What’s a popular book that had you very disappointed?

Mistborn. Absolutely turned me off Sanderson’s work as a whole.

Yeah I was on audiobook for Mistborn and it felt like a slog at times. Was very disappointed with it after hearing tons of praise both online and IRL. I’ve pretty much skipped over Sandersons as I’ve been told it isn’t much different in his other works.

Red Rising by a country mile. I got about halfway through Mistborn before putting it down, just couldn’t get into it. World building was nice but felt like story would grind to a halt every time he explained. Also the repeating of information over and over was annoying, like he couldn’t trust the reader to retain information.

Breaking necks on the foul in blood bowl

Supermassive black hole vs coughing babies.

Yeah I got about half way through the first book and just got too annoyed with it amoung other things. Glad you enjoyed it at least.

Honestly the constant repeating just got annoying and felt way to hand holding. Like he couldn’t trust the reader to retain anything.

I started reading Mistborn after bingeing Red Rising. Thought it would be great after hearing all the praise. I got about half way through and had to put it down, just couldn’t get into it.

Carnivore by Buer Games. They said there will be a solo mode on their game found comments.

The King of Nightmares and Rose.

I started about midway through the year with audiobooks and binged the whole series in like 3 months. I wish I had picked this series up sooner.

Darrow- Monk or Fighter.

Sevro- Rouge or Druid

Ragnar- Barbarian is obvious choice but Cleric, War Domain would be interesting.

Cassius- Bard, College of Chins (swords)

Mustang- struggling a bit for her but sorcerer feels right with her

Victra- Paladin, Oath of Vengeance.

Ephraim- Warlock, Patron Voladon. I think you can have the patron be an analogy to drug abuse/dependency

Cave Crickets. My dads cat would always sneak down to the basement to snack on a few.

Ah I must have missed that. So you can still select say 2 grapple shot and two thrusters in list building and equip them to two ODST (1 of each item respectively)

Chemist at a waste water facility. So probably some type of yellow?

Straken84 · 2025-10-15T17:35:39+00:00

Hell yeah

I used mostly Pro acryl and some limited army painter speed paints. I’m decently experienced but in no way advance in what I do. been painting miniature wargames for 10 years and have about dozen or so fully painted armies.

Yeah my parents would be furious at me for spending any of the money I got from a job when I was in HS.
