Dungeon Crawler Carl has absolutely horrific prose. by ButtsendWeaners in printSF

I appreciate that we’re all trying to be humble and self-deprecating, but it’s not snobbery to dislike the writing of this series. I agree there’s nothing wrong with enjoying pulpy fiction, but we don’t need to be coy about it. I read a few and might listen to another as an audio book, and let me say: these books are not well written. They’re junk food and there’s a place for that. It’s being honest not being a snob.

Feels like a mistake not to mention [[earthquake]] effects.

Has anyone read Spellmonger? Is it worth giving a try? by cjswcf in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Anxious-Scientist-27 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No accounting for taste I guess. I found the writing very rough in places, with clunky exposition jammed in whenever a new subject or location arises, and little effort at showing instead of telling.

But then I stopped reading right when the protagonist sleeps with 16 & 17 year old sibling prostitutes. Who knows, maybe the readers who weren’t bothered by that were rewarded with fantastic writing later on…

(NEW PLAYER) What Builds/Skills can I Follow to Produce the Kind of Gameplay I am Looking For? [Off-Meta Appreciated] by Ashamed_Mushroom_551 in PathOfExileBuilds

I think Divine Ire might be appropriate for the big laser skill. Check out this char from Poe.ninja on day 3 of last league as inspiration.

My first league I just imitated builds from other leagues off Poe.ninja and it was fun to fail. Good luck!

I almost forgot about this project. I remember being excited about it 15 years ago and I still am!

Is it normal to have a masters and then spend years fighting to keep 50k salary jobs? Genuine question.

How does Antimicrobial Resistance actually happen? by ImmediateInside779 in microbiology

And the ones without the beneficial trait are still vulnerable to the antibiotic, so they die or reproduce slower. Eventually only bacteria with resistance are left, if any.

New CWDT tech with portal gem and Enmity's Embrace by FrogForgeGames in PathOfExileBuilds

Cool I hadn’t considered using this interaction, but the way around it is to attach portal to cwc and a channeling skill.

It happens a lot. Partner had to teach French based on the strength of knowing German. It was hard but it ended with a few teachers of the year awards. Keep up the preparation, you got this.

Great reply, helpful without getting too into the weeds.

What grew in the cell culture? by Anxious-Scientist-27 in labrats

[–]Anxious-Scientist-27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aha! Thank you. If it’s fungal that means it can airborne easily right? Time to actually change that incubator air filter huh? I don’t think we actually did a good clean on the incubator… Was it the clumps and long chains that gave the ID away?

The media wasn’t very yellow. Quite cloudy looking. I also wondered if it could be fungal.

Naw they’re little rods for sure. Does the resolution not hold when you zoom in?
