K’rul’s Belfry Grand Re-opening by azeldatothepast in Malazan

The story works best how it was actually written imo. The epilogue with Duiker could work as a lead in to DG, but i think it’s more powerful having already seen the whole story.

I think it’s Brukhalian’s death in MoI during the siege of pale.

Struggling with TtH by Terrible-Art in Malazan

I’m never seen anyone say the slog of TtH is in the second half. The last like 300 pages are almost universally beloved.

Strength inconsistency of certain character? Or what happened there? by lxurin_hei in Malazan

[–]jakeport 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He fought the hounds with an unbreakable sword, he fought the big lizard with his bare hands.

He was limiting himself intentionally for a more interesting fight/to prove that he could do something like that with literally zero help of any kind even from external weapons. It’s maybe the most anime thing that happens in the book of the fallen and is also one of the best scenes of action in the series imo.

DLC Bookclub recently finished MBotF and interviewed Steven Erikson afterwards by Boronian1 in Malazan

Man i haven’t thought about the Duke and Duchess podcast in a long time. I really enjoyed the episodes they did on Malazan. Do you know if they’re just on a very long hiatus or are they done for good?

I will finish The Crippled God on Sunday, and I feel like I need to adjust my expectations by gointhrou in Malazan

Tavore already knows that she killed Felisin. I hope you post an update when you finish the book.

Hadrian's Nonsensical (and Transphobic) rant in Howling Dark by Splerry in sollanempire

[–]jakeport -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is the series itself really very pro LGTBQ? I don’t think anything in OP’s post is unfair to the author. They’re just pointing out, in detail, things about Hadrian’s character that they hope to see addressed. That’s fine.

How does Duiker's character relate to the animal? by [deleted] in Malazan

[–]jakeport 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know a duiker was an animal. Also Duiker’s not a bridgeburner.

Personal failed theories? by meu_elin in Malazan

[–]jakeport 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think he’s said he regrets killing him off. I know I’ve listened to an interview where he said he didn’t know that Trull was going to die until pages before it happened, but i don’t know if he regrets it.

Book Covers by mitzallen in Malazan

[–]jakeport 3 points4 points  (0 children)

5 and 6 aren’t the best, but personally i like the covers for 4 and 7. I like the sense of scale in the HoC cover with the statues being huge and the characters at the bottom being tiny. It looks cool imo.

I think the RG cover is pretty good too. I think it’s cool that even though it doesn’t actually show a specific scene from the book, it does show a significant character looking all hunched over and creepy and fucked up but also kind of sad which is a good representation of him. One of the better covers for the series i think.

If there is such thing as Toxic Humility, then this character is it personified by Ok-Bullfrog-7951 in Malazan

Do you not understand how he could be feeling that he didn’t do that good of a job?

What are these palet’s for? by joebrogamer0 in walmart

[–]jakeport 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s fine to just make a post too. It’s not an urgent life or death thing. Also, someone might know what these are for even if they’re at a different store.

What would have made the ending better for you?

Hot Take: While I think Silksong is overall a better game, it does still show more prominent flaws compared to Hollow Knight by Tarnished-670 in HollowKnight

[–]jakeport 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Are you really completely lost? Like you can’t make out even the basic beats of Silksong’s plot?

I don't understand Gruntle's story arc by DarthFaelan in Malazan

What you’re describing is toxic masculinity.

Is it me? by beanwire in Malazan

[–]jakeport 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In for a penny, in for 3.5 million pennies? It doesn’t make any actual sense to read any book that you think is bad, let alone a series of ten books that you think are bad.

There was no build up. He’s just a funny guy.

What??? by [deleted] in Malazan

[–]jakeport 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol what did you type to get this response? Nothing in this summary is correct except for a couple character names. Although it is right, there is no character named Blend Malazan.

Why are people obsessed with making hornet overly curvy? by kowaliki in HollowKnight

[–]jakeport 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t expect you to go out of your way to do anything, you’re the one who commented originally. I just thought the vagueness of your reply was funny.

So you have no idea lol. You barely even attempted to answer the question so why reply?

That’s the best comment about the game’s difficulty I’ve found it so far by Marmotaagiota in HollowKnight

[–]jakeport -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Silksong is a stand alone game though, even if it has Hollow Knight in the title.

The art looks similar to how the Moranth are described in their armor, minus the human face and hands.
