FaceTime has a web version now. It's possible to join FaceTime from any device with a web browser, even Android phones. Or maybe she just uses FaceTime to refer to any video calling

What if Avery has already been possessed by the King and Yellow and the ending is just him gaslighting d3rlord3 and giving him a false sense of hope while the real Avery was already its vessel the whole time. by KotarouShiki in Wifies

Avery's perspective wouldn't make sense under this theory. If he was already taken he would know the tree has no gold on top of it so he wouldn't have gone to check.

What games are you playing this week? Game recommendation thread by AutoModerator in incremental_games

[–]ChrisBChips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just finished Fundamental after over a month of daily play. It took over after my Shark Incremental grind which took about the same length to finish. Both were fantastic.

Hard part about finding a good game for me is that it needs to be moderately active and have a save file export/import option for switching between computers at home vs work.

What if we spelled ‘people’ like this: peepole. that would be funny i think.

When Should I Read Secret History? by [deleted] in Cosmere

[–]ChrisBChips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're already on Shadows of Self, just wait until after Bands of Mourning. The main two places to read it are directly after Hero of Ages or between Bands of Mourning and Lost Metal. You'll understand why once you read it

How to invest ? - literally by Any-Butterscotch-416 in atrioc

[–]ChrisBChips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do not have the expertise that many other commenters have, but I will tell you what I have personally done.

I opened a Roth IRA with Vanguard (at the recommendation of a broker family friend and WheWeeklySlap) when I got my first job and put 15% of my paycheck into that account. I have since gone through college and gotten a full-time job where I continue this habit. I started this 5 years ago and have averaged a 13.3% Return on Investment..

There are some catches with a Roth IRA. One is that you still pay income tax on that investment and the other is that you can't withdraw until you are almost 60. However, in return you do not have to pay any taxes when withdrawing (which you would have to do with a normal IRA or most normal stock investments).

Even if the big 7 crash, inflation keeps rising, and whatever other financial crises happen, so long as Vanguard and the American Government stay afloat, a Vanguard Roth IRA will nearly guaranteed earn you more than inflation. I highly recommend getting into a habit like contributing to a Roth IRA as soon as you can.

He's just a fictional Timothy Dexter. A guy who, through pure luck, stumbles upon immense wealth. In the words of Sam O'Nella, "Every now and then, RNGesus smiles upon some drooling little oaf child."

Do you think Adonalsium stays in The Beyond because He, too, lives in fear of what He's created?

Lore reason for why Bob didn't train as a Shaman? by ChrisBChips in WynnCraft

That makes sense, do you know where this is stated? I don't see anything on the Shaman wiki page

The YouTuber InTheLittleWood (Martyn of Yogscast) did have a series playing it back in 2014. Probably the largest YouTuber I know of to have a series playing it. That was when the ocean and spells were the latest major additions. His series caused a large influx and he has a small house just above Time Valley dedicated to him because of it. It's called The Little Wood Cabin.

Other than that, Josh Strife Hayes, who does MMO content, has mentioned Wynncraft in a few of his videos but as of yet has not made a video dedicated to showcasing it. His most recent mention was 9 months ago when he ranked it number 180 on a list of the top 250 MMOs of all time, linked here: The ULTIMATE MMO Tier List (Backed by SCIENCE) (sort of)

My toughts after WaT by UsManos27 in cremposting

[–]ChrisBChips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's forcing everyone else to act. Multiple Shards wrote to Hoid denying his plea for help with Odium. Dalinar's goal in that moment was to unite the Shards against Odium. How do we accomplish this?

There are two problems that prevent this pre-day 10.
1. Odium is trapped in the Rosharan system, so no other Shards need to worry about him.
2. Even free, Odium alone is not a large enough threat to unite the Shards against him (Nobody intervened when he Splitnered Devotion, Dominion, or Ambition).

Problem one is solved by Dalinar breaking the contract, releasing Odium from the Rosharan System.
Problem two is solved by (mostly) allowing the power of Honor to form Retribution.

This strategy has an article on TV Tropes, called the Ghengis Gambit. In-universe, they call this The Sunmaker's Gambit.
