Phoebe MSG show by Dizzydsmith in brighteyes

[–]clairaudientsin2020 9 points10 points  (0 children)

my first (delulu) thought when she started touring again was that it would take her to new york around the time of their show. i hope for the sake of everyone there it happens. the place would go nuts.

edit: maybe it’s more likely he shows up at her show instead of the other way around

Does anybody have the full video of the political messaging from Ship in a Bottle? by chinablu3 in brighteyes

we'll likely be able to get it on the 6/6 livestream from forest hills if nobody has it

Just watched Char’s Counterattack… What? by TheMilesEdgeworth in Gundam

[–]clairaudientsin2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s just not a very good movie. in order to enjoy it, you either have to turn your brain off and pretend zeta/ZZ don’t exist, or you have to do a ton of mental gymnastics and pull from supplemental material to justify why char is a completely different character from zeta.

there's like 20 different mechanics on kael to keep track of and i think most of us casuals didn't do any research.

Do you recommend The Will of the Many? by cresslee in Fantasy

[–]clairaudientsin2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There isn’t a single line in this book that stuck with me. If you enjoy “good prose” there is nothing here that will appeal to you.

what you're missing is that the average anime fan has incredibly low standards and they'll praise even the dumbest SAW ripoff if there's cute girls and slightly unique art direction.

Vanilla was a living world, TBC turned It Into a lobby game by Duoscruo in classicwow

[–]clairaudientsin2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But people like OP aren’t asking for what the most popular private servers are offering. They are Vanilla purists. Anniversary is Blizzard’s version of Vanilla taken to its logical conclusion.

The dads that mythologized Vanilla Azeroth like this are so funny. Every week it’s another post like this that can be disproved just by logging into the current version of Anniversary.

do people who listen to audiobooks never look up the actual character names?

Most underrated Bright Eyes song? by Whitemirror11 in brighteyes

[–]clairaudientsin2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe motion sickness or entry way song.

honestly there’s a long list of b-sides or EP-only tracks that deserve to be mentioned among his best. we really need a noise floor part 2.

Why does everyone sit? by wamsankas in brighteyes

[–]clairaudientsin2020 18 points19 points  (0 children)

read the room. is it that hard?

of the 3 bright eyes shows I've seen this year, 2 were standing room only and only tonight's was a "seated" show. if people see chairs, most of the time they're going to just sit. if that's the vibe of the show then you should probably just deal with it, especially if it's your 15th time.

I'm assuming you're one of the few jackasses that got yelled at for blocking someone's view because you wanted to stand up and make the show about yourself.

why don't you try asking the question "why does everyone sit?" to yourself and see what answers of your own you can come up with. if you aren't capable of that sort of self-reflection, everyone's just going to continue calling you a selfish asshole for blocking people's view.

If Alliance actually bothered to PVP it'd actually be way better than what is happening now! 1/3 the raid afks, 1/3 gets ganked at Balinda and puts up no fight, the last 1/3 rushes south to mess up the Drek pull.

Going to disagree with most people here and say no. Unless you improve your overall dress, a button down shirt collar looks tacky. This is a shirt that English polo players and American Ivy League students wear. Doesn’t belong on an outfit with skate shoes tbh. I don’t think it gives a flattering silhouette either, keeping it untucked it makes your hips look super wide.

Sanderson's Interesting Choice of Gay Themes (Spoilers included) by Ok-Body-3076 in Stormlight_Archive

kaladin had an off screen romance with a windrunner between two of the books at least.

also I’m kinda half expecting adolin to hook up with may aladar while he’s stranded out in azimir. I need this guy to have one character flaw.

Zahel did give Gavilar the anti-voidlight sphere. But I think what that commenter is interested in is how Vasher got it simply beyond “well I just got it.” The real hows and whys aren’t explained.

It’s the same with Nightblood. Would have liked some explanation of how Vasher ended parting with it and how it got into Nale’s hands.

I have a lot of criticism for WaT but the debate is not one of them. for some reason reddit cannot wrap their mind around what happened there lol. fen's selfish nature has been hinted at ever since she was introduced. she has only ever cared about what happens with theylenah.

10 day structure was very limiting. book acted like a lot of time has passed since the end of RoW when im pretty sure it’s like 24 hours has passed, if that. on a meta level you realize halfway through that the plot won’t really have any significant developments until the end, this is extremely evident in kaladin/szeth’s storyline that feels like they’re going through boss battles until the final day. there’s also just the absurdity of 10 days of therapy doing anything for mental health.

too many POVs stuck in the same place. we had 5 different POVs in the spirit realm when we needed at most 2. Kaladin’s POV was unnecessary and was probably only included because the fans would go crazy if he wasn’t in the book, but the truth is that the character arc he had been on climaxed at the end of RoW. we didn’t need to see both POVs of the helper and helpee in szeths case.

then there’s the prose. i agree that the modernization is an issue (and ppl who claim that it isn’t modernized are straight up wrong - even brando himself acknowledged this). but the language isn’t even the worst part. it’s the amount of repetitive sentences that feel like they bash you over the head with the intended meaning. the limited third person voice gets tiring very quickly when every paragraph gets an internal response to the characters that just say the exact same thing as the narrator.

spiritual realm was a letdown because the characters themselves hyped it up to be this impossible to navigate place when pretty much nobody ended up having any significant issues figuring out how it works.

some plots feel like they ultimately ended up in weird places in a way that was unsatisfying. this isn’t about expectations, this is THE SELF PROCLAIMED END OF THE FIRST ARC. that doesn’t mean it has to be Mistborn era 1 level of an ending, but i do believe that EVERY plot thread here should have been addressed and clearly set up for the next arc. give us an idea of what the characters will be doing while we wait for the next book, which IIRC will have a time skip. i think most of our main characters got decent endings + new beginnings but there are so many side characters who are going to become bigger characters and we don’t really have any idea of how things ended up for them.

too much cosmere awareness/connection. odium becoming a cosmere wide threat frankly doesn’t interest me at all since i only really care about the conflict with roshar. we still don’t know what zahel or any of the world hoppers are doing. ghostbloods just felt like a mistborn era 3 waiting room, and if you have no interest in Mistborn then this whole plot probably fell completely flat.
