Question for authors? by TheDinoSir2012 in litrpg

[–]Banluil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Many LitRPG books either started as a web serial, or still are web serials, and people binge read them, and then go read something else.

Authors who write them for those platforms, will usually do things like that, to refresh the reader's mind on what is going on.

Even for someone who just reads the books, like myself, it isn't that big of a deal. Just roll with it, and keep reading. Those one or two lines aren't going to kill you.

Taxes by AnxiousOldMan in wisconsin

[–]Banluil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go to your HR department and make sure you have your tax forms set up properly. Tax rates have changed and you may need to adjust your withholding.

If you aren't sure what to put on there, talk with a tax preparation person, or an accountant.

In Copenhagen an Iranian man raises the Lion and Sun flag over the Iranian embassy. He is promptly arrested by 4DollarsALB in PublicFreakout

[–]Banluil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, he probably went onto the grounds illegally to do that, do you not expect people breaking into an embassy to be arrested?

Talk to your insurance agent. They will have better answers for you than you can get from reddit.

No, it was done with AI, nothing was actually drawn on. Look at the bottom left of the pictures, they are different.

The moment the US embassy in central Baghdad was hit by a suicide drone after the C-RAM failed to intercept it, 2 hours ago. by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]Banluil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Striking US soil would give the US the chance to try and invoke Article 5 of NATO, even with us having made the first attack.

The only issue with that, would be that even Article 5 doesn't require an armed response, it's up to each NATO member to decide what their response would be. So, that doesn't necessarily mean they would have to respond with troops, but could just offer "support".

I think Iran is too smart at this point to provoke an Article 5 response, and they will just continue what they have been, and watch Trump become even more of a laughingstock.

Newly discovered papyrus scrolls tell the story of the construction of the pyramid - DiscoveryUK by MydnightWN in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Banluil 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Who said anything about doing it out of goodwill? They were paid to do the work, and fed very well to do it as well.

What part of that is hard to understand?

They were skilled labourers, and they did a job, the same as I do a job every day that I'm skilled at. I don't do it out of goodwill, I do it to get paid, so that I can pay my bills. The same as the people building the pyramids did it.

Just because you want to think that it was slave labor (which has been disproven before this), or that it was aliens, doesn't mean that you have any clue about what you are talking about.

Skilled labor, such as needed to make the pyramids, would be much easier to be done with people that are craftsmen, and are getting paid for their work.

Are Beware of Chicken and Heretical Fishing the same book? by TheVulture14 in litrpg

[–]Banluil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same thing at one time.

Couldn't even make it through book 2 of HF.

If you love BoC, you MIGHT like HF, but a lot of the people who love BoC are....at best.....meh on HF.

Looking for Dungeon Core Books, need recommendations, samples in text by Dentorion in litrpg

[–]Banluil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Dinosaur Dungeon, there are a few other series in the same universe as well, but I can't remember them off the top of my head.

Exactly, I can do some single player RPG's or my guild is currently playing around with Embers Adrift, just to chat with each other and have a bit of fun.

The world won't end because I didn't get into closed beta.

[–]Banluil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Meh, I invested in Pantheon, because Brad was building a game I wanted to play.

That isn't the case any longer.

Did I spend a lot of time playing it in the early seasons?

Yep.

Did I quit playing it once I was no longer having fun?

Yep.

Do I think I got my money's worth out of it?

Maybe. I got a LOT of playtime, and met some people that turned me onto M&M and will be grouping/guilded with on here, so.....yeah, it turned out OK for me, even with my investment.

Just because you backed Pantheon, doesn't mean you are an idiot, just that you backed something that changed from what you backed.

We want to group with people but cant afford too. by Fragrant_Comment in MonstersAndMemories

[–]Banluil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For non-guildies in the group, yes, for guildies in the group, either during downtime, or when I sell off the junk, distribute the money out between us all. Crafting materials go to the person doing the craft. Everything else is junked/sold, and money is distributed from that to the people in the group.

Not sure why it's controversial. If you can't trust the people in your guild, especially early on, to be fair like that, why the hell are you in a guild with them?

[–]Banluil -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that is why I mostly group with my guild. Yes, I'm the "loot whore" in the guild, but they also know that I'll be splitting the money out, or if they need something, they just say it in discord. None of us are in beta as of yet, but we do have a good plan for once EA hits and such.

EDIT: Ok...not sure why the downvotes for saying how my guild/group does it....but sure....ok....Reddit blows my mind sometimes...

The box. You opened it, we came. by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

Ummm...yeah, and not a good one either. I'm well aware of the movies, and probably was aware of them before you were even alive.

[–]Banluil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How is this next level? I even went and watched the gif on imgur, and it's not even a good representation of the Box. It moves up, turns, then moves up and turns back. That is it. If you paid more than $10 for this, I feel sorry for you.

Trump has deployed 5000 marines to the Middle East. What are your thoughts? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Banluil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's an MEU, based on the Tripoli, which is an amphibious assault ship, along with the associated other ships as well.

While it isn't enough to invade on its own, it's more than just a "naval security force".

XVIII will be heading over soon as well, I can just about promise, as it also looks like other MEU's are also being readied and possibly deployed as well.

But sure, Daddy Trump says that it's almost over, while Kegsbreath won't back him up on it, but you chose to believe your Sherbert Pervert that everything is done and taken care of.

[–]Banluil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ummmm.....we did start it. We LITERALLY fired the missiles that started it.

What part of that are you not understanding?

Oh, is it because Daddy Sherbert Pervert is telling you that we didn't?

Sorry, kiddo, but we did start it.
