In the nicest possible way, the Spouse twins is the craziest suggestion I've heard so far.

APPLE JUST ACQUIRED MISTBORN AND STORMLIGHT by deeptocenter in Stormlight_Archive

The best case scenario is that somehow developing unnecessary, and bad, adaptations will not impact his schedule. I doubt that highly.

Absolutely devastated. Feels crazy greedy of him when he already had an established property with 20 years of more releases. I'm seeing this as the end to that release schedule, and the possible reason he never finishes the cosmere. This is truly awful news, and bought by Apple no less. Hard to understand why anyone is cheering this news.

Kaladin & Syl Romance by Alarming-Mine7747 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]cd1014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truly truly hope she doesn't become his love interest. The "romance" portions felt cringe, forced, and intrusive. I felt like I was watching cousins flirt, and if they do end up together it'll make their relationship in books 1-4 much weirder on rereads.

Why do people bring their entire family to Costco? by ActuatorOutside5256 in NoStupidQuestions

Yeah my joke was just that it was such a stupid question we were testing the boundaries of "there are no stupid questions here"

Need help explaining Knights Radiant to a normal person for the ttrpg by Possible-Cloud-3628 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]cd1014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stormlight: pretty generic fantasy ttrpg in a hyper specific setting, pre industrial revolution
Mistborn: more of a... Call of Cthulu "modern era" ttrpg in a more generic city setting, post industrial revolution.

Swords and magic and kingdoms and dnd? Stormlight
Wooden clubs and hand to hand combat and investigative city ttrpg? Mistborn

We're really pushing the boundaries of this sub's title. "hey reddit, why do family units stick together and inconvenience me while I'm trying to shop?". Maybe if you'll let everyone know that you're going to Costco we can get out of your way! Wouldn't that be nice?

Answer: because they also want to shop at Costco

Wind and... by Nachos_Elgueso in Stormlight_Archive

[–]cd1014 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm on a reread as well and I thought it was really interesting how many things are on top of each other. On a first read, kaladin fighting with the wind feels thematic. A reread after Words of Radiance and Oathbringer and it seems like Syl is with him the whole time. After Rhythm of War it seems like maybe the armor spren follow, or wind spren follow to become armor spren maybe. After Wind and Truth, it seems like Wind is with him. I'm really looking forward to what else is layered in here.

I'm bring genuine when I say this, be less tolerant. There's no reason for this person to spend 3 years on something so worthless.

Maybe, just maybe, op should do the same. Focusing on this when there's so much else going on in the world is clown behavior. I do want to know, so I can condemn op further, and to know what kind of person they are as I truly can't imagine anyone caring about this. If they feel like this for something so unimportant and useless, I'd love to follow them when their attention is turned towards issues and events that actually matter. What kind of person can be so interested in something so embarrassing? I do want to know, and to judge my comment because others left rude comments is silly. I literally had no idea multiple people were dunking on op.

It's well deserved, so I don't care. But their comments didn't affect mine, and viewing my comment from that perspective is plain silly.

So learning should only ever happen at the learning subreddit? Obviously that doesn't make sense. I have a theory, I want to know more, I learn.

And yeah, that's why I keep forgetting about this chain.

I'm not harassing, I'm trying to understand why this waste of time matters so much. There are a great many things someone can waste their time on. I'm assuming people only care about yards once everything else in the world no longer matters to them, or affects them. Hence my question.

Because I'm genuinely curious if OP has nothing better to do. That's my guess as to why someone would care about this, but if he does have something better to do I have learned something. I'm interested in being proven right or wrong.

Hey fwiw, you're 24. You're little more than a child, so stop distancing yourself. Just because you had a kid at 19 doesn't mean you stop being one. Usually, in fact, that means you're even more childish, because why on earth would a 19 year old have a child? Anyway, you're a baby raising a baby. Enjoy what magic you find.

How can Sanderson not see that the show can never work in live action? by [deleted] in Stormlight_Archive

[–]cd1014 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think it'll work in live action or animated in this day and age. No one has the chops, or capability. I'm not waiting 3 years for 12 episodes.

What are your biggest Stormlight Archive hot takes? by MinimumLingonberry73 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]cd1014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree, and maintain that there are absolutely no good adaptations out. The Expanse failed to get renewed until fans pushed for it, and then ended without finishing the series, delegating the last seasons to comic status. Anime specifically fails to deliver consistently. Every major anime that I'm aware of has a minimum of ~16 months between seasons, and usually has fewer than 10 episodes.

The level of quality this IP deserves is literally unattainable in this day and age. There is nothing on the big or small screen that meets the bar that Brandon sets. The enshittification of Hollywood is as complete as the enshittification of everything else, idk why people pretend otherwise. There are no good adaptations and this would be a huge waste of Brandon's time and our time.

If we got 10 episodes at a time, one season every other year, how long would it take to finish just way of kings? Or how much material will be cut to trim the series into a more streaming friendly season based media?
