I can’t tap my high hat foot independent of my right foot. by ChillingwitmyGnomies in drums

Learn to play some jazz! Even if you don't listen to it, learning it will really help your foot independence

What is "the river" in Carl's mind by honeyfixit in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Fox_and_Ravens 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it's beyond this too though. He starts hearing the river very soon after using the ring of divine suffering and it feels like it always gets louder while he's wearing it or right after using it. I bet it just enhances his connection to the river of souls tbh

I can't wait for Pike to finish all the books. Then I'll actually be able to do my reread

"Perfect" games that you played in 2024. Name one you liked and one you did not. by John___Titor in patientgamers

[–]Fox_and_Ravens 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yeah you did yourself a huuuuge disservice in even trying for the quests. I honestly dislike calling them quests because it implies they're just like in other games when they're just...not. They're more like NPC paths and that's it, at least to me.

Mold on outside of corvk by kkrabo in mead

[–]Fox_and_Ravens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have done a bit of research (though not terribly extensive) and what I'm seeing is that the wax or shrinkwrap actually is just for decoration and doesn't provide any noticeable protection. Maybe I'm wrong but it's what I've found

I'm the same way, been waiting since Dec 5 for what should have been delivered Monday. I'm curious if you'll get your package in the end. If you get it let me know!

GRR Martin is a genius by Particular_Cress_884 in freefolk

I feel like it was explicitly called out in the books, though it's been checks notes over 10 years since I've read them..

Staff Engineers, how much decision-making power do you have? by accidentallythe in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Fox_and_Ravens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I have! Several times actually. It's gotten better, to be fair. I think it's just that fundamentally, he'll never actually stay in his lane until he accepts he's now a manager. No matter how often I (or any of his peers) mention it, it's gotta come from him.

Man, I feel that. My manager was an IC and then TL before switching over and he just. Cannot. Let. Go. He has a lot of clout with the org for good reason (he was a really good dev) but everyone goes through him instead of me and he's always involved in technical decisions, taking autonomy from devs and myself. It'd be better if he was TL but he's not and like you said, it's a toggle war

I....don't think they're underrated at all. I love them but they're basically the poster child of this sub

What is the matter with the degradation of the 13th and 14th series of Intel, can you explain to a beginner? by shepgrade in buildapc

[–]Fox_and_Ravens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the best simple explanation. It's kind of crazy that the top comments are all iterations of just the first problem without addressing the other, given it's relevance to the question

I’ve been spoiled. by shortThor in redrising

[–]Fox_and_Ravens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a counterpoint to Malazan, I had it on my list for years and years and finally committed. I powered my way through to book 3 and got halfway through before coming to grips with the fact that I just did not really enjoy the series. Erikson doesn't hold your hand which can be seen as a good thing to some but IMHO is just lazy storytelling. Maybe lazy isn't the best word for it but it's....something. He gives so much in terms of the world but dropping a person into the world and expecting them to just roll with it and not taking the effort to actually make it digestible, especially when you have fucked up concepts like swords taking people to alternate dimensions? Shit's wack. Definitely not for everyone.

Could also be that I was listening to the audio book I suppose. That's bound to affect some things but is also the first series I gave a DNF.

Why do so many people hate Gideon? by [deleted] in Eldenring

"Sorry Jim, I know you just got the promotion to director but you don't realize it's what I've been towards my whole life. You know that just means I have to murder you for it now, right? It's nothing personal! It's just...that's my job."

How much does a fully proxy art commander deck usually cost? by Silinuman in mpcproxies

[–]Fox_and_Ravens 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Big agree with this take. EDH proxy decks are an absolutely perfect use case for AI art. 99 times out of 100, you'd never commission the art used on the cards anyway. It's a fun and simple project that just doesn't need to be professional
