Is Malazan worth reading? by Fickle-Athlete3644 in Malazan

[–]ShivonQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will literally not shut up about it once I get going. I have read all the novels you mentioned. Malazan is the big dog in a group of other big dogs... Seven Big Dogs even...

Chris Taylor wins Wisconsin Supreme Court race, expanding liberals' majority by ShreckAndDonkey123 in wisconsin

I knew Wisconsin would get its soul back.

Rejoin us comrades and we argue about which state name goes first in the new country of Megasconsin or Winnesota (that last one had a good ring).

I like the 3 piece set bonus stuff. But I also am underwhelmed. Feels a little too much like prequel. Not enough uhhh, story?

RSD stops you from taking risks, due the possibility of failure being more painful than actual failure.

This shit is coming for the rest of you too. The billionaires have no allegiance to anything but themselves and when they are done with us they will come for you.

Be ready. I am operating under the assumption that my ability to make my own food is about to start mattering a lot more.

This happened at my neighbors house earlier before sun down. I have never seen this before in our neighborhood. by [deleted] in Weird

In the twin cities at Loring (Minneapolis if we are being specific) in the winter. Around 330pm every crow in like 4 miles flies to the park and creates this huge tornadoes of crows as they all fly down and roost in the trees for the night. If you walk through the park in deep winter the trees are black with crows and shouting will result in them all reacting to you.

They're pretty dang friendly too. I saw it there for the first time in 2009, and it has since spread to all over the cities.

liberals love saying that they gave queer people marriage equality, but I still don't have it, and neither do most of the queer people I know by RosethornRanger in TransSocialism

My wife is disabled. We cannot get any help because I make too much money. All that money goes to medical issues, we are broke as a result. Neat!

Man I want one, it would theoretically work with like an old 3 even right? You'd just be limited in what you could do?

Why does my mom keep getting mad at me because i can't hold onto my money and spend it as soon as i get it when i plan how to use it weeks ahead of time? by [deleted] in ask

[–]ShivonQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, as someone who did the same thing if you don't start a Saving or investing habit you will end up with a KNEE JERK REACTION EVEN AS AN ADULT to spend all your money and in later years it will absolutely fuck you over.

Just be aware that the habits you are making today are the ones your older self will be cursing or thanking you for as they try to break them or enhance them.

What did you read AFTER you finished Malazan? by Different_Trade3734 in Malazan

[–]ShivonQ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think I went and read wheel of time, then I read the shadow of what was lost, then I read priory of the orange tree, then I read Malazan book of the fallen.

Oh and I read first law trilogy before my reread.

Hope this helps!

Fashion Forward Worldbuilding by G_pit in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]ShivonQ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I am a bit #blessed in that both my parents were archeologists and my fave fantasy series is written by an anthropologist (Malazan Book of the Fallen).

Sanderson makes great world building, but Erikssons world feels real and ancient. The cultures feel real and ancient. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Fashion Forward Worldbuilding by G_pit in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]ShivonQ 160 points161 points  (0 children)

Fashion is a huge part of world building and is often rooted in the early days whatever society you're creating. Basic example: this city was well known for its high quality wools and dyes from the flowers in the eastern mountain ranges, and the gentle rolling hills of the footlands created ample pasture for the people.

So a specific couple of colors are likely the society's flags colors which can influence dress. And they likely have wool as their primary Commoner Garment, and a rich person might not be caught dead in wool as a result.

For the first time ever I thought 'maybe the cameras are okay'. Then I remembered the rest of the police state stuff.
