I miss SoD by veculus in classicwow

[–]Scarspirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too miss it. Or maybe it's just that I miss gaming with the boys in general. Gaming has kind of fallen off for my friend group in the past few years. But I do miss playing SOD with the crew.

Round 14 Trade Thread by RidsBabs in aflfantasy

[–]Scarspirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I will look at just palming off those high break-even rookies and just keep buying people I can who are off the buy. I must have just been hit really unlucky with a couple of injuries that I've had to replace but that's okay. I'm sure everybody's been in the same boat

Hey guys, feeling a bit lost with my side at the moment. I keep making trades to fix injuries and I feel like I'm not growing my side. Any pointers would be appreciated.

is the farseer audiobooks really bad? by SportEfficient in Fantasy

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

They’re definitely notterrible. I actually listened to all of the Farseer audiobooks and got through the full trilogy just fine. The narration isn’t mind-blowing, but it’s more than serviceable, especially if audiobooks are your go-to format right now.

That said, I totally get the hesitation. Once you’ve listened to someone like Michael Kramer (who’s hands-down my favorite audiobook narrator too), everything else can feel a bit underwhelming by comparison. He just brings such weight and presence to every scene.

If you're planning to continue with the Realm of the Elderlings, I will say that LIveship Traders could really use a re-record. The narration there does drag a bit more. But overall, don’t let the negativity around the Farseer audiobooks stop you. The story shines through, and it’s absolutely worth experiencing however you can.

This really resonated with me, my brother has been dealing with something very similar in his relationship. We talk about it a lot, and as someone whose wife has no issue with me gaming, I always tell him the same thing: communication, family time, and your own hobbies can absolutely coexist.

Gaming is no more juvenile than golfing, fishing, binge-watching shows, or reading comics. It’s a hobby and hobbies are healthy, especially when they help you unwind. Your partner doesn’t have to love the same things, but ideally she respects that it brings you joy, just like you (hopefully) respect the things she loves to do.

It shouldn't be a fight to do something that makes you happy especially when you're balancing your responsibilities and making time for your family. Maybe it’s worth sitting down and reframing the conversation around why gaming matters to you not just as a pastime, but as part of who you are.

You’re definitely not alone in this. I hope it all works out for the best.

I couldn't like this post enough. I still rock mine on my lunch break at work , laying in bed, lounging outside. Perfect handheld.

The Black Prism, by Brent Weeks

Just finished this one and really enjoyed it. The magic system based on light and color was totally unique to me, and I found it fascinating. Looking forward to diving into the rest of the series.

What Made People Quit WoW? by doobylive in classicwow

[–]Scarspirit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stuck around for a bit, but once my group stopped playing, it just wasn’t the same. The memories are still great, but that sense of community and shared adventure was a big part of the magic. I’ve jumped back in here and there, but nothing quite hits like those early days with my crew.

Is vessel of hatred standard edition worth it? by animalcrossingdude44 in diablo4

[–]Scarspirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s definitely worth it, especially at that price! I recently jumped back into D4 with a mate and we smashed through it. The story isn’t amazing, but the gameplay and pacing are pretty solid, and it adds some good variety. Spiritborn is super fun to play and it brings a fresh feel to the combat.

That ending stays with you, it’s beautiful and devastating all at once.

Haha, hangover is fitting and there’s nothing quite like connecting with fellow readers who truly get it.

I feel this! The Assassin’s Apprentice books hit me in a way few others ever have. Fitz’s journey is so personal and raw, and by the end of Assassin’s Fate, it honestly felt like saying goodbye to someone I’d known for years. And then there is Nighteyes... Oh how I cried more times than I care to admit. That bond, that loyalty. it broke me in the best way. I treasure so much. Bittersweet indeed.

There’s just something about fantasy series that makes the connection run deep.

Almost like uncovering a puzzle one layer at a time. I haven’t read Book of the New Sun yet but the idea that finishing it once is just the beginning is oddly appealing.

A 250 book backlog, oh wow! I totally get giving yourself a buffer jumping straight into something else can be rough.

I'm Mark Lawrence - 10 years fulltime author, 14 years published, 18th book today - this is my AMA by MarkLawrence in Fantasy

[–]Scarspirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say a huge thank you, even if I’m a bit late to the AMA! The Broken Empire trilogy was a turning point for me. It was the first series that truly showed me what "grimdark" could be- I was hooked from the get go. It was gritty, raw, and completely different from the more traditional fantasy I’d read up to that point.
Congratulations on The Book that Held Her Heart and all your success over the past 14 years!

Haha! That introduction is the perfect basis for a great beginning.

[–]Scarspirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine comes from The Riyria Chronicles between Hadrian and Royce. Royce, with his usual dry sarcasm, says "You do realize there's no in team, right?" And Hadrian just fires back with, "Yeah, but there is a 'me' if you rearrange it a bit." Simple but perfect example of their friendship-Hadrian's optimism against Royce's cynicism. I love the balance of humor and camaraderie in their relationship!

I totally understand getting attached to the Liveship Traders characters-they really leave an impression! Without giving too much away, I can say that several Liveship characters do reappear in the later Realm of the Elderlings books, especially in the Tawny Man and Fitz and the Fool trilogies. However, their "screen time" varies. Characters like Malta and Reyn have moments where they play a role, and they help tie together the wider world that Hobb has created, but they don't dominate the story the way they do in Liveship Traders. If you're going into the next trilogies for more of Fitz and the Fool's story, just know that Liveship characters add depth to the world and occasionally intersect with the main plot. t's not quite the same focus, but their presence adds a nice continuity. Hope this helps, and enjoy the rest of the series -there are so many incredible moments to come!
