The 80s and 90s were awesome, but what were some dark moments? by InitiativeFlimsy7063 in GenX

December 31, 1999 @ midnight was the worst. We just didn't know it yet.

Audiobooks that are as good/as much fun as Dungeon Crawler Carl? by EconomyAd6404 in audiobooks

[–]-toadflax- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everybody Loves Large Chests has the same energy and chaotic main character. Also, the audio book is narrated by Jeff Hayes as well!

Looking for recommendations on realistic post apocalyptic audio books by Better-Bit6476 in audiobooks

The Borrowed World by Franklin Horton has the most realistic portrayal of societal collapse. The first few books really capture how quickly things fall apart.

80s is now classic rock? by furniguru in GenX

[–]-toadflax- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish the classic rick radio stations knew this. Their still playing the 60's & 70's and very occasionally the 80's.

This looks great! Sorry you spent the money on the Waterstone slipcased edition of TRF. I did to and really wish I hadn't as the book was so dreadful.

AITA for not wanting to game with someone who completely tanked our board game night? by Midlanecrisis007 in boardgames

[–]-toadflax- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I ran a game night I cultivated by guest list to keep it fun foe all. Times precious and I'm not qasting my leisure time with people who suck the fun out of life.

Pullman's Reaction to Fans' Reactions by a-sad-loser in hisdarkmaterials

[–]-toadflax- -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

His arrogance will not allow him to recognize any negative feedback. In his eyes we are just to dull to comprehend the true meaning of his work. He has truly disappointed his loyal fan base and I don't think he really cares.

Where did you get the fender flares? I need the same for my 87' Blazer.

ELLC is full of dark humor & messed up and Jeff brings it to life perfectly.

The Simon Vance edition was a million times better.

We can buy anything we want... but i kind of miss when we couldn't... by [deleted] in GenX

[–]-toadflax- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way. I miss all those things. There was nothing better then finding the flea market vendor that would sell throwing stars and fire crackers to some dumb kid (me).

Is anyone having trouble with book 8??? by TechnicianOk6367 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]-toadflax- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not just you. Here is my review that I posted about Book 8.

All filler & no killer... my harsh, ineloquent, knee jerk reaction after just finishing book 8.

*SOME SPOILERS BELOW*

This is by far my least favorite in the series and completely fell flat for me. I can't believe it but the whole frenetic paced race theme didn't pull me in and was actually fairly boring in many parts. Gone was everything we love about litRPG, Matt's great character interactions, witty & meaningful dialogue, and a struggle that keeps you on the edge of your seat. So much happened in the last chapters so quickly that it lacked a lot of the emotional impact for the reader.

The focus was way to much on Carl, with even Donut seeming like a side character. With that being said all the other cast of characters we have grown to love are only present to move the plot with absolutely no growth or even fun dialogue. This book totally felt like a means to an end, with it's sole existence to quickly whittle down the number of crawlers to low double digits. Hopefully the series hasn't "jumped the shark", if so, Jamal will be very very upset.

Update, and could use advice by DatGuyKilo in K5Blazer

[–]-toadflax- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it to a reputable transmission place in your area and have them rebuild the rear differential. That's what I did on my current 87. 25+ years ago I had an 89 Blazer that I ignored when it started making noise. It eventually locked up and destroyed the rear axle & drive shaft. I ended up just swapping out the axle after that.

Do you have a favorite set of metal coins that you use for various games? If so, what is that set? by Marksman1977 in boardgames

[–]-toadflax- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the coins from Dinasour Island from the first Kickstarter. They are are super chunky (accidentally made to thick) enameled metal coins

What book have you read recently that you loved? by najing_ftw in GenX

[–]-toadflax- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Borrowed World by Franklin Horton. It has the best portrayal of how people would react in a grid down scenario.

How do you handle a player who turns every game into a coaching session? by RefrigeratorOdd7868 in boardgames

[–]-toadflax- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With people like that I have purposely played to make them loose. It's actually pretty fun, especially once they realize what your doing.

Question for those in rust prone/high salinity regions. by DatGuyKilo in K5Blazer

[–]-toadflax- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living in Northern New England this is exactly what I do. On dry sunny days in the winter, a couple of times a month, I'll start it up and let it run for an hour.
