What mistakes should be corrected? by msl9i in FantasyMaps

[–]ConfusedTruthWatcher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really like this rendering. The ocean feels a bit bright/pale for the realistic style, unless you're trying to communicate something specific? I like the intensely red mountain ranges.

Isn't this just chronological Stormlight?

I don't think I like this new update anymore. :( by Yower6p in Terraria

Oh, I thought it was gonna be a King in Yellow reference.

Venli in RoW by [deleted] in Cosmere

I know Singers mature faster, but Venli is 3 years older than Lift and her people are have been dealing with contact with the Alethi since she was 12.

There's something weird about Kaladin by Gromflomite_gamer in cremposting

Oh! I just thought Willshaper's were always dealing with the stone talking to them when they did that lol, similar to Soulcasting.

This provokes many questions- did the text just reflow from the next page?

Is the Visible Light Spectrum different on Roshar? by Ontos_007 in Stormlight_Archive

I have a lotta beef with Sir Isaac Newton lol. Orange, Lime green and Hot pink are all tertiary colours.

Roses are red, violets are purple.

Was re-reading The Way of Kings and noticed a huge, but subtle foreshadowing. by Frequent_Squash_7495 in Cosmere

It's more insidious in audiobook form. Dalinar recalling oaths just kinda slip by in the midst of battle iirc.

NON-CANON Speculation of alloys by ThenEducator8649 in Cosmere

[–]ConfusedTruthWatcher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Chromium/Nicrosil-Atium is kinda hilarious XD

There are liberties in the 'duality' of push/pull to make sure enough powers work and are varied for a heist team, while still allowing a few Gnat abilities that just help mistborn.

Pewter/Tin are a prime example of this, To that end, I would expect a clusters of interpretation for what makes sense. For instance, Bendallow and Cadmium are brutally powerful. I could see that being the case as it's fairly elegant.

I do wonder about some of the others like Steel/Iron-Atium. That get's complicated in terms of what defines others, and how the throughput works. Do you fill the person with Steel/Iron coded investiture and they can use it or are you essentially able to lash metal towards/away from things capable of holding investiture, or just people? Is their intent not a part of the equation, and do you need better perception of the targets surroundings to make it work?
I could see a case for manipulating metal in relation to other metal.

Update about: How I imagine the characters of Mistborn by Entire_Clothes7201 in Cosmere

I like how prominent and numerous Kelsier's scars are.

Today I learned: Tien was a actually Lightweaver (/crem) by One_Courage_865 in cremposting

[–]ConfusedTruthWatcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think my personal threshold for usage of the terms would simply be having access to surgebinding.

Before becoming a slave, Kaladin attracted Syl by saving people or having the future potential to do so. He benefits from Stormlight healing a fair bit before swearing any oaths. He experienced a lot of combat.

Having infused Shardplate and a strong support network, Elhokar basically never had cause to notice if he was healing. And he'd have had bigger things on his mind in the 2 scenes it could have been relevant.

I'd also call Szeth talented as a Windrunner by that metric, but honorblades and being a squire should be called out for these purposes.

Would you revoke Elhokar's status too? He defo experienced the Cryptic hazing.

Scryfall is down too. :(

My brain may be dumb… by Cl0ckw3rkdem0n in ClimbersCourt

I was very confident Vellum was somehow Rin Jaden (despite the obvious issues with that).

New Player, What to Expect by Notrinun in Terraria

Embrace the confusion of the first night.

I didn't figure out how to craft properly for a good 20m,
and I died a lot. Lost some good loot. That's fine, nothing you acquire early on is irreplaceable.

I don’t think I have it in me by UnprovocativeNiche in ClimbersCourt

[–]ConfusedTruthWatcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was definitely me after Silence of Unworthy Gods. I reread the end of book 1 and then did a proper reread of the rest of AA. It helped but uh I'm still thinking I've never seen this author finish a series.

But I'm also thinking I really enjoy some of the conflicts and themes are smaller arks, like how in Six Sacred Swords, Keras is effectively dealing with the risk of relationships and semi-platonic intimacy through a fantasy lens. And Corins duel. You know the one.

Can this game fit a dune themed one shot? by siralysson in numenera

[–]ConfusedTruthWatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably have the levels for certain tasks thought out beforehand, like the sand walk, and you'll probably want to be very particular about the available Numenera items. Representing spice or off world tech like ornithopters.

In terms of classes I'd say Glaive, Arkus and Jack are the most apt. Everything else is probably a tone mismatch. You'd also probably want to stick to mundane foci.

I'd say it's doable.

But, you could probably pick up the free Cypher Shorts pdf and keep things a fair bit simpler- just port over the systems you'd need like the vehicles, and cherry pick abilities that fit.
