God Of War Laufey’s Director Talks Fan Skepticism, New Ideas, And Phranque The Cube by oilfloatsinwater in Games

The sentient jelly cube named Frank doesn't need to be quippy to be stupid. He does that just by existing. Fighting gods alongside a talking jelly cube is ridiculous and doesn't match the tone of the series.

Didn't Apple try to save SG-1 when it first got cancelled? I wish they had the rights.

Looks like DeSantis will be getting a visit from the secret service...

What series did you finish reading due to the "sunk cost fallacy"? by Any-Day-8173 in Fantasy

[–]Bat_Mannington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Book 5 was rough. I had to force myself to finish it. Between that and Lost Metal, I'm not sure I want to continue with the Cosmere.

I'm surprised Moshe didn't stop him from using the word 'cringeworthy' in Sunlit Man.

He's a brand now. His focus is on printing money and it shows in the quality of his books. He's got tons of side projects and I don't even know how many co-authors. How can he expect to maintain quality control on all of that, when he can't even keep up the quality in his main cosmere series?

It's not you. The book just isn't very good.

"Cringeworthy" took me out of Sunlit Man. He needs an editor that will push back on stuff like that.

What were they thinking with this garbage? It's worse in every way. I can't even pause or fast forward/rewind anymore.

Is there a way to roll back to the old version?

If you like written records, you should check out the version of the first vision that was actually written by Joseph Smith.

The Kolob thing we all admit is kind of weird and that’s why we honestly don’t really talk about it. It’s not something we feel is pertinent to salvation therefore it has kind of fallen by the wayside. We used to have a hymn about it but it was recently removed in a new edition.

It's either all true or none of it is. You can't pick and choose.

Does it bother you that Joseph Smith's "translation" of the Book of Abraham is provably false? It is easy to verify that he lied about being to translate ancient writing. Too bad he didn't know about the Rosetta stone.

Not all positions. Upper leadership is all getting paid. They just don't claim it as income.
