I used to like that game and was sad when I went back to play and found I couldn't

Is this game still a mess? I really hope it gets fixed up at some point.

I love Guild Wars and this track is burned into my brain. It's been years and years since I've heard this I think, but as soon as I saw the title I heard it in my head

I believe this does not work for Home. You can bypass it in Pro like this though. Unless something has changed I am not aware of.

That's awesome! I do really like Ice, but Ancestor is my favorite series too! I think I mostly liked it because of the "fan service" regarding going back to the convent, and all the stuff surrounding that. I am also a sucker for characters like Erris who need to figure out their humanity. I am very jealous of your signed copy :)

Reading them in order isn't required. Some of the books are loosely connected to his other Cosmere stuff, but only one of them really leans into it (I won't say which just in case)

Favorite was a tie between Tress and Yumi. I really liked the whole "Princess Bride" vibe from Tress, and Yumi was just cute and cheesy. Followed by Sunlit Man and then Frugal Wizard. I loved them all though! You?

I do like those things, so I looked it up and I think that is my next series :)

Just finished The Sunlit Man by Sanderson, and The Book of the Ice trilogy by Mark Lawrence before that. Trying to decide on what's next.

A Gnome Artificer who was mute. It was interesting to use only visual langauge to communicate with people. I had a "system" where I could use the magic items / features you get from Gnome and Artificer to talk if I decided I really needed to, but I tried to limit that both for in universe reasons, and meta reasons. Kinda defeats the purpose if you can just magic your way out of it. The idea was that she was cursed by a fey creature, and could cheat a little bit with magic, but eventually the curse would hurt too much to talk more than a little. Eventually I started to feel like the trope of Nynaeve from The Wheel of Time, only replace hair pulling with glares and knowing smiles etc.

Great movie. I love anything where the solution is something like "We're losing the race, what do we do?" "Well what if we pushed the pedal down...harder"

One of my favorite authors, Mark Lawrence, has this and he does just fine. Funnily he seems to straddle the line of creative / technical since he was a scientist before becoming an author. It's interesting, but like the article says it's not a disorder. Just a different way the brain can work.

Red Sister by Mark Lawrence. A series described inaccurately, but amusingly, as about "lesbian murder nuns".

"It is important, when killing a nun, to ensure that you bring an army of sufficient size. For Sister Thorn of the Sweet Mercy Convent Lano Tacsis brought two hundred men."

"No child truly believes they will be hanged. Even on the gallows platform with the rope scratching at their wrists and the shadow of the noose upon their face they know that someone will step forward, a mother, a father returned from some long absence, a king dispensing justice … someone. Few children have lived long enough to understand the world into which they were born. Perhaps few adults have either, but they at least have learned some bitter lessons."
