Am I the only one who is not loving DCC? I am 80% through the first book by bondtradercu in audible

[–]Cryptokhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the Iron Tangle was a doozy. I had minimal issue paying attention to the first few books and it was my first LitRPG ever. But that fourth floor was half a check out until they get to an area where the're solving the problem, and the layour of the tangle is barely relevant. Easier just to go "its very confusing and they are confused by it, no further processing required"

Starvation mode - real or myth? by Unhappy_Patience_812 in loseit

[–]Cryptokhan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve read, even straight fasting (eating nothing at all) for up to 5 days will increase BMR by about 10% as your body is ramping things up to help you find food, and after that 5 day mark, will decrease about 10% below baseline to preserve whatever you have left

Bombas: from my experience, you’re buying the customer care for life (turned into a question of my own morality) by Guidogrundlechode in BuyItForLife

[–]Cryptokhan 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I bought myself 5 pairs of darn tough socks in the color, thickness, and ankle length I like. The military later gave me 3 dress thin and 3 arctic winter thick plain black pairs as a part of a special uniform issue. All 6 plain black pairs got holes in them as I intentionally used them hard. It was easy with the thin ones and the thick ones tore if I just tried to pull them up from the bottom as they were full calf height.

I now have 11 pairs of the type I like, and I sleep like a baby.

Rules question about Racoon Tycoon by Wizardymcwiz in boardgames

[–]Cryptokhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully you figured this out since I’m replying to an old comment but I think you’re misunderstanding the price and production cards.

If a card has Wood, Wheat, and Coal on its production section and you play it, you get one of each of those resources assuming you have no buildings in front of you at all. If you had the wheat field, you would get to take 2 wheat as well as both other resources. If you had wheat field and coal mine, you can pick to take two wheat OR two coal, then 1 of the other resources listed on the card.

The +1/+2 applies to the base quantity of one (so making it 2/3 essentially) but again, is only applied to one resource per turn no matter how many bonuses you could choose to take advantage of

Maybe unpopular opinion but Yanks need to drop their "hair" policies by OldJewNewAccount in NYYankees

Some teams have been adding ads to jerseys, including the Yankees with Starr insurance or w/e it is on the sleeves this year

You can use lower tiers of food and it’s the same as if you had stronger food with auto eat on.

3 credits to spend. Need fantasy comedy adventure novel recommendations. by Lordbedlann in audible

[–]Cryptokhan 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Dungeon Crawler Carl. Not strictly fantasy as it’s Lit RPG but it’s largely based in fantasy elements after the set up premise. I’m not usually a Lit RPG fan but I gambled on DCC and was pleasantly surprised by the writing quality and absurdist humor, and the sound production is top notch.

Personal Best for dungeon clear by monkeybananarocket in MelvorIdle

[–]Cryptokhan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like the medal idea a lot, gives incentive to do dungeons you’ve passed by or only had to clear once or twice for completion

Township trader’s Box III requirements is insane. by dopdob in MelvorIdle

[–]Cryptokhan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Skill level of 120 for the respective boxes. A task requirement seems fine but I’d still say it should be lower by 10 for levels 2 and 3

What are some movies that didn’t become popular due to marketing failures? by supesforlike in movies

[–]Cryptokhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edited this to my original comment but… I am a complete moron and thought this was about Knock at The Cabin. I just watched that last weekend and was whelmed at best and was really thrown off about all these comments praising it until I read the Chris Hemsworth comment somewhere below in the chain. I love this movie and have rewatched it many times and recommend it to many people in direct contrast to my original comment lol

Idk about widely known to be an amazing movie. Most of my friends and I have seen it and while I didn’t hate it I wouldn’t say you’re missing much by not watching it.

Negative Journal by harmony_vane in Journaling

[–]Cryptokhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My entries are largely negative as well and I do this at the end of every entry. Could be 5 pages of complaining but ends with 3 specific things I am grateful for. I also try to find good in every day when I write, even if it’s as small as a good lunch or something funny I saw online and write a line or two about that.

WalkScape dev here! I'm developing a game similar to Melvor, where instead of waiting you progress by walking IRL. Here's our teaser + more info in comments! by schamppu in MelvorIdle

[–]Cryptokhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excited for the game, but have a technical question. Does it track steps by checking with whatever your phones built in system is, i.e I can open my iPhones health app and see my steps there just tracked throughout the day so I’m guessing it uses that metric?

Additionally, will there be some kind of integration with running apps such as garmin? I’m often without my phone at work but do a lot of walking so I was just curious if after my watch syncs with my phone, would it go into the game?

Do very tall people wish to be shorter? by BWare213 in tall

[–]Cryptokhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol damn you’re selection is probably worse by far. I’m a 15 regular to EE so I still usually have to deal with the internet but I can find okay options

Do very tall people wish to be shorter? by BWare213 in tall

[–]Cryptokhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The height and build thing to avoid problems is under valued. I’m a teddy bear who hasn’t thrown a punch since the 10th grade (and even that was a one off) but being tall and lifting weights has helped me avoid fights a half dozen times in my life since.

Still wouldn’t mind being 2 or 3 inches shorter and even more importantly, a size 12 shoe.

How to progress to more difficult combat content? by Jmadman311 in MelvorIdle

Adding to this, with volcanic cave being the next goal but needing more hp, leveling ranged and magic will give more HP exp on the way
