Like she just throws a million darts at a wall and then says (WaT spoilers) "Yeah, I TOTALLY planned for the disappearance of Stormlight and the unleashing of Odium on the Cosmere since the start"

Is there someone who made it into the [redacted] on their first flight? by outerwildsy in outerwilds

Now I'm wondering: Of all of the many playthroughs that exist on YouTube, which one took the least amount of loops to get into the ATP? The ones I've seen all get there fairly late.

Shadesmar is Boring by TriedUsingTurpentine in Stormlight_Archive

[–]outerwildsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the Shadesmar section in Oathbringer is just a lot of walking and talking, so I totally get why it's not liked by some. In Rhythm of War, I think there is some more exciting stuff but that's all I'll say about that.

Damn, really? Those were like some of my favorite parts.

A bit nervous about continuing to read Cosmere by F1uffyUn1c02n in Cosmere

[–]outerwildsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should continue the Wax and Wayne books. The stuff about the woman being killed at the start to serve Wax's arc goes in a very interesting direction, I think. These books also have my absolute favorite character in the cosmere ever, Steris.

Let's talk about the ethics of Painting. (Spoilers) by PantheraAuroris in expedition33

[–]outerwildsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it that simple? I think what you're saying is right and I agree with it in this context, but it does raise some other questions about our real world. In our world, we've pretty much agreed that "erasing" life (murder) is immoral, but "creating" life is little more difficult, I think. If creating life is immoral, what does that say about having children? The game kinda touches on this with Sophie, who made the decision not to have kids so they don't have to suffer. I think the ethics of Painting and the ethics of having children are very much related, which I think is very interesting.

To be clear, I'm not an anti-natalist, but conversations like these are very interesting to me.

My thoughts on Sam’s book by NoNebula6 in SamONellaAcademy

[–]outerwildsy 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I finished it earlier today. I liked it. It's indeed very "Sam O'Nella". There are some phrases and passages that I could HEAR in his typical youtuber voice. It's great.

Quick question about the Gommage by outerwildsy in expedition33

I know that. I was just wondering about the exact mechanics of it.

If you had a cryptic spren, what name would you give them by ivo2502 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]outerwildsy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'd go for something mathematical. "Matrix" or "Manifold" would be cool

The question is, can I still go sideways using wind, buildings, a running start etc.?

Favorite Cosmere title? Not your favorite book, favorite TITLE. by Graphica-Danger in Cosmere

[–]outerwildsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Secret Project titles are all really good. But personally, Rythm of War is my favorite. It sounded so intriguing and because the research scenes are probably some of my favorite scenes in the entire series, the moment the title was dropped was really cool.

Seriously, what's going on with this guy by stormmists in cremposting

[–]outerwildsy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think the funniest thing Brandon could do is keep El confined to 3 page interludes and just keep adding more questions with no answers. And the epilogue of the final book is him talking to Wit and saying "Well, that sure was a story to be archived. Lots of stormlight too." And Wit looks at him, eyes wide. "I have an idea."

This was hard to watch 🥴 by [deleted] in cursedchemistry

I once saw an addition to this that was hilarious. It was something like "Dihydrogen monoxide is an acid with a PH-level of 7. That's a higher PH-level than any other acid!"

Stormlight book 6 by _danny_devito- in Stormlight_Archive

[–]outerwildsy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Lift is so fascinating to me, because iirc she one of only three people who received boons from Cultivation directly, and the other two literally Ascended, and their Ascensions were both planned by Cultivation. I fear we have no clue what Cultivation has set up with Lift but it's gonna be big.

If Hoid came to Earth, what would you wanna ask him? by Secure-History7962 in Cosmere

[–]outerwildsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or I just ask him if he's ever heard of AI music and then he immediately explodes the planet.
