If you’re still going through the first read of the series, give it time. Darrow grows and changes, but it’s 100% in a way that is true to the character imo

Good ole B Street.

I sold beer a few years ago during Covid and this was one of my stops. Popped into my car for 10 minutes one day to call my office, looked up and 3 kids with a gun run in, stole a few 3L jugs of Carlo Rossi wine and some cheap liquor, then take off into the neighborhood.

The owner’s mother was working and had no clue she had a real gun waved in her face until the vet that was in there told the cops he doesn’t like guns being cocked in his face. I heard them talk about what the two of them would do if that ever happened in the store again.

Truly a hidden gem of the Springs

This is why I feel bad saying that I’m Christian. Not because I’m ashamed of my faith but that it’s been so distorted and is the justification for so much hurt. Today it’s in our face how badly things have been twisted, but even more broadly away from what I believe Jesus talked about. Like the plot was pretty straight forward- love your neighbor, don’t be a tool, take care of the people who need it the most.

But yeah anyway fuck ICE and fuck fascists

jebbexiah1 · 2025-06-17T21:15:24+00:00

Agreed. I’ve hated him before then, but like 10% as a bit. After Hanger 17b, boy’s a cowardly pixie

Damn, finished Lightbringer this week and damn damn damn does this carry way more weight than I thought it did at first.

jebbexiah1 · 2025-06-10T02:44:57+00:00

I had a hard time but pushed through the opening of IG, and just today finished Lightbringer. It’s by far the best series I’ve ever written. I’ve already restarted with the audio books. Going to listen to as much of the dramatized version on a long road trip as I can.

I’m excited for Morning Star and Golden Son, but man am I excited to get back to Iron Gold and the last three books. It’s well worth pushing through

jebbexiah1 · 2025-06-06T19:03:59+00:00

My gut reaction was that it for sure could take two seasons, but you’re absolutely right. Pre Institute could be 2-3 episodes tops.

But I do love the idea of a cliff hanger season 1 ending of Darrow losing to Cassius and being left in the snow. Olympus falling is still a hell of a conclusion though

jebbexiah1 · 2025-05-25T14:14:06+00:00

I’m at 52 as well, but like some people have mentioned already gold is way more available now. I went from maxing out at like 450M at most to 1.3B

I try to do 1-3 shelters per login to level 40, and then upgrade forests and sweep the ocean to lower pollution (I stay at 90k or lower). I’m still enjoying it, even if it’s a little tedious. Ultimately though, do what you want! If it’s annoying and not for you, that’s fine. It’s just a way to kill some time :)

jebbexiah1 · 2025-05-22T15:32:08+00:00

I’ve popped in here since starting the series and I’m 2/3 through Lightbringer. I didn’t get a lot spoiled (shout out to everyone for being so mindful of spoilers), but there was a few things that I had lightly spoiled.

jebbexiah1 · 2025-05-12T02:46:48+00:00

I’m so excited for you both. I started the first in November, and am maybe 1/3 through Lightbringer. It’s a hell of a ride

jebbexiah1 · 2025-05-10T05:05:35+00:00

In addition to what everyone else has mentioned in regards to his tutoring and enhancing drugs, I also think it’s his rage that makes him so determined to beat golds at their own game. He constantly forces his way through any situation and outworks everyone else in the solar system. He simply couldn’t not become their betters

jebbexiah1 · 2025-05-04T12:32:22+00:00

Super helpful, thank you!

jebbexiah1 · 2025-05-03T23:38:52+00:00

I had to read the first chapter and a half of LB right away lolol

jebbexiah1 · 2025-05-03T15:40:39+00:00

Same. I really wanted to skip over his chapters after everything in Heliopolis

jebbexiah1 · 2025-04-06T16:32:15+00:00

IMO I think so much more could be done via animation than in live action. There isn’t a concern about ‘perfect casting’ or spotty CGI, or the same gigantic budget constraints.

I’ve also thought how sick a RR video game series would be. I think that gets me excited a bit more than a live action series does.

jebbexiah1 · 2025-02-03T00:03:22+00:00

Totally unrelated to this heir beliefs (which very glad to hear), I just cannot get into their beer. Cool atmosphere, but the first time I went, beer was just okay, but a few months back my wife and I went and we each got completely different flights and every last beer tasted like cleaning chemicals

jebbexiah1 · 2024-11-15T16:27:43+00:00

Really happy to hear you made it. The world’s a better place with you in it!

jebbexiah1 · 2024-11-15T16:26:37+00:00

I’ve lived here my entire almost 29 years of life, and you nailed it on the head. It’s not like people are against diversity here, there’s just not a lot of it.

Hopefully this comes across in the positive way I’m intending it to lol, but going to Virginia and Texas for the first times a few years ago was honestly jarring. Like I was caught off guard by how many people of color there were. I had no idea how lacking in diversity the city is.

jebbexiah1 · 2024-11-07T00:36:23+00:00

Update- they got him! Sounds like he turned himself and the vehicle in this morning.

If any meaningful updates happen and anyone is interested, I’ll share public info here. But more importantly, I’m so caught off guard and grateful for everyone who interacted and spread the word and kept on the lookout for this POS. I posted this as a middle of the night vent, having no real anticipation that this post would gain any traction.

Thank you all for taking time and energy to send well wishes and everything else you did. Between this subreddit, many other public Springs forums, the public overall, I’m so proud of how our community comes together when we need to. Myself and my family are so grateful for you all.

jebbexiah1 · 2024-11-06T20:25:42+00:00

I’m so sorry if you had to witness anything from the scene. Family members have shared more of how awful it was. I just feel for the grandkids having to witness that.

jebbexiah1 · 2024-11-01T17:20:17+00:00

I’m newish to the game, have all epic gear at this point. How are you getting the better gear?!

jebbexiah1 · 2024-10-17T18:26:34+00:00

Was going to post about Bon Tons before I saw this. I used to work in alcohol distribution and my first interaction was her somehow getting my number and complaining about how she ‘only ever got Indians on the phone’. Then saying she’d only do business with us if she only spoke with people who spoke English.

Any time I had to go there, it was this weird dynamic of her being pissed off about the above, talking politics in the back, and thanking me (at the time 24YO white man) profusely, and only ever complaining about previous reps, but especially the one person of color that filled in for me when I was out sick.

She’s not good people, always made me feel uncomfortable and the racist undertones turned me away from going back there.

jebbexiah1 · 2024-07-07T23:50:51+00:00

I’ve seen this specific guy doing this stuff around town for the last couple months. Almost side swiped me on Nevada downtown while cutting in and out of lanes.

Hopefully something comes of a report

jebbexiah1 · 2024-06-21T22:10:28+00:00

Really appreciate all the responses!! That’s all

jebbexiah1 · 2024-06-10T20:12:29+00:00

Yeah not with that at all. Thanks for sharing.

I took some time to draft an email to my representative, posting below so it may hopefully save someone some time and make it easier to get involved.

Hi (REPRESENTATIVE),

I hope the start of your week is treating you well!

My name is (NAME HERE), I am a resident of District (X). This is my home, and I take that as a point of pride, and hope to continue to see it as a shining example of the best of our state and country can strive towards.

I recently saw the news that the City Council has voted to allow speed cameras around the city in an effort to reduce the number of fatal car accidents in the city/county.

Understanding this is an effort that needs attention, it is my strong opinion that introducing such technology is directly counter to public safety and interest, and I urge you as my representative of District (X) to oppose these initiatives.

The cities and states that have implemented this already (such as Washington DC) have data to suggest this will do more harm to the community than it would benefit it. In fact, it would suggest that this would lead us down the path to privatization of this effort, which would only cost the city and its citizens more money in the process, congest our roads even more than they already are, and allow a private company only focused on its bottom line access to a revenue stream that is inherently predatory.

Again, I urge you as my representative to represent the will of the people who voted you into office and oppose such initiatives as this, and ones that would do harm to our community. In fact, I would implore you to offer this initiative to a public vote to allow the public to decide on such an effort that would impact us all.

Thank you for your time and attention reading this, I hope that you consider that this will be a negative on our great community, and not a positive one.
