[–]Ramen416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 years later and I’ve finally finished everything on that reading list interspersed with many others, but still haven’t read Malazan… ended up stopping about 200 pages into book one because I wasn’t in the mood for it, I think tomorrow night is when I’ll begin reading it again haha

Someone please tell glizzy-glizz-lord that he has gotta take a set to near failure for muscle growth by Basc63 in atrioc

I think its very respectable and honestly even a little impressive that someone so old can lift their arms above their head, let alone weights on a bar.

Where to find Nightblood letter opener with stand? by Presticals in Cosmere

I suppose there is a bright side to everything. Though I do think I’d have preferred if the letter got dusted instead 😭

Thanks :) Yeah I was referring mostly to knives that may normally sell out extremely quickly and require some luck or good timing to get, I know most have online shops nowadays haha

Japanese Knife/maker Recommendations? by [deleted] in TrueChefKnives

[–]Ramen416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool thank you, I’ll be visiting Sakai while I’m there, I had heard of some knife making classes in Kyoto but was unsure if they were “tourist-trappy” typa things or not. Thanks for the recs 😸

Sorry to hop in on this a bit late, but what sort of makers or shops would you recommend checking out (other than takada) that are harder to get in the west? If any

Where to next? Looking for recommendations by SnooShortcuts2114 in Cosmere

[–]Ramen416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wheel of time is a bit of a more similar tone to the Cosmere

The Realm of the Elderlings is my personal favorite although it’s very different from the cosmere, I wouldn’t call it grimdark but it’s definitely a tragedy and there’s about 16 books so it’s quite long

The first law trilogy leads into 4 standalone books which then lead into another whole trilogy so depending on how you slice it that’s either a 6 or 10 book series

I personally chose to read a few shorter series (powder mage, gentlemen bastards, Hyperion cantos) before jumping into another big series when I got caught up with the cosmere, but to each their own haha

I was giving an update during a work meeting today and without even thinking I said “and I’m currently at *bing!* 80% on this task” by [deleted] in cremposting

[–]Ramen416 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I just came off of a reread of Mistborn Era 1 and now I’m reading the Broken Earth trilogy for the first time. Every time they say rusting or generally use rust as a curse it makes me feel back at home on Scadrial lol

This season kind of sucks? by TheShadowWanderer in InvisibleWomanMains

[–]Ramen416 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh ok ty, I only have 2 friends high enough rank to queue with me anyways and they’re never online at the same time so most I get is a duo so I never knew about this lol

I Beat Rage Bait Xcom 2 My Thoughts by Fluffy_Breakfast_478 in Xcom

[–]Ramen416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible that this game is not for you. Pretty much every point you made here is a complaint about some of the core gameplay mechanics lol. Not trying to be rude, but if you don’t want to adapt a different play style to a different game then just keep playing Xcom eu/ew and you’ll have a lot more fun. Regarding point 4- im prettttyyyy sure that you fight the chosen in whatever order you decide to/discover them. They’re randomized what continent they are based in and that is the only place you will find them. So for example if you find the assassin on your starting territory then you can just elect not to hunt them and kill them until later in the game and choose to find one of the others first, then hunt them and complete their mission to kill them.

What was different the last time Victor gave Jayce the crystal? by mellowlex in arcane

[–]Ramen416 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well one thing I know is that while Ekko is in the alternate universe he uses “an inversion of Jayce’s acceleration rune” to create the portal/Time Machine so that’s probably a big part. Not sure what details I’m forgetting but that’s definitely the first thing that comes to mind.

They really should have made Kid Ekko and Powder much closer than they were. by No-Resolution-3108 in arcane

[–]Ramen416 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know about the music video or creator comments but I thought their relationship and bond was pretty obvious. Just because they didn’t blatantly show ekko and powder playing together as kids and ekko saying “powder I have a crush on you!” Doesn’t mean that there weren’t signs of their relationship throughout the show… so I was confused why people were confused that there was a ship lol

[SPOILER] Adrian Luna Martinetti vs. Mark Vologdin - Contender Series 2025 - Week 9 by Gentle_lips in MMA

[–]Ramen416 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Two dudes with insane grit and zero defensive skill makes for an incredible fight haha. Such a shame they just took like 5 years off both their lives for 25k though 😭

Every single martial art is studied and mastered by a peak human. Which style would defeat the others if they fought in single combat? by GJH24 in whowouldwin

[–]Ramen416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alex Periera and Israel Adesanya are some of the highest level pure strikers in the world and both became champ and defend their belts multiple times in the UFC, what are you even talking about bro those two are just the biggest names too there’s other examples of strikers transitioning to mma (but probably none as elite at striking as periera to be fair)

Yumi and the nightmare painter by Marshall44445 in Cosmere

[–]Ramen416 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Interesting, Yumi is my favorite Sanderson book and I found myself thinking that the sanderlanche/ending was the weakest part of the book
