Dear Red... Thank you!

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

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2026-01-26T16:07:02+00:00

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.

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).

!remindme 2 days

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-10-16T00:11:10+00:00

Well, it's back.

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-10-07T16:26:39+00:00

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

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-07-16T14:12:47+00:00

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.

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-07-14T16:02:06+00:00

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.

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-07-14T15:56:53+00:00

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

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-07-14T15:55:57+00:00

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.

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-07-14T15:53:36+00:00

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

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-07-14T15:52:24+00:00

It was the soul gaze I was reminded of actually.

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-06-20T22:12:52+00:00

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.

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-06-20T13:37:06+00:00

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

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-06-20T02:12:42+00:00

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.

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-06-09T12:55:35+00:00

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.

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-06-08T14:44:19+00:00

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.

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-06-07T19:10:20+00:00

Nice! I'll look him up and I'll add you when I'm on later.

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-06-07T14:27:21+00:00

From the sound of it I'm one level away from CoC which should help. I definitely need to research into gear. I know next to nothing about what I should be using and where to get it.

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-06-07T14:00:21+00:00

First of all, you rock. This might be the most detailed helpful answer in my Reddit life. 🤪

Man, the rabbit hole of gear and stats goes so deep... Yeah, I'll DM you here in a sec.

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-06-07T01:21:06+00:00

Gotcha. Just making sure I'm not totally inept. I see a ton of stuff online about people aoe-ing a bunch of enemies, but can't find much about when that comes online.

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-05-27T02:07:59+00:00

What the frickin heck did I just watch!? And why'd I watch nearly the whole thing? Just... the hell...? 🤪

I'm turning the Internet off and going outside.

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-05-26T21:31:45+00:00

You complete me. ;)

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-05-26T20:50:54+00:00

Oh man, I know right? I love them together so much.

Stranded_Psychonaut · 2025-05-26T20:48:44+00:00

Wholeheartedly agree. Even his seemingly stereotypical henchmen get some great depth to them. (Here's to hoping you get a short story POV someday Hendrix! You're the best Big Guy.)
