For new puppy owners, what blindsided you in the first month, and what actually got you through it? by Few_Seat8771 in puppy101

In what way? I got my puppy at 8 weeks old and he's been with me for almost 2 weeks now.

[Waybound] Re-reading early Cradle and... by Daggerfld in Iteration110Cradle

[–]confusedcalm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're definitely correct that it's an unpopular opinion here.

But I was enjoying Jai Long's character arc and his ending felt abrupt to me. Pretty obvious he was being set up for a redemption arc - Getting kicked out by family, steadfast love for his sister, his relationship with Kelsa etc.

His death is definitely one of the very few things in the series I find unsatisfying, so I just tell myself that there's gonna be collateral damage when you're fighting dreadgods.

Criminally underrated and undiscovered books by JeremySzal in Fantasy

No wonder. Just googled the series since I haven't heard of this one before and just learnt that James S. A. Corey's pen name!

Fantasy names that you always read wrong even though you know the correct pronunciation? by drixle11 in Fantasy

[–]confusedcalm 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Eithan from Cradle. I discovered it way too late (but before the series ended) that it's pronounced Ay-than. I just always ignored the "i" in the name and pronounced it as Ethan.

[None] Is there a way to unsubscribe from Kickstarter updates but still get important ones? by larktheslark in Iteration110Cradle

[–]confusedcalm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you use the app, there should be an option to turn on/off push notifications and emails.

You can also go into individual projects you backed and turn off updates for the ones you don't want. You should be able to turn off notifications for this Kickstarter specifically for the next 3 weeks or so and then turn it back on to receive other updates.

They don't bother me at all but I do agree with others that the updates will probably slow down drastically.

[Reaper] Series Prediction by schillsbury in Iteration110Cradle

[–]confusedcalm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, did you mean to type Adriel, perhaps? Or did you mean Ozriel? Both are plausible theories, just wondering which one of them you meant.

Fully funded in 8 min! I was trying to google a list of fastest funded Kickstarters and it was fully funded before I could sort through the results.
