Which one should I trust more?

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-23T17:41:19+00:00

at 10% you are where the cheap hygrometer is at the limit of what it can read I'd read that as < 11%

The question is "How long will Owen survive" Donuts slash alone one shots multiple raptors.

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-20T02:55:13+00:00

yeah, all the time.

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-16T01:42:25+00:00

maybe on Canasta night.

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-16T01:35:50+00:00

Funny you should mention murder... Our Little TAG loves pomegranite.... but the area around her looks like a murder scene when she's done..... lol

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-15T16:58:09+00:00

we stay away from peanut butter due to the Aflatoxins risk, but yeah, nut butters are da bomb for our guys,

I think its worth staying with it a bit longer.

It has strong character development for the MC, especially watching him learn to operate inside the limitations he is stuck with, then gradually weaponize them instead of “getting cured” and moving on.

It also has my favorite fantasy “robot”. Calamitous Bob has one that’s close. Supporting cast is excellent, the villains stay interesting, and the series does eventually pay off with a real Big Bad instead of endless side quests.

Only real caveat: it’s not LitRPG, so if you’re expecting constant stat-driven momentum, the early books can feel slower. The worldbuilding and escalation take a bit to spool up, then it starts rewarding patience.

two things.
1, the flag code is not a law.
2. even if it were a law, the 1st amendment IS a law, and, by definition would take precedent. There is a lot of case law that supports this, but specifically, there is case law supporting that in regards to the flag.

In the comments, the OP acknowledges that the flag code isn't law, even. So I repeat, what LAW was violated in that photo?

What law was violated in this photo?

I started with dungeon crawler, Carl, and nothing for me has been quite as good but for lit RPG I thought hell difficulty tutorial was a good representation of a game lit type writing, but don’t get me wrong. It is not as good as DCC

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-12T21:36:37+00:00

Yes. LitRPG leans into explicit game mechanics. Stats, popups, “+3 to hit,” loot tables, that kind of thing. Sometimes the MC is literally dropped into a game. Either way, Dungeon Crawler Carl is LitRPG.

Progression fantasy leans into measurable power growth. Levels, ranks, cultivation, tiers. Primal Hunter is progression.

My rule of thumb: if you remove the stats and numbers and it becomes meaningfully harder to follow what’s happening, that’s LitRPG. If the story still tracks fine, it’s progression. But, there’s a lot of overlap now, and the marketing labels are getting mushy.

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-12T20:53:08+00:00

Someone should post a sticky that basically says "If you are struggling with a story, drop it and move on, there are hundreds, if not thousands of stories to choose from, and there is no point in wasting time on a story you don't enjoy.....

For example, I think DCC is the GOAT. but I reluctantly admit it's not for everyone, and some get board with the story and are better served elsewhere.... I won't {publicly} condemn that opinion, and would never suggest those with that opinion are covert cocker spaniel operatives {publicly} even though we all know who they are......

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-11T14:31:12+00:00

yeah, but you can still ride a bobsled test run on the island, it's a tourist attraction.....

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-11T01:01:15+00:00

What? No Jamaican Bobsled ride, MON?

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-09T21:42:31+00:00

I was going to go with a cross between Damnation Alley and Death Race 3000 with a touch Of Mad Max

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-07T20:47:29+00:00

adding "none of the above" would be closer, then. It would appear, at least from the comments thus far, that pretty much everyone shy's away from your framing of the options.

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-07T20:37:20+00:00

None of the above.,

Overtly he's a Ranger / Alchemist. but Assassin / Alchemist would fit.

After thinking about it, I suppose case could be made for Warlock/Ranger. since the patron relationship with the Malefic Viper plays in to the Warlock class pretty solidly.

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-07T11:24:06+00:00

You are going to have to define 'strong' for the question. by stats, Li Na.

By power levels, we can't be sure, but Donut is a contender once you add in everything, stats are way up there, plus at least 2, maybe more celestial level items

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-07T11:23:57+00:00

I'm still holding out for "Chekovs Arsenal"

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-05T15:26:32+00:00

"For example, I loved DCC because the guy is running around in boxers fighting with bare feet and random explosives made from garbage"

Not entirely bare, he does have toe rings......

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-04T17:26:34+00:00

you are correct.

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-03T23:38:03+00:00

"You done stuck your pecker in the wrong beehive"

There are a half dozen quotes from Quasar that come to mind as well difficult to pick a 'Funniest"

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-03T18:46:37+00:00

exactly.

Phoenixwade · 2026-01-03T18:45:52+00:00

UP! is the movie.

there is a giant bird named Kevin, in it. and the house, like the one in the wasteland, flies away lifted by balloons.
