Finished this last night! A delightful and intriguing start to what looks to be a pretty incredible series, and very much my type of fantasy comfort reading. See: con women, politics, city racked with inequality, competing faiths and magic systems, great world-building, plots that go in unexpected directions, casual queer folks….

If you were looking for a read-alike for the Daevabad trilogy, you need to look at this one.

I also just read this book and I highly recommend! I loved it! And there’s a charming masked outlaw who goes by The Rook who is a fascinating character

AH Stream Today + RH

Jack and Michael took some time to talk to us about the RH situation before switching to games during today’s livestream (10/14/20). I’m sure the vod will be up later, but i’ll sum it up as best I can

  • They will be purging their archives of content with Ryan in it. This is a massive undertaking but they support this idea and are working on it. Obviously this will make a significant dent in their video backlog.
  • They believe the victims completely. When it was first coming out, they didn’t want to, but it became clear that it wasn’t faked. Jack called Ryan a monster.
  • They will not be bringing up Ryan Haywood ever again. Do not expect more statements from them.
  • They’ve clearly been hit very hard by this. Jack had a constant warble to his voice and could barely start talking. Michael was a bit more composed but had clearly been crying a lot and was visibly affected.
  • Everyone in the AH office took the week off, and in some ways this wasn’t enough but they also want the distraction of making videos again. It may take some more adjusting.
  • There will be no Off Topic tomorrow; instead there will be a Zelda stream with Michael and Matt.
  • Geoff will not be making a statement. Jack’s been talking to him and he’s been hurting. Please do not contact Geoff about it.
  • Please do not harass Ryan’s family.
  • If you are attacking victims or AH or any others, or defending Ryan, because you don’t want to believe Ryan was bad or whatever, then they want you to move on. Leave people alone and don’t attack others. Ryan is gone and he’s not coming back, and ideally he will never surface again (Michael’s approximate words).
  • If you have any stories, now, then, or future, send them to conduct@roosterteeth.com

In lighter news, Extra Life will be a whole week instead of a 24 hour stream due to COVID-19! November 7 thru November 14 during “normal” hours. There will be four poster variants (Jack showed one of the posters, it’s moonballs against a paint-splattered target with a cloud shaped like the extra life symbol in the sky. it’s screenprinted and very pretty!)

Today is my last day in retail sales. I’ve done retail for so many years I can’t believe it’s finally almost over. I’m still doing customer service but I’ll be doing more of the backend/admin portion of it. Excited to start this new job next week and hopefully I can start my masters degree next year and finally get out of retail in general.

please listen to me:

if you were subbed to ryan on twitch, gave him bits, donated to him in any way, and you're blaming yourself for things after having found out this new information on where those funds went -

YOU ARE NOT TO BLAME. YOU DID NOTHING WRONG. YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE HELPING HIM PUT HIS KIDS THROUGH COLLEGE. YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE DOING A GOOD THING.

all that matters is that, if you're disgusted with his actions, that you unsubscribe from his twitch and never give him a single cent after this.
