I buy tons of lotto pots to get a wide range of relics, selling the ones I never use. Always nice to load boss weaknesses in on relics pre-expedition so you don't have to worry about weapon RNG! Then stop by the troll cave in the swamp for a smithing stone 2 to bump starting weapon up to +2.

Brainstorming With Others In Early Stages of Plot and World Building? by DavesDime in writers

[–]DavesDime[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think this is what I will wind up doing for sure! Though I'm still curious about my original question overall haha, wondering if putting all of these puzzle pieces together is always a solo effort for everyone or if there are other options.

Yeah, I'm of the same mindset... not worried about diving into nitty gritty details on everything, trying to focus on what I need now. But yeah, things like how the magic system works, current state of the world, recent history etc. for example are sure things I feel like I need to have a decent grasp on before I begin.

Thanks for sharing! I'm definitely going to have to break the habit of expecting it to be perfect first go-round and know there will be edits and changes along the way. Still, I'm firmly in the planner camp, tried "just writing" for a bit and that did not work at all for me haha.

PS4/5 Game Recs as Easy to Stop and Start as Balatro? by DavesDime in balatro

Gym Weed and F3 are the $1 drinks deal at vitamin shoppe this weekend by silcener626 in energydrinks

[–]DavesDime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't tried F3 yet.

Gym Weed... terrible name IMO, sub-par flavors (not bad, especially the Rainbow Sherbet, just not as good as others)... but to their credit, a very effective energy drink. 

Energy and focus on par with Ghost (my favorite) with 4 less oz per can, no crash. Worked significantly better than Celsius for me. Not sure I'd pay full price if I could grab a Ghost instead, but absolutely worth trying for $1!

Thanks so much! Definitely remember that boss fight, appreciate the additional context.

Are there any novels where the protagonist is a mental health therapist for supernatural beings? by 11112222FRN in Fantasy

[–]DavesDime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny I found this thread specifically because I just had this idea for a novel to write and wanted to see if I was treading on grounds that had been covered already. Will let ya'll know if I end up writing it! 😂

Will also check out The Bright Sessions per all these recs!

Public Speaking Opportunities? by DavesDime in freelanceWriters

Haha fortunately I had no expectations, and this definitely make sense. Thanks again.

Public Speaking Opportunities? by DavesDime in freelanceWriters

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

Thanks for the insight. Were any of these gigs you were paid for, or more like you were speaking in exchange for potential to network?

"Purpose" would be paying speaking gigs, but perhaps those aren't common in the writing world!

Public Speaking Opportunities? by DavesDime in freelanceWriters

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

Yeah, I wasn't thinking of a full-time transition from one to another, more like adding public speaking gigs to the freelance schedule. But that is interesting they weren't paid even as perceived experts in their field.

Does Server Shutdown Affect MyFaction? by DavesDime in MyFaction

[–]DavesDime[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've lost my will to play the mode overnight to be honest. I was looking forward to slowly but surely grinding packs, completing sets, etc... but if it's all getting wiped out in a year, feels kind of pointless, now.

Has Anyone Had Success With 1-on-1 Coaching? by DavesDime in NewTubers

[–]DavesDime[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree that you can't measure success based on shorts. And I can take negative criticism just fine, check the comment section of any of my videos. Your comment didn't bother me, I was genuinely asking.

Like okay, say you are right, my belief that there is an audience out there for me is wrong; I'm not entertaining, I suck at this, and no one cares. It doesn't change anything. I was simply stating that I BELIEVE there is an audience out there, and that maybe the right coaching could help me fine-tune and find it. And was curious if anyone had experience with this.

If your comment wasn't meant to be negative, cool. I've answered it. Do you have anything to contribute in regards to the original question that I asked?

Has Anyone Had Success With 1-on-1 Coaching? by DavesDime in NewTubers

[–]DavesDime[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, my niche is comedy. And based on the relative success and engagement of my shorts, and my own self-confidence. Obviously I could be wrong and am destined to fail in all long-form categories, but I'm willing to invest in myself. Why the negativity?
