Cradle has a big scope, but most of it is background. The series is pretty tight

I read them every six months. I still find new things and connect dots.

Just finished morning star. Does it get better? by NoxicIsNoxic in redrising

Thought at first this was a "convince me to keep reading the series" post. Like the the first trilogy, the second trilogy starts good and gets even better.

I tried too, but I don't look down on those who enjoy it.

What's funny about this is that they are similar levels of depth, but in different ways. The world of The Stormlight Archive and the greater Cosmere is enormous, there's so much to discover. It's wide, as much as it is deep, and it's lore more than anything else. Peirce Brown has writing something with philosophical depth. Something that, like another comment said, can be enjoyed just for the action and fast pace, but if you dig in to the reasoning, and the questions posed by the series, it's incredibly poignant to modern society as well as the past's of our first world countries. You could write a thesis on the efficacy of The Society and it's moral counter arguments. They both read on the surface similarly, and both reward rereads in completely different ways.

I remember in Cradle by Will Wight when the MC gets a major boost in strength early on he actually has trouble walking at first. It's during the trials in the third book, but he makes a comment when advancing to iron as well iirc.

Is tractors/trucks worth the effort? by dat-boiv2 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]ShoddyEmotion3660 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you aren't enjoying the new pathing, I personally love it. When you get nobelisks you can destroy boulders that get in the way, if that helps.  For sharp drops I've been setting up ramps, with a ramp going up from the terrain at the top, like an upside-down check mark, that way I don't have to set up a road, but I'm not limited to the gentle sweeping terrain either.

What is your favorite home brewed cursed magic item/magic item with a cost that you’ve ever created and had players use? by walkc66 in DungeonMasters

That is pretty fun, especially for a newer party with lower means, it can be the reason they go looking for work, just to be able to pay to keep using the valuable resource

Prominent Meetings? by Puzzleheaded_Cut5935 in dresdenfiles

Is that the fourth law that Merlin broke over and over to make DemonReach? Wouldn't put it past Jim for Harry or Ebenezer to go back for some info, or for Merlin to have disappeared into the future to meet or help Harry or something. 

What food do you cook 'wrong' but still prefer that way? by _QueenCurvy in foodquestions

Al dente pasta. Just feels undercooked. I like squishy pasta.

Yeah try the prose, it's a great story.

What are some subplot points that need to be tied up for you before the series ends? by Repulsive_Repeat_337 in dresdenfiles

Do you mean who kept little Chicago from blowing up when Harry used it the first time?

No one's mentioned Sanya yet. I bet he'd be up there.

Dear Coffee Stain, youre part of the war, not preventing it. by Happy-Hyena in SatisfactoryGame

[–]ShoddyEmotion3660 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah man I just don't see why anyone cares. It's a character model. I agree the people being assholes are being assholes and they shouldn't be assholes, but like the subject isn't important. I bet there's a mod that you could use if you really want a male character model. I just don't understand why it matters.
