This derail is fucking lame as shit.

Cause he's only good at writing angsty protagonists, and can't pull off anyone who just likes to chill, have a good time, and hit on the ladies. Probably because he's a mormon.

Got the 2019 Razer blade stealth last month. Seriously the sexiest laptop I've ever seen. I don't think I've ever been so happy with a computer purchase.

My app says it needs to update, but there is no new update in the app store. Any ideas?

The fuck? Buy German or Japanese. They're plenty of options in your price range, and they will all be great knives.

The Malazan Empire mage corps are absolutely scrapping the bottom of the barrel by the time the Bonehunters are assembled. Decades of constant warfare have taken a toll, and there are hints about that scattered throughout the series. The mages that they have are basically anyone showing any...

I agree that Yedan is pretty poorly developed and just gets dropped in seemingly OP. That being said, the Hust swords were made for killing eleint, providing magical powers or whatever to the user, and the Shake are some crazy hybrid human/tiste/kchain race, it's not that much of a stretch for...

It's been a while, but there are also hints and plot points about how thinly stretched Ben is in dealing with the Crippled God, helping Burn, playing Shadowthrone, supporting Kalam/Fiddler/etc, so on and so forth. Taking most of book 1 with a grain of salt, I always felt Ben's powerlevel was...

Yeah a desk and chair is on my list for a spare bedroom/office

I've lived abroad since graduating college in 2007. I've never moved for a new job with anything more than my 2 checked bags and carry on luggage. I just bought a place back in the states to use during summers, and I need to completely furnish it. So the question is, what is some cool shit...

I forget if it made any specific recommendations. It was more about looking at the financial habits of people that are millionaires. A lot end up finding ways to dodge inheritance taxes through donating it or whatever. I bet you'd just take the leftover money and make it a long-term trust so...

If they have an issue with coming out of undergrad and possibly grad school debt free, but without a trust to coddle them through adulthood, they can piss the fuck off.

It's been a while since I read it, but "The Millionaire Next Door" has a chapter about how leaving money for your kids has a negative impact of like -30% of total earnings compared to their peers, while only leaving money to pay for 100% of their education gives them +30% earnings compared to...

Africa currently. We've worked in Japan, Mexico, and now central Africa. edit: Thank you btw! haha

Based on your posting history, you should probably start reading some blogs on personal finance, divorce, and single parenting.

Partner and I have been putting money aside for a couple years with a 5 year goal of buying some sort of property in my hometown in the states. We live and work abroad and are looking mostly for property as an investment and/or a place to crash over vacations and store some of our stuff. Staying...

I go on a Murakami reread binge every couple years and the mood of NW gets me every time. I fucking love it.

Is that you Gordon?

Have we all become too old to ask for before and after pics? Or are we trying to be more mature in this sub-forum.

haha dude, the list of things wrong with his writing is endless. One of the things that drove me insane is how he shifts point of view every paragraph to explain each characters thoughts with little to no indication of the shift! It's something that's really been getting on my nerves lately...

I read the first two and gave up. The writing is total shit, and the entire plot is so contrived. It feels like a shitty knock off of the Prince of Nothing books.

Start exercising.

I live and work abroad, and travel regularly. Good luggage is crucial. Luggage set: Delsey Aero 3 piece Carry-on backpack: Minaal 2.0

I've shopped a lot at both their Japan shops and the one in NYC. I have to buy large in Japan, and they're tight with slightly short arm length. Medium is the right size for me at the NYC store and are a little looser in the shoulders and chest.

Uniqlo

Let's spice things up with some comic relief. A little background. I've been with this girl for 10 years, but we're not married, and no kids. Had some rocky times when we were doing long distance, but that was 5 years ago. Shits been good, we get along great, have some similar hobbies, and she...

I was struggling a little bit during the first 1/3, but then the connections between the three timelines started to become more clear. I enjoyed the final half of the book, especially the ending. If anything, my complaints are more that it seems very safe. He's playing with a lot of the same...

Foie gras is great and you're wrong.

No don't do it! They are not the same, they do not taste the same. Parm is aged longer and is cow milk. It has a softer, nutty flavor. Pecorino is aged only briefly, and is sheep milk. It is sharper, saltier, and tangier. They are different. They are both good, but not interchangeable. Each has...

There are a lot of different types of "blue" cheese. The one that popped in my mind when you said you thought it was greenish made me think Roquefort. Try that one out!

Have your read "The Quantum Thief"? I thought it was original and very cool.

It wasn't flashy, it wasn't extremely powerful, but the MP5 from Half Life 1 with the grenade launcher just felt so smooth and satisfying to use in deathmatch games.

It took a few years more than I had hoped, but I'm finally financially stable. Took a job 5 years ago knowing it wouldn't pay well, but would be a great resume builder. Ended up having to support my girlfriend for a couple years while she was in a similar position but even lower pay, and ran up...

I get the feeling it's like the WH40k space marine and their primarchs. There's a super strong radiant at the head of each chapter, and then kinda watered down versions making up the rank and file.

That's another thing that annoys me about Sanderson. On the fucking podcast they talk about something they called "the sanderson ending" or something like that, I forget the exact phrase. How the novel goes along and then explodes right at the end. And its like its a good thing and a hallmark of...

I'm 35% of the way in an just can't stay interested. How many times are we going to walk around the mountain-city doing pointless shit with Shallan, or listen to Dalinar complain about trying to unite the rulers, or read half assed Kaladin chapters sympathizing with the parshman. I was...

Let's play them both!

Shining Force Chrono Trigger

I'm pretty happy with this years sale. Lot of stuff thats been sitting on my wishlist for a while, almost all for ~$10. Legend of Grimrock 2, Grim Dawn, Rebel Galaxy, South Park TSOT, Hollow Knight, Outlast, Transistor, Fallout 4 season pass. $82

I guess this is an excuse to give this a shot. I've been looking for something new to play.
