Who the fuck is this?

I said this in response to the secret thread but he's quite literally not forcing anyone to get anything as these books will eventually be available for purchase like his other books. And he doesn't say anything in that kickstarter about looking good by cutting out publishers, just that its easier to set his prices for bundles and ~swag boxes.

I'll also say that the ebooks are $40 total, and that's how much you'd have to pay for some of his ebooks now, and his premium hardcover (faux leather I guess) is $40 each which is also not a crazy price and in line with his other books so I'll admit I don't get your embarrassment or what's not a good look.

I mostly just like it because I trust Sanderson to actually finish his shit and the ebook pack is cheaper than purchasing them as they come out lmao

It's interesting to me just as an indicator of how weird the publishing market is, or I guess more accurately, how weird the self-funding process is compared to traditional financing models and how it seems like it's just obviously going to take over from the existing model for a lot of already-established creators with large nerd fan followings.

You look at the mainstream publishing model on the one hand, and then you look at the number of people who are actively enthusiastic about paying Sanderson hundreds or thousands of dollars on the other, and it just feels like these things do not add up.

I saw it, looked into it, realised, I've never read any of his books and wasn't willing to put out nearly $200 for 4 books and 8 swag boxes from an author I've never read and may not even like.

Still, he definitely has his rabid fans, which is why it skyrocketed so quickly. Would not be surprised if it broke $30mil by the time it was done.

I used to be sad that I couldn't really talk to anyone about "Succession" but after watching the show, yeah, I'm so fucking glad none of my friends watch it. It's a deeply personal show for me. Having grown up in a really toxic family dynamic (but not to the levels of the ultra wealthy), maaaaan did I go through things watching the Roy family.

[philstar22]

This is how I feel about Criminal Minds. I love the show, but I love it as it is. I don't ship, except a little JJ and Will. So I'm glad none of my friends are active in the fandom so I can fairly easily avoid the fandom and enjoy the show in peace.

I'm very aware of the many Problems (TM) of The Handmaid's Tale, but for whatever reason it hits something deeply cathartic for me, so I'm more than happy to continue watching it in my own little bubble.

[(Anonymous)]

I like watching a lot of 'trashy' anime and the few my friend has seen always leads to her talking about whatever went down on twitter or pointing out what's problematic, which gets tiring after a while (although having nothing to do with My Hero Academia has made it fun to listen to her very angry opinions about it).

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm like this with a lot of foreign media on Netflix that I really enjoy.

I don't care what fandom thinks about Tribes of Europa.

I looked this up.

“King was a traditionalist conservative, but not a "movement conservative," and she objected to much of the populist direction of the contemporary American Right.She was an active Episcopalian (though she often referred to her agnosticism), a member of Phi Alpha Theta, and a monarchist.”

futurama's blend of pathetic modernism with mildly futuristic technology sounds about right tbh

I’m like this with Warhammer 40k. I wouldn’t go near the actual game, mostly because wargaming is really not my thing, but I love a lot of the lore and random details from the game. Things like the Necrons and the C’Tan. And Ax'Senaea the Thrice-Possessed might be one of my favourite incidental characters in anything ever, just for sheer bloody-minded stubbornness.

To recap what I’ve said previously, the Jedi Order didn’t fall because of Anakin, it fell because of Sidious, and leaving Anakin on Tatooine would have done absolutely nothing to stop it. The plan that led to the massacre and fall of the Jedi Order was Order 66, and that was already in motion before Qui-Gon even met Anakin. The clones had already been ordered and I’m pretty sure were in early production, the war that would bring them onto the field was being kick-started, and the political set-up that would put a Sith Lord in charge of the Galactic Senate was about five minutes away. Nothing Anakin does later really adds OR takes away from that. It’s all already moving, and it will come to fruition with no input whatsoever from Anakin Skywalker. Vader was a bonus for Sidious. He was not in any way integral to the plan.

The mistake the Order made that led to their annihilation was accepting a booby-trapped slave army and being willing to lead them into battle. Their half-assed political involvement and casual acceptance of slavery was what damned them. Anakin and his fall was incidental and symptomatic of the root cause of their demise.

The main thing Anakin does in the prequel trilogy that has real impact on the fate of the galaxy is father Luke and Leia. That’s honestly about it.
