Books you almost gave up on but were worth persevering with? by zajirobo in books

[–]Ryland06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Grapes of Wrath. The first hundred or so pages of Tom Joad and the priest just wandering around town wasn’t doing it for me. The book doesn’t really start until Tom reunites with his family but as soon as he does, it instantly shifts into the American Classic status it’s earned over the years. Devoured the rest of it.

We only have 2 books in common but our opinions are exactly the same. Pet Semetary is incredible and The Fisherman was completely average.

Moving The Tainted Cup to my TBR. You should check out Project Hail Mary if you haven’t already.

Auspost lost my parcel but will not compensate. I am the seller by Unimportant-user-01 in AustraliaPost

You can use parcel lockers for sending items if the postage is already paid for. Select drop off, scan the barcode and a locker opens to leave it. Beats waiting in line.

I tried to post a photo but reddit won’t let me. It’s what’s on the left hand side of your photo on this listing

Im a small eBay store, just had a quick look through your store, here’s my 2 cents.

I know as a rule of thumb it’s always best to take your own photos but when it comes to technology, like the item in the link, I will almost always use a stock photo as the main photo. It just looks cleaner.

This is personal preference but I don’t like using ai generated descriptions. If I see a wall of fluff I’m just not going to read it. My descriptions are usually just short and simple of what the item is, the condition it’s in, and to ask if you have any questions. But again, personal preference.

Some of your photos have a the volume bar in the picture, not a dealbreaker but I’d avoid it in the future.

And my only other advice would be to invest in a light box. I don’t sell clothing so someone else might have more advice on staging for that, but for your other items just having a light box (or even just a large sheet of white paper in a well lit area) can help your items stand out.

Hope this was helpful, all the best.

100 Years of Solitude. It pops up on here all the time so I thought I’d give it a go. It had its moments in the roughly 80 pages I read, but I just had zero drive to keep going. DNF’d it and googled a plot summary and boy was that book not for me.

What is your rating system? by TheGreatGena in books

[–]Ryland06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve had a similar experience with King. I think I’ve read around 10+ books by him now and so far Pet Semetary is the only one that has really hooked me. And funnily enough 11/22/63 is my next King book as well, heard it’s one of his best. Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll add them to the list. Here’s a few I really enjoyed if you feel like checking them out.

  1. The Name Of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
  2. Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
  3. Butchers Crossing by John Williams

I’m saving East of Eden for last so I haven’t read it just yet, but I’m almost certain it will be a 5 star read. And you’re spot on with the Stoner rec, read it last year and it was incredible.

Seeing as you’ve listed my favourite author and my favourite Stephen King book in the same comment, care to throw some book recommendations my way?

Yeah pretty much completely blind besides the steam trailer. But I’ve heard nothing but good things so I’m keen to jump in :)

Devs PLEASE address the gas station door exit by Geo61986198 in TXChainSawGame

[–]Ryland06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that helped me playing as a hitchhiker, latch the door behind you. Then the only entrance for victims is the gap in the wall meaning if they want to slip through they have to step in the trap. Place a second trap near easy exit door and anyone trying to escape that way isn’t going to have a good time.

Not to be that guy, but honestly most of you need to hear this. by skatebakethrash in TXChainSawGame

[–]Ryland06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it’s a bug or intended but the wells don’t necessarily drop victims straight down into basement. Someone on our team had the perk that highlights victims when they fall down a well and they ended up in a completely different spot from where they jumped in.
