thank you very much!

also: ha! i’m doing the same thing! currently at book 2 ;)

you probably already know this, but for anyone else:

The Cosmere Series (of which the Mistborn Saga is a part of) does heavily feature Sci-Fi as well as post-apocalypse themes alongside (mostly) fantasy (Sci-Fi: the sunlit man, tress of the emerald sea; post-apocalypse: Stormlight Archives, Yumi And The Nightmare Painter), which made me think OP was talking about this series specifically.

In some of the other books it is mentioned that all of the powers originally came from a being called Adonalsium (basically God). what fuels all these manifestations of powers is called Investiture. Each Shard of Adonalsium manifests different Powers, Allomancy is just one of them.

so it’s a unique mix of classic fantasy, sci-fi, and post-apocalypse genres in a single gigantic saga, in which the sci-fi and post-apocalypse themes are intentionally kept vague and in the background.

highly recommend all of the other books!

they are great in their own right, and also give a LOT of extra bits and peaces of the overall lore!

what’s best about the series is, as you’ve already explained, the “hard-fantasy/sci-fi” approach to powers: all power requires some kind of source, everything comes from something.

best to do the Stormlight Archives after Mistborn (either order works), then the rest; order doesn’t really matter, although i recommend Tress of the emerald Sea and The Sunlit Man to be read last, because they contain a lot of sci-fi lore, which is best enjoyed last (imho)

also: Stormlight Archives Book 5 is coming relatively soon, i think it’s december?

aber “DU”, da geht noch was!

I’d say it’s worth a watch!

kinda gives a different perspective on the world it’s set in (until the end, where it gets very “the boys”-like, but not in a bad way)

pretty sure ATM9 recommended minimum RAM is 10GB…i have it at 12GB.

but i also run it at about 100fps and view distance set around 16 with shaders…

in our party it was a druid… don’t think she ever hooked up with anything with fewer than 6 extremities…

pretty sure they weren’t talking about smart phones exclusively:

mobile device ≠ smart phone

could be anything from smart watches, to portable gaming, to health trackers/monitors, baby monitors, etc.

when you add everything up, it’s probably somewhere around 75-85%

although i tried to search for a better number than a guesstimate and…yeah that’s borderline impossible; all the results get spammed with smart phone OS numbers and google thinks it’s smart to ignore search parameters…

maybe someone with better google-fu can get a better number: i just took the average smart phone number and added a couple percent on top.

99% is an exaggeration, but 75-85% sounds about right!

especially once you factor in things like raspberries and other small IoT devices, which could reasonably fall under “mobile” devices…but then the definition of “mobile” gets murky…

it’s…factual, tho?

do you not want to be called human either?

what do you prefer? dog?

mistborn saga, right?

pretty sure most men (myself included) find beards just easier to deal with than daily shaves…daily shaving makes my skin unhappy
