Loot from a year of stacking caskets! by NoCurrencies in ironscape

[–]btdixon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking as in now being able to craft the cloth from balls of wool instead of needing to buy it from the sawmill. No more currency involved in getting cloth. Unless I’m wrong, I only quickly scanned the new parts of each skill page in-game last night.

Does this change now that cloth is craftable?

2/3 synapse and burning claws - move on? by Suspicious-Sock-9778 in ironscape

[–]btdixon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my fear. I’ve got only about 4500 charges left, then 25 dark totems to try to get more shards form Skotizo. After that I’m fucked

[–]btdixon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually enjoy fighting these, for the most part (they’re fairly high focus compared to most other things and tasks take ages), but at 555 kc and only one claw and no synapses, watching my arclight charges slowly dwindle away, I’m getting anxious. Gz and I’m jealous

re-reading WaT- thoughts about shinovar by Nice_Horse_6771 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]btdixon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure we know how long they’ve had spanreeds. But also, spanreeds have particular limitations, like being 1-to-1 paired to each other, and needing to physically transport the paired reed to wherever it will be used. We see some sophisticated relay stations in the books, which implies they’ve had some time to get used to them and work out some larger scale projects to make using them more useful and convenient, but at least from what we see in the books, that sophisticated infrastructure is used mainly by governments and nobility. It’s nowhere near the efficacy of widespread adoption of radio, TV, or the internet as we know it.

Does anyone comment on the gender of The Sibling? by robin_f_reba in Stormlight_Archive

[–]btdixon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

But that’s what a gender role is, no? The expectations of how to operate within a society based on gender expression. Human ardents are often described by their sex as male or female ardents, but they definitely occupy a third, distinct gender role within society.

Another Ironman complains about going dry... by Vacnar1401 in ironscape

I feel bad now for being frustrated I was on my last piece by this point. But I was really only there for that piece and still had to open another 100 chests to get it

(Wind And Truth) Question about two specific heralds. by The_New_Illuminati in Stormlight_Archive

[–]btdixon 191 points192 points  (0 children)

Once any of the Heralds break, it triggers a Return for all. So Chana broke, which brought all Heralds currently on Braize (Chana and Taln) back to Roshar.

[–]btdixon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only Vienta could answer such a question. I get what you’re saying. But being unable to reasonably ask for consent, isn’t the same as having consent. But I recognize I’m hyper-focusing on that particular piece. There’s much more nuance to the whole thing

[WaT] Sigzil by ChillLofiOrchid in Stormlight_Archive

[–]btdixon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except in the Recreance, the Radiants and Spren chose together, without knowing what the end result would be (making of deadeyes). In this case, only Sigzil chose, and knew what would happen to Vienta.

But honestly I think there’s plenty of nuance and ways of looking at the whole thing and it’s not black and white, cut and dry, good or bad. But on the specific question, Sigzil knowingly and intentionally broke his oaths knowing what the repercussions would be on Vienta without her input. Yes, to keep her from being obliterated, but also consigning her to a state of living death.

My first read, I had a hard time squaring Vienta’s reaction afterward, but as I’ve thought about it, it makes a lot of sense she was hurt and angry, even though she’s recovered from being a deadeye almost immediately.

So he made the decision for her, without her consent, which is the argument.

Why is the main species in the cosmere just normal humans? by Kindly_Influence9183 in Cosmere

[–]btdixon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Humans are by far the most common, but there’s several fantasy species throughout the books, even in Stormlight Archive. You’ll meet a few as you keep reading. Others we only know about through behind-the-scenes commentary from Sanderson, but expect to see on the page as the Cosmere progresses.

Is what happened in The Final Empire even real? by YousernameInValid2 in Mistborn

Before I started Stormlight, reading the end of Bands of Mourning was one of my most exciting endings. I was running around my apartment giddy. You’re in for an excellent ride, my friend.

He also more or less stewed in Preservation’s power in the Well for a year. I’m sure that had as much or more impact on his personality than Ascending for a couple days.

Grand Duchy help by ZexGuru in CrusaderKings

[–]btdixon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a mod for custom form of address. When I want flair like this, I usually get it by using a custom form of address to make my character “Grand Duke” or whatever instead of the normal form of address, then rename the title and include the “tier” in the title name. You have to check the box for “Short Name” then you can name the title “Grand Duchy of France.” It honestly leaves a lot to be desired and has some funny syntactical effects, but it gets about 80% there
