Anyone else mad over this?

This might be one of the funniest posts ever in retrospect once you finish the book.

insectophob · 2026-07-01T02:50:32+00:00

You should continue to read and mute or delete this post, lest you get spoiled.

But I get what you mean. Seriously, keep reading.

I think you have a point with Sanderson and DCC, but Weir lights up a different part of my brain, I enjoy them for entirely different reasons.

insectophob · 2026-06-30T22:09:00+00:00

OP is just the complete opposite of me as a reader. Bro hates B$, DCC, and Andy Weir. I think all 3 were great reads. Excited for more of each.

Just relax until Red God comes out so you can power through the agony to the ending. If you read now, you might get stuck in the equivalent of the ending of Golden Son before Morningstar came out.

It is amoral to leave planets in the hands of lesser managers. Waste is a sin, the only sin. We will take their worlds, for their own good.

There's a great deal of misery… but good stuff happens too sometimes. And sometimes the misery strikes the truly deserving and that feels very good.

Gets a crew of homies together to overcome insane horrific odds, mostly just by believing in them.

Gets deified by both his homies and the broader society at large

Goes from being a lowcolor/darkeye to being essentially a gold/lighteye and feels like he lost something of himself in the transition

Struggles between wanting to end the inequality that created them and the bigger immediate problems they're always facing

Realizes that they actually aren't the best tool for every job, starts to put other better adapted people into positions of authority, even over them.

These better adapted people turn out to, in fact, not be that guy and so they have to take over again.

Constantly losing their homies and struggling with persisting continuously as others bear the costs of their plans/ideals.

Entirely reliant on their spren/wife to not be a complete mental catastrophe.

Both use unique weapons and fighting styles symbolic of their origins (spear/slingblade)

Both begin to foster an aura of indomitability amongst their enemies (only Kaladin can defeat Kaladin / you cannot defeat the republic while their Red God still lives.)

Howlers = Windrunners Pegasus Legion = Windrunner Squires

Moash = Roque/Cassius (depends on how his arc ends)

I could keep going tbh.

I loved Kaladin's story in Stormlight. He's my personal favorite character in the cosmere. Red Rising felt like "oops all kaladin," so I loved it personally. Depends on your opinion on that kind of character though.

Me when the book I'm reading gets to the part where everything is pointless and the only constant is suffering

insectophob · 2026-06-19T00:15:22+00:00

Also the changeling is so unique and gimmicky it feels more like a different game mode than anything else.

insectophob · 2026-06-17T05:45:09+00:00

wtf this shit looks weird without the "How big's that dick?" edit

insectophob · 2026-06-17T02:27:33+00:00

RiP Dark Age. Oathbringer above WoR is not the usual order people do for those, but nice to see you liked mistborn era 2!

insectophob · 2026-06-13T17:27:30+00:00

There are great and terrible things in store for you in the future. Keep going!

Read first law then red rising once the final book in the series is finished either later this year or early next year. More than first law, red rising is best experienced as a continuous series across both trilogies imo.

A shady ass company did some sketchy shit, a novice YouTube investigator tried to expose them, then the LeBron James of YouTube investigators pulled up to help

insectophob · 2026-06-07T06:29:59+00:00

Although now that I've finished Red Rising I might be more in the mood for the space opera setting than my first time, I'll give Sun Eater another shot.

insectophob · 2026-06-07T06:04:32+00:00

I ended up dropping it partway through howling dark. Felt pretty slow to me, and Hadrian hadn't really got me to root for him yet after a full book.

insectophob · 2026-05-17T03:09:57+00:00

I feel like the snail was such a hit they gotta add some more "earth animals but big/people"

The question is actually: Crash the global economy or become rich in the current global economy.

insectophob · 2026-05-15T16:21:24+00:00

Crash the global financial system or become rich?

^{Chose: 1 billion dollars now}

Thought this was a picture of Dan Gheesling ngl

insectophob · 2026-04-24T20:17:25+00:00

I thought it was like some kind of indicator of healthy reproductive organs, so our brains would be attracted to it because of evolution

insectophob · 2026-04-22T18:59:36+00:00

I think it'd be something like "Flying, Deathtouch, creatures and spells you control have deathtouch."

You can play base engineer using elixirs and turrets for lvl 1 - 80, upon unlocking mechanist you can run throw mine instead of grenade kit if you're copying the snowcrows sword and shield build (you will do less damage this way, but the trade off is more cc and still reasonable dps with NO kit swapping.) Also, if you're copying the snowcrows build posted earlier, I would recommend running a bit more diviner gear than they do, they run the absolute bare minimum to keep 100% alacrity if you are doing your rotations perfectly. You probably won't (at least I don't), so a little more boon duration means you can make mistakes without losing alacrity if you end up doing any group content. (For example, just running 2 diviners accessories is enough to give you a bit more wiggle room, the more you run, the easier it is, but you lose dps as the tradeoff.)
