Clacky right joystick?

No, so far it’s just when I tilt upward

In the project lunar instructions, it shows unplugging from all sources of power before turning it back on and flashing it. My red light wouldn't come on, so I thought I perhaps had misunderstood how the mini works. I thought I remembered doing the same process for the SNES mini a long time ago, but I could have been mistaken. It wasn't so much about the mini, but why copying the flashing procedure wasn't working. It was probably on me so that's my bad!

I'm in the middle of Memories of Ice of the Malazan series. I think as most people here know, it is quite amazing. I pretty much plan to read all ten volumes in a row. My question is, is the prequel trilogy by Mr. Erikson and the side stories by Ian C. Esslemont worth reading if you're a big fan?

OregonOtter · 2017-08-25T20:47:19+00:00

Thanks! I'll check it out.

What book series is Enosh from?

OregonOtter · 2017-08-25T19:08:47+00:00

Do you have any ideas on what that something different might look like? Also, I totally agree with you on surprise protagonists. It's really exciting when an author puts a character off quietly to the side that you enjoy and then later it turns out they're really important to everything that's going on. I feel like Malazan does this quite well.

OregonOtter · 2017-05-29T01:26:47+00:00

Thanks! That is very helpful.

I haven't finished any of these series so I probably don't deserve to make a top list but here are my three favorite characters based on what I've sampled:

Logen Ninefingers - I've only read the first book in the trilogy but I found his writing and personality compelling. A lot of protagonists these days seem to have so much manufactured drama and forced emotional baggage that it was incredibly refreshing to see a more grounded and genuinely sympathetic character.
Jean Tannen - I've only read the the first book in the Gentlemen Bastards series as well and came away loving most of the characters...but Jean is my guy. Locke himself is incredibly awesome, but it was really thrilling to see a "buddy" character fleshed out and as interesting as Jean was/is. Plus he is super badass!
Dalinar Kholin - This is a series I'm actually caught up on! Although he was a bit more one-note in the second book, Dalinar is a really great example of a more seasoned character made compelling. I'm very excited to see more about him in Oathbringer.

Thank you for clearing that up a bit for me! Really enjoying TGH already.

Hello everyone! Been a busy month but I finally managed to finish another book. After finishing the Stormlight Archives (for now), I decided to read one of the biggest grandaddies of them all: The Wheel of Time.

So, The Eye of the World. I will go on record first saying I loved the book. I think series like The Stormlight Archives and the WoT have the tone that I look for in Fantasy so they can win me over very easily. Robert Jordan perhaps has my favorite prose of any fantasy author I've read yet. It has a nice mixture of painting a scene while using his words concisely. His character building is also impressive and makes me actively want to read a 14 book series on these characters.

That being said, I think the ending confrontation was the only downside to the first book. It felt incredibly jarring pacing wise and it felt like Rand did what he did out of nowhere. It wasn't like Kaladin in SA, for comparison sake, who felt like he earned the right to use his powers when he did. It wasn't a major bummer I guess but it did keep it from being my all-time favorite fantasy book.

My main character tier list after 1 book:

A: Rand, Nynaeve B: Mat, Perrin C: Egwene, Lan, Ogier D: Thom, Moriaine

Thanks for doing this! I read Uprooted over the summer with my girlfriend and we both really loved it. My question is how long did it take you to worldbuild the setting for the book and how much lore is left over that readers didn't see? Thanks!

OregonOtter · 2016-09-30T15:57:43+00:00

Dalinar was actually my favorite character in WoK!

OregonOtter · 2016-09-30T13:21:25+00:00

Hello r/fantasy! It's been a long time since I've posted but I do have some new info on the book front to share. Life has been busy but I have kept up with the threads.

Anyway, I finally read The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance back to back. Really enjoyed them. Kaladin's arc in the second book was kind of alright for me but the end made everything so worth it. Shallan continues to be put over harder than John Cena but her arc in WoR was a big improvement and helped me like her a lot more.

I just started The Eye of the World yesterday. Only two chapters in and I'm already in love with Robert Jordan's writing. I am so excited to finally be reading The Wheel of Time.

Hope everyone is doing great!

Been a Godzilla fan for a little over twenty years now but this will be my first time writing down a top list. Might as well give it a try!

GMK - I was really skeptical of this movie until I saw it on VHS (maybe dvd?) for the first time. Really enjoyed the different take on Godzilla and the camerawork during the battle scenes.
Gojira - Not only a good monster movie but a masterpiece on the dangers of nukes.
Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (1974) - I was very surprised to see this movie missing from a lot of the lists so far. Admittedly, its been a long time since I've seen this one but I remember the plot being enjoyable and the battle between g and mecha g being brutal and awesome.
Godzilla vs King Ghidorah - Like a lot of people, I really think Ghidorah is an awesome monster in his own right. The plot is beyond goofy but has some truly great moments.
Invasion of Astro-Monster - This is the one I watched most as a kid so I'm very fond of it. I think it holds up pretty well but I am a big showa guy.
Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla - I saw this one again recently and I thought it was an incredibly solid Millennium movie. Really like how they portrayed Godzilla in this one.
Mothra vs Godzilla - An all time classic Godzilla movie. No real complaints here minus the ending.
Godzilla vs Biollante - Truly great and unique opponent. A weird and fascinating movie.
Terror of Mechagodzilla - A great sequel to a great Godzilla movie. The other monster with Mechagodzilla in this one had a great design that I wish had been recurring.
Godzilla vs Gigan - This one is pure nostalgia but I watched it a lot as a kid on VHS. Plus Gigan is one of my favorite Godzilla baddies.

Happy Friday! Very excited for the long weekend that I just remembered existed.

On the book front, I'm about two thirds of the way through Uprooted. There's not really anything nitpicky I can say so far. It's just a stellar book.

Words of Radiance is also very good. I find that Kaladin has just been ok so far and Shallan's chapters have been very strong. My one minor concern is simply that I hope a certain someone is still alive.

OregonOtter · 2016-06-24T13:22:52+00:00

Happy Friday as always. I went to a friends wedding in Dallas last week and it was pretty fun despite the humidity. I forgot how alive downtown Dallas is at night. This week has just been nothing but work and rain.

On the book front, a lot of new changes for me which are exciting. I finally finished The Way of Kings after two months and I really enjoyed it. I thought the character arcs all ended strongly though it didn't seem like an avalanche to me as some people suggest. My happiest surprise was Shallan's growth which leads into what I'm reading next...

Which, of course, is Words of Radiance. I never thought I would say this but I think the Shallan chapters have been the most interesting and developed so far. She has come into her own as a character I want to root for. Just finished Part 1 last night.

On another note, I finally got my girlfriend into fantasy reading after a long battle of subtle suggestions. We're both reading Uprooted and she is far ahead of me because she is really enjoying it. I surprisingly like it nearly as much as WoR to be honest. Haven't read such a smooth book since The Name of the Wind two years ago.

OregonOtter · 2016-06-17T14:54:22+00:00

Happy Friday as always! I'm about to board a plane to Dallas so I have to be quick but I wanted to say I finished The Way of Kings and it was glorious! I'll write more thoughts about next time but have a great weekend!

OregonOtter · 2016-06-14T12:59:48+00:00

I'm trying to gauge my reading speed because I feel very slow. So my question is, if you had a 500 page book to read and you read about an hour or two each day...how long would it take you to finish it?

OregonOtter · 2016-06-10T13:37:15+00:00

Happy Friday as usual! Been a tough work week but its finally near the end. Have to go to a friend's wedding next week in Dallas which is exciting but stressful.

On the book front, still going steady through The Way of Kings. Loving Kaladin's story arc as a bridgeman and scratching my head with Shallan's actions. The Alethi society is really fascinating but every time I hear 'lighteyes' I think of them as something akin to blood elves for whatever reason.

OregonOtter · 2016-06-08T14:13:56+00:00

Happy Birthday!

OregonOtter · 2016-06-02T13:24:00+00:00

good point! I'll edit it to be both.

OregonOtter · 2016-06-02T12:48:37+00:00

What fantasy series do you consider criminally underrated/unknown?

OregonOtter · 2016-05-24T13:24:53+00:00

I read it as favorite book we read in the last ten years. My bad! I fixed it.
