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