    Train isnt for a few minutes

    There was a girl in front of me in the queue to buy train tickets and she was wearing her jacket inside out.

    Brandon Sanderson's a great author for fantasy books. He tends to make actually very full worlds, like Tolken. He also goes at showing the worlds interestingly, with a more "Show, don't tell" way of explaining how the worlds differ from our own. That would generally not be good for a large scale fantasy book like this, with a world entirely different from our own, but he's good enough to make it work well.
    He does something really cool where most of his worlds are in the same universe. There's at least one person who kind of wanders through the worlds, and can be found in a couple of those books. There might be more, but I haven't caught them yet. There's kind of an overarching story layered over top his other stories which is easy to miss.
    He also has some really nice magic systems, he wrote himself a couple rules for how magic has to work for good writing, and he sticks by them well and makes some awesome stuff with his magics; he tends to use them cleverly. And at the end of each book is an arcane compendium, telling you what the magic is and how it works if you want to check how something works, or if something has the effect you think it does.
    In terms of where to start, he goes in trilogies; his website shows them well. I would recommend the Mistborn books, they're a reasonable length and have some really cool magic.

    What an interesting and probably time consuming hobby. I love it!

    RIP, did you tell her?

    Also, I'm gonna post some weird but relaxing gifs by Carl Burton here because I don't know where else to put 'em.

    EDIT 2 (ELECTRIC BOOGALOO): @Jimlad 42 Woah, sounds awesome! I just wanted some books to fill up my spare time, not a three-course meal of literature with a small side of spare time!

    Good afternirn, everybody. <.</

    Went back to playing FFXIV after a super long haitus. Got caught up on all of the story missions. Super stoked about the upcoming expansion. Oh! And I made a new friend online. :3 She's nice. It's sort of weird, though, because she also plays SCH and normally I find other SCHs annoying, but she was totally super nice and that's weird to me. I thought all scholars were supposed to be super snooty McDouchebags. <.<;

    Oh well. New best friend! It's nice. <3

    Don't worry much about it. They never actually hit people.

    If we're talking about Stormtroopers, sure.

    And yes, being a jedi in Star Wars rpgs isn't all that's cracking up to be, at least until you get to lv 15. I always choose to be a Scoundrel, because Han Solo ofc.

    I don't remember much about the movies with the exception of every single shot from laser rifles from the bad guys always missing, and its not like they were even close.

    Someone should have taught them to aim

    That's why, when I eventually become an evil overlord, target practice will be mandatory. Those who do not manage to hit the target after 10 attempts become the next target.

    At least Rogue One showed us why that happens. It's The Force.

    By the way, Rogue One is an entirely different matter. While their accuracy still leaves some to be desired, they certainly were not blind firing there.

    Right, I should become a politician instead. Basically the same, but I don't have to wear a ridiculous costume.

    That moment when your friend who has never even seen any Star Wars movies, gives you a random guess about the ending of the next movie and it turns out to be massive spoilers...

    I don't know whether I shoud be angry at him for spoiling it, or at myself because it was so predictable yet I didn't realise it sooner. Maybe that says a lot more about Star Wars itself than anything else.
