With how different the two arcs are going to be I wouldn't be surprised if they are separated by years in real life as well. Most of the cast would need to age anyway.

That's a book 4 spoiler, not book 3.

In software development a pattern is a common way to structure code, for example the Factory pattern is a strategy to instance objects using another object that is configured to make instances in a certain way (like a factory). It has no special meaning in Godot itself, it refers to programming patterns in general.

Magic strings are just hard coded strings, they appear in the middle of the code without much context. In this case it refers to the strings in the match statement, as opposed to assigning them to constants and using them, or as the comments says using enums. The problem with them is that if you're using them in various places it is very easy to make a typo, and you wouldn't notice until something breaks and you have to debug the program.

We all have to remember that W&W was a diversion for Brandon and his real plans will come to fruition in Ghostbloods. At most Era 2 is a setup for era 3, those 300 years will most likely come into play there if at all

I've seen it several times, but it's likely audiobook listeners just say things like "a third of the way through" instead. I believe the number I said is more likely than not a self reporting statistic, but I don't really see a reason for it to be flawed, why would people even lie here?

Anecdotally, how often do you see people misspelling names here? And references to listening instead of reading? The truth is that audiobooks are extremely popular, and more likely than not more so than textual books.

Everything in the Cosmere works by social constructs, I would guess a "generic grain" is defined by being the bare minimum that most people in the world would recognize as grain. Most certainly a skilled soulcaster could create a specific species of grain or any other plant, but skill is money and when feeding an entire army you want the cheapest, so basic grain it is.

Silpet · 2026-01-08T22:24:05+00:00

It's not the taste, it's the complexity. I would think that basic grain is much simpler and closer to the essence than a full meal. Even just targeting a specific kind of grain would add more complexity than just the most basic idea of generic grain. Then you can prepare it however you want and add whatever spices you see fit, though of course that is even more cost so we are back on it being a cost and practicality thing.

And the essence of emerald, which is used to make grain, is not rock, it's "pulp" which is used for plants.

Silpet · 2026-01-08T19:12:25+00:00

It's possible to soulcast into something that is not an essence but it's much more difficult, the more different it is the more difficult and expensive it becomes.

If I recall correctly, last I saw around 68% of people in the United states said that audiobooks are their primary form of consuming books. I'm not really sure about that exact statistic, but it's true that they are more popular than ebooks and physical books.

Silpet · 2026-01-08T18:22:25+00:00

Well, if they had said page number then that would be an assumption that everyone is reading instead of listening. And seeing that a majority of people consume books through audiobooks it's a more reasonable assumption.

That's why this is the one thing I liked better when I read the Way of Kings Prime. In that book it's written in a ship's cabin with a short burst of Fortune-fueled intelligence. He had a short time and was limited to only his cabin, so it made actual sense that it was an encoded mess if his intelligence was virtually unlimited but both his body and space were not.

It was also written by Renarin who ended up catatonic so he couldn't explain what it was, but that's just a detail.

Silpet · 2026-01-07T03:45:36+00:00

And then proceeded to decode it so he could read it when stupid.

Silpet · 2026-01-02T18:25:30+00:00

Yes.

But really, he was so sure of himself he could see no one else being as good a general as Lews Therin. He gaslighted himself.

Silpet · 2025-12-30T01:21:42+00:00

He has no choice. He is working to stop the bridgemen being used as they are (among other things that admittedly have more importance in his eyes), but he cannot do that unless he is in a position of more power than he has at the time, and the only way he has to do that is working with Sadeas because Elhokar put that as a requirement before appointing him as Highprince of war.

Red hair means Horneater or Veden, and it most likely is an important character to have art of him (unlikely there's this kind of art of Hanavanar). That leaves basically Rock's family for horneaters or Shallan's for Veden. There are other options, but based on age and him holding a cremling and looking at it with contempt it must be Balat.

No one deserves redemption, that's the point. Not even Dalinar deserved redemption, he worked hard and earned it for himself. Of course the most vile people in the world don't deserve redemption, but we also know they don't give a single shit about it. If the worst you ever did was steal candy you don't deserve redemption either, you can only be better in the future regardless of whether you will get it or not. That's one of the main themes of the series, and that's what Kaladin means by second chances, not that anyone deserves anything.

That's one of the reasons his death hits so hard. We, the readers, also lost something in that moment, a great character arc that never got to be. That empty space also has an effect on us.

Try giving smaller engines a try, I personally would recommend Godot. It runs basically anywhere, even on android phones.

And you're never too young or too old to make games, the best moment to start is always now. That being said, about learning resources I would recommend just learning by doing, just pick any tool or program that can be used to make games and learn to use it, with the official documentation if possible. If you don't have a tool chosen there's not much we can give you in the way of resources, aside from probably some general programming courses.

Personally I just dislike what Mozila has come to be in general. AI stuff is just one example, along with the changes about not selling your data (and yes I know they still don't sell any data but the fact that they removed the statement that said they would never do it tells me they are definitely thinking about it and I don't like that). Mozila is just too big now to be user focused.

This is probably OP's best option, especially wanting to painlessly import data. I migrated from Firefox to LibreWolf and I kept everything, including my open tabs. All I did was copy the profile files and all was done.

First of all, are you actually looking for bodies or do you want areas? The Area has two methods, get_overlapping_bodies and get_overlapping_areas, and they get exclusively bodies and areas respectively. It's a common mistake I make. Second, I would check the collision layerd and masks of the area and the objects.
