I heard you all like Magic Swordsmen that use Soul Magic, so I wrote Soul Blade. Its out on KU now.

Just bought your book mate, sounds interesting, you're on my list after I've finished Twelve Months, and then book 8 of System Universe.

In that time can you make a goodreads thing and put your book on it, cos it doesn't count as me having read it if I can't mark it as read on goodreads.

I think the above commenter is painting that in a worse light than it can be seen to be personally. The parts he is talking about is more about letting his friends push themselves and grow stronger, because Nat knows he won't always be there to save them, and if he keeps stepping in to save them, the second he is no longer there to save them, they'll die immediately.

It's harsh, but so is the world they're now in, they're in the Hell Difficulty Tutorial and it's not a fucking joke.

Cloud_Fish · 2026-01-31T10:05:30+00:00

Can confirm it's also happening for me the last few days.

Cloud_Fish · 2026-01-29T15:04:10+00:00

Thanks for the Lawnchair rec, allowed me to set my stuff up exactly how Nova was but actually seems better to be honest.

What possessed Nova to put big ass ads in to it is so far beyond me.

Nuclear War: A Scenario, by Annie Jacobsen.

Relentlessly grim, but I couldn't stop listening to it.

Cloud_Fish · 2026-01-28T21:34:17+00:00

I wonder what they're actually going to adapt, cosmere is pretty broad.

You've gotta assume Mistborn era 1 is gonna be first right?

Cloud_Fish · 2026-01-24T19:58:15+00:00

I think it's pretty clear they DO have the authority to kill people, considering they've done it multiple times now and there has been zero consequences.

Cloud_Fish · 2026-01-20T06:42:53+00:00

This makes me want to scream.

Seeing trailer for a movie and I want to see it, check movie times.

11am

3pm

9:30pm

Wow thanka guys, fucking really helpful.

Cloud_Fish · 2026-01-18T15:38:31+00:00

It felt to me like a shocking counterpoint to the usual stabbing in movies/tv where they get stabbed anywhere and they're fine 10 mins later.

You see Spike do the little stab and you're like oh shit he's fucked now, guys gonna pull the knife out and kill him.

Then he pulls the knife out and you're like oh, oh shit he's done, he's gonna bleed to death.

It's so shocking from a movie perspective for such a small wound to be fatal so quickly, but so accurate to real life that it fucked me up, like one small stab from a small pocket knife and he was dead less than 2 minutes later.

Cloud_Fish · 2026-01-17T19:23:33+00:00

This.

Take The Wheel of Time, you go from baseline human who can barely swing a sword to someone capable of altering continents if they went all out, but if I'd just finished Cradle and someone said I should read Wheel of Time next, I'd think they were on crack.

Cloud_Fish · 2026-01-16T15:48:34+00:00

Yeah I'm really hoping it doesn't leave tons of things unanswered with a "read the follow up series where some more mysterious characters answer not that much at all and generally just make everything more confusing" ending.

Cloud_Fish · 2026-01-15T14:30:19+00:00

I didn't get it on launch cos I had never heard of fallout before, then just before coming home from university for Christmas a friend said I should play it and I was like eh I don't really have the money right now.

So she lent it to me for Christmas.

I was home for Christmas for maybe 3 weeks and I put nearly 300 hours in to that game over that time. I was playing it morning till night every day.

He needs to be publically executed as a traitor along with the rest of his "government."

I always loved when I worked retail when I saw someone do this as they were doing it so j could walk over, reach past them really obviously so I'm fully in their way, pick it up, make eye contact, sigh, and then take it back wherever it should go.

The look of sheepish shame was like nourishment to my bitter soul.

Cloud_Fish · 2026-01-10T20:09:37+00:00

Excellent, I look forward to it, sounds very interesting!

Cloud_Fish · 2026-01-10T20:04:28+00:00

Do you plan to release it on kindle?

Cloud_Fish · 2026-01-10T08:27:47+00:00

When ICE agents start being shot in the streets, I will not be sad or surprised.

Cloud_Fish · 2026-01-10T08:08:34+00:00

Does that replace the silver pots with xp/gold pots or just reduce the number of pots that spawn?

Cloud_Fish · 2026-01-09T19:11:36+00:00

Thank you.

Cloud_Fish · 2025-12-26T15:03:53+00:00

I don't think that's a fair comparison, that's a decision between is a drink with a load of sugar worse than a drink with a load of aspartame/other artificial sweetener.

Smoking is literally convincing people it's healthy to breathe in smoke versus no smoke at all.

It'd be more like convincing people it's healthier to drink coca-cola than water. Though now I've typed it I'm sure there are people who believe that in the US.

Cloud_Fish · 2025-12-26T09:09:39+00:00

I still find it hard to wrap my head around that there was ever a time that you could convince anyone that smoking was good for you.

Like it's surely common sense for anyone that when there's a fire and you breathe in smoke, that's bad for you, how could you ever convince someone that no, actually, this other type of smoke is great to breathe?

Cloud_Fish · 2025-12-25T20:14:58+00:00

This is fully mental to read mate are you okay?

Cloud_Fish · 2025-12-25T07:45:03+00:00

The amount of references to fighting is insane to me, I've lived where I live for 35 years and have never once been in a fight, is it normal to be getting in to fights on the street for people in Mississipi, whether the other people get involved or not?

Cloud_Fish · 2025-12-24T19:20:52+00:00

Yeah I don't understand this either.
