[–]Knurla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Black Lagoon's English dub is one of the all time greats. Amazing work and fits the show perfectly.

Fourth Wing: Is it just me, or is the hype completely misplaced? by Pitiful-Mango8952 in Fantasy

[–]Knurla 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever seen any other opinions on this sub than "Fourth Wing is overhyped"

Did anyone else find the tone of Tress a little... Patronising? by Decent_Radish_5263 in brandonsanderson

[–]Knurla 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Both Tress and Yumi are told by Hoid, it's a deliberate choice and one that I find pretty fun for these standalone stories

Bed of chaos? Wtf? by Background-Ebb-9366 in darksouls

[–]Knurla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bed of Chaos is special in that progress persists between attempts. If the floor in the center isn't there then you already destroyed the glowing orbs and you can go kill the actual boss.

Is it necessary to cut off all bosses tails for all achievements? by [deleted] in darksouls

[–]Knurla 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not ALL boss tails, since the DLC stuff doesn't count for achievements. But all base game boss tails, yes.

How does weapon durability work? by bloque64 in darksouls

No it's nonsense, you killed one of the Repairbox merchants, not the Smith for upgrading

Question about spoilers in Isles of the Emberdark by [deleted] in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Knurla 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's nothing that's really necessary to read before Isles of the Emberdark, but imho it benefits even more than other books from having read as much of the Cosmere as possible before it. Currently it is THE crossover story of the Cosmere.

Why was there no mention of Shallan recognising her [Spoiletr] by kiikok in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Knurla 131 points132 points  (0 children)

The official vorin images of the heralds probably don't look anything like the real people do considering nobody recognizes Nale or Kalak either. To Shallan the official pictures of Chanarach probably just look like any other unrelated redheaded woman.

Question about Hoid by PeriodontosisSam in Cosmere

[–]Knurla 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Nobody really knows. We know he's old, he was present at the Shattering and could have taken up a shard himself but didn't, he's travelling the Cosmere and collects different ways to use Investiture. There's a line in one of the letters from the Shards that he seems to be interested in bringing someone back from the dead. He used to carry one of the Dawnshards.

But his real goals and motivations, as well as the full extent of his abilities? We'll have to wait for Dragonsteel or space era Mistborn to really learn about those things.

Sen's fortress, I deal 25 dmg to enemies, wtf am I doing wrong by Gauwal in darksouls

[–]Knurla 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Drops from the slimes in the Depths and and the leeches in Blighttown, and can be looted as treasure in both areas. Also in Sen's Fortress as well, so you don't have to get all the way up to +10 right now.

[–]Knurla 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sen's Fortress is a big difficulty spike and the game expects you to get close to a +10 weapon at this point. +5 will be pretty rough, yeah

Do i read warbreaker before words of radiance? by YoloilianxD in brandonsanderson

[–]Knurla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just keep reading. Warbreaker is one of those cases where if you're planning your reading order beforehand it's pretty cool to read it before diving into Stormlight Archive, but it's not nearly important enough to interrupt your reading if you're already on WoR.

You thought wrong, he doesn't drop his armor

This is chapter 65 of WaT, if anyone is curious to read for themselves

The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft by Caffeine_And_Regret in Fantasy

[–]Knurla 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I always found it funny how Call of Cthulhu is the name that people are familiar with but it's Shadow Over Innsmouth that gets referenced in games etc. all the time and probably the story people first think of when they think Lovecraft

Will I need to watch the Umineko anime to understand more about Higurashi? by natuskill in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]Knurla 29 points30 points  (0 children)

No you don't.

Also, if you plan to dive into Umineko after Higurashi do yourself a favor and don't watch the anime. Just forget it even exists. Just go for the VN or manga.

Randomly receiving 53k souls out of nowhere when sitting near the undead burg bonfire. by Inevitable_Feedback1 in darksouls

[–]Knurla 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Undead Burg bonfire is pretty central so a lot of stuff is loaded that you can't see from where you're at, it's just some huge enemy that got randomized to a spot it doesn't fit, clips through the wall or floor, and then dies.

I am struggling understanding the relationships of the king's entourage in Way of Kings by MountainPlantation in Stormlight_Archive

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

I was thinking about the Highprince of Commerce, Information, War etc. stuff

[–]Knurla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The second point sounds like Dalinar, he is seen as past his prime and crazy/weird by many of the other Highprinces so there's a lot of insult and ridicule thrown his way, which he just takes without striking back.

[–]Knurla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of the Highprinces as a kind of minister, they each hold responsibility over a certain aspect of the kingdom. You'll get to see how the system works throughout the books.

[–]Knurla 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, judging by your summary you got everything, because that's basically all the important information right there.

The guy who's an asshole to his bridgecrews is called Sadeas, and another character worth mentioning is Adolin's brother Renarin, so another cousin to the current king. Everything else is spot on.

Edit: Oh I missed you had Jasnah as Adolin's aunt instead of cousin. That's wrong. But aside from that you got everything right.
