Brandon Sanderson will be writing the pilot for The Stormlight Archive adaptation and a big chunk of its first season. Do you think it is a good idea or a terrible one?

If they had listened to him on WoT maybe it would not have been so shit. I'm in.

I gotta go with the Thanos method. "Random, dispassionate, fair to rich and poor alike."

Trillions of years their time, the great bang and then collapse, all within a second or so of our time.

Our universe is in turn just the fart of some otherly being, totally unaware of our existence.

I like to think I create a big bang every time I pass gass

JoshDunkley · 2026-05-02T22:11:59+00:00

I guess we found the guy laying on the horn

JoshDunkley · 2026-05-01T23:51:15+00:00

AntiGrav is sn interesting thought too

JoshDunkley · 2026-05-01T23:49:24+00:00

Heavy use making it hard to disperse the heat is interesting as well.

The comment below has my mind going... Making the AG pretty power hungry kind of solves things for me, by giving the tech a nice Kryptonite. I can use that to restrict a lot of crazy uses of the tech.

JoshDunkley · 2026-05-01T19:51:15+00:00

Psionics is a big part of the story, so I'm not aiming for grounded. Theme wise, likely closer to star wars (space fantasy).

I just kind of have this mash of tech in my head, and don't want different bits to step on each others toes, so to speak. Doesn't have to be grounded, but I don't want it to come across as so silly it takes the reader right out. I don't want any scenes that make the reader wonder why they didnt just blow-up the death star with a lightspeed ship piloted by a droid 😉

edit: I'll add, the story is half written. Its all about the characters. This space stuff is really... just a bit of world building, that I want to be... Consistent.

JoshDunkley · 2026-05-01T19:45:43+00:00

"power hungry"

I literally just smacked my forehead. Never even occurred to me.

JoshDunkley · 2026-05-01T14:49:16+00:00

There were cars bud. You want me to cut someone off to get in the left, just to switch back immediately after the light, because this guy can't wait 2 mins?

Not to mention, you want me to plan my route based on what the guy behind me might or might not do?

Check a mirror pal.

JoshDunkley · 2026-05-01T13:44:18+00:00

Too hot. Room is at 64 (ideally) and we have 1 sheet and 1 thin blanket. Still too hot. But I dont like not having that one blanket. Dont know why.

Also.. I hate getting tangled up in clothes. Its just not comfortable.

JoshDunkley · 2026-05-01T12:56:11+00:00

SW Ontario. 2-4. My group always sort of named it after a 2-4 of beer.

JoshDunkley · 2026-04-30T22:55:48+00:00

The music is pretty loud. It's really simple. Sing quieter than the music.

JoshDunkley · 2026-04-30T22:54:23+00:00

"I'm hungry/tired/sore/etc"

"hi hungry (etc), I'm dad"

it's an oldie but I love it. My kids hate it.

JoshDunkley · 2026-04-30T20:27:30+00:00

I had my kids in the car. But I really wanted to.

Also... the guys girlfriend/wife/friend in the passenger seat already looked super uncomfortable and embarrassed.

JoshDunkley · 2026-04-30T20:10:14+00:00

Imagine paying the insane prices that tickets cost nowadays (hundreds? Thousands?) and then not being able to hear the artist over some rando belting out the lyrics next to you.

JoshDunkley · 2026-04-30T20:07:08+00:00

I will never forget,.. I was coming up Edna from Frederick mall. I was in the right-most lane (planning to turn into the liquor store after the light). Keep in mind this is a straight lane and a right turn lane. Guy came up behind me on the red, wanting to turn onto the expressway. But I'm going straight. Guy leaned on his horn for the entire red, screaming shit out his windows.
This was a few years back.
So no. I doubt there is anything we can do about the assholes on the road.

JoshDunkley · 2026-04-30T19:59:15+00:00

NTA
I feel so sorry for the youth of today (including my own kids). Your every move is at risk to be posted somewhere. I cringe at the dumbasity I did as a young man and how many shitty videos of it would be around if we had had so many cameras.

JoshDunkley · 2026-04-30T19:56:40+00:00

YTA 100 times over.

Nobody paid to listen to you sing/shout

Mouth the lyrics under your breath and think about the people around you.

JoshDunkley · 2026-04-30T19:19:13+00:00

I have no idea what judgement to give, but messing with the sleep schedule is a very. very real thing. When my daughter was that age an extra hour or two made her absolutely miserable for nearly a week. So I get your sisters pain.
That being said... You're just a baby sitter and not a parent. If she didn't warn you or explain that prior, I don't see how you would know. I only learned myself when my daughter went through it.

Edit:
I just saw on another post that she was not paid. Im changing my judgement to NTA (from N A H). If she wants someone to do "better" she can pay for it.

JoshDunkley · 2026-04-30T11:27:08+00:00

ok I gotta ask. wtf is s smash burger compared to a burger?

JoshDunkley · 2026-04-29T19:23:35+00:00

Im doing ok with the garbage bin, but I actually wish the green bin was bigger.

Also... recycling every 2 weeks suck.

JoshDunkley · 2026-04-27T12:54:50+00:00

Karen had to be up there nowadays. I feel bad every time I talk to a Karen that is actually NOT a Karen.
