I finally finished it! Hooray!!! Quick thoughts: -Definitely SRD's most satisfying and well written work in a while. Much better than TLC. -Bifalt and Estie are some of the best written characters SRD has created in a while. Again, much better than anyone in TLC (OK, maybe except Stave.) -Really enj...

Great idea! I should have thought of that years ago!-jay

Oh, and ha, oh how I wish I had the skills to map this sucker out!

So far I've been really enjoying Bifalt and Estie's characters. Especially Estie. Definitely two of the more interesting new characters SRD has written about in a long while. The Last Chronicles was such a slog of unmemorable characters. Pretty sure Stave was it. Really hoping these last two chapter...

Apparently a long time. Almost done! Just a couple of chapters left!

I'm still quite amazed that I still remember my password to this thing.

Oh good, I remembered my password.

Shit, I completely forgot that we changed the entire forum interface. Woah, where am I?

Great post!

True, but more likely, I'm just crazy, ha.

Ha! Messing up the girls shouldn't be that hard, right???

Who knows, my Ph.D. is in engineering, not film interpretation. Haha. But that's what I got out of it at least, haha. Definitely a great movie! Glad it won so many oscars! Well deserved!

I doubled checked the GI by searching for simply the word "map" and I do seem to be crazy: https://www.stephenrdonaldson.com/fromtheauthor/gi_view.php?NewWindow=yes&Filter=&all=&any=map&none= The closest I could find is that SRD admits that he's not a visual person in many ...

I understand. I could very well be crazy. Haha.

I finally saw Everything Everywhere All at Once after months of anticipation. It did not disappoint. One of my favorite movies of all time. Hands down. Simply amazing. I love the simple question at the core exploring nihilism. Joy's answer being, if life is meaningless, then just end everything. Whi...

wayfriend wrote: ↑ There was nothing like that in the GI. Just that Donaldson made some maps himself, and that he's not particular about accuracy, only the general sense.

Interesting, thanks for confirming. I must be crazy! I swear I remember reading about that somewhere!
