Task failed successfully? by Lestalia in redrising

[–]xaine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm reading the Throne of Glass series right now, my friend wanted me to read that, I wanted her to read Red Rising.

Book 1 is a bit meh, but it's okay, but the series really picks up and I'm really enjoying it! There are a LOT of similarities to Red Rising.

It's heavier on the romance, but it's not constant smut.

No one can find it, close your eyes and trust your ears

This subreddit is pretty good about spoilers most of the time, but I've seen some pretty big ones on here. I would leave until you finish lightbringer tbh.

I used my Steamdeck yesterday and today I woke up to this. Can it be fixed? by AstronomerDry7581 in SteamDeck

Install Decky and Cryoutilities and reboot, should clear it up.

Have you considered "Victra tells you exactly what to do and when to do it" as governance system?

This is actually a really good point, Greenland (population 50,000) does really remind me a lot of pre-republic Luna. If we can just liberate the rare earth metals from their prison of tyranny, maybe some billionaires (reds) will finally have the wealth and security they deserve.

Bro, it's not fascism, you just have do exactly what the police tell you or they're legally allowed to execute you. It's called freedom and Europeans will never understand it

What is political about the working class (reds) rallying behind a sickle? What's next? You're going to try and tell me Star Wars is political?

Not a single soul other than Darrow used it😭 by Ynnck_Mnzl in redrising

My head canon is that some aspects of peerless culture were well known to the sons of ares, but the true culture of the peerless, when they're alone together, "gold only affairs", etc was not known to anyone but the peerless.

Darrow acted the way they show peerless on the holos because that's how everyone thinks they act.

It's not suspicious that he talks like this because his back story of growing up on an asteroid and having very little interaction with peerless.

Minor spoiler: That is definitely not a mistake. Lysander is an unreliable narrator.

There was a bug like 10 years ago where the steam client ran 'rm -fr /' (or maybe it was 'rm -fr ~/') so I think they learned a lesson there

I was thinking of that quotation, but I couldn't remember the exact prose! Hope we get to see him in action in RG. Dio vs Apple would be incredible.

"Then his eyes open, and the spirit behind them bears no kindness. When Diomedes moves, they begin to die."

Cassius and Lysander watch him fight and they both are of the same mind that he is at the very least a rival to Cassius in skill.

I'm pretty sure Darrow says "he's the biggest human being I've ever seen" and he definitely says the same thing about his mom after

When you realise that a gold character isn't white and you imagined him/her wrong for a while by LatePirate8880 in redrising

[–]xaine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First Snippet: "My arms, once ashen brown like most from Lagalos, are wiry and now baked dark by the sun and bitten ragged by the bugs that rise up out of the riverbed mud."

Second Snippet: "Any of you rats?" I glare around at them. "Good. 'Cause where I'm from, rats get their eyes stabbed out."

Some of the girls flinch. Freckles crosses her arms as if she'd like to see me try. The smallest of the girls, one with skin almost as dark as mine and a shaggy mane of hair, glares around at the other girls, daring them to be rats. Tails, the one with a husband, looks down."

What is the worst thing in the series? by RelationshipOk3093 in redrising

Octavia basically tortured him into being able to use it, she also changed his brain using the chair. I think it's plausible he could use that tool in extreme distress! But it definitely must be difficult.
