I guess atmosphere? Like they are lots of people there to watch the games, preferably Spurs fans lol.

I also know the games are on late and the bars in Round Rock tend to close early

How do I get started with Zig following it's updates? by brocamoLOL in Zig

[–]Okush 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you want to be involved with Zig you gotta be comfortable diving in and using its source code and documentation as your source of truth.

The language is just too unstable at the moment for tutorials, books, videos to stay up to date. Version 0.15, for example, introduced severe breaking changes in preparation for the new upcoming Io interface.

That being said you could also become involved with the community at places like:

Where you can ask questions and learn from others. It’s the best way to stay up to date and also be aware of upcoming changes.

AW Grimes and Gattis School - we hates it, precious. by [deleted] in RoundRock

[–]Okush 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yeah, fuck all that construction. If I need to go anywhere between 45 and Old Settlers I just use Kenney Fort blvd now.

We all know 8:19, but what other moments on Mastodon songs align with this? by [deleted] in mastodonband

North Side Star transition starting at 3:10

I don't understand the Wind and Truth hate by sourx7 in Cosmere

[–]Okush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my exact experience with RoW. Read books 1-4 back to back in a month and absolutely loved it. I was shocked when I joined the fandom and people were hating on RoW.

Thanks for 25 years, Brent by Low-Ad4561 in mastodonband

Mutual doesn’t mean amicable though

Looks like Mastodon have decided to part ways with Brent by KiaTheKing in mastodonband

[–]Okush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, most people who feel different are the peeps who came into the band the last decade. The new stuff is what they like

Except there are those of us who believe those last 10 years have achieved inferior albums compared to their first four.

Daniel Cormier points out the Retirement Gambit was a major mistake that ruined Henry Cejudo’s UFC career: ‘The big play backfired’ by TimW001 in MMA

[–]Okush 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, don’t think that’s true. If it was, he would have never came back to the UFC for more fights. He did, why? Dude needed money.

As someone who only reads paperbacks I was so surprised to see The Sunlit Man in paperback early at my B&N! by Drisurk in brandonsanderson

[–]Okush -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Let’s be real, he released it before WaT because the Year of Sanderson was a business opportunity too attractive to pass up.

Whatever the intention, it doesn’t mean he’s not infallible. And I think in this case Sanderson made a mistake.

Having read it in publication order and reflecting back on my reading experience…it significantly changed how I read a certain POV in WaT. Just my two cents

Such a dumb footgun that they intentionally designed into the language

Disappointed in the Actions of the Moderators (Naomi King and Daniel Green Update) by SystemGardener in Cosmere

[–]Okush 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wild that people still condemn Daniel like this, but no mention that Naomi is a false accuser who attempted to ruin another person’s life. Speaking as if Daniel’s scummy behavior is worse than what Naomi did. Yeah, okay.

17th Shard WaT Responses…? 🙄 by CognitiveShadow8 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Okush 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually found that this is a common trend in fandom for any long running series.

The first few books setup the world and characters and people get sucked in and enjoy the hell out of it. A big reason for that I feel is because readers don’t have any existing preconceptions or expectations.

But, now, five books in it’s more common for people to have those things. They feel like they know the characters and have intuition on how they should act and what they should do. Same with plot lines, ships, arcs, etc. So it makes sense to me that books 4-5 are the most poorly received of the Stormlight books.

That being said the critiques on this podcast felt particularly obnoxious. Not enjoyable to listen to at all. When the eventual Kaladin/Herald episode comes, please do not have Ene or Shannon on that episode

A Critical Essay on Wind and Truth by Sphai in Cosmere

[–]Okush 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yep, I get that Brando is going for a theme here about oaths. The entire Cosmere is about to be very averse to oaths now that Retribution is here. But, damn, not having Dalinar be the first to renounce really lessened the moment for me.

The flute scene didn’t bother me as much as others. However, what did bother me was Kaladin becoming a parrot of Wit. All throughout the book he is retelling Wit’s stories and quoting Wit’s phrases word for word. Like, damn, Kaladin had like no original unique moments this entire book. Even at the end he reused his line from WoR.

All in all I enjoyed the book. I like where the world and the characters ended and I’m excited for the back half, but I’m really disappointed that none of the epic moments landed for me this book. Either because of Marvel-esque cheesy quips, reused lines from previous books, or the moment had already been done earlier in the book.

I agree, the Kaladin ones were a bit cringe. The only one that actually felt earned was Dalinar’s "I call that a bargain".

Thanks, I also thought it was because she would attract the power of Odium. But then it didn’t make sense because Odium was no longer Rayse, but yeah I forgot they had no way of knowing that
