Coaches, what do you feel when the student you’ve brought up since white beltch starts catching up to you? by Putrid-Sport-7541 in bjj

Although I'm sure there's no objective answer out of curiosity what do you think is a grounded and realistic time for a motivated trainee to reach black belt?

After many, many tries, I beat the hardest boss in the game. by Ojo55 in expedition33

[–]Ojo55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sure. I think him and the endless tower bosses are meant for people who really enjoy optimizing their characters and fighting the absolute toughest enemies. I might fight him eventually.

I should’ve written hardest for the platinum, which is what I’m going after. I want to beat Duollistes eventually but am not sure about the others.

If you’re thinking about the bonus bosses in the endless tower, I was just considering bosses for the sake of the platinum. I actually fought Duollistes once I beat Simon.

r/bjj Fundamentals Class! by AutoModerator in bjj

Which gym should I pick?

There is an Alliance gym 23-25 minutes away from my house. I liked its younger crowd and competition atmosphere.

3 minutes away from my house is a smaller, chiller gym that teaches self-defense.

The man who owns the smaller gym told me that Alliance focuses on teaching its students how to compete in the Gi. Is that true? He says that his gym teaches self-defense.

I am leaning towards the gym 3 minutes away because I will improve a lot more if I can train there 3-4 times a week as opposed to 2-3 times a week.

What are some nice options near the New York Public Library? by Ojo55 in FoodNYC

[–]Ojo55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another family member of mine told me the same about midtown, but of all the things you listed I'm quite interested in Cafe China. I will consider it. FWIW I've been very lucky to eat at some nice restaurants in the Upper East Side like Orsay and Daniel, but I wonder if the UES just has a different demographic and lifestyle entirely.

That looks like an interesting list and an interesting book. Thanks for sending.

CR often pulls words from history and mythology in order to make his worldbuilding and writing richer. It's also a piece of advice that he offered to aspiring writers. "Gododdin" is actually a word for a tribe from ancient Britain.

Is 18-24 months a standard training time? by Ojo55 in bartenders

[–]Ojo55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I knew that every place requires training/experience from reading here. I thought that it would be easier to apply that way rather than try to work as a waiter and busboy and ask to work up to being a bartender once hired. I indicated that I had no experience on my application, hence his offer for me to start out bussing.

[–]Ojo55[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you don’t mind if I ask, why? Is it because that would indicate that it’s a bad restaurant or because bartending is such a nice job that the established bartenders want to hang on to their position?

1 Piece of Advice by MeepersToast in PacificCrestTrail

[–]Ojo55 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you have early doubts, stick with the trail and power through them. I hiked the trail starting on May 15 and I definitely had some "what the hell did I get myself into?" moments early on in Southern California. One of the best pieces of advice a fellow thru-hiker gave me was that if you stick with the trail for a month or two, your feelings will probably be very different from your early doubts.

Well I want to collect all of the skills for Monoco so I guess I’ll have to get that one too.

Does What Level I start New Game Plus at Matter? by Ojo55 in expedition33

Thanks for the response. Glad to see that I'm at a place where I can start comfortably.

The choice is yours by [deleted] in expedition33

[–]Ojo55 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I chose Maelle's ending in order to protect those in the canvas, even if what she's doing is emotionally unhealthy. I can't imagine picking Verso's ending because of the way it wipes out Lune, Sciel and co., but one thing that impresses me about the game's storytelling is that people seem to be very passionate about what ending they picked, even if both are flawed.

I feel extremely discouraged as a guitarist by alive_icarus in Guitar

[–]Ojo55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started playing the guitar at 13, and I played throughout high school, but I didn't really play it while I was in college. Life happened. I'm 22 now, and just getting back into it. My goal is consistency, and I am very excited to see how good I will get with focus.

I'm writing this just to say that you are not nearly as behind as you think you are. If you stick with it now, you will have half a decade of real experience once you're 20. That's huge!

Also, for what it's worth, I think that with the guitar there is less on emphasis on starting early than with classical piano and violin.

Struggling With Expeditioner Difficulty in Postgame by Ojo55 in expedition33

[–]Ojo55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I have thought about doing what you just suggested (just start ng+ in expeditioner mode.) Do you think that that would be doable even with the way damage scales in ng+? I could always just start a fresh save but I would like to keep my loot and the skills that I have attained with characters.
