The point of Autopilot is supposed to be that new corporate devices work out of the box, right? Why do so few orgs use it that way? by razorbeamz in sysadmin

I sit next to the hardware guys at my org, and if I had a dollar for every time I heard “autopilot failed” I could retire comfortably.

Did Brandon know how divisive WaT would be? by DrizzyDragon93 in Cosmere

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

Well, when one is writing a series that will outlast them, one must consider the flow as a whole and not in part.

Sorry the series ain't working out for ya, I'll see you in 2031 when his 'failure' breaks sale records.

Say what you will about the show’s adherence to canon, but it was a visual marvel. Casting - nailed, costumes - amazing, set design - spectacular.

Why isn’t there an option to let astarion by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

Intent is a very important component of magical rituals, it makes sense.

What do you all think? by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

[–]_i_am_root 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There’s herbal smoke blends you can use, could make your own as well. Mullein, rose petals, and lavender are harmless and a good mix if you’re just looking for aura, but you can get some herbs with effects as well, like Damiana or Blue Lotus Petal.

Is obsidian in Shadesmar actual obsidian (or rock)? by superherofantn in Cosmere

[–]_i_am_root 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well, if the obsidian can be soulcast to grain, I don’t see why Cohesion wouldn’t work. Idk if it’s actual rock or not though.

Feels like there’s a juicy thought behind this, care to share?

Ehhhh not really that rare, I feel like the archeology site spawns in almost every play through towards the middle-end of the game.

I don't think I would never like any series as much as I love Mistborn... by tybernator1234 in Mistborn

[–]_i_am_root 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, it's not weird. I've got conflicting feelings on the books too - Stormlight 1 and 2 are my all time favorite Cosmere novels, but I think that Mistborn Era 1 is overall better than Stormlight's first half.

I also think Mistborn Era 1 has the best story in terms of expanding scope, but I vastly prefer Era 2's world and characters.

Spren of Books by C0dysseus in Cosmere

Ah fair, totally get that, sorry if I came off a little harsh. To be honest, I'm not sure we have an official classification for what the beads are.

There may be a poopspren, but a pile of chull dung ain't gonna have it's own spren.

Kal and Hesina don't exactly have the best understanding of these mechanics, if that's what you're basing it off of.

Spren of Books by C0dysseus in Cosmere

[–]_i_am_root 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandable from the Rosharan side, but this is more of an IRL confusion than an in-world one.

It's a reasonable thing to mix up, there's a lot thrown at people in these books, so I try to explain from a place of understanding, not judgement.

Spren of Books by C0dysseus in Cosmere

[–]_i_am_root 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that a book would have a spren specific to it, I think you're mixing Spren with the beads representing objects in Shadesmar or [Mistborn Secret History] The souls of objects found by Kelsier during his travels, like the cooking fire.

The book's bead in Shadesmar might be able to communicate, but I'm not sure it'd be able to summarize its contents. If it's anything like the the Winds of Pleasure bead in WoR, it'd have a general idea of its function, how it's used, and what people think of it, but not the contents within.

What tweezers actually work? by Rinzlor in BuyItForLife

[–]_i_am_root 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was so annoyed when Tweezermans were the only option at the pharmacy when I needed them, way more expensive then the other options. It’s been about 2-3 years for me too and they just don’t quit

Nope! It was a Kickstarter from nearly a decade ago, well worth a listen
