I’ve only read Stormlight so I have no comparison to the other works, but Way Of Kings is like 1/3rd painting scenery of crushing oppression and letting depression breathe. Sanderson is not right to finish ASOIAF, by his own admission, but it’s not for lack of skill.
On god. I bought four god damn copies of it and it still wasn’t enough.
The founder literally started it because he found it difficult to rent out his vacation home. Fuck him and his vacation home.
Just my experience, I picked it up at 28 and got comfy riding easily. That’s fun and safe. Particularly longboarding.
Once I started going for tricks, I quickly injured my wrist and shoulder and noticed my one knee having issues. Had to switch sports to bicycling (which I’m enjoying even more)
It literally happens every Olympics and people lose their mind every time. Same with “funny shooting stance” memes.
Are they back in stock? I’ve looked off and on for months and every time they’re back ordered, and I refuse to pay scalper prices.
For real, friends in discord were aghast at this, and I’m thinking “bro I’ve heard you tell your kids to shut the fuck up.”
Both. It allowed/forced me to explicitly handle edge cases I wasn’t thinking about. That means the error doesn’t happen at run time, but at compile time (or while writing!) so technically speaking the errors didn’t go away, they moved to in my face rather than “maybe in the future.”
Most of the time the remedy was to explicitly catch whatever happened and nicely explain what happened, vs looking at empty production logs because logging is turned down.
It’s certainly a preference, but for me, I’d rather argue with the compiler all day long and push a bulletproof release than quickly ship something I thought was good and be embarrassed.
Anecdotally I converted a python app to rust and suddenly had no more runtime errors. It’s utter bliss.
Redmane Freyja and Sir Ansbach. You bring a letter to Freyja from Ansbach who elaborates some. You also bring a scroll about the ritual to Ansbach who lays it all out quite clear. The dialogue is all on fextralife so you don’t have to replay the entire DLC
In Messmer’s castle, I think most of the NPCs as well as notes you pick up refer to both of the two required vanilla bosses’ corpses being moved or otherwise manipulated. They also talk about a ritual, I believe one NPC even connecting the dots for the player and saying explicitly what the ritual is for and that the corpse is for the ritual. It’s the most coherent and opaque FromSoft lore has ever been.
Whether it’s GOOD that that’s the boss is up for debate, I certainly don’t agree. But it isn’t an arbitrary decision.
He has to be dead to fulfill the role he plays?? Did you even play the DLC? They tell you this over and over.

Saw a lot of criticism of this song harping on how generic and simple the riff is. And I agreed, it’s kind of Kublai Khan’s schtick. But they’re capable of more interesting rhythms, and I realized it was definitely an intentionally “low tech” rhythm. Brought me back around.
Forget those complex “classic” knots and try the “Van Wijk” knot. It couldn’t be easier, you only move the fat end of the tie and wrap it around the skinny end 2-4 times before pulling the fat end through the wraps. So fast, impossible to forget, and looks classy while being distinct.
A university professor down here put together a website about this horrific crime. He went to great lengths collecting documents from the time.
I had to rewind three times cause I swore I kept missing something important that made that significant or something. Needless to say I was glued to the screen until the credits rolled.
I’ve been stuck in Winter’s Heart for months, maybe even approaching a year now. I might finish it by the time i have grandkids.
FWIW Ryobi’s battery has been the same format since the 90s which removed any doubt I had about continuing to buy the brand.
I like leaving mine on, I prefer resting my hand on smooth metal vs the bridge hardware
