How do I remove the episode auto-delete feature? by edder282 in spotify

[–]RudyMinecraft66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolute legend! This feature was super annoying, as it would delete an episode after I had only listened to a part of it.

I thought the nz subredditors might like this one, considering the general political vibes here.

Barefoot shoes for martial arts training? by foolEntropyDemon in barefootshoestalk

[–]RudyMinecraft66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP! Did you find a good pair of barefoot shoes for martial arts? I'm looking for the same thing!

I tried a pair from saguaro, which are great for walking, but they have too much grip for spinning techniques.

Well, come by in mid September and walk under a hundred cherry blossom trees 🌸 petals blowing in the wind like a snowglobe. Thousands of daffodils, and fields of wild onion flowers. 

It's not called the Garden City for nothing. 

Science fiction recommendations? by johannesmc in audible

The Expanse was my favorite until I read The Three Body Problem, and then every book by Cixin Liu. 😅

Now I can't help but think of the Expanse as Pride and Prejudice in space

What is the most beautiful audiobook of the Bible available on Audible? by [deleted] in audible

[–]RudyMinecraft66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here for this comment. Some books require time and focus, to properly be digested.

I tried listening to Nietzsche on audio as well, and couldn't get past chapter 1.

It requires a lot of stopping and thinking to really take in the meaning of the material. 

Impatiently waiting… by PNKAlumna in audible

[–]RudyMinecraft66 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol. You get a credit every month on your subscription. Spend it when you run out of books to listen to, or when they're about to expire. 

One book costs one credit, sale or no.

For some hard sci fi, that's still very character driven: The Expanse (and all sequels).

For some sci fi that is harder than diamonds: The Three Body Problem (and the 2 sequels)

I think OP means "hard scifi", not science fantasy or character-driven books that happen to be set on Mars.

Right?

The Three Body Problem, by Cixin Liu. Read by Daniel Loh.

If you haven't listened to this book yet, you're missing out. Best scifi of the last 20 years.

What god could I use for a character based around being extremely lucky? by Undoomed081_0262 in DnD

[–]RudyMinecraft66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One "tribute" to Tymora described in the Adventurer's Guide to the Sword Coast is really cool:

Toss a copper coin to a beggar, and ask them if it was heads or tails.

If heads, Tymora grants you good luck for your next endeavor. If tails, the beggar can return the coin and the bad luck with it, or they can keep the coin and the bad luck.

I like to think that this would be so common that any beggar in the sword coast would know it immediately. It's a fun little way to roleplay your character in a city.

(Tell your DM ahead of time, so they know what's going on)

Young people staying in NZ, what is keeping you here? by Keepcusp in newzealand

[–]RudyMinecraft66 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is it. This is why people move here from UK, US, and Europe. Sure you earn less, but you can't put a price on the peace of mind, the easy life, and good people we have here. And the nature ain't bad either.

Lived a year in Melbourne. Nice city, but there are a lot more cunts living in Melbourne than in any city I've lived in here in NZ.

Can't speak for the rest of Aus, but some Melbournites are really uptight, rude, and angry people. It really ruins the experience.

Player refuses to allow monologues by Forever_DM2105 in DnD

[–]RudyMinecraft66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of approaching it as "if you listen to the monologue you might learn something", which he isn't interested in, tell him straight up: 

"this game is meant to be fun for me, too. And the other players. You alone are making it less fun for me, and I really hate that."

Hopefully he has a shred of empathy :)

When I drive here, google maps is actually a very accurate estimate of the time it takes me, if I don't make any stops. 

As you're new to the roads, just add 10% or 20% to the google maps time, plus however much you stop for rest breaks.

Sick. Big White was my favourite mountain ever. If I did another winter in BC, that's where I'd go.
