| cmaloney | Morning | 14:05 |
|---|---|---|
| _stink_ | yo | 14:10 |
| widox | morning | 14:49 |
| waldo323 | good morning | 15:06 |
| greg-g | yawn | 15:31 |
| jrwren | Good morning | 15:47 |
| jrwren | I'm, apparently, still on pacific time. | 15:47 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: Did you fly out there? | 15:48 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: yes, vegas a few days last week for CES. | 15:49 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: Oh I am both thrilled and sorry for you | 15:49 |
| cmaloney | thrilled because vegas, and sorry because CES | 15:50 |
| jrwren | oh, just be sorry for both. | 15:51 |
| cmaloney | Only so many 4K / 8K TVs one can see in one lifetime | 15:51 |
| jrwren | i definitely liked the CES part better than the vegas part. | 15:51 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, Vegas can be a bit of a shithole | 15:51 |
| * cmaloney hasn't been there since 2000 and that's OK | 15:52 | |
| jrwren | that isn't saying much. The CES part was pretty weak too, but it did spark some ideas, which I think is the point. | 15:52 |
| cmaloney | That's cool | 15:52 |
| rick_h | morning for a bit longer | 16:01 |
| rick_h | ski weekend went ok. Love the nintendo switch for non-sking | 16:02 |
| jrwren | some of the team brought switches to CES and were playing during downtime. I'm not a gamer, so I was just annoyed by their high volume setting. | 16:04 |
| rick_h | oh I play volume down/off | 16:05 |
| jrwren | you are courteous. ;) | 16:08 |
| rick_h | well tbh the game sound doesn't do much for me I guess. I tend to put a podcast/etc on when I'm playing my zelda | 16:09 |
| jrwren | I do that when playing sometimes, when I rarely do game. | 16:12 |
| cmaloney | heh | 16:17 |
| rick_h | yea, we got the switch for christmas and with zelda on it I'm hooked so gaming a lot more than usual | 16:19 |
| cmaloney | i've heard a lot of fokjs getting into zelda on the switch | 16:20 |
| jrwren | Its a Zelda | 16:20 |
| rick_h | yea, it's really good. I haven't really spent any time on zelda since windraker? and that I only played a bit | 16:21 |
| cmaloney | wind walker | 16:25 |
| cmaloney | wind raker is a james bond movie. | 16:25 |
| jrwren | and windrunners are the radiants from stormlight archive. :) | 16:25 |
| cmaloney | Not to be confused with WindJammers, which is an awesome Neo Geo arcade game | 16:27 |
| rick_h | lol, windrunners are awesome | 16:29 |
| rick_h | jrwren: did you finish book 3? I liked it better than book 2 | 16:29 |
| jrwren | rick_h: I did not. I'm still re-reading book 2. | 16:31 |
| jrwren | Reading it slowly, really enjoying it. | 16:31 |
| rick_h | nice | 16:31 |
| jrwren | I feel its very good on second read, which is rare for me to say about a book. | 16:31 |
| rick_h | yea, same | 16:33 |
| cmaloney | just finished pushing the snow with a shovel | 16:59 |
| cmaloney | I think it took longer to work up the courage to go out there than actually shovel the snow | 16:59 |
| jrwren | your back may thank you | 17:00 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, I don't lift when I don't have to | 17:00 |
| waldo323 | my license plate may say cosmere | 18:35 |
| cmaloney | hint: it does | 18:35 |
| jrwren | ha! waldo323 AWESOME | 18:36 |
| waldo323 | :) | 18:36 |
| waldo323 | thanks, have you read edgedancer? | 18:37 |
| waldo323 | and warbreaker? | 18:37 |
| jrwren | Edgedancer, yes. Warbreaker, no. What is the later? | 18:43 |
| jrwren | Edgedancer was super fun. I hope he writes with those characters more. I forget her name, but she is super fun and the way her spren tollerates her is too fun. | 18:43 |
| cmaloney | I haven't finished Warbreaker yet | 18:44 |
| * cmaloney has the audiobook for that | 18:44 | |
| * cmaloney also has this one: https://www.audiobookstand.com/Authors/Brandon%20Sanderson/Books/Shadows%2bfor%2bSilence%2bin%2bthe%2bForest%2bof%2bHell%2b%2526%2bPerfect%2bState/Format/MP3-CD%20Unabridged/ISBN/978-1-5113-7270-1 | 18:50 | |
| cmaloney | sorry re: The URL | 18:50 |
| waldo323 | lift | 18:52 |
| waldo323 | warbreaker is on another planet but has some characters you've read in WoR and will see more of in oathbringer | 18:53 |
| cmaloney | <3 MP3 audio books | 18:53 |
| cmaloney | WoR? | 18:54 |
| waldo323 | words of radiance. I'd recommend reading warbreaker before Oathbringer - it helps you know the voices of the characters which are also in oathbringer | 18:55 |
| waldo323 | also warbreaker was a book Brandon wrote more publicly and is available free via his website | 18:56 |
| waldo323 | it has a creative commons license - so when he was at penguicon I thought it was the most appropriate book for him to sign(I have the hardcover...which you can borrow if you would rather read it that way) | 18:57 |
| cmaloney | I have the eBook and the audio book | 19:00 |
| cmaloney | But thank you | 19:00 |
| cmaloney | It's more that the audiobook player that I have is a little clunky | 19:01 |
| jrwren | well heck, now I need to find Warbreaker. | 19:01 |
| waldo323 | https://brandonsanderson.com/books/warbreaker/warbreaker/ | 19:01 |
| cmaloney | https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ak.alizandro.smartaudiobookplayer&hl=en <- This is the one that I use | 19:01 |
| jrwren | is it in that recent Arcanum book? | 19:02 |
| waldo323 | no | 19:04 |
| waldo323 | double checking | 19:04 |
| jrwren | but... pub date 2009. that doesn't make sense. | 19:06 |
| waldo323 | it is one of his earlier works, it happens before word of radiance | 19:07 |
| jrwren | it was published before the way of kinds. | 19:08 |
| jrwren | *kings* | 19:08 |
| jrwren | but maybe he write it while writing the way of kings. | 19:08 |
| waldo323 | i couldn't say read before words of radiance since you're rereading it | 19:08 |
| jrwren | interesting. | 19:08 |
| jrwren | ha! i see. | 19:08 |
| waldo323 | i think he had an early draft back then | 19:08 |
| waldo323 | i've heard some characters have changed a lot since the early drafts and some live who didn't then etc | 19:09 |
| jrwren | interesting. | 19:13 |
| jrwren | but, the only warbreaker I find is from 2009. | 19:13 |
| jrwren | i just requested it. I'll read it soon :) | 19:13 |
| waldo323 | yes that is when it was published | 19:16 |
| waldo323 | he typically has a long game in mind and there is always another secret | 19:17 |
| rick_h | yea, in the front of the third book it talks about how he's actually gotten subtle connections between his different series and such | 19:20 |
