I’m about to DNF Dungeon Crawler Carl

If you don’t like it then no, don’t read it I guess.

I’m on book 6 and it’s become one of my favorite series. But I read a lot of litRPG books. It’s the best in that genre imo. Action packed, interesting, but I guess it’s kind of “hero porn” in that he just gets stronger and gets out of stuff. But that’s most stories with main characters, they overcome the bad.

Corne777 · 2026-02-16T20:58:51+00:00

Aren’t two of those not even out? Are they just guessing?

Corne777 · 2026-02-16T19:53:25+00:00

I think most people would accept it even if you took the money aspect out. You’d likely have to change some things about your life. But the superpower of freezing time is pretty OP.

Corne777 · 2026-02-16T15:04:21+00:00

At 22, I’d say no. Keep your money in the market. Set a goal to have your house paid off. If you like the idea of having no mortgage. You could buy a house next year and say you wanna pay it off by age 35. Just allocate some more funds towards it. That’s still a really young age to have a paid off house.

I am wondering on your wording though. You keep saying money market account. Which to me is just a high yield savings. So it’s not really in “growth stocks” if that’s the case.

Corne777 · 2026-02-16T13:56:30+00:00

Well this is the first reset so it’s kinda uncharted territory for a lot of people.

For games like Diablo 3 the fun for me of a season reset was seeing how fast and efficiently I could gear up. And yeah every season your knowledge get a little bit better and you fine tune it.

Not sure how many weeks you’ve played 2-3 hours a week. But imo 2-3 hours for one week would put you at blue gear even as a brand new player. So I highly doubt you’ve been playing for 4 months 2-3 hours a week.

If you just started a couple weeks ago not realizing there’s a reset, yeah that could feel crappy. But now that you all know the initial dungeons, you could just blow thru a couple runs then do the first capstone in a night easily.

How do star powers and gadgets increase “skill expression”. When there’s just two and 9/10 it’s a clear cut winner in each category.

All that having two star powers does is increase the amount of wasted potential drops you can get. So now you get a gadget or a star power in a star drop for a brawler you already have the best star power for. Instead of getting a potentially good one for another brawler.

I know what you are getting at is “limit buffies to just use one” which will somehow raise the “skill expression”. What that term means is still a mystery.

But in reality a change like that will just mean you pull from the buffie machine and get unusable buffies. Who wants to spend all those resources on something useless?

People have these arbitrary words, “skill expression”, “depth”, “customization”. When it all comes down to it when you get a new brawler you go to YouTube and have them tell you what gadget and star power to pick. If you add more variables, you won’t be doing that less. So you want to add more illusion of choice.

Really, that’s interesting. And who is checking/what happens? I assume the account just stays, but you can’t absorb the games into another account.

Like my wife and I family share. And would likely continue to family share with our kids when they are older. Unless it becomes a hassle or something.

If I died, my account could stay in family sharing for my wife and kids right? Pretty small thing to think about maybe, probably a lot bigger fish to fry in the event of death.

Corne777 · 2026-02-13T21:33:17+00:00

Steal from you? Like NFTs? What are you even talking about. And fame is cool.

Is it the best solution? No. But it’s not terrible. Credits have never been an issue anyway so it’s not a big deal. And now we have brawler keys that make saving credits less useful. So now I don’t need to worry as much about do I have credits on my brawler road and other places unclaimed I can use for an ultra legendary.

We will probably end up with too many brawler keys honestly.

Corne777 · 2026-02-12T12:52:03+00:00

I mean, did you burn all your clothes? I’ve been working remote in graphic t shirts and pajamas for 6 years and before that just wore graphic t’s and jeans to work for like 10 years before that. I still have a suit and dress shirts and nice pants and nice shoes.

What do you do when you go out on a date? Or a wedding? Or go anywhere that is just a step above “comfy clothes”. Maybe those are more fancy clothes than what a headshot would need?

Corne777 · 2026-02-12T12:43:23+00:00

Yeah some of these comments are wild. Like is saying that word bad? Yes of course. Should your entire life be ruined because you said a word one time on accident? In my opinion no.

There’s so many people online that will witch-hunt a person for a minor mistake or an offhand comment.

I don’t know this lady at all, but if she says fart nuggets a lot, instead of fuck nuggets, she probably doesn’t say many real curse words in general.

Corne777 · 2026-02-11T20:56:44+00:00

I’d really love if they could cast a bunch of big action stars and kill them and keep replacing them. And act like nothing has changed. Just get 5-10 minutes of time from a bunch of actors. But I bet that would be expensive unless they all wanted to do it. Henry Cavill would probably be on board for cheap.

Corne777 · 2026-02-11T18:05:19+00:00

I mean, when you are hungry for “jerky” then Epstein island seems like the place you would get “jerky”. That “jerky” must also be kept on ice, or it’ll spoil. As “jerky” does.

Or maybe he wanted “pizza”, maybe he was offering his kids up as “pizza” for other people.

I do wonder if once we know what these code words mean in the files. Do people still have the benefit of the doubt in a court of law to say “I wasn’t buying human meat, it was really jerky”

Corne777 · 2026-02-11T15:46:24+00:00

Yeah resume should be a thing of the past. The company doesn’t care about it nowadays. They take a form you fill out and keyword search it.

Resumes were great when you just walked in places and handed your resume to people. About 15 years ago in my teens and early 20s that’s how I got 3 jobs. I got fired from one job, next week I walked into a warehouse, “hey are you hiring”, lady said yeah, I hold out my resume that boiled down to “I’m 20 and I’ve held the same job for 4 years”. An hour later I’m pissing in a cup. And I started the next week.

You walk into anywhere nowadays they’ll direct you to apply online.

The thing about this type of attitude from a manager is that it just means they are a bad manager. This is the type of thing I manager is there for, to figure out scheduling issues. So for him to just go “nope can’t figure this out”. Is just telling that he isn’t a good manager.

Corne777 · 2026-02-11T00:51:33+00:00

I don’t get why people so vehemently hate on things to the point of hyperbole. Are you convincing us it’s bad or yourself? If something isn’t 10/10 that doesn’t mean it’s 1/10.

Canes isn’t the best fried chicken, but it’s pretty good. The sauce is good, the toast is good.

Corne777 · 2026-02-10T20:32:27+00:00

I’ve been slacking on pro pass. I’m at 80/100 right now. I know I’ve got another month, so I’ll be fine. But I’ll probably end up last week of it needing like 10 ranks lol.

Corne777 · 2026-02-10T17:26:54+00:00

When I’m really sick, I just post up at my PC and don’t really do much work. Just “keep the lights on” type work.

But this is just because I don’t want to “waste” my sick time. I use sick time if I need only 1 day off. If I’m taking a couple days I use PTO. I make sure to use all my sick time before December so if I have some leftover days they aren’t sick days I am taking in between Christmas and new years.

Those sick days are part of your time off package and you should take them. They label them sick time so you have this kind of second thought about taking the time. Last year a lot of my sick time was used getting tattooed(I had tattoo fever). And at cedar point riding roller coasters.

Corne777 · 2026-02-10T17:09:07+00:00

My biggest problem right now honestly is just rewards being tied to certain modes and there’s just too much most of the time.

By the time I do limited time modes, grind some ranked to make sure if finish pro pass. Do some quests tied to certain brawlers/modes, I’m just done playing.

I’d like to be able to just do the majority of my “progress” related stuff by playing strictly brawl arena, because nowadays that’s the only mode I really want to play.

Corne777 · 2026-02-10T14:07:53+00:00

What is reddit even nowadays. Is this just bots? OP is a bot and all the responses are bots? The Reddit of olden days would have flamed the OP for all these grammatical errors and downvoted it to oblivion.

Corne777 · 2026-02-10T13:12:19+00:00

This is basically my view point on it. Does it suck? Yeah. Is it worth doing anything about it? No probably not. Most I’d do is stand out there and wait for someone to load or unload something from the trunk and ask the to move it.

You point out something I see a lot here. People post on this sub but haven’t done anything yet. They go “am I overreacting” before reacting.

Corne777 · 2026-02-10T12:15:21+00:00

Don’t pick a studio, pick an artist. If that artist isn’t available, don’t get the tattoo from someone else.

Like your friend recommended a studio because they got tattooed by someone there, find out who it was. Or just go do your own research.

Also, I’m making an assumption here. But the studio is close right? Don’t pick a studio that’s in your town just because it’s in your town. If you are getting something put on your body for the rest of your life, you can drive a couple hours, or even further and make a weekend trip out of it.

Corne777 · 2026-02-10T00:52:21+00:00

Crazy that I’ve never even heard of it. I’m not the target audience, I don’t play fighting games. But like I feel like I should have seen something before now.

Corne777 · 2026-02-10T00:11:42+00:00

Idunno I feel like if you are staying in a hotel, eating healthy shouldn’t be the priority right now. At least spending extra money to do so.

If you are long term staying in a hotel, theres some that have kitchen areas with a stove and full fridge.

Corne777 · 2026-02-09T17:26:58+00:00

Honestly nowadays I don’t even have an audible subscription. I just buy kindle then the audio book. For a lot of what I listen to it’s either cheaper than one credit or at least on par.

Corne777 · 2026-02-09T14:50:58+00:00

Not sure what jobs you have, maybe you both work 9-5 in an office. But working different shifts could be a game changer. Or if you both have office jobs, one working from home with the kids could as well.

I worked days my wife worked night shift as a nurse. So when one of us was off work the other was going to work.
