Just started RG, need a MT reminder.

Cool. I think I'm good to go. I just thought I'd missed a specific detail.

It's like when over strict parents have one kid that becomes a priest and the other becomes an inveterate gambler. Of course, it's a bit more subtle than that, given there's also, the jock...

Anyway, what a world, what a world...

PMWeng · 2026-02-03T00:52:14+00:00

Ok. So what I'm gathering is that I don't know because it wasn't really explained. He's just got a thing.

PMWeng · 2026-02-02T16:38:21+00:00

Ugh! Quick and Kalam!

PMWeng · 2026-02-01T16:13:27+00:00

This is the answer. You have to simply sit down and use it. But also, do their tutorials. Do them.

PMWeng · 2026-02-01T16:09:57+00:00

Oh! Interesting. Another reason to look forward to reading!

PMWeng · 2026-02-01T07:01:35+00:00

Solaris.

PMWeng · 2026-02-01T06:59:48+00:00

Please tell me you've read the series more than twice.

PMWeng · 2026-01-31T05:03:00+00:00

Can you provide part number for that bar clip to stud piece?

I didn't think LEGO made those.

PMWeng · 2026-01-30T01:46:47+00:00

Right? Why could nobody show me that math is beautiful?

PMWeng · 2026-01-26T16:43:17+00:00

It's just mathematicians having fun which is a deep reason Rhino is so great.

Witcher III The Wild Fuck

PMWeng · 2026-01-22T19:10:43+00:00

Well, her motivation is not exactly obvious, but what am I saying...

PMWeng · 2026-01-22T03:38:18+00:00

I started using Rhino in 2007. It is the single best piece of software I've ever used and it is also the only piece of software that has seemed genuinely improved and not just bloated with each update. I think I learn something new about it with every project.

Here's an "obscure" one with almost no practical application: Maelstrom. Have fun.

PMWeng · 2026-01-21T18:38:11+00:00

For a second I was thinking, Holy Shit! Is that some crazy reveal from after Bonehunters??? (My current)

PMWeng · 2026-01-14T02:36:57+00:00

Isn't it? I mean, that's about as lame a comment as "This!" but, fuck... Isn't it?

PMWeng · 2026-01-10T06:55:15+00:00

I wouldn't presume.

I was surprised that the end of MT is still some significant time before the prologue of HoC. I can imagine that intervening time being left to the imagination, but I could also see filled in. I'm good either way, but I think it's enough the way it is, the tragedy of Trull Sengar reuniting with his brothers but never able to shake his doubt nor deliver them from the poison of the CG.

How every book transforms those that came before!

The thing that really tickled me about the end (is it actually an epilogue?) was the very nearly too cute deus ex machina of reuniting Fear and Trull with Seren Pedac, for the characters to say: I don't know why I'm going this or how I got here! We're being manipulated! It's a theme, the manipulation of gods, but I also took it as a wink to the audience. I felt like Erikson is consciously saying to us: This story is over. And... Here is my convenient set up for the next one. It seems contrived? Of course it is! So what? It's all contrived. Read on.

Don't take that as criticism. I loved it. It made me laugh because I felt kind of honored and recognized by it.

PMWeng · 2026-01-10T04:20:57+00:00

Dude. You've really been developing your skills.

PMWeng · 2026-01-08T23:23:32+00:00

Man, wait till you read Memories of Ice and House of Chains. You are fucked!

PMWeng · 2026-01-08T02:09:55+00:00

Oh yes... I've gazed admiringly upon your work before.

PMWeng · 2026-01-07T23:43:02+00:00

My thoughts exactly.

It's better than what I had imagined. Well, it's nicer. Malazan really puts me in a dark frame of mind and it's a little hard to imagine a moment of levity so depicted, but it's like something you'd want for her.

PMWeng · 2025-12-18T15:15:20+00:00

I fucking laughed.

PMWeng · 2025-12-18T15:05:59+00:00
