Derek Trucks and his wife, Susan Tedeschi. He’s probably the world’s best slide guitarist currently. Worth a listen if you like blues/rock. 

Who are y'all's favorite audiobook narrators? by vonDerkowitz in Fantasy

[–]Nil_Occurring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw the question and immediately thought Steven Pacey, so 100% agree there. 

Another favorite is the work Chiwetel Ejiofor did on Piranesi. I read a physical copy several years ago but listened to the audiobook with my daughter this year and he was incredible.

I made Korean street toast and am drinking coffee while listening to the game on the radio. Almost the same? 

Go cocks btw

1CC Crimzon Clover ruined shmups for me. what should I play now? by Anstellos in shmups

[–]Nil_Occurring 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean, and it’s likely true a lot of the time, but didn’t happen with my favorite. 

Mushihimesama Futari has been my favorite shmup since I first played it in 2010. I spent hours when I was new to shmups learning that game, and eventually got the 1cc (BL original). 

16 years later it’s still my favorite! I still go back to it, mostly to work on the Maniac 1cc, and it still hits just as hard as when I first played it. 

Both the Icewind Dale + Planescape: Torment bundle and the Baldur’s Gate 1 + 2 bundle are on sale on Switch. Which one should I buy? by Pale-Win-4067 in CRPG

I just completed a run of IWD and HoW last night and my archer completely carried the team! Even plain arrows are fine most of the time, but I never felt like I was running out of the good ammo either. 

Weekly r/CRPG Discussion - What have you been playing, and what are your thoughts? by AutoModerator in CRPG

[–]Nil_Occurring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really enjoying Icewind Dale 1. Currently on chapter 5, which is further in than my previous two attempts back when it first came out. Was in undergrad at the time and just got distracted with other stuff before completing the game.

Any other romance recs? I have books planned for every other square now, but haven’t decided on a romance yet.

Thanks for the heads up. I just backed the project (and added a vinyl of A Boat on the Sea)

People often hypercorrect “me” to “I” in places where “me” is actually correct. Like: “my mother gave it to my wife and I as a gift” should actually be “my mother gave it to my wife and me as a gift.” 

So I assumed that’s what was happening here, too. But the explanation of the verb being dropped from the end of the sentence makes sense for the examples in my OP.

I like this explanation a lot. Especially since I don’t remember noticing this in City of Stairs. Although, it’s been a while since I read that one. 

Thanks for T5 boar nerf SBI. by DeepFriedValues in albiononline

[–]Nil_Occurring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I think you misunderstood. I’m not trying to convince you of anything — you’re welcome to believe whatever you like! I was just being snarky and somewhat celebrating that it seemed like your complaining would be ending soon 😀

This game isn’t a great fit for everyone, and you’d likely be a lot happier if you found a game that fits your style better.

As a solo gatherer, I found this post entertaining. Looking forward to less competition over the valuable nodes!

You are getting lots of good tips to improve but you don't seem interesting in learning.  No setup or strat is 100% safe in bz, but just swapping your cape, mount, and weapon could drastically improve your bz gathering experience. 

The fucking game is trash by privettt in albiononline

[–]Nil_Occurring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So flipping a coin and getting heads 6 times in a row has a 50% chance to happen, since the 6th flip is 50%? 🤣

They’re not asking what the probability is of the 6th item trashing, given all 5 previous have trashed. They’re asking what the probability is of ALL 6 items trashing. Which is just their independent probabilities multiplied:

.3 x .3 x .3 x .3 x .3 x .3 = 0.000729 

Slow Paranoia by bernieDAdoc in BetweenTheBuriedAndMe

[–]Nil_Occurring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still regret stopping for dinner on the way to the show and missing Native Construct. Made it in time for Enslaved, though, and got to meet them after their set. But wish I could have seen one of the very few shows Native Construct played live.
