As someone who is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what’s the problem?

Apartheid Clyde just really, really likes fascism but can’t say it out loud to everyone

Not played in years but tokens kinda make scenery pointless back when I did. You needed to know if the model was in full, partial or no cover and hit rolls were based on that. A lot of my tactical play invovled popping out from behind trees and taking fortified areas. Rules might have changed tho idk

From JRR Tolkien to Robert Jordan there’s always some excuse for the monarchy apologia. The later even described himself as a libertarian monarchist whatever the fuck that’s supposed to mean. I love the books but god damn stfu

Valid, I just feel like luddites get a bad rap yknow, someone’s gotta stand up for them

Kaczynski wasn’t a luddite, luddites only hated technology because of who controlled it

See this guy gets it, you can totally separate the art from the artist

Oh yeah that wasn’t a defence of BS really, I’m not keen on his work.

But yeah Jordan was a Great cheesy prose writer

Didn’t Fidel Castro do this on a Simpsons Episode?

I’m a huge WoT fan (well, the first 7 books really) but I think you’d be surprised by how much of the last 3 books were actually written by RJ and not BS. Jordan was basically bedbound and still trying to write, and I think it shows; and Harriet didn’t have the heart to edit him as hard as she should have. For example all the prologues, that were roundly panned as a “change in tone” and “clearly writen by Sanderson” were all RJ, turns out.

Which is to say I don’t think we can put it all on Sando, even though I do agree that a lot of the bits we know we’re him (everything with Androl lol) were not up to the prose of the rest of the series. And I totally feel you on the Mat parts though, BS wrote a lot of those, and really did him dirty.

Weirdly the cut material with Demanded in Shara (River of Souls or whatever) was actually probably the best piece that BS wrote for the whole series and Harriet cut it lmao
