“No cap y’all, our earnings are looking pretty sus.”

Hilarious to see the boilerplate corporate weak mea culpa but said in gamer bro language style. 

They don’t care. It’s just bully mentality so they’ll argue whatever to feel like the big person in the room. Their main argument for being an ass is that everyone is doing it. I should have just ignored the obvious troll.

Lex also can’t stand it being pointed out that they’re being more toxic than the fans they’re complaining about.

The people saying this looks like a vagina have never seen one at all so it’s all good 

Ive never seen a vagina that looks like that.

that has to be one of the least labia-shaped things being called labia-shaped I’ve yet seen.

In the Name of the Wind is a great example of why prose really doesn’t matter that much. Rothfuss can write great prose but he is fucking AWFUL at storytelling, characterization, plot, worldbuilding, etc. It’s impossible to read his books without cringing in vicarious embarrassment for how it treats women like he was…

I didn’t imagine I lived in a universe where someone thought george rr Martin wrote believable good characters. His characters are barely even caricatures. And most are so dull I didn’t even finish their chapters. Grrim is the shock jock of fantasy. Basically the black company but without the likeable or well written…

LexW cannot stand different people having different opinions from them.

Remember when they said ray tracing was supposed to be a performance BOOST because the RTX cores were supposed to take the light rendering load (which was apparently substantial) off the rest of the card? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Yeah for most games that have it the most noticable changes are more accurate reflections in windows and other reflective surfaces as well as cast shadows. In games like cyberpunk where there are a lot of reflective surfaces it’s a nice visual effect to have if you’re willing to spare the performance. But for a lot of…

Sure, that’s a vulva. If you’re one of those terminally-online folks who also happen to be into a certain category on “the Hub” allows you to peak into the abyss, that is.

he writes better and more believable/human characters, he tells stories better

Agreed. I love Sanderson’s worlds but they are not high level writing. What attracts me to Sanderson’s books is the world building and creative/unique magic systems that are all connected. And the fun and escapism, and sometime hilarious characters. Arguably the same could be said of Wheel of Time and Song of Ice and…

As someone with no real opinion on Sanderson or Wired, I think there is the basic issue of an interview, like all news, is really filtered through the lens of the interviewer. Kehe seems to not like Sanderson much, but saying things like “I never got anything real from him” is pure pontificating that takes away from…

“The MCU of fantasy books” is such a perfect description!  And I’m saying that as a general fan!

EVERY fanbase has at least a few toxic elements in todays world. Thats what social media has done to us. Forget SU and R&M. Have you ever seen the Star Wars, Marvel, Snyder Bros, Flash fans, My Little Pony, on and on and on. They all have “fans” that will scream at you if you disagree with them.

“Why is the article so mean-spirited? Why does he hate Hugh Jackman so much that he bursts into tears when hearing him sing? Is this guy okay?”      Not just that, but seeing Sanderson’s 15 year old son salt his Yakisoba makes him CRY. So either

I like Sanderson’s books, they’re definitely popular because they’re accessible and competently delivered as opposed to dazzling the reader with prose but there’s no shame in being the MCU of fantasy books.
