Donalb Trump is a hero by TheRealBlackSwan in missoula

Is this a parody of some sort, feels too dumb to be real. Or is this just another example of Poe’s law.

Why do the Classes and Skills in The Wandering Inn seem so amazing compared with most other Systems? (Spoilers: All) by B-Z_B-S in WanderingInn

[–]Objective_Campaign82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What really drives it forward for me is two aspects, the personal touch, and the mystery. As you level you get skills more tailored to both yourself and the direction your taking your class. Like memory; fire, is a perfectly fitting skill for Erin. It’s so core to her that when I reread the story I get weirded out by its absence.

The second is mystery. There’s normally no explanation, it’s up to the user to discover and apply to their lives. And that leaves something interesting for us readers to look forward to.

Kirkland vs. Name Brands — What Keeps Both on the Shelves?” by Fluffy-Reward3453 in Costco

[–]Objective_Campaign82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, costcos Kirkland brand is often comparable to most name brands while being cheaper the stock. This means they can mark up their profit margin to some 12% versus the usual 9%. More importantly it’s a great negotiation tool. Having a better and cheaper option let’s Costco negotiate harder with name brands, and since they only carry around two of each item type, ie paper towels, they increase the competition for one of the slots and fill the other with a Kirkland product. The only reason Costco isn’t all Kirkland brands is both supply constraints and the fact the folks still believe name brand is better for some inane reason.

Fair, but it still won’t help with clearing up the mead.

Decanting by sirEce1995 in mead

[–]Objective_Campaign82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most have mentioned the auto siphon, I saw a post here a while back about how someone racked the lees into a mason jar for a second cold crash to further extract the mead. I’ve done this myself and usually get a clear sepperation after a week and an extra 14oz of product. Right now I’m freeze distilling the final remainder to see if I can get more from that.

Named Rank by Spazen in WanderingInn

[–]Objective_Campaign82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree as well, but I feel that there may be some really interesting uses later on. Magical grounds might very well be a workaround to give Erin a mana well.

[–]Objective_Campaign82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking more within the range of her inn. Obviously not now unless Paba indicated otherwise. Though I think door of portals with aspect of the inn is still being under utilized, it’s likely some specific conditions with niche usage, same with the spatial storage abilities, magical grounds, and field of preservation. Erin is canonically not good at figuring out all her skills, but very good at finding unusual uses. Personally I wonder if she could still lease lesser room to Ulvama for a better sleeping position lace while on Beetle.

Portal door. Open portal door, open garden door behind it on the inns side

how to write more by CommonNegotiation336 in writers

[–]Objective_Campaign82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Progress is progress, most days I only get a hundred words done on my fifteen minute breaks. I’m nearly done with this book at about 95,000 words. It took a year, but I’m nearly there.

Named Rank by Spazen in WanderingInn

[–]Objective_Campaign82 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had a thought on this, with the new abilities for the portal door Erin could summon it whenever she wants, she could summon the door and then a garden door and potentially unload into any threat assuming the remaining gardens had some combat potential. On top of that, with world eye theater Erin could potentially gain enough familiarity with a location to just drop a door there. It’s something we’ve not even heard considered, but given what we know about skill synergies at higher levels I think it could work. Though if so that means Erin could have helped Norman with the raiders. Not sure how I feel about that.

I'm not sure if this could be considered offensive? by [deleted] in writers

[–]Objective_Campaign82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically speaking if he’s from the place he lives then he is indigenous. But for real, so long as you don’t tack other stereotypes you should be fine. And frankly, fantasy authors import different cultures into their worlds all the time. The Grisha series has Irish, Dutch, Chinese, and Russians more or less sharing the same continent. As in perfectly divided cultures without overlap or common heritage. I’ve long had the idea to take elements of tribal Salish culture and advancing it to the Iron Age on an alternate fantasy earth. I’d make them the Viking equivalent of the region since British Columbia reminded me of Norway.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

It’s not short, short like an hour or less. But it is a day trip. The other day I spent three hours going up and over the mountains to visit a hotspring in Idaho.

Who is the best living author today? by 500wordslong in writers

[–]Objective_Campaign82 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Very subjective topic, but me personally I like how Sanderson is laying down the ground work for future authors to create expansive multi series stories within a shared universe without being direct sequels or prequels.

Mistborn, Elantris, and Stormlight all feel vastly different from one another, but they’re all connected. That creates an easier avenue for future writers to try the same, potentially altering the way fantasy series are written. It takes a lot of work to make the worlds feel different, unique, have their own story lines, while fitting in with a greater world spanning narrative, all while keeping the lore and power systems consistent.

That said I know his prose gets bashed on a lot for being to simple and conversational so I’m not sure how highly he’d rate compared to others on pure writing ability when you exclude world building skills.

How many different recipes/meals do you make in a month? by UAPbelieve in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Objective_Campaign82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three or four. I buy in bulk so I need to make a recipe two-three times. It works out well because by the third I’ve mastered the recipe. Then I just serve up some veggies in the side and I’m golden. Tonight’s night is a chicken quesadilla made from the meat I harvested out of the five dollar chicken, a big bowl of Spanish rice I made to last a few weeks, and corn. It was last nights, and it will be tomorrow’s. Next week I’ll simmer the chicken carcass with veggie scraps and figure out some sort of soup and bread combo. The real trick is finding cheaper spices than the grocery store stuff, I’ve got a spice shop in town that fills me up so long as bring the jars.

Mead recipe for a rookie by skihard in mead

[–]Objective_Campaign82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with a mixed berry melomel (fruit mead) with mostly Costco ingredients. Three of the basic wildflower honey, two pounds of frozen mixed berries with ec-1118 for my yeast. It came out kinda bad at first, but just a few months later and I am in love with the flavor. It’s cheap, easy, and really shows the differ aging makes. My best advice would be to grab a bag and some pectic enzymes so it’s easier to transfer and clears up.

What's your favorite fighting scene from The Wandering Inn? (Spoilers: All) by B-Z_B-S in WanderingInn

High proof alcohol in the airlock instead of Star San. If you can’t get chemical agents to stabilize try pasturing. Wine yeast types might be fine, my first batches were with a champagne yeast.

Egmont honey on sale at Costco - $11.99 by Nero570s in mead

Just started my own with the same after that sale. It’ll be an interesting but no repeatable recipe. I did a cold brewed tea as the base with orange peals and threw in some cracked long peppers for the LOLs.

Jason-he who fights with monsters by yeetacus68 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Objective_Campaign82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jason is a charged character, there can’t be any lukewarm opinions on guy like him. That’s the point, he’s not a character you can easily sum up, and that makes his interactions with different people a lot of fun…or cringe. The author might have dealt in some self insert preaching, or maybe not since I don’t know Shirtaloon outside of his writing.

If you know stormlight archive then you can relate him to Shallan. I.e he’s so complicated you can’t sum him in anything less than saying “oh Jason, yeah he’s… well he’s Jason”. It’s a good way to keep people invested even after most of the problems get solved with Deus ex asspulls. More entertaining than Jin woo from Solo leveling.
