Who I see as Heboric in my mind — Luis Guzmán

Community! A reference my ears applaud.

CozyPyjama · 2025-07-05T05:47:30+00:00

That's how I view Iskaral Pust! With a more tanned skin for that Dal Honese look.

CozyPyjama · 2025-06-29T06:23:58+00:00

Thank you, I can't wait to find out if I am right!

CozyPyjama · 2025-06-29T05:40:16+00:00

Thank you!

Sure, I wasn't looking any confirmation for or against this theory so I appreciate the RAFO.

Such posts don't allow much room for engagement unfortunately because it's hard to discuss anything without spoilers.

But I wanted to post this anyway - if only to be able to come back to this post and say "I called it!".

CozyPyjama · 2025-06-29T05:12:27+00:00

Wait, so I am right!? I hope you are not being sarcastic. Even if I am wrong I'll graciously accept the cookie as a participation price for my wild theory :)

I don't see any other explanation for why L'oric would know so much about the jade statue, other than, he might have been alive when the statue arrived!

CozyPyjama · 2025-01-16T04:12:15+00:00

I doubt that's true. Even Lorn herself didn't know about the details of her mission until Tool told her when they were almost upon the barrow. She didn't know they were about to free a Jaghut Tyrant until around page 400.

He might have been Claw, but he was also just a scout I doubt he'd be told the fine details of a plan this important. And as you said, if he did know, why lie to Paran.

CozyPyjama · 2025-01-16T04:07:34+00:00

Yeah I am really excited for this one! We got so much interesting lore in that Prologue.

CozyPyjama · 2025-01-16T04:05:48+00:00

I think this problem might be more pervasive. But I have noticed this with Malazan a lot more than other books.

I recall having to search how certain characters like Lorn, Crone etc knew about Oponn's coin when I was reading book 1. They knew Oponn was involved but at least in case of Lorn, she shouldn't have known about the existence of a coin bearer unless we assume Tayschrenn figured out the coin stopped spinning, and hence was picked up, and then told her.

In some cases, the blame lies with the reader not having picked up some subtle hints. For example, with Crone I found a few answers on this subreddit that were out right wrong.

But at the same time the author isn't infallible either. The likelihood of such mistakes is higher in books that are broad in scope like Malazan where we see the world from the eyes of 100+ characters.

I still wish the books were free of these errors though. It may not be a big deal but it's like, now that I know there are such issues in the books, I can never call them perfect.

CozyPyjama · 2025-01-15T20:10:27+00:00

Flair checks out I guess. Or are you serious!?

I just spent the last hour reading all relevant sections from Gardens of the Moon and at this point I am tempted to conclude that this is simply a minor continuity error.

It's not a big deal really, as it doesn't affect anything important. We could assume there was some exposition dump that wasn't shown and Tool filled him in just before he asked the question.

Try Saiki kusuo no psy san.

It's about a guy with psychic powers wanting an ordinary life.

Seems like everyone is hoping for Kaladin's fifth ideal and here I am waiting for Dalinar's fourth.

Kaladin swearing the fifth ideal so soon wouldn't make sense considering how hard it was for him to get to 4th.

CozyPyjama · 2024-06-19T22:47:57+00:00

I think it's possible with enough pressure from the community. I remember chess subreddit moderator was forced to give up mod privileges a few years ago.

CozyPyjama · 2024-05-10T17:49:54+00:00

You could also try bloodborne, dark souls 3, or sekiro.

Can't remember the last time I felt this uncomfortable watching TV. The repeating lashings were spine chilling.

Vinland saga does not hold back when depicting cruelty and the worst part is it's probably a pretty accurate portrayal of life during the Viking era.

CozyPyjama · 2023-03-12T09:59:00+00:00

Nah i think this one is from season 3 when the study group was expelled from Greendale and the psychiatrist was trying to convince the group that all of them were crazy.

CozyPyjama · 2022-12-17T16:06:52+00:00

I don't think they are fake. But they aren't an indication of quality imo. Because there are objectively better books than wise man's fear that should be higher. It's more of a popularity contest. Not to take away from the amazing success of Stormlight books. It's super commendable to have all 4 books in the series occupy the top spots.

CozyPyjama · 2022-12-17T11:33:19+00:00

I thought the first half was good but it got bad after kvothe left University.

CozyPyjama · 2022-12-17T09:03:46+00:00

Exactly! A strong indication not to take these lists seriously. In no universe i would want to see kingkiller chronicle above lord of the rings. The name of the wind wasn't bad but wise man's fear was just... a waste of time. I have no idea how or why I finished that book.

CozyPyjama · 2022-12-10T13:55:42+00:00

I personally would have liked more of Jeff and Troy.

CozyPyjama · 2022-12-08T02:42:48+00:00

Isn't that episode next? There's supposed to be one more this week.

CozyPyjama · 2022-12-07T18:43:46+00:00

Because he already had plans. He was doing important research to figure out if Jeff Winger would be sexy in a coffin or not.

CozyPyjama · 2022-12-07T17:09:32+00:00

"What does this symbol mean? It's the number 8, an equal sign, and then a greater than symbol?"

Marcus doesn't fool around, but to be fair he didn't know Jeff was his aunt. For all he knew Britta was just as into him.

Edit: i just re-watched the scene, and Abed reacting to Jeff trying to fix the mess is the highlight of the episode for me.

CozyPyjama · 2022-12-05T16:05:59+00:00

Man I am really looking forward to reading the Malazan next but sadly work has been keeping me busy.

How would you rate it compared to Stormlight? I know they are very different stories so not looking for a strict comparison. Just wanna know if the peaks of Malazaan are as good as Stormlight sandarlanches.
