the science was relatively believable, but the character development was 👌

2019-11-21 04:53:34 UTC  

I wonder why I never heard of it when it was airing. I must have totally missed it

2019-11-21 05:05:25 UTC  

It finished recently I think

2019-11-21 05:05:25 UTC  

I normally just wait until a cour finishes, then marathon

2019-11-21 06:04:20 UTC  

W-what?

2019-11-21 06:08:21 UTC  

Seems like tags to me.. wanted to cover all the bases.. minecraft is gay

2019-11-21 08:04:12 UTC  

ok boomer

2019-11-21 13:45:50 UTC  

Seems like there's new people around. Did we actually gain members from Revenge of the Cunts?

2019-11-21 14:02:46 UTC  

There's pretty much a constant slow trickle of people in which increases to a steady flow during either of the shows so i think that stands to reason

2019-11-21 16:33:00 UTC  

Like bad poops.

2019-11-21 21:56:32 UTC  

Hey I have 5 Audible Credits.

2019-11-21 21:56:45 UTC  

Got a couple books lined up, but shoot me some good book ideas to get.

2019-11-21 21:58:16 UTC  

Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101

2019-11-21 21:58:21 UTC  

Gulag Archelelago.

2019-11-21 21:59:10 UTC  

The Rising Tide of Color (1920) by Lothrop Stoddard

2019-11-21 21:59:21 UTC  

War and Peace or another good Tolsky book if they are decent enough. If they are read decent.

2019-11-21 23:09:54 UTC  

I've been reading a confession. Pretty good if you want to really face your existential crisis head-on.

2019-11-21 23:12:27 UTC  

Reading Russian novelists to face existential crisis? Do you want to sudoku?

2019-11-21 23:13:00 UTC  

Tbh I find I'm more productive when I introduce a bit of existential dread into my daily life

2019-11-21 23:56:13 UTC  

Any other good audiobook suggestions?

2019-11-21 23:56:36 UTC  

Dresden read by Spike from Buffy was good.

2019-11-21 23:59:25 UTC  

I only bother with actual books if possible

2019-11-21 23:59:26 UTC  

Read the Mistborn trilogy.

2019-11-21 23:59:30 UTC  

It's fantastic.

2019-11-22 00:00:29 UTC  

As far as audiobooks go, I can definitely say that I wouldn't have made it through Moby Dick if I had actually been reading it, but I really liked it in the end.

2019-11-22 00:00:56 UTC  

And then skip the time jump books and read Stormlight Archive instead

2019-11-22 00:02:11 UTC  

The problem, if you want to call it that, with getting into any Sanderson book is that I feel like it comes with an unspoken understanding that you are now obligated to read the rest of them.

2019-11-22 00:18:00 UTC  

If I read Mistborne what else do I need to read?

2019-11-22 00:21:35 UTC  

The original story was written as a trilogy, so you should really read all three.

2019-11-22 00:22:44 UTC  

That is the Final Empire, The Well of Ascencion and The Hero of Ages.

2019-11-22 00:23:20 UTC  

It looks like he wrote a lot.

2019-11-22 00:23:27 UTC  

There is also a follow up to it set on the same world something like four hundred years after.

2019-11-22 00:23:40 UTC  

Yeah

2019-11-22 00:24:43 UTC  

You know how Stephen King has a bunch of references to his other works that makes them all something like a shared universe? Even moreso with the Dark Tower series?

2019-11-22 00:24:58 UTC  

Sanderson does the same thing.

2019-11-22 00:25:48 UTC  

Errr bad example.

2019-11-22 00:26:12 UTC  

King combines universes like a drunk guy combines his car with your front porch, door, hallway, and umbrella stand.

2019-11-22 00:27:32 UTC  

Fair enough.

2019-11-22 00:28:19 UTC  

He wrote 45 books?

2019-11-22 00:28:38 UTC  

There were a bunch of things in the later half of the Dark Tower series that made me think that if this exact same thing was written by anyone not named Stephen King, they'd be laughed out of the room.

2019-11-22 00:28:43 UTC  

Sanderson?
