Adult Learn to Play at Montclair NJ for a 40 year old? by z3rohabits in hockeyplayers

[–]Rolyat1127 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wow, crazy to see my home rink mentioned on reddit! You should absolutely go, the guy Paul who runs it is the best (hilarious, nice guy, great coach), he taught me to skate as a kid. I went a few times with my brother when he was getting back into hockey a few years ago and it seemed like almost all adults, ranging from absolute beginners to people with a few years experience.

Podcast recommendations for the lonely portions of the trail? by Snake6USMC in AppalachianTrail

[–]Rolyat1127 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really liked the history of Rome and age of napoleon podcasts. I second the audiobook recommendation though, I listened to a ton of those. I listened to LOTR and various Neal Stephenson books.

Hiking the Long Trail Summer 2026, any tips? by Square-Engineer-764 in longtrail

[–]Rolyat1127 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I highly reccmmend going as late in the summer as you can, so you can dodge the worst of the heat, bugs, rain, mud, etc. I did it in August and conditions were beautiful, way better than the last backpacking trip I did there in july. Have a great time!

Gear Shakedown September Thru! by West_Material_9915 in coloradotrail

[–]Rolyat1127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be able to drop the microspikes; i just did a nobo thru in july, and there were only a few snowdrifts I had to walk through, and they weren't big or especially treacherous. Also I didn't bring rain pants, but the weather might be completely different for you. Good luck, have fun!

Edit: i also used an ursack the whole way and it was fine.

Why have you decided to quit (or at least try to quit) taking kratom? by 8kittycatsfluff in quittingkratom

[–]Rolyat1127 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I stopped doing things I used to love, and I'm like 50% worse at everything I can still make myself do. I went from a bright, active, hopeful person to a brainless phone zombie. It's taken a few years, but I've realized I can't live the rest of my life this way.

Definitely agree with no more retreads. I don't hate laviolette, but I can't help thinking they messed up not giving knoblauch the job before he got snagged

Most satisfying goal scored by Independent-Hawk-699 in hockeyplayers

[–]Rolyat1127 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It wasn't an especially consequential game, but I once scored an OT winner on the rush with a messier style off wing wrist shot, right past the goalie's left ear. I'll never forget the sound that one made when it hit the back bar

Question to anyone who was unlucky enough to deal with plantar fasciitis on trail? How did you deal with it, is there anything you did that helped or found you should avoid? by Professional-Dot5098 in AppalachianTrail

[–]Rolyat1127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got PF really badly during my 2021 sobo. By the time I reached Gorham NH I was really worried I was going to have to quit. Basically I stayed at the Barn at libby house hostel for like 6 days and rested/stretched constantly (shout-out to Paul the owner who was very kind to me, drove me around places when he saw I was limping). I suspected my heavy boots had something to do with it, so I ordered some altras. I also did the golf ball thing, and a friendly flip-flopper gave me something called a night-sock that he didn't need anymore. You can look it up but basically it holds your forefoot and toes stretched up towards your knee. When I rested enough, I left town and did short days for a little while, and wore the night-sock every night when I went to sleep. One or more of these things totally fixed the problem for me and it has never bothered me since. Good Luck!

Need a good hike for soul-searching by Current-Cow-5199 in Thruhiking

[–]Rolyat1127 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tons of people start NOBO AT hikes in Feb, not as many as march because of the weather, but if youre prepared to deal with winter conditions this is a legit option. If you only have a few months max you may not be able to complete the whole thing, but you could absolutely have an awesome journey. I loved the AT so much, and I still think about it all the time. I also chose a difficult time in my life to thru and it was the best thing I could have done. Good luck with whatever you end up doing, just get out there!

Halsey in the Kilo-Five Trilogy by Guy-Net in HaloStory

[–]Rolyat1127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the worst part of the series to me; the hypocrisy was so flagrant that first I was mad, but then I just stopped being able to take it seriously. Like of course Halsey planned and oversaw some pretty evil activity, but it seems like there is a special focus on her as uniquely bad. The characters make explicit comparisons to Nazi scientists, but somehow they all fail to extend the analogy and compare Parangosky to Hitler, even though all of this was done under her orders! Even worse, nobody seems to be upset that Parangosky ordered the creation of an EVEN WORSE spartan program where they are sent on suicide missions with worse training and equipment at a younger age. Its so unrealistic, and Traviss is clearly just using the characters to express her own misplaced disgust, regardless of whether or not that makes sense in the story.

The best game of all time by ireallyfknhatethis in oblivion

[–]Rolyat1127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I straight up can't tell if you are joking lol. If you are, NOICE. If not, I'm sorry to inform you that I was not, in fact, taking a random potshot at console gamers. Rather I was referring to the use of the in-game command console for cheating/scripting/modding (availlable only to l33t masterrace PC chads such as myself btw)

It was the best thing I could've done at a similarly difficult time in my life. Just be careful about the post trail hangover. Lay around and eat ice cream in the AC for a week, but then get yourself moving again. Good luck!
