@TheStarwald I've been struggling to get through Wind and Truth, can't put my finger on it, but I just have no interest in continuing reading it.

Sanderson is one of my idols. His books have made a measurable impact on my life, notably Oathbringer, Way of Kings, and the Mistborn series. My first book ever published, Everfont, is extremely similar in prose and progression (albeit my attempt is much more fumbling and amatuerish). He to this day stands as one of my greatest inspirations.
I think Wind and Truth, Rhythm of War, and Lost Metal are his weakest books. I don't know what changed, but there has been a notable shift in quality.
I genuinely hope he is able to return to form. I've met him in person once before (outside of author/writing events) and he is a genuinely nice person. I wish him nothing but the best, as he is one of my heroes.

@evelyne0n I've played MTG and Yu-Gi-Oh. MTG has much less "non-games" than that. Dont really wanna spend money trying anything else.

begging people that only play magic to go to one tournament for literally any other game before logging on twitter and saying stupid shit

Every TCG is going to have non-games. Non-games are the result of variance which is something TCG's need. Some people feel like Magic's non-games are worse because the variance comes from the mana system, so a MTG non-game is "you don't play you cards." In reality this is no more of a non-game than some Hearthstone card doing something random to kill you out of nowhere, but Magic takes more heat for it because it feels worse. It's basically the same concept as how in Commander you can Doom Blade your opponent's commander and it's fine, but if you counter it they get salty. The result is the same, but the Doom Blade gives you the illusion that you were actually making progress and doing something. It tricks you into thinking your decisions mattered, but really they didn't. Non-games in other TCG's do a better job of giving you this illusion, to tricking you into thinking that they aren't really non-games because you are taking game actions and doing things. But really they are the same as getting mana screwed.

No quiero meterme con las creencias de nadie, pero es que me parece muy poco creíble que alguien tarde 3 días en resucitar en vez de jugarse un Reanimate en primer turno.

@ThomasWStevens1 @FinPhilosopher You do realize he said Colorado, not Denver. You realize not all of Colorado is Denver...right?

@FinPhilosopher Soooo not Denver. That's what we all thought. You realize Westminster is not Denver...right?

Colorado is a very liberal state, but at my gym it is 90% conservative and very Christian.
Was in the sauna having small talk with an older gentleman mentioning he had to pick up groceries, so i asked if he was going to Target.
Then he went off for 10 minutes on Targets trans policies 😂

@MAGAVoice Yes both should be cautionary tales of why we dont worry what these countries do to each other. $39,000,000,000,000 in debt and we are losing more money for no reason, our money that's stolen from us everyday for this.

Colonel was rescued in Iran
We lost $120M-$200M worth of Planes
We successfully saved our Warfighter
The left loses their mind over the cost
Yet Biden left ~ $90B dollars of equipment behind in Afghanistan and the Left was totally fine

@AureusArena @PathOfMen_ Seriously this dude is like "I want my man to write poetry, and be in good shape for me".

@PathOfMen_ I think as a man you should not give a fuck what another man chooses to do with his time. It’s pretty gay if you think about it…
English
as a man, you don’t need a PS5.
Spending hours everyday on video games is for losers. Get out of the house and explore a bit, meet new people, play a sport. Or stay in and do something that sharpens you: read, write, sketch, create.

Maturity is realizing that a PS5 is all you need on a Sunday as a man.
