Basically most of Sanderson's series take place in the same universe (called the Cosmere). All the books have different gods and magic but the gods are all connected. and there are people who can travel between the worlds (Hoid is a character who appears in every series though with different names).
The traveling and different worlds gets brought up in Stormlight eventually so i think its helpful to know. Thats really all you need to know though. --- "Hope is allowed to be stupid, unwise, and naive." ~Sir Chris ... Copied to Clipboard!

Way of Kings: Dalimar went to the Perrin Aybara school of figuring out your problems, I see. Sometimes you just gotta hammer some stuff.
8-bit: Berserker and Ranger were fun! Kinda quickly forgotten about, tho. Sanctuary: On to Act 3 again! Bosses aren't putting up much of a fight currently, but I did have a bit of a close call in a keystone portal. Pokemon: Challenged Whitney even though I didn't think I was quite ready....AND GOT HER! My rando Nidoran managed to solo Clefairy, and then Quilava managed to break through the Miltank wall. (after Dratini and Kingler went down) WE CAN FINALLY LEAVE GOLDENROD CITY.

Nadesico 26- For The Lady We Will Meet Someday: Well heck, the Ai twist came way outta left for me! ...And that's that! I kinda feel like maybe they shoulda wiped out the ruins? You lose memories, but you get peace, and you get dead folks back. Ah well, I guess. Shipping didn't play out the way I wanted either, but I didn't really expect that either! Was a nice ending despite my gripes. I thought there was a second season, but on closer inspection it looks like just a special! I'll have to watch that sometime....and in the meantime it looks like time to pick a new animoo!
Y'know, the world is a dark and stressful place these days, and sometimes I just need to get away. Anime can be fantastic for that, with shows like Azumanga Daioh and Non Non Biyori that just move at their own pace and don't have major drama to them. Cute girls doing cute things has always been a soft spot for me, but I kinda feel like the anime industry has gone all in on that stuff, churning out endless soulless iterations of the theme and shifting more to the fanservicey side than just a nice time that happens to have girls. I feel like moe slice of life used to have more heart to it than it does now. Hey, y'know what manga I kinda forgot about until recently, and got an anime adaptation in the meantime? ARIA the ANIMATION 1- The City of Miracles...: I can't yet tell if this is a sequel to the manga or an adaptation or a side story or what. (which should tell you how plot-driven it wasn't) In a future where terraformed planets are a thing and everybody has names that start with A for some reason, 15-year-old Akari has come to Neo-Venezia on the planet Aqua. As one would expect, Neo-Venezia is a water city with a lot of gondolas, and that's Akari's calling in life. She and her tsundere buddy Aika are trainees at rival gondola companies, striving to become full Undines. Akari's mentor Alicia is a super yamato nadeshiko type, and Aika has a big ol' crush on her, as does token male Akatsuki. Also each company has a cat as their "president" and mascot, Akari's company having an especially derpy one. And that's all the context I expect you'll need for a good ten episodes at least! Undines are closer to tour guides than taxis, and pretty much every bit I remember from the manga is Akari exploring (or helping a customer to explore) Neo-Venezia and winning everybody over to its slow, pleasant vibe. Like, if this was a place that existed, I would assume that this anime was a product of its tourism office, and then I'd probably keep watching it anyway. I didn't get SUPER far on the manga but greatly enjoyed what I read, and this episode gave me no reason to doubt it'll live up to that feel. It's just...nice. And relaxed. (well, this one perked up for a few minutes after the cat fell in the river and we had to snag him) LP Stardew 44: LP DDLC 7: Oh lol I forgot about (or maybe missed?) the Mon-ika joke! The LPers are making jokes that Monika is bullying Sayori in the secret convos "whoops." Yuri's really winning me over so now I like everybody except probably Monika :\ And the PC. "Humans aren't 2-D creatures. I think you'd know that better than anyone." hmmmMMMMM. On the one hand I am kinda bummed that I have a vague idea what's going on in this game, but on the other hand there's lots of stuff I'd be missing if I didn't! I like Natsuki's beach poem! Once again I thought we were going to get to The Thing, but alas! --- Look at all those chickens O, the land of cloudless day! O, the land of an unclouded sky! ... Copied to Clipboard!

https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/10/best-gift-ever-holiday-special-steam.html CBX: 28/32 Doing fine at the moment. Although, it looks like 3/4 for expected score based on the results so far today. ARIA the animation, I think I watched something like that ages ago, I think? I remember it being kind of interesting though. Anyways, yes, it's the last hurrah for 2018 today with the Holiday Special.

Dropped my computer and it isn't feeling too good. Was starting to think about a new one and now it might be time >_> I think I am gonna be able to back up my stuff though, so at least I have a bit of warning!
WoK: whoa, Gaz PoV MLP 8-23- Sounds of Silence: whoa I DID miss this, thanks. This is indeed quite a good ep! Solid message, good song, good characters, good Fluttershy/AJ interaction. Those two make a pretty dang good team! Also really wasn't expecting an extended Phantom of the Opera reference in the middle of a song! I kinda wanna see more kirin. Lucha 1-25b: Ivelisse/Angelico/Havoc are still bickering. Puma (title) v. Drago (career) is now! I dunno about this, man. A few weird twists that could happen, and I don't want either to lose! But I guess that's the point. Konnan seems to be micced, which is odd. Sick Canadian (Mexican?) Destroyer from Drago, but the ref is bumped. Hernandez runin on Drago, but seems like he was going for Puma....welp, that's it! I feel like a career ender should be clean, and it wasn't quite as amazing as expected before the end.

EEVEE joins the team, and will eventually become Umbreon on this topic's request! I picked up a Switch yesterday- it's pretty much gonna be a Smash Bros box (got the special edition one bundled with a pre-order) but I also was randomly gifted a copy of MarioxRabbids a bit ago that I busted out. MarioxRabbids: Kinda like DW6E, this won't have an official spot in the rotation for now, but will probably get some playtime anyway! This is....about exactly what I expected, and it's quite fun. That piranha plant miniboss destroyed me on my first attempt, so I am under no illusions that it's gonna be easy. Got him the second time though, and now we're on like 1-7.

WoK: well heck if Kalladin isn't the best depiction of depression I've seen in a while. Also geeze, stuff got trippy real quick. Shallan has her own little horror story going, and Kalladin became the wind from the prologue of every wheel of time. My biggest takeaway though was that Shallan has a shardblade? That's gotta be an interesting backstory. So is Kalladin turning one down. Pretty excited to see where both of their arcs take them!

Aria 2- On that Special Day...: It's the Acqua Alta, a yearly phenomenom where the whole town (planet?) floods a bit and everybody just kinda takees the week off. We have to get President Aria some food, but since all the streets are flooded we get lost and wind up at Hime-ya in time for Aika and her even-more-tsundere mentor Akira to get in a fight. Aika defects to Aria! Oh hey, the Aika/Alicia backstory: one day years ago, Aika was having a bad day and Alicia gave her a ride and also put her hair into her now-signature twintails. Turns out Alicia and Akira were childhood friends! Aika winds up going back to Hime-ya and patching things up, so that's nice. Lotsa backstory here! And feet, if you're into that. Was good episode.
