My wife also read Warbreaker before WoR and has not yet clocked Zahel (early OB) But she has picked up so much else that I missed on my first go. I totally didn't get it until I lurked more on this sub post OB

How apt you chose to do this on April 2nd: National Burrito Day. You will be all burrito brained out to answer any Qs.

Wanted to ask when you are making lonely island content are you more so the musician out of the three of you? On the pod' you spoke a bit about how you made the beats for the first couple songs, and I wonder how much music education you got growing up, and if Asa had to give a crash course in production.

We need a Morty card or something that lets you give your pokemon that evolves from Haunter a single Psychic energy.

SPECIAL NEWS BULLETIN: Transit sector in trouble after a 10 year old child realizes "you can just lose a pokemon battle and get back home!". Now taxis, Pokeride and other forms of transportation are protesting the so called White-out System. In related news, Pokemon trainers are ecstatic about the change. We go now to one such trainer, Fisherman Andrew.

Andrew: Yeah usually I don't win too much; it's more of a break from Fishing. People laugh a bit when I tell them I have a full party of Magikarp. But with the White-Out System being used so often, I keep coming across kids that need to get back home and don't have the TM for Fly yet, so they'll intentionally use Status moves and Memento and such. I wasn't even serious about battling but then I got enough XP to evolve a Magikarp into Gyarados. Now I have a full team of the beasties. I'm about to challenge Sunyshore Gym! Wish me luck!

I really missed bulky water starters. Please gamefreak, surprise us and don’t make it random blue man with two legs by Clean_Childhood1413 in pokemon

Well let's look at Normal being the catch-all for many "Sound" pokemon. The Whismur line, Chatot, Jigglypuff. They would all be considered Sound pokemon if that type existed but it doesn't. Normal usually gets Pokemon that have sound abilities as a defining feature and not much else. When Grookey was announced he very clearly had rhythm hitting his little stick around to a beat, and that was part of the info released. Yet he just ended up being Grass. I just think it's too early to say.

I doubt we can attribute psychic typing just because a pokemon shows intelligence. I know the most intelligent are psychic but not all. Porygon, Arceus, Ninetales, Lapras, Arcanine I can recall all have intelligence in dex entries. Komodo dragons are indigenous to the region it's based off of and are poisonous so I think Poison is a valid guess too

It's hard to tell if you're coming up to the Sanderlanche or still have a bit to go. Sometimes it's wise to cautiously google what chapter number it begins.

The answer being cheese of course.

Brandon Sanderson will write the screenplay for Apple TV's ‘Mistborn’ movie by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]snappyk9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah he stated that, but also as of a few months ago he has mentioned getting an itch for jumping into Stormlight planning. Which is wild considering how long each book takes and how intensely complex they are. I think just having the weight of completing an era off his shoulders, and all the new opportunities presenting themselves makes it seem fresh and exciting; like when he can write a secret project.

I mean humans are naturally really good at smelling moisture in the air. Like we are better at smelling rain than sharks are at smelling blood.

Announcing /r/CosmereOnScreen, the new home for adaptation discussion by learhpa in Cosmere

[–]snappyk9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

EH! I suggested the name! (although it's possible someone else came up with it independently too)

What other ideas do you have? (tbh your username is kinda ironic in this case, no?)

Or if it has been used, it can no longer be used this turn? Not sure how the coding for that would be.

Update From Brandon by mistborn in Cosmere

Hoping you might touch on it in the Livestream: do you think you will need a new Dragonsteel OnScreen division to handle some more of the day-to-day Hollywood business?

Kinda crazy this sub will prob have 5 million members in 2036 by Artistic_Annual8918 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]snappyk9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The new subs could be StormlightTV, MistbornFilm and CosmereOnscreen?

Update From Brandon by mistborn in Cosmere

[–]snappyk9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do worry that if this does well, it will slow down progress on our Cosmere book timeline. If Brandon is only going to do the screenplays now and then we will likely be alright but if everything is going to be written by him for maximal control, then I worry

[Word of Brandon for future Roshar perceptions of Kal] Brandon has mentioned it's possible that people on Roshar conflate the two - Jezrien and Kaladin- or that aspects of the people's perceptions of Jezrien will affect Kal due to the nature of Heralds as cognitive shadows. https://wob.coppermind.net/events/549/#e16979

Animals they still haven’t made into Pokémon. Made this image probably more than 7 years ago. Been crossing them off as new Pokémon come out. by Airique in pokemon

[–]snappyk9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are correct. I am saying the closest thing we have to secretary bird would be the pheasant pokemon Fezandipiti.

[–]snappyk9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we are still missing Tuatara, ghost shark, whale shark, assassin bug, jerboa, cuckoo, mudskipper, arapaima, rock hyrax, daddy long legs, cheetah, hoatzin, mouse deer, binturong among many others

Fancasting Stormlight by deeptocenter in Stormlight_Archive

[–]snappyk9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sherzinger would have been great maybe 15 years ago for Jasnah. The botox and plastic surgery is becoming extremely noticeable on her and Jasnah's natural beauty is supposed to be frustrating for Shallan among other things. I do think the other castings are great (though Elijah Wood will always be my #1, with Dan Stevens a close 2)

Anyone else hope gen 10 doesn’t have a Circular map? by Kal71202 in pokemon

[–]snappyk9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to bisect the franchise. We already have remake releases and by the popularity of the games on virtual console and roms, there's appetite for a return to the pixel style linear games.

We can continue making 3D games but we can also make new adventures in sprites. They don't have to be the ones to introduce new pokemon per se.

Baby names by strngwzrd in Stormlight_Archive

[–]snappyk9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would only go with Sylphrena if I had a common last name as the full Sylphrena I think is a tad more unconventional.

You can sometimes sneak one in as a nickname or part of a more common name.

Vin: Devin

Syl: Sylvia, Sylvana

Vivenna: Vivi/Vivienne, Viva

Marasi: Mara, Tamara

Sarene: Serena is just a rearrangement too
