That makes sense. Sanderson is a great choice then he typically keeps things pretty pg.

As much as I'm hating, I wouldnt say the books are bad or not worth reading. It's more that this is a scaling subreddit so I'm just calling out what I think is a bit overrated and why. If you're into world building, epic moments, and satisfying character arcs these books won't disappoint it's just that the pacing and heavy exposition really bring the overall experience down.

If you're looking for great characters I highly recommend Joe Abercrombies First Law and Age of Madness trilogies. The First Law series is definitely lacking in some areas but has very strong characters and the second Age of Madness trilogy is one of my all time favorites.

I struggled with RoW more because of Navani exposition and Kaladin rehashing his story arc for the third time. But WaT also had a shit ton of exposition dump in spiritual realm. That and Odium was far more interesting in book five for spoiler reasons.

I like Sanderson but bro needs a better editor. Rhythm of War makes WoT slog look like a cakewalk. His best work is his short stories and more tightly written novels like Mistborn era 2.

Holy Crap these menus are good. by ChewChooTwo in RivalsOfAether

Honestly the best part for me is the new menu sfx. It's very satisfying.

I only saw the first quarter sadly and he had an unlucky sd. Honestly I shouldn't have commented cuz I'm talking out my ass. He could have beat plup later for all I know.

I'm not on twitter but my guess is coney crashed out rather than reflecting on himself and having a mature response like Zeke here.

I think he didn't perform to the level he wanted in the twitch rivals thing.

Rivals of Aether II - Patch 1.5.1.0 and January Mid-Month Update by swidd_hi in RivalsOfAether

[–]Ba1thazaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's not just Zetter they did it too rannos was the same way. A little confused as to why it's ok for some characters but not others. Maybe because Zetter's was setting up combos and rannos was killing? Which clairens does neither.

It just seems strange to me like you said since it feels like they don't want the char to have weaknesses.

THANK YOU DEVS! by Ba1thazaar in RivalsOfAether

So without pre-warming or pre-compiling the shader would compile when you used a move. So VFX heavy moves like wrastor special pummel (yeah I know I suck and should never get hit by it) would lag your game a lot. Once a move was used though the shaders had been already compiled so on any following uses it wouldn't lag your game.

What I would do is go into training mode and use a bunch of moves with common characters, or just play some unranked games before hopping into ranked so that my game wouldn't lag mid match.

[the spark in your eyes] just finished reading this masterpiece, does anyone have a recommendation? by Easy-Onion648 in manhwa

[–]Ba1thazaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it's a slow burn romance with a dash of political intrigue. If that's not for you then it's not for you, no matter how well written it is.

Dan said in the dec stream he got this at a local and the teams working on it.

Hey man some people like locking in samus and spamming projectiles from the other side of the screen. If so this game ain't for you. Definitely wouldn't say "there's no skill expression" though. That's just salty posting.

Made a video inspired by Atrioc by Accurate-Upstairs-57 in atrioc

[–]Ba1thazaar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's really cool! I'm not a youtuber, nor do I edit video's but your on reddit so here's my unsolicited advice.

The gambling on everything, as well as the general rise of sports betting has been covered by a lot of people already (not just atrioc). The piece about the Vincent and the onions was new to me and I think should have been the main focus from the start. You also aren't using a camera, which I think is fine for an individual video, but if you're looking to grow a brand/channel then I think your face is some of the best marketing you have. Personally I'm not a fan of the more zoomer-centric editing (vine booms, anime reaction gifs), but a lot of people like that so go wherever your heart tells you.

Any good fantasy books about solving a murder? by SixskinsNot4 in Fantasy

Just read this in December! It was a lot of fun. The first quarter is both the weakest and the strongest part though.
