Well, the solution to that is audiobooks.

I was a snob and didn't consider audiobooks to be 'real' reading until college where I was basically forced to do it because of all the time I spent walking between classes was time I couldn't read.

Turns out it's just as good as, with the only weakness being that it's not as fast. But being able to listen to a story while I walked around or did chores basically changed the game for me. And then I read a study that showed that people have as good a comprehension of audiobooks as they did reading, so there's basically no downside to them unless the narrator is bad.

And Red Rising has a REALLY good audiobook narrator.

I should try this at some point, hopefully my ADD doesn't get in the way of that.

I started listening to audiobooks for the rivers of london series due to the time investment. I can nowadays usually read comics and manga. an audiobook will allow me to multitask

For me, it depends on what I feel like.

The advantage of audiobooks is that you can multitask.

The advantage of reading is speed and usually a better voice.

And dirty fan fiction

Well yeah for some odd reason there is that too.

Veelk · Apr 15, 2017

I'll also dump this fan art here. Because I can.

And a fan song

Some of us here still worship Baevira.

Some people still worship Glycon. Doesn't mean their time hasn't passed.

JadedWriter · Apr 15, 2017

I'm going to assume Glycon was in a show better written than Korra.

Veelk · Apr 15, 2017

Glycon is an snake god from an ancient Macedonian cult.

Like the Cobra cult from Batman Beyond?

Veelk · Apr 15, 2017

Not really. People worshipped an actual, physical snake they believe that a god has incarnated into, for one. For another, Glycon is basically benevolent. He's a fertility god and also protects people from plagues. They're not much into world domination or anything.

JadedWriter · Apr 15, 2017

So what happened when the god they worshipped eventually died of old age or whatever?

It embodies a new body.

JadedWriter · Apr 15, 2017

I guess that's a logical explanation for when the new snake god doesn't look like the old one.

TIL Alan moore worships Glycon because of course he does
he also called it a hoax according to wikipedia

He understands the value of and has the skill to believe in something while understanding it's not real.

Amazon Prime video has all 3 seasons of Avatar and the first 3 seasons of Korra if you're a prime subscriber.

Veelk. I saw you post in that "how R&C lost its edge" thread. Did you watch the entire video? Or did that GoW related comment just trigger your Veelk senses?

I'm so disappointed with how they handled the narrative and tone of that game and the movie. God dang.

Both.

I feel like the R&C guy has a point with his criticism, but I also found it hard to care. Partially because I haven't played the new R&C, partially because I played the old R&C's literal decades ago. So basically I just saw people praising God of War and thought "Well, let's put that out, shall we?"

I can see how it sucks if you were a bigger and more active fan of R&C tho. The new R&C looked painfully unfunny.

Who's to say Kuvira can't fill that need? I pretty much imagine any physical throw down between those two to have the ending result of an Ultimate Surrender match...don't google that at work if you don't know what that is.

Yes, SHIP
