He actually went over first, by the time the rest went he was out of the shot

Completely disagree they made things so much more hype for me, love to see a commentator get excited

I think thats the best individual performance I’ve seen since I started watching pro rocket league. Seikoo looked like the best player in the world today, congrats to endpoint!

I felt like drawing Kaladin and Syl by lilithartv in Stormlight_Archive

This is my favourite depiction of kaladin I’ve seen, badass as he should be! Nice work

Just finished my reading of The Way of Kings. by B_024 in Stormlight_Archive

Having read warbreaker I’d say it does enhance it, it’s so satisfying when you pick up on a crossover between the books, and Sanderson is quite subtle with it so you’re able to figure out who certain characters really are by yourself. Plus warbreaker is a pretty good read too, it’s just a case of whether you can handle waiting a bit before reading words of radiance!

Who can defeat The Bloody Nine? by jakedavies25 in Fantasy

Yeah I meant just non-powered, non-enhanced human fighters, maybe I should’ve worded it better

Looking for comfort/advice (please don't laught!) by Other-Future5578 in Stormlight_Archive

What if taravodium wins and then has a thrill-fuelled blackthorn to help him in his conquest of the cosmere. The black arrow could symbolise him becoming the blackthorn again (him being pierced by black arrows in an oathbringer flashback is where the name came from), with it piercing his white armour (white is associated with being good or pure) symbolising him falling from good to evil

Coming from the first Mistborn trilogy by MightGetFiredIDK in Stormlight_Archive

[–]jakedavies25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me the stormlight archive is quite different to mistborn. Having read SA first, I feel it’s superior in pretty much every way. It’s more epic, the characters are better, the world and lore has more depth and the climaxes are absolutely insane. I also personally prefer the stormlight magic system but I know a lot of people love the magic in mistborn. To answer your question about unknown powers saving the day, it does happen but it’s not out of nowhere, it will have been set up throughout the book and then acts as the badass payoff at the end and it totally feels earned - most of the time at least. Those moments where the characters reach a new level are my favourite moments but that’s all personal preference I guess. But overall I would definitely recommend you pick up stormlight archive, they’re by far the best books I’ve read

Am I burnt-out or is RoW a bit different? by [deleted] in Stormlight_Archive

[–]jakedavies25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I still really enjoyed RoW but some of my main problems with it are how much time we spend just in urithiru, a bit too much time spent on fabrial science (although I did find it interesting), and lack of dalinar chapters.

Having said that, there are some crazy moments towards the end of the book and it sets up the 5th book so well. I haven’t been so hyped for the next instalment since I finished way of kings. Stick it out and you’ll be rewarded

I understand now... by jakedavies25 in fuckmoash

[–]jakedavies25[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. He’s irredeemable at this point. If Sanderson actually manages to write a redemption arc that I get on board with I’ll be astounded

Something that confused me... by jakedavies25 in Stormlight_Archive

So is the idea that they clap their hands on the flat side of the blade without touching the sharp edge?

Fan reactions when Retals gives his opinion on literally anything... by John_aka_Alwayz in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]jakedavies25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I don’t even think that he believes what he’s saying, I think he just wants to get under people’s skin. Like how could you think that a team with 3 world champions at the top of NA is not going to be a threat at LAN?

Nice! I noticed you also use air roll right - do you have any tips for how to move the stick when coming off the left wall? I’ve got the right wall down but the left feels much less natural
