‘the best ever at fighting’

he gets crippled by a mage with a stick. he gets killed by a peasant with a pitchfork. he is repeatedly put on the back foot by regular ass dudes.

every person in the setting that isn’t also a witcher or a mage rightfully sees him as an inhuman monster

he’s literally just a human, the myth that witchers are some kind of monster comes from the fact that many of them turned to banditry in order to survive because they had already hunted all the monsters (there are a finite number of monsters in the world since they are extradimensional beings that don’t breed). geralt is constantly starving because he doesn’t have any money because he’s above banditry.

Ask men their salaries. Ask women their salaries. Ask Europeans their salaries. Ask liberals their salaries. Talk about pay with your coworkers. Your boss doesn’t like it, which means it’s based.

Well I like them a lot, but if you’ve made it to Blood of Elves in release order (meaning you’ve read two entire books already) and you still don’t like it, you’re probably not going to. Sapkowski can be a pretty dry writer and if you’re reading the English translation that problem is significantly increased because Sapkowski’s prose in Polish is a selling point.

If you’re stuck at the beginning of Blood of Elves and just don’t like that part specifically but you did like the first two books, then maybe do keep reading, because Blood of Elves marks the point at which Sapkowski shifted from short stories to a real Epic Quest™ and Blood of Elves does take a while to get around to actually setting it up.

If you started with Blood of Elves then no wonder you think the novels suck, start at the beginning lol

The novels are good and Geralt is actually a fantastic character with quite a bit of depth.

what? surely you cant do a surgery without a mask, that’s something we’ve been doing for literally over a hundred years at least

in fact, speaking of a ball rolling down a hill, i have a fantastic problem for these AI bros to work on. see, there’s a big hill and there’s a big rock that’s at the bottom of that hill which id really prefer to be at the top instead. you think they’ll volunteer?

Well that’s just cause lemmy.world is like straight up fash

It’s ok though friend we still love you, read theory though

If there’s any way you can take paypal DM me the info and I got you

It just comes down to the fact that reading is active and listening is passive. If you’re reading a book, the book proceeds at precisely the pace of your understanding. If you have to read a sentence five times to understand it, then you do, and nothing provides any pressure on you because you’re the one in control. If you’re listening to an audiobook and you don’t understand a sentence or lose focus or whatever, it just keeps on plowing ahead. And while it is possible to rewind and listen again, it just can’t possibly deliver information as effectively as reading.

they also do for everyone else, that’s why people who don’t like reading but think that it’s a prestigious activity like them. they can not-listen to an entire book and then be like “oh yeah i read that one”

I just looked up the elephant vs mouse segment. The way the elephants reacted, I kinda feel like they’re being cautious because they recognize a harmless lil animal and don’t want to step on it. Like they behave pretty much exactly how I do when I see a little spider or frog or cricket or something. like “whoa there buddy, you dont wanna be under my feet”
