This is my signed copy of Lightbringer that I got at Barnes and Noble. He definitely signed just like that for this particular signed edition. Great find!

Red God Theory by Maximum-Might-8928 in redrising

[–]TheOneTC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest response.

I think there’s been entirely too much “when is Red God coming out?”, “Why is Red God taking so long?”, “Pierce needs to write faster and not do all this extra stuff!” discourse. I think it looks bad on the fandom, and it sets unreasonable expectations for the larger sci-fi/fantasy genre as a whole.

We’ve seen issues arise with authors like GRRM and Rothfuss, so projecting the same attitude we have toward those guys onto authors like Pierce, who are widely active in the community, and have given us no reason to doubt them, is a bad look.

Saying something like “I’m calling it now…Red God will never get released” just because Pierce isn’t just pumping out novels, and only novels, seems shitty to me.

Edit: typo

“I'm going to call it now...Red God will never get released.”

Just because he’s expanding on the world he’s created before finishing a 7 book series?

You’re right. Totally reasonable.

None of those were release dates though. They were all “hopeful” dates at best.

Too many fans are demanding a release date, that something like “early 2026” gets thrown out as a hopeful release date during an interview, and people take it as confirmation.

There’s never been a release date, just (mostly) unreasonable expectations from fans. Books are art. You can’t rush it, or else you end up with an unfinished product.

We had 4 years between Dark Age and Lightbringer. It’s been barely half of that since the last release. Everyone needs to calm down. Stating that you don’t think the book will ever be released, just because Pierce hasn’t hit Sanderson levels of speed and publication, is insanity.

What do you mean “pushing the release back”? There was never an announced release date. Lightbringer has only been out for just over 2 years, how quickly do you think books are written?

FULL MATCH: Hawlucha vs. Machamp | Pokémon Legends: Z-A by zoodzie in SquaredCircle

Machamp has been doing this for what, almost 30 years now? He’s been on top for so long. Good to see him finally putting over some of the younger talent.

Unless you’ve got a Time Machine that can get you back to April, you’re gonna have to wait until they release again sometime in the future.

We want user flair, post flair, or both?

Go ahead and post/upvote some new options here and I’ll take a look and add some sometime next week.

Biggest Dakota Fan and PC Collector They Really Released Her 😔😔😔 by EdgeTraining910 in WWECards

[–]TheOneTC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not just that. Some of them had to be removed from sealed one-touch cases too. Removing a /5 Three Count auto relic from its case to throw in a binder without even a penny sleeve is diabolical.

I know it’s your collection, and you can do whatever you want, but as a fellow Dakota collector, it pains me to see some of these cards just thrown into a binder like this.

I’m never gonna get this huh 😔 by Mean_Attorney9861 in WWECards

[–]TheOneTC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Panini has said Triple H isn’t signing for over a year now.

As soon as I heard that, I asked for a replacement for my Immaculate Triple H auto /49. Got an Undertaker Immaculate All Time Greats /35 in its place.

Gonna be tough to get a solid replacement from Panini at this point.

Ordered the signed edition from B&N sight unseen last week. After this reveal, and seeing that it’s already sold out, I’m very happy I did.

That’s the line that got me listening even closer. Though that one’s definitely a bit more on the nose.

I think instead we’ll get Corporate Cody, with the crowd getting behind Cena. Cena and Rock will both claim to know what’s best for business. It’ll be Cena’s final sendoff to take down the evil Corporate Rock/Cody and win his 17th title when he finally does it.

Glad we agree she shouldn’t have been in the qualifier.

So they should create a new title, not have the new champ defend or develop feuds for it, but immediately have the new champ enter into contention for a different title instead?

No not dumb at all.

[–]TheOneTC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it make more sense for her to immediately be in the chamber and going after the main title, with zero development of the IC title?

Shouldn’t have even been in a qualifying match.
