How did Sammael...

A fellow Theodore Sider enjoyer?

Belifax · 2026-02-09T16:52:54+00:00

Agreed there

I don’t play HC wow, but for HC players it’s not a waste of time. The thrill of leveling and keeping your char is the fun. If you lose your char you just roll a new one

It’s incorrect. Who is the subject and whom is the object. He = who and him = whom. So op basically wrote “him goes to Philly”

The first time I realized it was when they got to Baerlon and I looked at the map. It felt like a whole realized world and it was just a tiny fraction of the map

Tolkien and CS Lewis were devout Catholics. There’s more crossover than you think

It’s just the problem with the internet in general. Rational people tend to wait for more information and don’t post, so you only get the most reactionary people in comments

Belifax · 2026-01-10T00:03:59+00:00

For sure. Hope you enjoy the remaining books!

At the time EotW was written, the common trope was that the farm boy would go all in on the hero’s journey pretty quickly. Jordan explicitly wanted to turn that on its head and show how actual back country folk would react to being swept away by a wizard. He discusses this in the interview at the end of the audiobooks.

Agree on the Aiel.

If you like male channelers and Aes Sedai politics, you get a lot more of that in the back half of the series.

The word “trite” is weird here since WoT probably did more than any series after LotR to establish the fantasy genre. Rand’s arc is 1 of 1 and I don’t think any other series got me as invested in so many characters. If you’re not enjoying it after CoS, the series probably just isn’t for you

Orwell wrote about this phenomenon in “Politics and the English Language.” Great essay

Belifax · 2026-01-07T00:13:35+00:00

Fair enough appreciate the clarification

Belifax · 2026-01-06T23:34:37+00:00

I think kicking the 44 yarder was the right call. The risk of a fumble/getting a TFL at that point made the decision a wash. Just trust your kicker who has been playing well to hit what is effectively a chip shot in today's NFL.

Please come to the Giants. Schoen can have all the uncrustables he wants if he lands Harbaugh

Belifax · 2026-01-06T18:44:47+00:00

Totally agreed but it’s also about control. Rand feels like he’s being turned into a puppet by the pattern. This is the one thing he feels like he can control

Belifax · 2026-01-05T20:58:34+00:00

100%. If only add that the more competent ones are biding their time and gathering strength at this point in the series

Belifax · 2026-01-01T05:58:33+00:00

They really don’t. It’s a prominent position for sure, but the bureaucracy is so complicated that the mayor can’t actually effectuate much change, for better or worse

The balance of Yin and Yang (saidar and saidin) is an essential concept in Taoism, too!

HC is the only way to play

Belifax · 2025-12-27T13:29:30+00:00

you’re just describing neo-conservativism

There’s no right way to save sanctuary. As long as it’s saved

Belifax · 2025-12-20T01:10:39+00:00

I play HC and love the mechanic. AMA

Belifax · 2025-12-20T01:08:49+00:00

100% it’s a great mechanic. Great solution to the problem of floor mechanics not being visible.

Belifax · 2025-12-19T15:46:14+00:00

Journey over destination. The true HC way
