Oversleep

Can I share a funny screenshot linked to the thing?

They probably would claw out of it anyway. Also, throwing cats is not something you should do.

knife, wallet, pack of tissues, phone and keys (like 6 of them). I could probably put my headphones there too but 1) I have nothing to plug them into right now 2) don't wanna expose them to keys. And that's just one pocket.

Yes you did and you and your persistence deserve many, many upvotes.

Let me state it again: I am not saying they are the same thing. I'm saying that in the context we're discussing there is no functional difference... It's like we are talking about rumoured ban on having more than four dogs in your house but the actual ban (which we do not know) is on having more than four pets and dogs and cats are always sold together in pairs (you cannot buy a dog without buying a cat and vice versa). In that scenario dog is essentially the same thing as a cat. That's what I'm saying. @Blightsong I interpret those WoBs differently but I'll write about it later.

I think @Kaymyth says that she should be able to buy pants in ladies' section which are not deprived of pockets. Anyway, the whole thing probably stems from this belief: "You need to keep your stuff somewhere. Women have handbags. Men do not, so they'll have pockets" or, alternatively "You need to keep your stuff somewhere. Men have pockets. Women have to have reason to use handbags, therefore pockets must go".

I feel there was already a thread about this with some good ideas inside. It was about medallions vs spikes. I will shamelessly link you to my post in that topic. Here.

I hesitate to take that WoB to confirm that savantism does increase the amount of Innate Investiture. Because Brandon on many occassions had said that savantism is about wider cracks in the Spiritweb which allow more power to flow in. Here's one of those WoBs. It's implications are that "stronger Mistborns are "quantitative difference" while savants are "qualitative difference". And Brandon even says that "Wax can do more with less". " The thing with with permeating the soul is that "they[the powers] are changing his soul, and so the powers are morphing and changing". I assume you mean this WoB? The thing is, few sentences later he goes back on it: Knight Radiant have a Splinter attached to their soul, so it pretty much confirms what I'm saying. I meant that those pieces of Innate Investiture have Connections tied to them - so one thing means the other; and in the scenario we're discussing (you died) they're pretty much interchangeable since we're only considering how they affect transition time. And who says they would have trouble with that (BTW, I'm not sure what you mean by floating on the coin. I assume you mean some specific thing with Steelpushing)? We've seen what, Zane do it? With Allomantic steel spike? Wax, a savant with like 20+ years of experience with one power only? Vin, who's some kind of space ninja? BTW, please let's move the discussion of savants somewhere else. Here? EDIT: ALSO, update to the main theory: "Investiture is sticky" - Shards are prone to getting tied to places, Cognitive Shadows and entities are hard to move offworld etc.

You're not dumb. It's very clear from what I've seen that you're an intelligent person. But being intelligent does not make you resistant to psychical pressure. The situation you got in was messy and hard to resist. (I can relate - I'm a person who hates preorders on principle and claims they're evil. And a person who is against buying games before at least year have passed since its release. Still I got tangled into advertisement and almost preordered the next game in a series which I had still three to go through first. So yeah.) If you want advice, a good tactic is to say that you're just trying them out today and not buying. You can still bargain all you want but if you decide you're not buying today they cannot pressure you into doing it. Usually buying things in the heat of the moment is bad idea. Don't try to explain like "I don't brought my wallet" or anything because you'll get into discussion. You want to just state that you're not buying now. That I cannot vouch for, I'm sorry.

we do? Nah. Lerasiumborns are stronger Allomancers because lerasium adds on more Preservation's Investiture. By extension it strenghtens their Connection to Preservation. My theory is that Innate Investiture is correlated and proportional to the respectful Connections. In that model the Innate Investiture of Mistborns and their Connections are functionally indistinguishable in the context of post-death transition.

Naah, I used to wear headphones under my T-Shirt, they still managed to fall out often.

Nothing is safe, everything is hackable.

H E R E S Y One does not skip pages in books.

Well, I think that Preservation would eventually die. Agony can't last forever, even for Shards.

Actually if TLR just took everyone away to another planet - uninhabited but hospitable - like mass exodus, it would solve almost all of the problems. Ruin would still get to destroy the planet but it wouldn't matter anymore. Before he got free the Metallic Arts would work all right - they'd only stop if Preservation and Ruin deInvested Scadrial, however it would came to be (their anihilation, anihilation of Scadrial, Ruin winning and destroying Scadrial, pick your choice). Of course there would be the question of whether Ruin would feel compelled to destroy them after having already destroyed Scadrial. Anyway we'd end up with Ruin rampaging universe.

I have a thread explaining the mechanism of the atium counter: And a WoB diving in electrum workings:

You're right. Yeah, but I explain why more Investiture equals more time post-death. Nothing shocking but it fits nicely.

Unfortunately we don't know much Realmatically about savants :< I think they neither get more Investiture nor they're more Connected to Preservation - by virtue of deepened cracks they are able to use the Investiture more efficiently...?

UPDATE: Also, tl;dr: "Investiture is sticky" - Shards are prone to getting tied to places, Cognitive Shadows and entities are hard to move offworld etc. So, first off: You probably remember that Mistborn are not Invested when not burning metals. That's no longer true. They're as Invested as Knights Radiant (WoB): My theory is that it's not specifically Investiture keeping you in Cognitive Realm, but Connections that come out of that Investiture keep you like a chain to the anchor. In that case, the Connections probably go to Shards (like Allomancers)... or other things? Gonna discuss it below. Anyway, we know some Connections break the moment you die - vide Shardblades dropping - but some are kept (like Kelsier's Connection to Preservation as he was a Mistborn). And that are the anchors that take longer to break and result in longer transition time to Beyond. Now I'm gonna discuss various types of Investment and how would those act upon death: Allomancers: Connection to Preservation, pretty straightforward. Feruchemists: No idea as we don't know how Feruchemy works Realmatically. Maybe Connection to both Preservation and Ruin? But wouldn't it mean longer transtion time as you are anchored to two Shards? Hemalurgists: It doesn't include Ruin's Investiture, so probably Connections to the Shards that the stolen abilities are of. Surgebinders are weird: Connection to the spren is broken at the time of death - vide dropping Shardblades - but we don't know how it works with living spren Awakeners: having a lot of Breath would tie you to Endowment but on the other hand there is (I'm not sure) a WoB stating that Breaths are not part of the soul? Selish people: Elantrians do have Connection to the Dor (as it flows through them all the time) but there's that thing with stronger Connections to the land... And now, for really weird - Cognitive Realm on Sel is packed full of Investiture they're Connected to. What if... what if Invested people on Sel don't go to the Beyond at all?! And just hang on in the Dor?

I don't know. I check the wiki which says it's gonna be "Steven's dream". The previous one is the winter story flashback.

Don't mind. I've said something about throwing some color in, so they're all right. I did say something about being music fan so they're in-character all right. Funny thing: the person that inspired this character has headphones like that and he does wear them like that. All in all I like it

Fear not! Next Steven Universe episode airs in 10 hours, 40 minutes and 32 seconds! 31... 30...

Usually in movies: people scribbling and writing over maps with markers and pens and stuff. And I'm just sitting there and thinking "Sure, it's not like you're gonna need the details of the terrain you just covered with that thick line marking your route... Oh wait..."

People of youtube mentioned it's like Welcome to Night Vale so I thought I'd share (yes, I watched all of the important videos playlist. All 311 of them)
