  1. Both! Cats are good in ways that dogs aren't, dogs are good in ways that cats aren't, ferrets are good in ways neither of them are, and foxes are another facet of goodness entirely!
  2. I think you just discovered the holy texts of the Willshapers condensed into stamps.
  3. Oh, my bad, I misunderstood. I do agree that Lift is a special case, though. Most of what Cultivation meddles with tends to be an exception to something.
  4. No? Lightweavers can project a sort-of astral body into the Cognitive, but Jasnah and presumably other Elsecallers can go there entirely, Physical body and all.
  5. From what I know, some people will set up recording devices on the questioning table area, or in larger places find an area to record the audio, then someone goes through and transcribes as best as possible.
  6. I'm not surprised they had manifestations of the same Surges Roshar experiences, since they're both coming from the same source. I believe the constraints (or lack of constraints) has something to do with the lack of spren guidance. Syl talks about how Szeth is worse than a Radiant because he has no spren to guide him, and this could be something similar. No two-way sapience to hold back planet-crushing abilities, no Oaths to break to cut the flow. Broad but shallow vs narrow but deep seems to be Roshar vs Ashyn Surges. I just realized this is off-topic, though. Whoops.
  7. Yeah that's the not much.
  8. Yep! Enjoy!
  9. Time for a serious answer: Ashyn Surges seemed a lot more focused. More like gaining a specific ability than an entire Surge's worth. At least that's what I'm seeing from what I know of Ashyn, which isn't that much given the circumstances..
  10. Filtered through bacteria that made you sick, for one thing.
  11. Before reading Stormlight, you should read Warbreaker. Not only is it shorter (and currently standalone), it would be a nice break. Also, yeah, as Lump-wing noted, if you haven't read all the newest Mistborn books, feel free to hop into those.
  12. It's a good while, but we don't know exactly. Brandon has been hesitant to give a solid figure due to timeline corrections that have had to happen in the past. Breath and Stormlight are manifestations of the same thing: Investiture. That's what Nightblood eats. So yes in context of Nightblood.
  13. There's a lot of really good symbols that work as tattoos. I plan to get the Truthwatcher glyph at some point, and most of the Radiant glyphs would look good in ink, as would the various Allomantic and Feruchemical symbols, or the Nalthis flower, or the Selish symbol. It all comes down to what your favorite world or magic system is. So what's your favorite world/magic system?
  14. I saw the world "yall" and got excited because I thought it'd be in the South for a second.
  15. Lance sighed, a light tapped flow of determination coming from the ring to let him shrug off the pain, and spoke softly. "I don't know. They don't...like me at the moment. The Scarlets are likely already dead or scattered, honestly. Doesn't take long for certain parties to get going when they smell weakness. And yes, some of them can do what I can. They are a major threat, even if some people don't realize it fully, like Willet didn't. Most people will learn somehow, unless we do something." Even contemplating doing something like that turned Lance's blood cold. With what he'd seen...going against them might be suicide. But they might have to. If there was no other choice, would he do it? He could flee to the Roughs, or even beyond that into the wilderness. He could live. Rust Elendel and all its high society, he could pick up and leave. What was keeping him here? He could make masks outside the city just as well as he could in it. He had enough money to do it. Hop a train and leave. This wasn't a fight he could win "...but we need to fight it anyway." @ZincAboutIt
  16. Lance smirked at Attayl's words and looped an arm around her shoulders companionably, subtly Pulling Nerin's scissors into his other hand as he did so. "You want to threaten me? I could slash your throat and physically nail you, hand and foot, to a wall before you could react and no one would fault me. Most people wouldn't question it. 'Just another victim of the Farriers' is all you'd be known by. You want to try it?" He rested the cold metal end of the scissors against her wrist. "You wouldn't last any longer than a second. You want me to respect Nerin? Already done. That's why your blood isn't all over this floor already with your ribs suddenly exposed to airflow. That's what tends to happen to people who put their faces near mine without warning. "You want me gone? You're going to have to shove me out of that door, and I think Nerin might take a little bit of offense to that. Her parlor, not yours. If she wants me gone, she can very well tell me herself. In the meantime, stretch your bounds by all means, but don't take it too far. "You may not live to regret that." @Sorana He pulled the scissors away and reversed them back toward Nerin, grip-first, pulling his other arm back in the same motion. "Alright let's get this over with. Only the front needs stitches, but the hole's pretty nasty since it was probably a .357 that got me. Came out cleanly, if there's bone shards, I can't feel them. I'll have a drink when you're done, but not until then." Lance slipped an electrum ring out of an inner pocket and onto his finger in case he needed the store. He stood up quickly and shucked his pants down to his knees to expose the bullet hole in his thigh, taking care not to move anything underneath that wasn't strictly necessary. "Easier than cutting, yes?" @ZincAboutIt
  17. I was part of a thing the Youtuber MiniLadd was hosting on his server and I made it into his voice channel and the golf game that was the theme of the night both.
  18. They have to see the questions, but it only shows up on one screen, hence the screensharing/streaming. Unless there's a setting I'm unaware of.
  19. Lance tipped his head equivocally. "True enough, but it isn't the first time, and after the wonderful preliminary care I got," he paused to take a swig from a flask that had been stowed away in his coat and wink gently at Nerin, "how could I even feel such a small thing as a bullet wound?"
  20. Not a limit to the amount of people that can be in the call. I was in a call with some 500 people once, so the only limit is how much your computer can handle on that regard, but unfortunately the stream limit is very real. As mentioned, only 10 people can watch a single stream at a time.
  21. I wonder if what they're worried about is the destruction of whatever Sleepless civilization may or may not exist on Aimia or in other places. Or maybe that particular Sleepless would end up conscripted into fighting in a Desolation that very well might kill them, since we did see what appears to be the corpse of one in one of the visions.
  22. About half an hour later, Lance walked into the parlor, having left Nerin to walk back inside from the roof at her own request (surprisingly using the front door for once), with his trademark swagger and bravado pulled firmly back into place and a slight bounce in his step as he spun into the main room and directly into a chair. "So, how about that package?" @Sorana @ZincAboutIt @Ookla the Maybe-Existent
  23. Imagine if that's the Lost Metal the 7th book is named for. The fork was secretly made of the only Lerasium outside the Well and those mysterious "other places."
