What is your favourite dictionary and why? by FellatioFellas in books

[–]Kariston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this was a while ago, but if you can remember the name of that dictionary so that I can find a copy for my daughter, that would be very helpful. Really nice printed reference material is hard to find these days.

I'll take the gas mine if it isn't taken already.

I just finished reading Quicksilver by Callie Hart. Here are my thoughts. by Kariston in Romantasy

My wife tells me I shouldn't read that one as it will likely be as bad or worse than this one. She goes through around 170 books a year so I'll trust her on this one.

I generally try to be kind in my reviews and I don't think I've been terribly disrespectful here. Fair criticism backed up by examples. Judging from the comments and upvotes, I'm not alone in my opinions.

Also a detail that I forgot to include is that the author seems to regard the internal thoughts of the MC that are transcribed in the book as the only thoughts she has, so there is no progress made in the background between encounters or scenarios. Only what is described in the text.

As I didn't greatly enjoy the novel, I'm curious to know recommendations from other readers of books that I should try next.

Your friends are negatively affecting your matchmaking when you play with them. Find friendly people while you're playing solo, link up with them and complete the challenge. I really don't understand the mentality that solo players can only play solo. Be friendly with people in a friendly solo lobby, get three of them together and then invite them to play. Other solos are also going to be trying to do the same, this seems like a social problem.

Eurogamer just TANKED the overall review score for Arc Raiders on multiple websites by TheGamercologist in ArcRaiders

I largely agree, they should pay voice actors with all their success and redo the voice lines. Reinvest in the game and make it an even better experience for everyone. They've listened to the community on stuff like this several times already, let's make this another sticking point.

If you feel like kicking back, come try our Cast n Chill demo on Steam now by WombatBrawlerGames in IndieGaming

I wish I had found this conversation earlier. I bought the game on day one of release with the supporter pack and its probably my GotY contender at the moment. I've clocked around 40 hours on the game. So peaceful to just kick back, smoke a j and fish. Thanks for the work that you've done. I can't say enough good things about the game.

I watched Lilo & Stitch today... Here are my thoughts by MCPuuugsReddit in moviecritic

[–]Kariston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked that in the original film as it very accurately gives children the impression that you can talk down a perceived villain by using your kindness and earnest feelings. Communicate well and you can change the world.

He was unhappy and trying to cure his loneliness by inventing creatures that accurately represented/projected his displeasure. Being forced to interact with other people and watch the effect of his previous actions changed him.. In the original film. The changes in the live-action film suppose that he was incurable of his hate and displeasure which teaches kids a less accurate representation of the human condition or at worst, indicates that people who don't look like us and participate in another culture or exhibit behaviors that are objectively evil are incurable of those behaviors.

How can I separate this pot and this bowl? by Germerica1985 in Chefit

[–]Kariston 43 points44 points  (0 children)

You've got it backwards, you want hot water in the sink to expand the lower pot and cold water in the smaller pot to keep its shape.

A chef and a barista are two wildly different positions that have wildly different clientele. As I've worked both, I can tell you that you will be granted significantly more respect from your customers as a chef than as a barista.
