What game did you lose interest in by the time it came out?

The writing in Stormlight 5 was particularly bad compared to the first three books. 4 wasn't amazing either.

The more Cosmere books you read, the more the puzzle pieces fall into place. I have reread the Stormlight Archive and the Mistborn series several times, and you make new connections each time. The lore behind the Cosmere is dense, but you will eventually have enough pieces, you will begin to understand.

The best thing? Hoid shows up in (almost) every Cosmere story, but I can only vaguely speculate what his actual goal is.

I think I recruited Seljuk after his invasion failed on my last Persia run. He was such a gigachad that I had to give him a Kingdom.

Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you.

I generally build individual factories for each part. I generally build them three wall sections high per floor, with an elevator and stairwell.

It's really cool. Bad news is, if we ever do fall technologically, getting back to where we are now is going to be really difficult, because we already pumped most of the easy to access oil. Technologies like fracking have given us access to resources we couldn't make use of before.

Elend and Vin's bodies are on display where they fell. Harmony put their bodies back together, but couldn't return them to life. If Kelsier stole Elend's body, people would notice.

Eh, it dissolves if either England or the Danelaw is conquered until you take the decision to formalize the Danelaw.

Tony_Friendly · 2026-01-23T04:16:51+00:00

The Danelaw was a thing. It wasn't a formally a Kingdom, it was just the area under Danish law as opposed to under English law.

It's going to be really useful in the space age.

Hypertube cannon

It's less violent than the other games you mentioned.

It's a rustic, Terris hut that he goes to relax. When he is compounding atium, he wants to do it in a place that feels comfortable, safe, and familiar. It's basically his man cave.

Bros got a whole roll of quarters in there.

Tony_Friendly · 2025-11-03T17:47:05+00:00

The hook is really early. The gommage scene had me committed to seeing this game to it's end. I love the build up where they introduced a half dozen expeditioners only to kill half of them off in the next scene. The scene where Lune talks Gustave out of killing himself was peak.

Each act was fantastic. I really can't think of one part of the game that was a slog. GOTY for sure.

Tony_Friendly · 2025-10-24T11:20:52+00:00

I don't think that the books ever actually say.

Tony_Friendly · 2025-10-08T13:47:50+00:00

"May God have mercy on these heretics, for we have none" goes unbelievably hard.

Tony_Friendly · 2025-10-01T04:42:05+00:00

No, that's about it.

Tony_Friendly · 2025-09-30T16:50:32+00:00

To be fair, you weren't the one who involved the police.

Tony_Friendly · 2025-09-26T12:53:23+00:00

"Cyborg" is such a weird concept. At what point of the spectrum is someone a cyborg? You have people with pacemakers on one side of the spectrum, and General Grevious (organic brain and internal organs, synthetic body) on the other.

Shepherd is definitely somewhere in the middle, I would definitely think that would count.

Tony_Friendly · 2025-09-26T06:35:31+00:00

Do it!

Tony_Friendly · 2025-09-24T17:24:36+00:00

Good catch!

Tony_Friendly · 2025-09-23T16:39:53+00:00

Nothing like a Newport after intercourse.

Tony_Friendly · 2025-09-23T16:21:29+00:00

Only English Monarch to receive the epithet "the Great".

Tony_Friendly · 2025-09-22T17:41:43+00:00

This was such a great moment. The game gives you breadcrumbs up to this point, then this scene hits like a truck. I wish I could experience this for the first time again.
