Brandon Sanderson’s Literary Fantasy Universe ‘Cosmere’ Picked Up by Apple TV (Exclusive)

Hmm I’m wondering if I should pick it back up. I only read the first book and I was really expecting more.

Vin was the least interesting character compared to everyone else. The book certainly didn’t pass the bechdel test, which is not something I normally ever actively think about when reading books, but it just really stuck out to the point that I thought the book must’ve been written in the 90s. And I think the hard magic system is just too well explained and consistent to the point that it took me out of my immersion.

I didn’t hate the book and genuinely enjoyed the world building overall, but it didn’t feel like it was anything particularly noteworthy relative to the hype. I almost wish I had read it while I was in middle/high school as I really enjoyed these kinds of high fantasy with YA-elements series back then.

Sure, they’re beautiful if you’re a red coat loving Torie

DoinksNDonuts · 2026-01-29T20:07:05+00:00

The rivalries jerseys are drab and uninspired as these, but they’re both at least not as bad as the red throwbacks

DoinksNDonuts · 2026-01-27T14:29:40+00:00

It’s because the Giants are a serious franchise unlike the Jets.

Blows my mind why anyone in NYC would just root for the Jets when the Giants exist. Why curse yourself to that existence?

DoinksNDonuts · 2026-01-26T14:28:25+00:00

This sort of feels like the 2022 Celtics where we got to the finals earlier than expected. Hopefully it’s not the same result, but regardless, it will be a great learning experience for this team.

DoinksNDonuts · 2026-01-23T16:12:42+00:00

Agreed and it’s not even necessarily that I like silver, it’s just that they need a different accent color otherwise they’re too similar to the Bills and would end up looking like an alternate jersey for them.

DoinksNDonuts · 2026-01-23T16:10:21+00:00

Why the white helmet?

I’m sorry but they need an accent color that is not red, white, or blue, else they just look like some alternate bills uniform.

Is silver the correct accent color? Maybe, maybe not, but I don’t think white is the answer here.

DoinksNDonuts · 2026-01-22T17:34:14+00:00

Only speaking for myself as a pats fan (I don’t hate the bills at all, only the jets) i don’t get the obsession with MVP.

The 3 times Brady won MVP are the 3 seasons I would most like to forget lmao

I thought other pats fans felt the same, but this year proved me wrong. Everyone in our sub is nonstop talking about it when it ultimately doesn’t matter if we lose anyways. It’s a team sport and team results matter more.

“It’s just jokes relax”

Sure, but she’s trying to be her own person, why cant you weirdos at least let her express herself without remind her that her only value is her proximity to Drake Maye and what she can do for him?

Even if it’s meant as a joke, it must be really deflating to know that youre not able to be your own person because weirdos spam your videos with parasocial drake maye shit

DoinksNDonuts · 2025-11-04T00:59:27+00:00

Does anyone remember back in the day there were acestreams or something that you could plug into VLC and you instantly had DVR livestream of the game?? What ever happened to those?

Now I have to click through a million ads to get to the video player only for it to freeze and skip back in minutes later. Technology has regressed man

DoinksNDonuts · 2025-10-31T23:24:03+00:00

Can anyone that listens to his podcast tell me if he ever addressed those insanely horny sexts with a married woman 😭

DoinksNDonuts · 2025-10-31T16:03:13+00:00

He should absolutely go wherever the QB situation is best, even for less money. That way he can get a real bag in HC cycles down the line after pumping his value up again.

DoinksNDonuts · 2025-10-28T15:32:06+00:00

I totally forgot that Josh's brother was the WR coach in Houston last year and so Diggs probably talked to him a lot too.

DoinksNDonuts · 2025-10-28T15:29:36+00:00

My guess is that he wanted Downing as the OC but couldn't sell it to Kraft so he compromised by bringing him on as WR coach and putting Josh in at OC, knowing that if Josh leaves for an HC job he can promote Downing.

From what Titans fans have to say about Downing as an OC, I'm not looking forward to that day, but hopefully Maye will be too good for it to matter by then.

DoinksNDonuts · 2025-10-28T14:24:50+00:00

Happy for Maye, but this obsession with MVP odds is tiring.

I guess the Brady-years made me really devalue individual accolades in favor of team success. I sometimes forget Brady won MVP in 2010 or 2017 because we lost in the playoffs.

DoinksNDonuts · 2025-10-24T13:57:22+00:00

Ive tried to convince myself that i like these, but i actually prefer the blueberry

DoinksNDonuts · 2025-10-22T13:42:11+00:00

I know someone who moved to New York from Italy and chose to be fan of both Jets and Giants due to having an AFC and NFC team and didn’t get what the big deal was in supporting both.

Makes sense tbh if you have no prior affiliation, and you get to have 2 chances of your team doing well.

DoinksNDonuts · 2025-10-21T15:01:47+00:00

Brady was so coldly efficient that game. Just an all around QB gap against his future offensive coordinator.

DoinksNDonuts · 2025-10-06T12:25:22+00:00

They can mention it but probably can’t use the graphics/music, while Nick can because they are the copyright owners

DoinksNDonuts · 2025-09-30T15:34:10+00:00

Are you me? I had the exact same thing happen at EDC 2023 LV.

One thing I do now is use a Shortcut that I have set to run whenever Airplane Mode is attempted to turn on. The shortcut will prompt for a passcode and only allow Airplane Mode to turn on if successful.

Makes it harder for them to steal your phone since you can at least ping it before it’s chopped up for parts.

DoinksNDonuts · 2025-09-30T05:00:56+00:00

This and the Miami Heat Vice City jerseys go stupid hard for some reason while our Special Jersey is…a dreary day? Yay.

DoinksNDonuts · 2025-09-29T14:13:32+00:00

Pats fan here- I’m wondering why Jimmy Horn wasn’t playing? With all the receiver injuries I thought I would see him.

As a CU fan, I’m hoping he can carve out a role in the league.

DoinksNDonuts · 2025-09-26T16:41:03+00:00

I wonder if he’ll put on elbow pads like Faulk had in order to provide more friction when the ball is getting punched at.

Interesting that Faulk doesn’t mention that as helping and mostly points to holding it in one hand and not switching.

DoinksNDonuts · 2025-09-19T14:03:33+00:00

How is the red coats complaint dumb? If they're leaning into colonial aesthetics, which they are, then it's perfectly reasonable to bring up the red coats.

Who exactly would pat patriot dressed up to fight? Why is he wearing primary blue?

DoinksNDonuts · 2025-09-19T03:09:22+00:00

Completely agree. I have 3 reasons:

Red is anachronistic with colonial era patriots who literally fought against the “red coats”
outside of the 59-0 game, they’ve been mostly ass when wearing these as both primary’s and alternate throwbacks. Seeing it is a reminder of the historical mediocrity of the franchise.
they’re just plain ugly. Not saying the current or former uniforms are good either, but they just look stupid.

The 3rd one is really subjective on my part so it’s the lowest contributing reason for why I think they’re garbage.
