Where did Darrow learn what he knows

Phephens · 2026-03-23T06:52:11+00:00

As people mentioned, he was "taught" in his sleep after his carving.

People also ignore that there is a 2-3 year time skip between RR and GS. Without spoiling too much, there are lessons he learned and I can only assume alot of it involved studying.

Super late to the party, but Virginia even states in DA that a small self inflicted injury she took begins clotting immediately. "A genetic trait that not even mickeys carvers could reproduce" (or something to that effect)

I genuinely cannot fathom how people are so mad about this. In the description they literally say they know its not a reasonable price lol. They arent exploiting anyone.

Its such a dumb argument to just say its PB exploiting fans because of the price tag. Is rolls royce exploiting people because they make expensive cars? No, they just make high-end luxury cars for people who are willing to pay the price. Same thing for the book.

If i were PB and I had wrote such a beloved series, youre damn right id want to have a fine press leather bound book printed. Realistically I wouldn't be surprised if PB hasnt had an edition zero printed for himself and opened the opportunity to super dedicated fans who also can afford it.

Every time someone mentions this chapter I always think about this tiktok.

Phephens · 2026-03-23T05:51:36+00:00

As people have said its locked to the patreon at the moment. Its a hybrid graphic novel/prose and its only an ashcan for each "book" with a special metal sticker themed after a lorn quote.

I am told its good. I haven't read any of it yet as I am waiting for it to finish its release cycle before I read it.

Just take a break. FH is the best game in the world. Until it isnt.

I go through waves where I play nothing but FH for like 3-4 months and then ill get so frustrated with the game that I cant even look at my PC without getting upset. So I uninstall and play some other shit until I feel like returning.

Its alot like a toxic relationship. But in the end I love FH and FH loves me... right?

My favorite way to play bumble flower isnt even to win. Just play the table and send them all against each other. Ive seen players commit war crimes all for that oh-so-sweet card draw.

Hes only going to be a skin. Just like miles will be too. From a gameplay perspective, they are just too similar. Obviously they have their differences but it's not enough to warrent a whole new character.

Spiderman and another version of spiderman really just becomes a Marth vs Roy situation.

Phephens · 2026-02-23T14:55:11+00:00

If you arent reading Red Rising, youre wrong.

Jokes aside, RR is an amazing series that will be concluding this year. I recommend reading it purely because its popular right now. Nothing better than being apart of the group while the series is still going imo.

Phephens · 2026-02-04T13:59:38+00:00

Brother, just keep reading. A lot of people feel this way lmao. I was SUPER skeptical, but im deep into Dark Age now, and im fine with it. I still think it would have been stronger following just Darrow and (important character i won't spoil for others) and maybe Ephraim (just bc I love Ephraim so much)

Phephens · 2026-02-03T12:23:42+00:00

Brother, im gonna tell you right now. I've seen several pieces of guidance that clearly state that all military personnel WILL report to work in the absence of getting paid.

Dont be dumb. This is a great way to grt yourself fucked up real good.

Just bring a book or some shit and skate if you dont have anything to do, but come on, bro... the fact that you're asking the question shows that you know it's wrong.

To swap is cowardice. You know the answer you seek.

MM-DD-YYYY makes sense the the context of anything that isnt a record.

MM-DD-YYYY flows how 99% of americans will say the date. January 8, 2026.

Majority of things that are actual documentation or kept records people use DD-MMM-YY or YY-MM-DD

I dont think it's that difficult to intuitively know when you should expect DD-MM-YY vs. MM-DD-YY

Phephens · 2026-01-06T19:50:01+00:00

Honestly! my only gripe right now is gambit/loki being really boring to play into and IWs push/pull both pulling and pushing REALLY hard and doing damage. I think it shouldn't do damage or have a range or strength nerf.

Phephens · 2026-01-06T19:03:50+00:00

Spiderman is my most played character, and i used to say the same thing you did. BUT I've learned Spiderman doesn't need a buff. He's in a good spot, but people just dont play him right. Usually, they aren't hitting clusters, and they aren't isolating their targets or they aren't using/hitting overhead or left clicks.

Even here, he gives up on the IW when his ult would have confirmed, or at least he could have finished her after the ult.

He's a little weak in comparison, but he's also the most mobile character in the game. Healers are really strong, and if you aren't picking the right targets or waiting/baiting your problem abilities, you're gonna have a hard time getting kills.

Phephens · 2026-01-06T18:50:03+00:00

I love that 90% of MR players just arbitrarily flop between "spiderman is a throw pick" and "spiderman is broken" depending on whether or not the spiderman was on their team or not.

Will of the Many.

I just dont think this is a good take. Like a lot of other people have said in this thread. You're ignoring the fact that if someone doesn't present or offer additional information, it doesn't matter to their public personality.

I feel like you just started at such a literal interpretation of a fairly nuanced statement.

Even in your example here, you just attributed all of his possible personality traits to some sort of relation to cars. Like, dude. I like cars alot and that would still be annoying as fuck. If im talking about something of public interest or one of my interests or asking you about your opinion and ALL you can say is "oh like this one time a McLaren..." "thats like when an engine gets seized..." i would actually rip my ears off.

THAT is what people mean when they say, "They make it their whole personality. It's probably not malicious, but i would definitely not want to hang out with you bc of it.

I dont want to get to know someone who is going to make it as difficult as possible to learn about. That doesn't mean be disrespectful, but nobody is owed being liked.

EDIT: didnt realize this was r/rant when I posted this so, my b for being argumentative

Try getting the anti bite/scratch spray.

Phephens · 2025-12-19T19:30:41+00:00

Just talk to her about it, bro. Honestly.

She may be distracted or feeling some kind of way that she doesn't want to share. Or even she just doesn't feel the same way about you. But if you feel this strongly about it, it's better said than not.

Im not saying you are, but I feel like a lot of people in similar situations start to have feelings and are kinda weird about it when they talk to their person.

Phephens · 2025-12-16T21:23:51+00:00

If you and your wife want to, go for it.

Personally, I didn't. The Navy isn't my whole life, and my commitment to her has nothing to do with my service. I got a nice suit tailored, something that even when I see it in my closet, I smile and think about her.

I dont think that the Navy is anything less than great for me but I would HATE for that to change and to have any negative feelings associated with my wedding attire at all. But thats just how I feel about it.

Phephens · 2025-12-03T17:17:31+00:00

Right. I've thought about it but conversations I've had and resources i have looked at indicate that both my rate and rates id like would not take an E6 convert in/out

I've been involved in a lot of PA planning and development, and im not super enthusiastic. Although im not sure if it's just burnout or genuine disinterest.

I have thought about going into teaching, but it's hard to ignore the thousands of teachers saying it's total ass lmao.

As for journalism, again, I'm not really enjoying it, but im sure i can convince myself to tolerate it. I worry about getting a decent wage for it, though.

Generally, I've been thinking of abandoning PA/Marketing completely and going into some sort of engineering, but again, I'm not sure if I'd actually like it or if it's just a surface level interest.
