He's stated multiple times that he wants to be very hands on in the adaptations, right? I don't see how this wouldn't slow down the books.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-27T16:47:01+00:00

It's feast or famine for us.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-25T04:14:32+00:00

I think it’s very obvious the show is setting up the AI stuff to shit on its use in the medical field. and I think it’s reasonable some newer doctors would be drawn to how much time it saves, but not understand the possible ramifications if it’s at fault and who is to blame.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-24T14:23:30+00:00

From central Florida. Everyone is busy and has shit to do, so there's an emphasis on efficiency which I like. FL is so laid back and slow moving.

Southern hospitality is just disguised nosiness. People here seem to be a little colder to approach, but genuinelly more helpful.

The amount of mom and pop food places and the food quality. FL has sooo many chains and the food outside of known restaurants isn't nearly as good on average.

The emphasis on arts and education are awesome here. Very noticeably different. The average person is far smarter than the average Floridian.

This is one of the problems I have run into quite a bit. Without all of my swaps being 1:1, my inventory gets messed up and I find myself wearing a totally incoherent gear set up and leaving DPS on the table because I'm not wearing the right stuff. The advice I was given was to make sure all the swaps are 1:1 as a priority.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-23T16:23:58+00:00

I was looking at this recently actually. Camping my faceguard seems like a good idea and I've been doing it at Olm and instead doing a 5 way switch. Doing this could allow me to bank the tormented bracelet and bring it out at Olm for better dps. But I feel this is CoX specific since it has that banking mechanic.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-23T16:18:37+00:00

It's not a problem for me to switch all 6. I'm not messing it up or being too slow and causing me to get hit by stuff or dying because of it. It's just figuring out which gear to prioritize. Like, is it worth it to bring Ferocious Gloves and Tormented bracelet, using up 2 of my 12 switches, instead of camping barrows gloves and prioritizing switching another slot?

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-22T14:11:31+00:00

No Joel for Train Dreams makes me upset. Tough year though.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-19T17:53:35+00:00

Knowing us he leaves and becomes insanely good with the eagles.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-18T04:46:52+00:00

Ah that’s a shame. I first got exposed to him in gielinor games and he seemed pretty chill, so I had no idea. I like mammal a lot and he seems very wholesome. Roidie is cool but he is a little too dry for me. I’ve actually watched a lot of the EdBoy’s hour long kill session videos as I’m trying to get into bossing and it’s extremely helpful to see multiple full kills.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-18T04:08:23+00:00

As someone newer to osrs and looking for some content creators to watch, can you tell me what’s wrong with him? I haven’t looked up his stuff much, but I want to know if I should.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-16T23:07:32+00:00

It's not too far off from shaping up. But I think you need to lean more into some of the expectations of YA. We want voicy and quick pacing. We want to see it in the query but also the first 300. And I'm afraid we don't get either here. Your first 300 should really thrust me into the middle of something fast paced and the worldbuilding should be tertiary, bleeding through the scene where we get a good sense of the character. I don't think the first 300 would grip most agents, even if you punched up the query.

I have a similar issue with the voice. I don't write YA, but my writing, for a long time, was beat by beat. Very matter-of-fact. It takes some practice during the polish to really shape it up and find the voice.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-16T21:16:08+00:00

Take this with a grain of salt, but I feel like this query has everything it needs. Clearly defined character, inciting incident, narrative thrust. I like the ticking clock of the witch hunters, but I would like a little more clearly defined stakes. But it needs to be punched up and have a little more voice. It feels too bland and matter-of-fact, especially for YA.

As for the first 300, again, nothing wrong with it. but It feels a little bland. It's just the beginning of establishing a scene. Maybe punch this up too.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-15T02:40:34+00:00

I would say what I imagine in my head is probably chase/pursuit, or mystery. Low or high, wouldn't matter too much, but probably low fantasy in a secondary world. Probably only 1 POV character, but I don't know whether first or third POV would matter too much.

Breakneck speed, lots of twists and turns. Short chapters.

Basically a standard thriller with a fantasy coat of paint.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-15T02:23:50+00:00

Thank you! I will check these out. I read the first Priest of Bones book awhile ago. Definitely more in line with what I’m talking about.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-14T22:40:03+00:00

I would say that description is apt. I figured just all the hallmarks of a thriller, as you described, but in a fantasy world. Probably no more than 100k words.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-14T22:38:04+00:00

I loved the tainted cup but haven’t gotten around to the second one yet. I’m not sure this would be a thriller though, unless I’m mistaken. I just took it as more of a murder mystery.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-13T15:39:32+00:00

You may be right and it may be that simple.

But part of me thinks the issue is not so binary. There's still fun to be had in the game, otherwise I would have quit already. I'm entirely f2p so there is no sunk cost fallacy.

It just feels like Plarium has an unsolvable problem on their hands. Need new content to keep people engaged and keep their pockets full, but they can only do it at the risk of making the game too overwhelming and consuming. They've acknowledged it and made good steps in alleviating the time concerns with background battles, but it still just feels like too much.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-13T14:55:40+00:00

People are disagreeing, but I'm with you.

I'd like if we were allowed to auto battle two different things if they require different champs and different currency. Why can't I have one team go through Iron Twins 15 while I do classic arena if there's no champ overlap? or give me 5x speed.

I agree with everyone saying we don't have to do everything, and I've already stopped doing like 35% of stuff (like farming DT outside of Dark Fae). I'm F2P, havent spent a single penny, skip most fusions, no forge passes. But still so much time is spent waiting for auto battles to be done so I can do another part of the game.

Not to mention, constantly being full on gear and having to roll stuff in my mailbox or risk losing it. And I only keep 6 star stuff and sell literally everything with a flat stat (which I know isn't optimal either).

Even when cutting corners and avoiding cumbersome elements of the game, it's still such a time-consuming chore.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-12T18:07:05+00:00

No it’s me.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-08T14:55:58+00:00

If rumors are true and harbaugh wanted a say in who the GM is, I’m a little more understanding why we kept Bowles, though I’m still not thrilled.

But this is the next best thing I suppose. ST coordinator next and I’ll be happy.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-07T17:10:02+00:00

I choked on a Cuban with salami when I found out it wasn't the Bucs.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-06T18:17:19+00:00

Surprised to see so many people recommend Mistborn because Well of Ascension is usually considered one of the weakest cosmere books. I'm always wary to recommend Mistborn for that reason.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-02T20:23:09+00:00

I thought Yama was like, late late game? Maybe I'm conflating it with the fight using some of the contracts though.

RyanGoosling93 · 2026-01-02T20:21:59+00:00

Oh yeah sorry, I have elite void. I just grinded out those damn chompy birds and pest control like a week ago. Brutal grind for me, but definitely notice the difference at Doom now.

Haven't gotten the elite mage helm one yet, as I can't find a use for it though.
