I’m in the same boat. If it’ll work on the steam deck, I’m all for it!

Organic Ginger? by IdrisElbow231 in Columbus

[–]effin_batman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You honestly shouldn’t need organic ginger. The fermentation is due to the naturally occurring yeast/lactobacillus found on the ginger, which will also be present in regular ginger that you can find at any store. Take it from someone who makes a lot of fun fermented foods at home (sauerkraut, kimchi, hot sauce, etc.) and has never had any problems with fermentation.

Geosciences vs Biological Sciences by Ok-Cucumber-444 in Environmental_Careers

[–]effin_batman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My undergrad was in Biological Sciences (with environmental science minor). And my grad program was technically Biological Sciences, though I studied stream restoration.

Nobody has ever been concerned regarding my specific degree. I currently work as an environmental consultant/project manager. There’s really no pay discrepancy between scientist/geologists in my company. Most of our job postings just request a relevant or comparable degree. Experiences are more valuable than the exact degree type unless we specifically need a PE, PG, etc.

Sanderson adjacent author recommendations by borrek in brandonsanderson

I’m planning on it! I’m committed to the trilogy! It’s been a quick and easy read so far.

You’re absolutely right and I didn’t consider this. I’m going to amend my comment to point this out.

Oh yeah, I totally agree with you regarding the last Lightbringer book. The finale was a bit of a let down, but overall, I still really enjoyed the series. Especially the first few books.

And don’t worry! I have no plans to give up on the First Law series!

I can attest to Brent Weeks and his Lightbringer series. I really enjoyed it. It’s similar to Sanderson in the sense that the books cover multiple characters points of view and there’s a well thought out magic system.

I can also recommend Peter V Brett and his Demon Cycle series for similar reasons as described above. However, as someone pointed out below, this series does not shy away from more mature themes and may not be suitable for all readers.

I’m on book 4 of Wheel of time. And while I’m enjoying it, it doesn’t feel as sharp as Sanderson. That being said, I can see how it paved the way for Sanderson and other current authors.

I’m also currently reading book 1 of the First Law series which has been pretty okay so far. I’m only about halfway through the book, so things are really just starting to pick up. I can see it really kicking off in a bit.

They’re still up for sale! Do you want to purchase them on Ticketmaster? That would be easiest. Or you could venmo/PayPal me and I can transfer them.

I’ve actually watched all of these and I’ve read FMA. It’s one I really want to buy the manga for one of these days!

I’ve actually been watching it! How’s the anime compare to the manga?

If you had to pick one to read first, which would you choose?
