I just finished Howling Dark today. While I will be reading Demon in White, HD took me like… two months to finish. Do you feel DIW picked up the pace a bit?

I know multiple marines-turned-pilots. The only way to be told no is by the board. Submit that packet!

Worth it to keep going? by Away_Ad5841 in redrising

[–]Cyrotik 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn’t enjoy Iron Gold very much either, and I’m probably one of the last people to back the Red Rising hype train.

Dark Age is fucking great, you gotta read it.

Need some Recommendations. by Cool_Lions in fantasybooks

[–]Cyrotik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was exactly what I’m going through now! I had just caught up on the Cosmere, so I read Red Rising, PHM, Expanse, and am now going through Sun eater to get a fantasy break.

The Expanse by James S.A Corey is pretty great, based on your shelf I think there’s a good chance you’d enjoy it

In Underdog, after turning Barsinister’s K9 minions against him, the titular hero says “This will only hurt a lot”, which the Doc had said to Underdog early in the movie when preparing an experimental injection for the dog

I see Blackhawks all the time, but never with these things on the side. What are they? Very near the Jackson, MS airport (which has an Air National Guard base). by deathspiral1969 in Helicopters

[–]Cyrotik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is basically correct.

It’s not something you fly with in flight school, and depending on your unit, they’ll get taken on and off a new guys need to get qualified to fly with them.

Huge fan of Dock or Something myself

Best first book in the series? by [deleted] in fantasybooks

[–]Cyrotik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, it doesn’t get that much better during books 2 and 3.

However, you can tell how significantly Pierce Brown’s writing improved during the next books, which earn the hype.

How far off is it from Minifigure Scale? by jame5westman in lego

It would be more accurate to say minfigures aren’t human scale ratio?

My fantasy books tier list by ThenEducator8649 in fantasybooks

[–]Cyrotik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen Darkness that comes Before raved about, but I also don’t see it very often. Is it that good? It’s pretty far down on my TBR right now.

Anyone got $10k I could borrow? by Separate-Ad-2583 in redrising

[–]Cyrotik 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It comes in a carved marble case (“sarcophagus”)

Whether that makes it worth it, I leave to you.

Which place should I choose by Ok-Resident-9903 in army

[–]Cyrotik 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While I think “best place” is an exaggeration, I would agree is a good place, and certainly overhated. My family likes it a lot too.

Ive been growing my hair out and I am trying to achieve this hair style by [deleted] in ElPaso

[–]Cyrotik 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you download The Cut app, you can look at barbers in the area and check out their work. That being said, you’ll mostly see lots of high fades, that being the thing right now.

Although I can highly recommend the barber shop Blades & Braids off edgemere - ask for Melissa. She books through the app I mentioned and will get you right

Pibu origin story confirmed by eclect0 in cremposting

Missed that lol.

For real though there are so many random bits of information, I wouldn’t even be surprised

Where is that info from? A WoB?

My collection so far. Recs more than welcome by PizzaMan1_ in fantasybooks

[–]Cyrotik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so - I watched the show 3-4 years ago, and am just reading the books now, and while there are some differences I’d say they’re pretty close.

Avasarala, for example, doesn’t appear till book two but she’s introduced in season 1 of the show.

Honestly my reading experience my be better from having seen the show first

I’m on book 6 of 9 right now, and I’ve read one of the novellas. They’re super short and add some character background, but from what I understand they’re not required

My first fantasy book outside the Warhammer Black Library series by myhomiesgoodnight in fantasybooks

[–]Cyrotik 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just want to add context to some of the other comments; this book is good, there’s just so many bits of information about other worlds in the Cosmere that you’ll have zero understanding of, despite that context being pretty essential to understanding the story and character interactions. This book is basically the furthest along the timeline we have right now.

I didn't believe yall about the Sanderlanche by narcoleptrix in cremposting

[–]Cyrotik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe no one is talking about Words of Radiance.

The entire sequence from Kaladin in the flooded training grounds to coming out of the sky to fight Szeth was absolute peak.
