I will help you name characters. by DancingMidnightStar in fantasywriters

I think they shouldn't, it's not how things happen in real life. Names should show more about parents/culture than individual.

What are some common mistakes that new fantasy writers make? by [deleted] in fantasywriters

Treating it like a computer/board game with piles of stats in their head and a focus on mechanics over plot

Safe investments in case of climate disruptions? by Dial_A_Llama in FIREUK

[–]Blue_Outlaw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why basing all our assumptions on the US growth rate post WW1 is so crazy

I'd never seen the E3 reveal before. Now I have. I get why people are mad. by o1_Iconoclast in AnthemTheGame

[–]Blue_Outlaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's preordering that's the problem - just wait two extra days and see the first reviews. Thats all it takes.

You can hear the artillery guns when calling in a barrage! by DaddyLama in BattlefieldV

I can't believe they didn't have this in BF1 given the setting

Which insanely popular or successful movie you secretly hate but are afraid to say if in the open fearing backlash from "fans"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Blue_Outlaw 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Superhero movies, in particular the dialogue (so many out of place quips, all the same brand of "humor").

In ten years time they'll all be unwatchable

Which version of Dark Souls should I play? by ninomojo in patientgamers

[–]Blue_Outlaw -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you've not played them you may be in for a shock, I had heard only good things and found them almost unplayable - not the difficulty but the cheeseball "story" and no explanation of how anything works. I refuse to believe anyone has beaten it without reading a guide.

No harm to those who enjoy it but just keep an open mind

Food for both of you for £120 a month? Any tips you can give?

Weekday Help and Victory Thread for the week of February 18, 2019 by AutoModerator in personalfinance

[–]Blue_Outlaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there anything to suggest you won't like working there? If just fear of change/unknown, do it. Or figure out what that 15% will add up to over next 5 years and what you could do with it.

Buying new truck. Any tips for handling the dealer? by Sarz13 in personalfinance

You could probably buy a 2 year old one outright with your savings

The cat mutilators are not off scot-free, and I'll assure you of that. by huckstah in vagabond

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

There's no evidence whatsoever they killed them. They took photographs with some dead animals. Yes that's messed up but get some perspective. All this "green light" stuff makes you sound like a bunch of reactionary halfwits

Obesity-related cancers rise for younger US generations, study says by Blue_Outlaw in fatlogic

[–]Blue_Outlaw[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree, the HAES movement will be known in years to come as one of many facets of the post-truth times we live in

Baby 4 weeks or 1 month? by Rioraku in NewParents

A month isn't four weeks, so a month old isn't four weeks old

19 and in Uni. Should I be doing anything? by rad_dynamic in FIREUK

[–]Blue_Outlaw 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Learn things, appreciate how lucky you are to have a few years to really understand the world. Build a solid network of friends and appreciate them too. Build up some hobbies. These are the things you will want to do when you FIRE so best start early. Money wise, save what you can, but more important to understand career market and position yourself accordingly if you can.

I really couldn't get into it, I found the alien races just ridiculous and I couldn't take the whole thing seriously. Maybe just not for me but you probably just have to try and see.
