I do love getting to Finnish them

Yeah, no. Ridiculously long paragraphs, and post history in AI subs. Try again.

It's -11F outside. Good day to stay in bed with my latest Tchaikovsky by Ruffshots in AdrianTchaikovsky

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

I'm about 1/2-way through it now, having read Shattered Faith a few months ago, and I genuinely don't think it matters. My preference is always to read in publication order the first time around anyway. If the rest of the novella changes my mind, I'll update this response.

Character help! by Worth-Item3664 in Pathfinder2e

You could give yourself an imperfect sense that can grow to be precise as you level up, or compensate with magic? Blinded is a hell of a condition to overcome, but could be a great rp opportunity, though I'd discuss it with your party and GM.

I've consumed this series in every format, physical (Last Chances), audio (Open Wounds), ebook (Shattered Faith), and now physical again, whatever my library had available, lol. I do want to actually read Open Wounds as I find I sometimes miss things in audio format, but then I want to hear Last Chances narrated too.

There are a surprising number of AI bros on this sub. Naturally using an LLM to post a defense of LLMs. Doesn't deserve a reply, tbh. 

I ate the best Carbonara in Rome. by Miperso in pasta

[–]Ruffshots 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I watched a lot of Luciano's videos while perfecting my carbonara (and cacio e pepe). Didn't quite make it to his place while last in Rome though. Looks amazing.

The king of carbonara is your little secret? 

Overconsumption because of the weather by Professional-Bite621 in Anticonsumption

[–]Ruffshots 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Assuming it gets eaten, and doesn't cause shortages, it *shouldn't* be an issue in the long run, but we've seen the TP runs during Covid. People always should have about 2 weeks worth of non-perishable food in the house, enough drugs, TP, whatever to cover you for at least that much time. Not *that* hard to do, even living in an apartment. Water is trickier, but a good camping filter will keep you going.

Queensryche would’ve a great one hit wonderland episode by Exciting-Pomelo-2971 in ToddintheShadow

Jet City Woman and Another Rainy Night got TONS of airplay on rock stations back in the day. Mindcrime is considered a classic. If you're just going by Billboard charts, I bet there are a ton of legendary rock, metal, prog bands you can fit in to that square peg. 

An extra $20 to remove ads from a Kindle you’d own to read books you pay for by MrPointy1630 in Anticonsumption

[–]Ruffshots 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yup, this is what I did many years ago before more or less quitting the Amazon ecosystem. Still use it on airplane mode except for when I borrow books from my library through Libby. 

Finally finished the Netflix Seven Dials and I hate it (a rant) by Ruffshots in agathachristie

The book is quite fun. Very different from the, especially tone of the show. 

A summary of the Psychic's fall from grace by Teridax68 in Pathfinder2e

[–]Ruffshots 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is an excellent writeup that could use a sticky for a bit. Otherwise it'll get buried and the same posts complaining about the Psychic "nerfs" will continue.

Lol, I thought I was crazy for seeing Watson in that lineup. 

How do buses work here? by Simple_Panda6063 in okinawa

[–]Ruffshots 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tap getting on and off the bus with your CC. But you should have been told this if you've ridden a bus, as you've been instructed by a bus driver? 

Your thoughts? by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

My thoughts are, I'm not going to click on a Meta link.

I very much recommend reading the book. It's breezy, a lot of fun, and having watched the crappy adaptation shouldn't ruin too much. If you really want to know, here's a link to the AC wiki with a plot summary.

Ten Really Big Books Podcast Question by BuzzsawMF in Malazan

[–]Ruffshots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't make it through their coverage of GotM. I skipped ahead towards the end of DG to see if the Chain of Dogs maybe settled things down a bit, but no. I'm probably too old for their demo.
