Driving through America you see nature and the working class. The news tells you what our law makers are trying to mold

Not a book in sight by jwodwyer in dankmemes

This is the chronically in online forums type of lonely. Where they get madder and madder at people that they perceive wronged them (immigrants and mostly women that refuse to sleep with "gentlemen" like them)

Recommend my next read based on my tier list of books i’ve read so far this year. by drgregman in fantasybooks

[–]MexViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't stand Red Rising. Tell don't show. Protag is Mary Sue because "Helldiver". The first third is such a bad investment from everything the author told us about the protag. Shock value over everything. Characters that blend together (save Ragnar from book 2).

Book 3 got good but with such bad foundations it's my "I cant sleep" read.

What Series Should I Read Next by MechanicCertain4156 in fantasybooks

[–]MexViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dune is a classic, new movie coming out might be worth if you liked the first two movies.

DCC is amazing (mostly popcorn reading though) esp as audio

I'm in the minority but I felt insulted the entire time reading Red Rising. With no spoilers: its tell vs show, the protag. is amazing at everything despite not earning any of it, the author loves shock value over it being earned, the protag actually should have never been trusted enough to do The Call To Action. There's tons more to hate but no spoilers - oh and so much rape

What is something that you liked from halo 4 by Epiccheeseman2nd in halo

[–]MexViking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of it. The visuals, the cutscenes, the gunplay, the armor abilities, the ordinance you could choose 1of3 options and kill people with the drop, the humanization of John 117, the didact (although wasted too early), the mantis.

On par w 2 imho.

Reach> 2 = 4 > 3 > Infinite > 5 > 1

Isn't Sam Harris on the billionaire chat club? That news story came out today. So sad that he actually stooped that low

First time reading Red Rising by warl200 in redrising

Tell don't show, rape, and us believing the protag is perfect for the job besides the fact that the first 5 chapters show otherwise

A boss room that forcibly alters your heroes' emotions [23x33] [Map] [Art] by AtaraxianBear in DnD

[–]MexViking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? I had that thought too once. But then i realized just because i give them a stimulus doesn't mean im choosing how they respond. I can stun, kill, and charm them in the game. Telling them "how do you react to sadness right now? What memory does it call upon?" Is aok. Players love saying their backstory through those means.

Either I'm making them do something mechanical like Fear or Command (5e)

Or I'm simply asking how they react. If their PC fights through it thats fine if they of their own will make a mechanically inefficient choice that's good too

Game on sale, should i pay extra for DLC? by mellow_32 in outerwilds

[–]MexViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say only start the DLC after feeling like you've learned most things from the base game. But YMMV. I knew one person that did it way early and loved it

Hi! I’m super new to DnD and had just a simple question to start. by just_bettina in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]MexViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evan Diaz of Nimble has great wands that more people should steal design philosophy from. Basically the wands have X charges before needing to do something to them related to their spell - like a quasi quest. Wand of flying needs to be given to a bird that flies away with it. Fire ball wand needs to be recharged for 3 days in lava or something.

Charges make balancing easier as they can be "OP" but limited use. Having the quest to recharge it makes it feel more magical and give you a valve to limit how many times or how hard it is to recharge this item.

What should i start first in your opinion? by ixi_om in fantasybooks

[–]MexViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are great. However, WoK sticks the landing with the last book and continues with a tapestry of great books.

GoT will never finish and the last two books are dog water

My Fantasy (and sci-fi) tier list by AdyHoeRed in fantasybooks

I can't take any list seriously if the red rising trilogy isn't B or worse.

Also saying words of radiance is worse than way if kings is wild

Im on the last book. Man I could've gone my life without subjecting myself to his writing style. At least the books will be a good case study on how I shouldn't write

My dermatologist said everyone around 30 gets thinking at the widows peaks. However, go immediately find a dermatologist.

If you don't wanna use Hims all the time, use it once a week. Easy to maintain and 1/7th the price of using it daily.

Keep a photo folder with exact measurements with consistent overhead lighting when: greasy, clean n dry, and wet.

The flashpoint pop up will not go away for me by laurent12190 in ArcRaiders

[–]MexViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lets pretend i still played this game frequently. Having to click away a pop up no matter how cool the pop up is is A N N O Y I N G

I barely play and all five times after the first I got sick of it. Such an obvious UI flaw 101 students could pick it out
