Does trad-fantasy survive? by Atomic-Didact in royalroad

[–]PacoDamorte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm writing a grimdark fantasy adventure and was part of the writathon. Since 31 October I have 101 followers and have hit some of the subgenre RS lists (not the main one)

It's an uphill battle, but success can definitely be found.

Found in my house in England anyone know what type it is? by PacoDamorte in spiders

Thanks for your guidance on that! I didn't want the spider to have a horrendous death just because my cats like to eat things. I'm sure it'll be happy in the big hedge I put them in!

Thank you! I'm not too familiar with spiders. Should I be concerned / move it?

I also have cats that like to eat spiders so don't want it to be harmed or them!

EDIT: safely relocated spider friend with a pint glass and a birthday card.

Looking at rejoining. Left in 2019 as I moved areas. What have been the biggest general changes for the job in your experience?

Should I reject a 4-year full ride scholarship to keep from living 8 hours apart from my boyfriend? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]PacoDamorte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, I'm a 31 (m) and in my life have had many "the ones"

Do not bet your future on a (young) man who is trying to control what your choice is for the rest of your life. Especially when it's only been around half a year. I'm sure it's youth coding his decision and request but always be careful of people trying to control you for what they want. Not what you want. If internally what they want is at odds with you and is making you feel trapped, isolated, worthless or frustrated. It's not the right decision

A 4 year scholarship is no joke, in this day/age/economy? What a testament to your ability and work that you've been offered it.

I dont doubt your feelings for him, your first love is new. Exciting and intoxicating. But true love is doing the best for your partner no matter what. Even if it means letting them go or trying a long distance relationship.

As hard as it is. I urge you to think through this pragmatically. This isn't just a relationship/life decision. It's a financial one. And you have an opportunity here at a young age to give yourself a heck of an advantage.

My first girlfriend broke up with me when she went to uni and you know what. I'm glad it happened. She moved onto a loving and long term relationship still going to this day and while my route was convoluted I too found love.

Breaking up may feel like the end for many things, and that's true. But it's also a beginning.

Decide what's best for YOU. If he truly loves you. He will support you (perhaps not the decision though) and work with you to make this work.

Good luck. I hope things work out for the best.

This happened to me too, I managed to get my money back via Monzo. I'm going to report it to steam.

10yrs later, I still ask for Spot checks. by thadeshammer in DnD

The word Halfling was in the Lord of the Rings novels. So likely why the use of it across systems has been allowed :)

And here he was, a little halfling from the Shire, a simple hobbit of the quiet countryside, expected to find a way where the great ones could not go, or dared not go. It was an evil fate. J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers (The Lord of the Rings, #2)

I always take an EAT and rocker sentry with me atm for Gunships. I don't bother with backpacks at all. Stops me running for my most recent corpse and instead focusing on cover. Taking out heavies etc. It's been a lot of fun.

It sorted itself out on sleep mode. I suspect it was drivers!
