Why the Brandon Sanderson hype in discussions within the Fantasy reader community?

I'll just give my anecdotal opinion. If it matters, here's some of my rather dull background with respect to my interest in Sanderson's content. I mainly know of Sanderson from his thoroughly enjoyable Youtube lectures on fantasy writing from the college classes that he teaches and publicly shares. I think he's a pretty good lecturer. … Continue reading Why the Brandon Sanderson hype in discussions within the Fantasy reader community?

I did a Luck-Stat only playthrough for my 7th full playthrough of Nocturne, here’s the changes I noticed.

I want to be fully clear; I was able to max Luck by level 42. It's my 7th playthrough of Nocturne from the point of view of having played 4 full playthroughs of Nocturne in its PS2 form on my 60 GB PS3 back in the early 2010s and my third playthrough of the PS4 version of the HD Remaster. I had to level up vitality for the hospital to clear the hospital dungeon faster, but after that I only ever increased Luck and relied upon NG+ bonuses of higher level demons to get through the game. So, by level 42, Demi-fiend had a maxed out Luck Stat.

Super Crooks is a painful reminder that Americans don’t know what they want as entertainment. Spoilers for this terribly boring story will follow. Spoilers also for every series that will be mentioned in this article, because I just can’t help but compare it to other series.

Why Do So Many Youtubers Criticize RWBY?

It probably isn’t any Anti-LGBT Hate. It may not be solely motivated by frustration with or antagonism towards CRWBY. It may not have anything to do with being an Indie Web Series. It may not just be people jumping on a bandwagon of hate. The reason could be far simpler than that.
