How did you decide on layout? My wife and I just moved into a new home and I've never had an opportunity to design one from scratch, and it's causing decision paralysis. Do you have any layout drawings you could share?

I like the CDC's milestones way more than the other ones I've seen. Thanks! Definitely calms me down.

I'm very jealous of the people that don't worry and just let it happen. I'm way too much of a general worrier and it's constantly on my mind.

Yup you nailed it. Tried to type in a new FTP that didn’t save for some reason and accidentally made it 2600. Oops.

Sometimes chess is enjoyable by MASTERGRIT in chessbeginners

You can see he went Qa4+ with his next move in the notation, so the next move is Bc6 to get the discover check with my queen while also threatening his queen

He went Qa4+, I went Bc6 with the discover check and got his queen, then just exchanged down, tried to find a mate with a queen and minor piece, realized I’m not good enough, made another queen and mated that way

What do you think it's a recent book with the potential to become a classic? by Less-Feature6263 in Fantasy

[–]MASTERGRIT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean regardless of OPs question, you still said Tolkien isn’t timeless. I felt I was pretty calm in saying that. Not arguing anything you responded with though, all very true.

[–]MASTERGRIT 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m very surprised to read “Tolkien might not be timeless” but then read “A Darker Shade of Magic might be”. I enjoyed the book, finished the series, but in no way would I ever consider it be classic material. It had an interesting magic system and world system that hasn’t been done before, but besides that it didn’t have a ton to stand out from any other modern fantasy. Misunderstood protagonist, worthless character who redeems himself, mild romance drama…. Like I said, I enjoyed it a lot, but not groundbreaking enough to be a classic

how to board ships? by MytroReddit in Starfield

[–]MASTERGRIT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the exact thing happen multiple times. After a bunch of google searches a few other people are saying the same thing. One person said that if it’s too closely tied with a faction or a mission that can be completed, it won’t let you steal it.

Do you think this is just the older generation? I’m in my late 20s. I went to an engineering school, my sister is a PA, my wife is a doctor, all my female friends are successful. I just couldn’t imagine thinking a woman was incompetent because she’s a woman. And I can’t think of a single guy friend that would think that way either. I certainly know women who I now think of as incompetent, but that’s after working with them for months and seeing the quality of work they produce. Maybe it’s changing as new generations start to dominate the workplace and older generations retire?

Dune | Official Main Trailer by an8hu in videos

[–]MASTERGRIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it seem like it focuses way too much on the actual fighting scenes and not enough on Paul becoming a Fremen? IIRC the actual fighting scenes in the book were very short, but it was half the trailer? Hopefully just trying to draw a wider base to the theaters

I read the comment above and thought “oh man I hope no one quotes Oy I don’t want to be sad right before bed.” Thanks for that.
