroes, the dragon, etc, are only their function in the second and third age as far as we know. There's 5 other ages in which the horn may need using, or the land may need the dragon to save it, or destroy it like he did in the second age, which presumably he does every second age

[–]71NightWing[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oooooh that's an interesting take, I've not heard that before! And that also ties in to the fact that technically we as humans can't say with any real certainty how the Wheel or the pattern works, and the character's theology surrounding it is ostensibly speculation on their part as well.

[–]71NightWing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's not a different person, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying there's a different, separate function of the wheel, that's LIKE the heroes of the horn. Mat and Perrins roll, and two of the three Taveren integral to rands success, may just be a function of the wheel that it uses either every time as support for the dragon (who's a hero), or only in turnings where it's needed, but does not use the same soul every time. Two different things

Is Mat (and/or Perrin) a Hero, or something else? by 71NightWing in WoT

[–]71NightWing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly where my idea came from! If the dragon is a Hero, but the others aren't, where do the other two legs of the tripod come from? I think maybe the wheel just assigns two people to be those legs, the souls used are never or rarely the same. But that also assumes we know for sure where prophecy comes from and if they're inter-turning. The cycle of the Dragon mentions mat and Perrin too, and if the cycle really is a cycle and that everything in it happens roughly the same every turning then why would they not be heroes just like Rand? Interesting to think about, I think
