    @North Get the Paperbacks of the remaining books you have left to read. Then when time and finances permits, you can get the remaining ones for collection. The books are awesome, and the later books, especially Books 12-14 are giants. Having the physical copies helps a ton.

     

    Also, before you progress too far (Heck, I would suggest right now, before starting Book 8), read "A New Spring". It's the prequel to The Wheel of Time, and it's seriously awesome. It gives important details like how Moiraine became Aes Sedai and met Lan, the first time the Prophecy of the Dragon Reborn was spoken of in the White Tower etc. It will have a huge impact now, but it's sheen will be a bit lost after the series is over. It's very important for World building, and is an awesome story.

     

    Also is Amazon doing a series on WoT? They are already doing one on LOTR. How much are they putting on their plat? Hope both shows do not flop because of "Too much at once". Also, I thought the TV series were in rights hell. Was Robert Jordan's wife able to take the rights back by any chance?

    I'm not sure, but I think Red Eagle is still involved in some way or the other. It was ridiculous how they were able to extend their rights by airing that crappy pilot with Billy Zane. 

    Fortunately, Amazon has confirmed season 1 as a wrap and already bought season 2. Hoping to see the series launch by Q1/2 2022

    Time to jump on the ppbs soon then, cuz right now the covers and set is fantastic. Thats what happened to Witcher, and now you can't get the old editions and have to buy the netflix tie-in editions instead.

    I'm around 20% on Book 8 right now, though I would like to finish before the end of the month. 

    I just realized, I'm on Book 9 actually... sometimes its hard to keep a track! :bigyellowgrin:

    Quite a few similarities -

    1. Haha I'm 19 now, been reading WoT for a couple months, fantastic stuff.

    2. I downloaded all of them using torrent as well, to read on my kindle.

    3. I'm also on Book 8 right now, albeit this is my first read through of the series. 

     

    I'm hyped for the show, but keeping my expectations low. 

     

    PS. If you do wanna buy 'em, make sure to buy the series well before the show or you'll be stuck with tie-in editions or f**king 'as seen on amazon' stickers and all that nonsense.

    If you're willing to drop the cash, buy them while you can still get the entire matching set. 

     

    Thats partially why I wanna get the paperbacks as well, but I want to save money to get a new phone later this year. 

    The ebooks have "Soon to be an Amazon Series" tag on them already. I bought half on my kindle then wife hijacked mine, so bought book 6,7 & 8 on hers. I buy the next once when I'm about 80% done with the book (at 69% on Book 8 right now)

    I'm really on the fence about buying Wheel of Time in paperback. I've read them on kindle so far (which is also more than fine, I read 90% stuff on kindle)

    I've been hesitant cuz with 15 books and avg price around 500 on amazon, getting the series is gonna run me around 7-8K......

     

    At the same, I'm really loving the series and I kinda want the physical books.

    WoT is one of my favorite high fantasy epics! I was 18-19 and this one guy from the place we used to play CS was talking about it, he had just finished New Spring. I remember downloading all the released ones from bit torrent and reading them. I recently started re-reading everything on my Kindle. I'm on book 8 right now, also turned my wife to it! So many fond memories of WoT! I really hope they get things right in the Amazon series, I treasure these books a lot.

    I'll definitely be getting a paperback set of all the books (as soon as I have a proper bookshelf)

    Not really needed right, you can take the cages in the area (there are 2 cage lifts) before you drop down to where he is... Agree if you open the cage which he is in, he must be killed right there or very first time when you come back to Nexus

    Mephi will not show up if you don't kill him

    3-1 boss done. The most confusing area so far. No big challenges other than navigating. Everything looks the same and I got lost so many times. 

    Boss was lame. I ended up going to the top of the tower and all messages said to kill the person up top so I did that. Maybe that made the boss easier. 

    Mostly just shot arrows behind the pillar. 

    I didn't notice that I had very few heals and was down to the last 5% HP. sh*t was exhilarating as hell. First try babbyyy. 

    Don't forget to kill Yurt in 3-2. He will be in one of the cage lifts you have to take to go to the swamp-like area. If you don't kill him, he'll start murdering NPCs in the nexus and they won't spawn back till your next play through

    My cat is indoors only as well. He just wants to struct around the living room area once he wakes up or sit on the window sill and look at pigeons in the morning. That's the reason for the unwanted alarm :| 

    Mine doesn't shed a lot being an Indie. Do you have Persian or any specific breed?

    Ours are indies as well, but two of them a furrier than the average indie. They shed a lot during the summers and hot weather. Our unwanted alarms are when they decide to do their "tandav nrutya" on the bed while we are sleeping :D

    How do you manage with 3? We have quite a bit of difficulty with the single tabby we have :cry:He wakes us up at 5 am everyday so that he can take a scroll around the house (if the door is closed) and then wants to get back inside at 7am for a snack and immediately wants us to play with him. 


    But bitching aside, adopting him was the best decision we took during the last lockdown.

     

    Leaving OT aside, any reviews for the Mi robo vaccum cleaner? Mopping is a nice to have for me, but not a must have. The Viomi above is out of my budget. I want something that cleans the fine dust and hair in the hard floor. The plan is to eventually get a Dyson that we can use for hard to clean stuff, but right now, want something within the 30k range. 

    Ours are all house cats, they don't go outside. We get the occasional unwanted alarm, but if we want to sleep in, we usually keep the bedroom door closed :) 

     

    I've been looking at the Deebot 950 & T8. T8 was ~44k a few weeks back on amazon, now its at 51k :nerves: But both are supposed to be good with pet hair. And it also has the no mop on carpets feature.

  9. Looks like a good game, will wait for the reviews to be out as its had a bit of a difficult development time. Shame there is no physical release in India.

    New ui looks sh*t

    I'm not sold on it either, maybe hands on might change my opinion. Seems a bit excess. As for the wallpaper based themes - Action Launcher. Been using it for years! It has some very clever shortcuts and gestures which helps keep a single home screen setup with a swipe for the Google page. Was a bit bummed out that Samsung didn't allow gesture based navigation with the older OneUI, but thankfully with my S21U its not a problem, works like a charm

    1970-2000 was a good time to enter but I don't think you will get a chance now because I expect the up-move to continue but in case it corrects again and comes near 2000, you can enter. But remember this is atleast 3-5 year play. You will have to bear the lower circuits in future as well.

     

    Disc: Invested from 800 levels.

    Nice! I got a bit late to the party for Neulandlab... Have kept triggers for 1980. Hopefully there is one correction and I can enter. Others I'm tracking:

    ITC:  <200

    Bajan Finance: <4600

    Reliance: <1900

    ICICI: <590

    M&M: <750

     

    All long term investments. Any other recommendations for long haul (5+ yrs) stocks

    Now that satsuki black phantom won't die. Will keep healing when below 25% ??

    Anyother way to reach the crow(Sparkly who exchanges stufff) apart from 4-1

    You can track back from 4-2 I think, where the Vanguard demon is, come out from there and then enter the tower. I'm shipping my game today... Sorry couldn't help you out :(

    Ally ring kaise milega bhai ? You need full white for that bro

    Yeh, for ally & foe you need pure white char & pure black. Kill black phantoms to go to pure white, invade and kill host to go to pure black. For Foe's ring quest, you need to have killed Yurt as well.

    Il do that with someone else then no problems. Can you help me with character tendency? Need to go to pure white :( youll have to invade me (I think you know how it works) for that stupid ally ring

    Also @Jigsaw Bhai kuch setting hui i litreally upgraded 4-6 soul level by killing that stupid skeleton XD

    Sure, we can do that today. I can also try to run up to the Old Hero, there are a few cheeses to get to him quickly. Where you in World 4 and 1? Old Hero would be quickest imo

    Help friend defeat a boss.  IL dm you around that time. If possible will do thanks man.

    Cool, i've sold mine, but will be shipping tomorrow/day after. So we can get that one done, only problem is the next bosses for me are the Old Hero & the Penetrator... The run up to both of them is a bit tricky...

    Anybody has the PURE BLADESTONE extra? Its needed for a ring , and I can't farm it. Spend an hour already ???

    I farmed it for about an hour with the Providential Ring and got it. Its a pain... didn't really farm any more since I only needed 1 for the ring.

    Ya because i still am not sure if i want to move, even if made an offer today, I would still think multiple times. The family support i have here is tremendous, and same way the way i am support for my folks. Not everyone wants to move out.

    I know what you mean. I also prefer shorter stints abroad. Life has its own perks in India apart from the support from family.

    Nope, you will have options open up soon, if you are good at what you do, they will now want you onsite more then ever then being remote. Give it a bit of time.

    I can already see it, with a few of our customers exploring possibilities of having some portion of the workforce on-site

    It is but if you're looking for higher fd rates, I would suggest Bajaj Finserv. It doesn't have insurance cover but I would personally go with them over such banks in the current scenario. 

    Bajaj Finance is a good buy under 4500 imo.
