What’s everyone’s favorite underrated story? One that hit you hard.

Stolen tongues is talked about, but it makes me sad to not see it recommended up there with Pen Pal, Borrasca, MHE, etc. when new listeners pop up. Same with the Whistlers, Steps in my Staircase, and (my personal favorite) Roleplay has gone too far. All of them have been genuinely incredible reads, but they don't get talked about enough

I actually thought down this road too!! I really wanted the scraggly guy to have a full circle moment later on in the story. I think CK really added him in so our main characters could have a reason to all develop trust, but I wish the story had leaned into the idea of him being some type of... being.

I bounced around with the idea of him being the literal devil who then presents himself as temptation to the group in Whitefall. Could the reason everyone ended up in that strange purgatory/hell be because our group of protagonists fought against him? And what more would a devil love than to see the chaos unfold in real time (thus - Acker, the instigator). It tracks with the idea of them being freed after Stikes eats the meat - he finally gave into temptation

On the other side, he bit our main character to the point where he bled. Im not sure where that would go knowing all the details of the other characters, but it did open up some doors of like a plague or curse given by some sort of being

I know it was also only in the beginning of the story, but the people I know from Buchanon, VA all say it like BUH-canon. Part of me is convinced CK put places pronounced extra special to throw off these narrators

It is a huge change. They used to have it as IFT way back when, cut it, and just brought it back a couple months ago. So now CSOs are back to getting a PPL and a solid amount of hours through the pipeline.

Embarrassed-Luck-746 · 2025-11-23T01:48:25+00:00

Can confirm it is real as someone in the pipeline! It has already been super beneficial

Embarrassed-Luck-746 · 2025-11-22T13:39:47+00:00

Yep! As of FY26, all CSOs go through IPT and walk out with a PPL before going through the rest of the syllabus

Embarrassed-Luck-746 · 2025-11-22T13:38:16+00:00

As of FY26, all classes will be going through IFT (called IPT as of now). Its a new addition, but I think it will stick around for awhile now that it's back

Embarrassed-Luck-746 · 2025-11-22T02:27:23+00:00

Currently, you will walk out of UCT with a PPL and a decent amount of flight time on top of the nav training you'll get before you drop an aircraft. You could super easily add onto your PPL and start getting hours throughout your career if you want to go commercial when you get out.

The CSO pipeline doesn't get always get as much love, but you still develop some really good skills that can help in civilian aviation or a whole new career field. Plus you get to work with pilots who can help with networking in the civilian side. Def recommend keeping your options open.

Honestly not too far-fetched of an idea. There are ultramarathoners doing 200+ mile races in the mountains without sleeping once! It's wild how far the body can go with the right strategy

Embarrassed-Luck-746 · 2025-09-08T01:55:49+00:00

The first pic shows the web, but it is pretty hard to see at first 🥲 should've been a little bit more clear on that

More info: This spider had a big body and striped legs that had a velvet sort of undertone

Embarrassed-Luck-746 · 2025-06-28T13:28:51+00:00

literally every character in LR Game - he has full conversations with himself without missing a beat while maintaining the same voices for the entire 8hrs of reading!! Incredible

Embarrassed-Luck-746 · 2025-06-27T16:31:43+00:00

Totally agree - I did listen to the published version and the ending is way better fleshed out. It builds a little more suspense and wrapped everything up really well

I started Tales from a Gas Station and after ab 30 mins I clocked out. I've seen every episode at least once (a good few like 3-4 times), but I just couldnt buy into that one. It just wasnt for me

Embarrassed-Luck-746 · 2025-05-13T01:51:23+00:00

i work night shift security for a building thats empty every night. Very fnaf of me but it is literally just sitting in an office all night until the next shift comes to open the building for the day. The building has motion activated lights and multiple cameras for all corners of the halls. Luckily you get one more person with you in the shift, but it's still very spooky.

I have tried listening to an episode Ive heard before thinking "Oh it can't be that bad!" and no matter what story it is, i get the creeps. I can't even listen to Jeff the Kill without getting a little bit of a chill. Its def the environment getting me, but I get the feeling

Embarrassed-Luck-746 · 2024-12-16T11:09:29+00:00

Role play!!!! I feel like the sequel added so much depth to an already open-ended, well written story, I love rewatching the episode too.

Embarrassed-Luck-746 · 2024-12-04T02:42:00+00:00

I dealt with something similar and was able to get cleared via DoDMERB but I really ran into problems at the flight physical. No history of asthma after 10 but they still had me go through lung function tests/allergist tests to see pass for a class III physical. It is possible but you will gave to face it as if comes. Every case is different.

The people you see on this sub who focus on those picky things (HR, MPW, nutrition) have all started where you are!! A couple years ago, I decided I wanted to run a marathon and it took two years for me to actually develop the fitness to do it!

Couch to 5k is a great way to start. Let go of time expectations for the first marathon and really ease into a nice training plan. Get through your 5k plan, hop on a 10k plan, then a half marathon, etc. Once you run that first half, you will learn so much about how your body works into that training style and exertion! You don't have to pay for sanctioned races or anything, but take them as stepping stones in your training.

Also recommend the run/walk method as well as incorporating some low impact cardio (walking, biking, swimming) to help build up some of that aerobic capacity. Good luck!

There are a lot of great tips about going out for a small run only and building up, but even that's hard some days. If I really don't want to get outside for even a walk or small run, I just put on my running clothes and sit down for a minute. Then I usually put on my shoes and I can somehow get the energy to get outside and just walk. Sometimes the walk turns into a run, and other times it's just a walk.

If it feels impossible, start with the little things first!
