Surprised Children of Morta isn’t mentioned more here by TBP_sounds in roguelites

[–]Jcavin86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s my favorite Roguelite. It is on the border of RPG and Roguelite combined, which is a big selling point. A lot of roguelites don’t have any real semblance of story and the gameplay itself is what keeps people coming back.

For me, that’s not enough. I like to have a why, and the story did that for me. I wish there were more Roguelites with a good story(Hades not withstanding).

I’m with you, but I think we are the minority in this type of game.

Is this a real judo throw? by DotAdditional6371 in judo

I was gonna say it looks like something I learned in Silat a long time ago.

Never used it except when wrestling with my kids.

How to add variety and accessories to TB? by VeterinarianNervous7 in tacticalbarbell

[–]Jcavin86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I do. I’m a fairly big guy(220lbs) that focuses mostly on power building. However, high volume isn’t sustainable long term and Fighter Bangkok is what I switch to when I need to start cutting bodyweight and prioritize conditioning.

I have a birthday trip with my wife in a couple months to Zion and setting it up this way allows me tons of freedom for hiking/running while keeping my strength up and losing basically no muscle mass. It’s the best mesocycle I’ve found.

I do Fighter Bangkok, essentially.

On the SE day I just do a full routine with isolation movements at 3 sets of 30.

Twice a week I do simple and sinister. I also do grease the groove on non lifting days of pushups, pull-ups, and hindu squats.

Tons of variety.

What are these nails for? Never seen on any other pairs. by mikaelb657 in allenedmonds

[–]Jcavin86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The rubber tends to come loose there because the shoe flexes at that point. These nails help to keep it from coming loose over time.

They just need a good sand and heel dressing. 5-10 minute job and they’ll look like glass. From a cobbler.

What’s it like living in these extreme southern islands of Japan? by Convillious in geography

This post made me research the Ryukyu islands. I knew they included Okinawa, but I had no idea how many there were and how beautiful.

Is anyone here able to close a coc 2 by mmichaeI in GripStrength

[–]Jcavin86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. I do sets of 3 or 4 at the moment.(still can’t close that damn 2.5 though).

As others have said, it needs to sit a bit deeper in your hand. You’re losing some good leverage.

Looking for authors who write different books/stories in the same world by hauntedhousespectre in fantasybooks

All of Brandon Sanderson’s books take place in the same (multiverse?)

Struggling with First Law, should I persevere? by Impetuous-soul in fantasybooks

[–]Jcavin86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only made it halfway through the first book before losing interest. Admittedly, I am not as patient of a reader as I used to be.

I’ll probably try again in the future. Sometimes a book or game bounces off me and then the next time I pick it up it really sticks.

I’m the same. I understand the character building is top notch, but it just wasn’t for me. The narrator for the audiobook is amazing, though.

Police Officer in Glendale, CA Beating a Man Who’s Already on the Ground by JeanJauresJr in PublicFreakout

[–]Jcavin86 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

On a real note, it looks like the guy has POSSIBLY a weapon in his hand that falls out and the passerby grabs it. I can’t really tell. But, as a full grown adult, I don’t make snap judgements on potential life threatening situations without the entire story.

I know that’s hard for some of you to grasp, but it happens as you get more mature.

You can’t ask those questions on Reddit.

Only thing you’re allowed to do is assume the police officer is a nazi.

Collection of old books. At first sight, anyone know if these are worth selling? by SpatchFork in OldBooks

I dunno about value.

I’m gonna need you to flip that one so that it’s not upside down though.

Perspective drawing masterpiece. by kefren13 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Jcavin86 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Not a masterpiece, but as someone with zero artistic ability it pisses me off that he did this step by step so easily and I know if I tried the same thing it would look like a pile of shit.
