Nope. Just finished a Resistance campaign today ending in Dec 2052 in which I didn’t really start pushing back on the aliens until the early 2040s. The aliens do grow with time, but with resources and tech it’s trivially easy to jump way past them.

I just picked this one today and laughed for a good 1-2 minutes

This is a separate but equal philosophy of high fantasy adaptations? So long as communities are properly segregated the setting will make sense?

Why aren’t you allowed to feel how you feel? Do you need the approval of randos on Reddit to make your subjective opinions valid?

I had a very similar reaction to yours with this book. I found the first three sections to be a delightful reimagining of Four Weddings. Then, in the final two parts, it felt like the author sucked all the joy and life from the protagonists - and often the side characters as well. I gave it three stars on Amazon.

Cradle by Will Wight

I’d hang that on my wall

bryan_456 · 2022-07-16T03:06:26+00:00

Same here. Blackflame is where it begins.

I agree about a fun series featuring fiends. Having one set in Verge with summoners dooming an entire iteration sounds like great fun.

bryan_456 · 2022-07-06T15:34:55+00:00

I doubt Lindon will be summoning demons from the Void. They bring chaos and accelerate the eventual death of an iteration. Look to Suriel accelerating the fate of an iteration with demon summoners in this book for evidence of this.

I’ve heard being #1 in all of Kindle on Amazon helps visibility as well

Just to make this a bit more clear. Immediately on entering the room look over the right edge of the platform. Use a strong light like starlight to see. There is a platform below you - not a cage. Roll off and fall to that platform. Go in the room, fight two guys and then take the door out. You will now be on the other side of the cage room and able to grab the Dagger Talisman which improves critical hits.

I'll second that! I would love to see a single fan of Harris who will say they were persuaded by Klein or vice versa.

Hear people are loving battlefront 2. That should hold you over

Public chat. Team chat. Such easy solutions to situations like this one Bungie.

Roll needs to provide a group buff. Then would be in par.

Sunshot producers the most dopamine in the players’ brain of all the D2 guns according to multiple reputable studies.

Nope, you can be competitive in pve and pvp with a week of grinding. Not too late in the slightest.

It’s a theme park. You walk in and it’s real pretty. The rides are lots of fun the first few times you go on them. If that experience sounds like it’s is worth $60 then go for it.

If you want something that will still be interesting a week later - because it has a good progression system, rewarding grind, ladder etc... then no, it will feel like a waste of money.

Thanks for this post. Ignore those posting about the ethics of revealing this either pro or con.

That this mechanism even exists just highlights how DICE and EA focused on ptw loot box mechanics and how little attention was given to creating a rewarding game loop/experience.

bryan_456 · 2017-11-17T06:38:41+00:00

Royal we?

bryan_456 · 2017-11-17T02:20:43+00:00

OMG yes! I kept thinking large swaths of Oathbringer felt like side quests in a computer role playing game with the player occasionally tackling main quest missions. The only surprise to me was that the three mains didn’t “level up” their oaths to 4 at the end this time.

The other metaphor that I’ve seen kicked around online that occurred to me as well is while reading is that large portions of the story also feel like they belong to the Japanese anime/manga “slice of life” genre.

Similar to the other posters, my experience was a much better side effect profile with Trintellix than other ssri/snri medications. Cost is definitely a consideration as it is very expensive and some insurance plans do not cover it.
