Maybe a link to Mark's channel would be appropriate 😉

🙏Thank you Brandon. For everything. Especially Hemalurgy.

Thx

It was fun! But you need to put a disclaimer that there is some minor campiness. :)

ty, have to avoid all as im a noob to the BS world. i will finish mistborn book1 before february

😅

It's that pinch of realism that really sells you on it.

Science can look pretty goofy sometimes haha

💯🔥🔥

One foot in science, one foot in fantasy

Even better he is actually trying to make things better for both the creater and the consumer

Its truly inspirational. History in the making thatll ripple through the industry for ages to come.

He is one of the best businessmen ever

Don't forget great teacher too!!! I went to BYU and enrolled in Brando's writing class.

A good business is when the consumer (or fan) pays for something and gets some value for their money, it can be either material value or sentimental value. Brandon Sanderson checks off both.

I know, right? Mind officially blown.

This feels unreal

Era 4 has some wild stuff in it for sure! The crossovers are so intense they are leaking into the real world.

Mormon Mafia yo

I was so confused when I turned on my KZfaq and saw this, it was crazy

Hi, today we're going to look at the science of Chasm Fiends. For this episode we have bred a 10m tall Praying Mantis....

@@bruceh9780 LOL IRL

I'm sure Hoid would love to host

Surely the host would have to be Khriss....

Oh hello other channel I’m subscribed to!

If Mark is a World Hopper, I'd guess Fat Gus was his teacher.

Oh, absolutely. He very clearly follows the golden rule of writing: "Write something that you would want to read." And you can easily pick this up in his writing and in his interviews and lectures as well. He has so much fun with it and in turn makes us as readers have fun with it. Even if you don't care for fantasy, you just have to respect him as an author.

Same!

Tress is also a fantastic ordinary protagonist. No hidden magic powers, princess lineage bs. Just winging it and outplaying everyone with earnest determination and wit to hilarious effect.

@@zachricca4546 Wit? Oh yeah, he was there too.

@@zachricca4546 personally, i thought doug made for a fantastic foil to tress.

@@zakay_ Which Doug? Or all Dougs?

+1. Also hearing the Mark Rober music playing over an official dragonsteel promo at 11:58 really messed with my head, but like in the best way

I mean... I knew Mark's gonna appear as soon as the camera backed out a bit. The golden play button with "Mark Rober" on it kinda gave it away :D

@@D3emonic I didn't notice that until after - I was just cruising along like "Why's he in a workshop?"

@@Avilister Right, makes sense. For me, the room was so out of place considering where his videos usually Are shot so I couldn't help but observe the room. When the camera panned out the KZfaq button caught my attentiont cause I was like... I know Brandon's channel is sucessfull for ther niche it's in, but isn't a golden buttn for like, a milion subs? It would be nice but I don't thing Brandon has that many. So I examined it closely and noticed the name. Now, mind you, I still freaked out when I realised who's joining the video (cause, why else would you shoot it in his place, right?), just a little bit earlier than most I'd guess :D

Agreed!!!

Squirrel knight radiants!

Or maybe a rat instead of a squirrel

Squirrel Mistborn obstacle course

Nutborn!

An awakened squirrel obstacle course

Agreed!!!

Next Sanderson side project: a world that involves obstacle courses for squirrels and jello pools

@@birdyfeederz7940 With Fat Gus as the protagonist.

water? you mean spore? is probably what he said to the editor

He did a pretty good job with Dawnshard in terms of sailing and what not but that wasn’t a full blown swashbuckler.

Considering the amount of research with fighter pilots that went into the skyward books, i don't think "not knowing how to write water" would stop him if he really wanted to

@@birdyfeederz7940 It may be more fair to say that Sando doesn't like writing about water. Its a foreign concept to him. I have a whole soapbox on the topic. This doesn't lessen my enjoyment of Sanderson, rather as a lady of lakes I find it funny.

@@MeMySkirtandI I've never heard about this before. Is your soapbox on the topic in a video you've done? I'd like to hear more

Nerding out and watching like an excited child, seeing what you envisioned become reality in your hands is so endearing. Like "this was in my head. And now it's here! And somebody appreciates my vision! Eeek!"

This!

not the 4 secret books out of nowhere?

@@ConfusedRambutan writing a ton of books? Very sanderson-esk. Collaborating with a scientific KZfaqr? Less Sanderson-esk.

@@kalanittaub2579 fair enough

They went to the same alma mater, so there was probably some comradery when they did the video.

Can 10/10 recommend the book!

I've been watching a lot of Mark Rober videos with my kids, so the workshop setting made me think of him right away.

I came to the comments to mention this, too.

Honor would be proud.

So what kind of Occupational Therapy setup exists using fluidotherapy?

@@danielcreviston9867 It's more of a "preparatory" method to help reduce symptoms in their extremities that limit a person's engagement in daily activities, probably more likely to be seen in a hand therapy clinic. So an example is that, let's say a client has osteoarthrosis in their hands and has pain, stiffness and limited movement, preventing them from using their hands functionally. A session might start with using fluidotherapy using a machine that heats and swirls the particles to help with relaxing the hand, improving movement, and reducing pain, and preparing it for doing an activity in their OT session that is part of a person's daily life that they use their hands for, such as meal preparation or brushing their teeth or something. So it's not a cure for anything but might help a person prepare for a session by reducing symptoms and, hopefully in the long run, the person gained more strength and movement in their hands and adaptations to activities through therapy to make daily activities more manageable. Sorry that was a long explanation. Hopefully it kinda makes sense! I've only recently graduated from my program and have not used fluidotherapy in practice (my interests are more so with autism and mental health than with hands and physical rehabilitation) so this is based on my knowledge from school.

Do you do eBooks at all? I’d be happy to send you 10 bucks for a copy if you don’t want to wait for the library

@@haldalas wow that's really kind of you!! I wouldn't be comfortable taking your money, but I appreciate the offer! I'm fine waiting for now since I need to focus on my board exam and I know that reading this book will completely distract me and take up all my brain energy haha. Since it's a short book, I'm hoping the wait time at the library will go faster than expected and I'll be able to read it in like 2 months after I take my exam! 😄

Just don't fall off the board.

My guess is that pollen wouldn’t work because it’s sticky and even looks spikey under a microscope. Brandon describes the spores as encapsulated so I’m not sure what a real world equivalent would be.

There are some (minor) worldbuilding spoilers from early in the book!

There are no plot spoilers, just some information about the world. For me this wouldn't have taken anything away from the book.
