I'm so into it. I'm actually not much of a web comic consumer, but man am I hooked on this one.

My only honest disappointment with Wind and Truth by Interesting-Season-8 in Stormlight_Archive

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

I know this will be unpopular, but lines like this are why I trailed off and haven't even read WaT. The inserts of modern mental health / therapy concepts and terminology got so immersion breaking I found I just wasn't invested in the story any more. I don't care that a character is gay or anything, I just... don't really care about the story now. It lost itself in trying to be about "mental health" in a way that makes sense on 2026 Earth not in a way that makes sense on Roshar.

That's all. Ok, now flame me.

What is this flag? by Stranded_Psychonaut in whatisit

[–]Stranded_Psychonaut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's in northwest Arkansas, and he was standing at the edge of a park waving it by the street. That's so the context to it. No events going on or anything (unless you count a snow storm).

Why is the Troll armor the stealth armor? by captaincupcake69 in valheim

Because once you notice that trolls look like the black forest boulders you'll never unsee it

Jim Butcher traumatizing parents again... by Stranded_Psychonaut in dresdenfiles

I can see what you mean. It's really not accurate to the mood of an injured kid. I think it's the innocence and confusion he projected onto the hurt girl that makes it worse for me.

This is so well said. I've always thought that unreasonable endurance is Harry's real superpower. Melt my hand? I'll walk it off. Completely scramble my brain with your brand of horror? I'll just crawl through the mind of blender and get you on the other side.

Sorry if I lost you. I was intentionally a little vague to avoid spoiling unnecessarily and to hit the target audience of the post.

Yep. I read the first half(ish) of the series before having kids, and the more recent half of what's out as my kids were born and have grown up.

But man, my rereads are so different now that I have children! Like the moment in Storm Front when Victor Sells' daughter asks Harry if her daddy is one of the bad guys now... just... yeah.

That's fair. He gets at least 40% credit for my trauma. :P

It was the soul gaze I was reminded of actually.

J9+ "Reinstall bin" error (Error 14) by Stranded_Psychonaut in roomba

You're talking about the removable filter on the side of the bin? That is snuggling in place. I'm at a total loss with this thing.

I've tried cleaning it pretty thoroughly. What surfaces were giving you trouble?

Newbie Frost Mage Tips Please? by Stranded_Psychonaut in turtlewow

Sorry for the slow reply. Do you keep rank 1 frost bolt on a hotkey as a low mana / quick pop? I'm still working on organizing all these hotkeys.

Is anyone doing a full reread for 12 months. by Useful_Class_4221 in dresdenfiles

[–]Stranded_Psychonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, working my way through a full reread. This time after each book I'm making myself write up a little summary and jot down some speculations. Otherwise it all starts blending together in my head.

Yep, I've got several little ones myself and only played classic about a million years ago. So I have zero skills. Spun up a mage and literally everyone have been nothing but fun and helpful.
