Demons Souls is a big one for me even tho I played it on PS3. I also expect Final Fantasy 16 to be announced at the PS5 event tomorrow, though not as a launch title. Speaking of final fantasy, I got a tribute to FF7 recently

So much next gen. Will be preordering PS5 ASAP, also planning a new PC build in next month or two

Thank you mods for moving this to the correct forum! since my op, I’ve been leaning towards a nightblood tattoo, but haven’t found quite the reference art I would like for the artist. still open to other ideas!!

Xenoblade Chronicles DE. Hit chapter 7 last night.

Rereading 2001: A Space Odyssey. The first 5 chapters (The Moonwatcher stuff) is some of my favorite sci fi/anthropological fiction ever.

I like the coloring on it, but as I said above, I feel its a bit simplistic and tribal looking for me. Hmmm..

Not sure if tattoo idea or way to summon people with tattoo ideas..

Hmm, thanks. I'll see if I get any nibbles here first

Hey all, anyone here have any Cosmere related tattoos? I've been thinking of getting a fantasy related sleeve on my left arm and I'd love to see what kinda Cosmere stuff people have already had done! Anyone been pondering Sanderson tattoos? Via google, I've seen some folks with the Steel Alphabet, which is cool. And a bunch of people have the Bridge 4 symbol. I like it, but I fear it would be mistaken for a generic "tribal" symbol tattoo. The immortal words are cool, not sure it would work as a sleeve. Anyway, show em off if you got em, or talk about your Cosmere tattoo dreams here?

Finally started The Wheel Of Time, #1. About 6% in.

We just finished Avatar for the first time, watching as a family. Wow! Great stuff. Appa and Uncle Iroh supremacy. Would watch a buddy comedy spin off.

He uses colloquial, made up swear words a bit too much. "Storms! Rust and Ruin!" etc etc. I don't need him to go like, GRRM low fantasy low, but it *does* come off as a little hokey to me sometimes.

Looks and sounds amazing!

A little annoyed at myself, being rather Goldilocks - I can't find the "perfect" game for me, so I haven't really played more than 5 min of games in over a month and a half, which for me is a lifetime. Part of it is lack of motivation since finishing The Last of Us II - hard to go back to gruel after eating steak, but,I'm sure I'll find something to hook me soon.

Yum! What are we looking at!?? Differently shaped loaves of Zucchini Banana bread? It's been so hot here I've been dialing back on baking. I think my next project is going to be trying a mixed chile pickle and then turning it into a spicy relish. I'm also planning on smoking some pork butt this weekend, but using the smoker isn't a skill I've picked up over quarantine, so I'll not be posting the results here, haha.

Or a demigod, as it were...

Hah, y’all are amazingly quick! Thank you! I KNEW he had to be exaggerating!!

Just like the title said, I think we could use a thread for random questions that don’t really fit in another thread. I’ll get us started: Did Rashek actually survive burning and beheading and if so, how? Burning is easier to imagine, but how exactly would a feruchemist and allomancer survive beheading? Was Rashek just exaggerating his own powers as the Lord Ruler? Just read this part of the end of The Final Empire and it’s driving me nuts.

The latter, thanks!

Link?!

I honestly still never picked it up in Mistborn. Just kinda get the gist of it....(the slang, that is...)
