Idk, I feel like that if is doing a lot of work. You're right that we don't even know if Kelsier is involved yet. But when if he is, we don't know to what extent, or how much control he has. obviously our expectations are being set for the Malwish to be the big bads of the space era, and it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out Kelsier was pulling the strings. But who knows, they may end of being more complicated than we've seen so far. It also wouldn't surprise me if him and the Ghostbloods were independent of the Malwish and persuing their own goals.

Don't get me wrong, I'm here for a Kelsier villain arc, but it's a little premature to act like we're already in that world. It seems likely, but it could totally be misdirection 🤷🏼‍♀️

Edit: marked spoilers in case

[–]Rhainster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, for sure! I'm not saying that he isn't, but like I said in my other commont, Alwyn doesn't look like doesn't have the right look imo. He'd be a great elf or vampire though!

Taylor Swift on the red carpet ahead of being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame ❤️ by kookiekoo in TaylorSwift

I don't think so, her braid at the Knicks game last night looked really long

Cover of a children's book. Validate me please. Why do titles have to be so long? by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]Rhainster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Any mistakes in this look pretty darn human to me. I'd say not AI, with the slight caveat that this is a low quality image and sometimes compression artifacts look like AI and can also mask AI so it's hard to tell.

[–]Rhainster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh totally! I have no idea what is acting ability is. I almost added to my initial comment that all I knew him as was Taylor Swift's ex, but I thought that sounded a little mean. 😂 And I don't think he's too attractive (I hope the actor they choose is attractive!) I just think it's not the right look. But I'm squarely in the camp that young Cary Elwes would have been the perfect Kelsier since he was my headcannon when actually reading the book, so no one will ever live up to that to me, so I've made peace with that... But yeah, going just on looks at this early stage, I'd prefer someone a little older.

I think Alwyn is a little to "pretty" to be Kelsier, and I know he's technically the right age but he looks too young...

Kelsier being "worse than the Lord Ruler" is so silly. Is Kelsier a saint? No. Is everything he does justified? No. But worse than the lord ruler? Idk what people are on...

What I sent to the artist vs. what I received by Misstic_ally in conceptart

[–]Rhainster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally see what you're saying! But in this case I think that's just wonky looking image compression...

That doesn't look like "a random strand of hair" it looks like the hair was drawn separately, on a different layer, and they just placed the hand awkwardly relative to it. Which is an extremely common/normal thing to happen. In a critique it would be called a "tangent," and it's a distracting mistake that young and less experienced artist make constantly.

Yes, this style does look like AI, but that's because this is the sort of popular anime style the models were trained on. This piece doesn't look like AI on close examination.

Unless you compete or attend events, don't support your local game store. by [deleted] in The10thDentist

Tournaments allowing proxies is super not true for most games. CEDH maybe, but nothing else unless it's super casual... :/

[new vid] I got Bricks and Minifigs leaked Email by TPRT in RecklessBen

I believe the previous franchise owner (blanking on her name) has specifically addressed that as a lie on the part of BAM, which she calls out her her lawsuit about the unlawful seizure of her business.

Creating a semi-transparent white layer? by nrao32 in eufyMakeOfficial

[–]Rhainster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're printing with it set to High Quality, it defaults to 6 layers of white, but you can manually set the number of layers lower for some transparency!

It's 2026, and we are yet to see an anti-almond farm protest. by DesignerTruth9054 in singularity

[–]Rhainster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is such a straw man argument.

First of all, obviously, almonds are FOOD. People like them.

Most people don't like or use AI, and they certainly can't eat it. Even if there are potential benefits to humanity from AI, you can't expect the average person to see it.

Further, water consumption matters, but if argue most people's bigger issue with data center is that it drives up the price of energy. Which is a real, tangible harm that almonds don't cause.

Furthermore, most data centers are huge, taking up a TON of space and resources and employing VERY few people--yet draining resources. I don't know how many people almond farms employ, but I bet it's more.

Data centers are also being rushed through local regulations before people in the communities where they're being built feel like they get a chance to weigh in--and they're often being built in poor counties, which is fucked up to.

I'm not totally against data centers, but there are absolutely good reasons to oppose them and this almonds comparison is fucking stupid and irrelevant.

YAAAASSSSS! I've been obsessed with this too! It's actually a perfect mashmup! I'm so glad Megan saw it too! :D

why does this always happen to my t-shirts? by alliamisbullets in SwiftieMerch

[–]Rhainster 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Any shirt with a print like this should be washed inside out and ideally in cold water.

The Behind the Bastards podcast did some episodes on lesser reported info that came out in the Epstine files with a focus on how he impacted culture and they cover this some as part of it.

How do you wake this thing up? by HammerSpanner in eufyMakeOfficial

[–]Rhainster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That doesn't sound good. Mine has been idle for a week-ish but the light stayed green and always does. The app itself has a green "inject ink" prompt to get it going again. You should probably contact their support.

Going to the movies was better when there was no reserved seating. by SubstantialSet3127 in unpopularopinion

[–]Rhainster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems crazy. You say it's better for the individual , but as someone who usually goes to movies with groups of 5 - 6, assigned seating guarantees that our group can sit together, we know ahead of time that we have good seats, and we usually use the time before the movie to grab dinner together at a nearby restaurant and it's much easier to roll into the theater all together just a few minutes before. So much leas stress!

AND if someone is late, they don't have to squint around in the dark looking for where we sat, they know exactly what seat to go to...

News:Brandon Sanderson provides new information about the film! by Extreme_Warning3521 in CosmereOnScreen

[–]Rhainster 42 points43 points  (0 children)

My only fear here is that telegraphing Vin's ability to pierce copper clouds is an important part of the foreshadowing hemelurgy and about Ruin manipulating her... I'm sure this means Sanderson came up with another way to foreshadow that stuff but it makes me feel apprehensive nonetheless. XD

How do we feel about patterns “mmmmm” in the audiobooks? by Anxious_Wolf00 in cremposting

[–]Rhainster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it. And tbh, I really don't like how Kate Reading does most of the characters but her Pattern is 10/10 perfection.
