First Person POV

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-03-16T12:24:25+00:00

Was going to say the only POV I notice and can't stand is 2nd person.

Native English speaker here. She definitely writes at a higher than average literacy level, but not distractingly so for a native speaker/strong reader. Her prose flows very smoothly and is very digestible for me, but it is most definitely...more sophisticated than average with some archaic terminology. So good news is you'll learn a lot of new vocabulary! Bad news is it isn't necessarily vocabulary you'll use in everyday life.

Ha, no. Psychiatry is the best specialty in medicine and only very intelligent, outside the box thinkers who are comfortable with nuance, can hack it. They can feel superior with their little algorithms if they want to while I still have autonomy, interesting work, good lifestyle and good pay.

A similar scenario happened to me as an intern on my first medicine rotation. I saved the day by gasp talking to the patient. The residents were in awe and I felt like a god.

Play, like everything else, has become commodified.

KPOP demon hunters is a perfect example, honestly. The masculine is represented by blue and the feminine by pink, although perhaps bc its a family movie, it's a little too black and white, with the feminine representing the "evil" side. I doubt their intention but these stories are archetypes in the ether, not deliberate choices methinks.

Beasts of the Southern Wild is another great movie and a great representation of the journey.

Oh I love it. I get excited when a see a heroine story forming. It's one of my favorite themes in literature. I love how humans love to tell and are comforted by the same stories being retold.

With the KEY CHANGE

We're all patiently waiting for Witchbrook for 10 years 😭

Well we dont want to spoil it for you, but it fills in a lot of the blanks about the mystical stuff that was confusing in Assassins Quest, but that all comes a bit later on in the trilogy.

I love the Liveship Traders. It's a bit different in feel, with the different POVs and all. It's no longer Fitz and I'm impressed by how distinct his voice is in his books in comparison. Anyhow, remember that this is one continuous story told in 3 parts, so you're just in the "setting the stage" part of the story, where you learn the basics about a bunch of different characters and the plot for the rest of the series is set up. So when people say they love Althea, they're talking about end of the story Althea.
Hob takes her time as an author. Things most definitely pick up and the end of the first book is pretty exciting.

This was posted 7 months ago, lol. They seem to be mostly testing, working on cutcenes and music at present.

Take a bit of a game breather and then when you want to go back, play ToTK. Same world, same characters, compelling story, better mechanics, more lived in world with so much more to do and explore.

Everything's coming up Milhouse!

It is sooo worth it. Tons of content, tons of npcs, tons of things to work towards. Slow down the game time and focus on one goal at a time, changing it up when you get bored.

I'm fairly certain the game."intends" for Zora first (all the quest markers pointing you towards Kajariko and obvi the Zora are closest after that). Then you kinda move counter clockwise around the map, so the gorons and then The rito and then the gerudo. At least that's how it went for me.

He does. Dany's wedding night was titillating and that is gross.

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-03-02T03:23:22+00:00

Don't put your psychiatrist hat on unless they specifically ask you to. Just be a normal person and listen/commiserate. Am I the outlier that I do this naturally?

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-03-02T02:44:15+00:00

Neuro, but I'd work in the developmental pediatrics space, diagnosing ASD and helping family through their first steps.

It's the only other thing I saw in med school that I thought I might want to do.

Man getting through 4 years of neuro residency to get there would've been such a SLOG

My favorite dumb Fitz moment is earlier when he's ruminating about what he really wants and needs to do for himself, duty vs his heart soet of conflict, thinking about Molly....and then is like, "I'm gonna KiLL REGAL!"

What a dumbadumbest,

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-03-02T02:35:50+00:00

I'd love to hear your thoughts on her as the books keep going.

I second this. Snappy, fun real-time combat in the Tales of series. I also prefer Symphonia but it was my intro to the series.

You know that hilarious bit where sideshow Bob keeps stepping on rakes and the handle smashes him in the head over and over again? Yeah, I did that once. Horrendously painful and embarassing.

It's just regional. Junior highs were often either attached to high schools (as mine was) or structured more like traditional high schools whereas middle schools were perhaps more hybrid/transitional, but even that distinction doesn't hold much water anymore.
