Question, was there a reason why we closed down the Hellfire Bar or did people just stop doing it?
Sir  Reginald.
I will miss you, my friend Mdodd. May you find peace.
Snowy,  I am rooting for you. I hope you remain happy and as comfortable as possible.

Mostly the latter, but I'll tell you more in detail another time (so you have to come back).

Oh Dina. I will hold you to that.  ;)  But for now it is almost midnight and I work in the morning so I should probably think about sleep. You know, in the metaphorical sense. Good Night (((((((DINASAUR))))))) and to all those lovely members of the SHOV I hope you guys have a good day, I might not be on tomorrow night due to board game night with my cousin who I recently just reconnected with but I will be back a some point tuesday at the very latest

Oathbringer is a pretty good book but in my opinion it leaves a bit to be desired in the actual exposition department. A bunch of stuff happens and there isn't as good a job of explaining why these things are important.
Is it just me or is it getting a little solipsistic in here?

*Wakes up and stretches like a cat, clawing up the furniture* Morning -_- .

*Goes to rekindle the Hellfire or die trying.* Anyone who makes a Dark Souls joke, I kill you -_- .
Rest Well Mdodd, and Please Watch over Us...

I agree, not a lot of explanations, but that's on par for Sanderson's cosmere books. You'll get bits and pieces till the very last chapter of the last book. Still, for some reason I didn't quite enjoy Oathbringer as the 2 previous books. Maybe that's because the world and events expanded and changed too much in too short a time? I'm not sure.

فتتبعت السواقي وتسلقت الصخور
هل تحممت بعطره وتنشفت بنور
وشربت الفجر خمراً من كؤوس من أثير

Yeah, honestly, I still really liked it for the most part.

I'm watching Good Omens. I'm on episode two and I like Azriphale and Crowley. Gabriel seems like a dingus.

*Pops in*
He is  :)
I don't think he is in the book at all.

I get that DC. Also Hi man, been awhile. Are you in college, or did I dream that?

I think oathbringer tries to bring in too many perspectives. You just get in the sea of information.

Hi Otlan! Been awhile my werewolf friend.

Also hello person I have yet to meet. Sanderson does tend to do that a lot. It can be a lot.

Also as always. Hi ((((DINA))))

I was in college. I graduated last year. Been faffing about since, more or less.
