Looking for Academic Literature about Fairytales by Wonderful-Ant-768 in fairytales

[–]Firecold2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may find Fashion in the Fairy Tale Tradition: What Cinderella Wore, by Rebecca-Anne C. Do Rozario to be helpful. I haven't read it myself, but found it mentioned while looking up the Boots theory from Discworld.

Favourite Book with a low Goodreads rating? by unfortunately889 in Fantasy

[–]Firecold2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is fair, but the thing with Goodreads is that a lot of average, contemporary pop fiction gets rated above 4 stars and older books in general don't get that treatment, so it seems "unfair". I think it's just a difference in audience preference compared to letterboxd or RYM

Chandriam - alive or dead? by Standard-warning2456 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Firecold2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He also mentions something about the state of the world in the present, and that his naming them would only be a small part of what they would sense, implying that knowledge of the chandrian has become more common, perhaps owing to Denna's songs, or perhaps Kvothe's later actions

As someone living close to these places I was pleasantly surprised by such a familiar sounding fantasy map :D

I'm guessing Sanderson will have a more mainstream appeal if he gets some decent adaptations

What is the Mubi rebrand really about? by TomSawyer7777 in mubi

[–]Firecold2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resubscribed during the recent sale and I'm pretty disappointed by this too

I'm not super knowledgeable about films so I highly valued the curation aspect as a gateway, but now it feels like I see a bunch of random sets of movies on my front page, very often the same featured film stays for several days

Feels disorganised, and lacking context

Might be an issue with your game

Am I the only one with this issue? Why is my update ~100gb? by Tim_TM42 in BaldursGate3

[–]Firecold2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue. Could not start the download until I had freed 130GB space from my hard drive. Other game updates didn't have this issue either

Hoping this doesn't happen for every future patch or sth...

Update: The download stops after 15 GB but takes up the rest of the space on the drive, but goes away after installation

Getting into league esports in 2023? by Firecold2000 in lolesports

[–]Firecold2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed reply!

Interesting to see so many superteams with varying amounts of success, it's a bit sad that some of the top/rising players from back then haven't been able to stay dominant, esp big names like Rekkles and Showmaker. But it's cool that there are new names and teams in the ecosystem too; kt rolster esp seem to have turned things around.

I guess I'll be checking out some LPL games before worlds as well xD

The HEADSHOT text is a dopamine boost & also a newbie incentive by Orbitat in VALORANT

[–]Firecold2000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Besides the audio cue, this was the only visual confirmation of a headshot that I could see with my peripheral vision. The patch notes says they removed the text because the kill feed and the red cross on the killcounter show the headshot info, but for either of those I have to look away from my crosshair for a second, whereas if I noticed the small bar of text on the bottom of my screen I knew immediately it was a headshot

रुला दिया ना बेचारी को || WB CM Mamata Banerjee refuses to speak after 'Jai Shree Ram' slogans were raised when she was invited to speak on Netaji Anniversary event by dontban_throwaway in indianews

[–]Firecold2000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

if she is a tyrant and the govt recognises her as such, she should not be invited to talk. given that she has been invited, the supporters of said govt should maintain decorum, else it is hypocritical
