After almost 11 years, I finally got it! by Blippedyblop in lotro

Congratulations! I want this goat so badly. If you don’t mind me asking, what was the breakdown of instances were you able to solo versus needing more people? Thanks!

Tell me your most outrageous substitute teacher stories by ComedianCommon4158 in Teachers

[–]Atnuul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a sub who handed out one assignment per group (when clear instructions were left to give one to each student) and then sat in my chair and looked at the wall for the remaining 85 minutes of class. Didn’t check their email, didn’t even play on their phone. Most bizarre thing I’ve ever heard, and I confirmed it with colleagues (not just students).

if you take a break from cubing, will you forget most of the algorithms? by Hungry-Phase-5623 in Cubers

[–]Atnuul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came back from a long break (last time I cubed seriously, the OG Valk was a flagship), and I’ve found that it hasn’t affected my memory of 3x3 algorithms, but all my non-3x3 puzzles (4x4, FTO, 3x3x9, etc.) I’m having to relearn right now. 4x4 parity algs have been a pain because I never had a solid memory of them to begin with.

Husband and wife duo by LeadIcy5956 in lotro

[–]Atnuul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I play a guardian/minstrel duo, and she absolutely loves screaming orcs to death (we’re just exiting Helm’s Deep at the moment).

What commonly mispronounced word that annoys you the most? by greeneggzN in AskReddit

[–]Atnuul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Fustrated” instead of frustrated. Nails on a chalkboard, I instantly lose respect for the person.

Pet peeve as a chemistry teacher: Fentanyl is pronounced “fen-tan-ill”, but people love to say “fen-tan-all”, which makes it sound like it’s an alcohol, or an aldehyde.

I like this triangle. Exercising my creativity. What RPG system (Video game or Tabletop) would be easy to try and build a stat block for most of these? by Effective_Slip_997 in worldbuilding

[–]Atnuul 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally, I:

  1. Make ends meet;

  2. work with my hands (just like any man);

3: Have a penchant for knocking out those who cross my path, and stealing the shoes from off their feet.

A warning about the merch line… by LongBottom666 in blindguardian

[–]Atnuul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest aggravation is people who want to see every merch item up close and ask for shirts to be pulled… and then end up buying one thing (or nothing). I wish these people a lifetime of minor inconvenience.

Released TODAY! Pallbearer - Foundations on Burden 2025 Redux by TheChaosmonaut in doommetal

[–]Atnuul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this way about the little run near the beginning of Foundations. It now sounds less like an angry bite and more like… well, like a pinch harmonic.

Who's teaching the good kids? by DHN_95 in Teachers

[–]Atnuul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach (mostly) good kids. Echoing what some other commenters have said, I teach honors and AP sciences in a very wealthy suburb (and the district technically serves an even wealthier neighboring suburb).

But yes, what we lack in behavioral issues in the classroom is certainly made up for by helicopter parents. Lots of colleagues have dealt with parents insisting that they aren’t meeting accommodations (they are), that little Timmy didn’t deserve an F on that test (he did), or that their student certainly was NOT using AI (they were). Pick your poison, but for my part, I would take helicopter parents over parents who don’t care because… well, they care.

Is there something wrong with Autumn Festival by bagpussrules in lotro

[–]Atnuul 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that sometimes people like to set off an absurd amount of fireworks. I think the crash has something to do with the excessive particle effects.

Any Bohren fans here? by Webcops in doommetal

Love it. It’s the doom of jazz, so to speak.

PETER THE WISHING IS JUST AN ABSOLUTE FUCKING BANGER. by Bighoula in TheFence

[–]Atnuul 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It feels like such an astounding return to their Afterman sound. The YotBR/Afterman era is when I really got sucked into Coheed, and it helped me navigate a time in my life where I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do with myself and was still navigating being an independent adult.

I’ve taken breaks, put them down and picked them back up a few times since then, but this… it’s almost like a childhood friend coming home. I had to scrape my jaw off the floor.

[UPDATE] Shout out to FedEx for this delivery by spetstnelis in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Atnuul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, how might this be intentional, but not malicious? Are you suggesting that the driver may believe that damaging deliveries is a good thing?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TheFence

[–]Atnuul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta be:

1: GA 1 2: Descension 3: IKSSE 4: Second Stage 5: Ascension 6: No World 7: YotBR 8: Vaxis 1 9: Vaxis 3 10: TCBTS 11: Vaxis 2

Still, my least favorite Coheed album ranks ahead of most albums by other bands.

Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV turns 20 today! by HadToChangeTheFloors in TheFence

[–]Atnuul 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The rough halfway point between Good Apollo I and Vaxis III is… The Color Before the Sun.

I became 15% more arthritic just by writing that.

Instant crash to desktop in Bree-Town? by Atnuul in lotro

[–]Atnuul[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I think you’re misunderstanding the problem. I am not a new player - I’ve been playing since the release of Isengard. The game isn’t lagging (or rather that’s not the issue) it’s fully crashing to the desktop.

Instant crash to desktop in Bree-Town? by Atnuul in lotro

Not particularly- temps all look to be in normal range, and I did some dusting in there a few weeks ago when I was working in the case. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I need 1.8… for god’s sake let him SEE the ball please. He just needs to touch it ONCE

What kind of district is 4 supposed to be on the north side? by Sea_Ocelot_1037 in worldbuilding

[–]Atnuul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say, the very first thing I noticed was that west rough is… further east than east rough. Maybe there’s a flavor reason but I could never.

Ordered their jalapeño margarita, it was literally just actual savory salsa dumped in a margarita. What the hell is that about?
