What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? July 01
  • Eye of the World!

    I’m about halfway through the first entry in Wheel of Time.

    So far it’s been pretty solid - I just got to

    Tap for spoiler

    The part when Rand and Mat make it to Four Kings.

    It’s been rather slow in explaining lore and the magic system, but it’s at least been interesting. Reading the chase scenes and when Mat and Rand leave Whitebridge had me stressed out.

    RIP Thom? I’m pretty sure but I’m very wary. That merchant, Fain, came back after being presumed dead.

    Wheel of Time starting point - New Spring or Eye of the World?
  • So far in the book I’m at Baerlon, and I made it until Shadar Logoth in the TV show.

    Only change I liked was having Perrin have trauma from the Winternight after accidentally killing his wife. But it makes more sense that he would be an unmarried boy like Mat and Rand.

  • Shitposts on Lemmy are basically just post whatever you want.

    Sometimes it’s beans, sometimes it’s moth, sometimes it’s highly specific nostalgia. Also a lot of trans rights stuff (happy pride, btw).

  • I agree. Official communication like this is incredibly unprofessional. Not to mention the guy’s an S grade scumbag.

    Typos don’t discriminate and I’m not sure he’s legally allowed to edit these “official communications.”

    Wheel of Time starting point - New Spring or Eye of the World?

    A couple months ago I found an anthology of the Wheel of Time.

    I had watched the first 3 or so episodes of the Amazon adaptation and wasn’t super invested into the characters, but wanted to give the book series a shot.

    Basically I’ve read about 7 chapters of New Spring and was wondering why literally none of this was brought up in the Amazon series until I realized that adaptation started with Eye of the World. Should I just skip New Spring and come back later? Does this even add to the new reading experience outside of a glance at Tar Vallon and the hierarchy of the Aes Sedai?

    I don’t hate this book - but I already know Lan becomes Moirane’s Warder and that she meets/finds the Dragon Reborn.

    Edit: I’m reading Chapter 1 of Eye of the World now. Thanks!

    > Found a neat little program that lets you play Pokemon TCG against another human OR test decks against yourself. > > Pretty cool. I'm learning to play the game against myself with decks I've tested out. It seems to work with all sets too, I think? So far I've just tested it with some base decks.

    3 packs today and 3 great looking cards.

    I’ve been having terrible luck lately, so this makes up for it a bit I think.

    Wonder pick was good to me

    I’d provide proof that I used the BRG method, but alas in my hype, I forgot to.

    So it's been almost a week since the new set dropped. How have your pulls fared?

    I can’t believe I pulled 3 of those Gholdengos AND the ⭐️⭐️ Pikachu EX I didn’t want.

    I crave the rainbow rare Pikachu.
