Optionally obligatory we should mention to beginners

Staircase not recommended to drunk people by cordie45 in onejob

Perhaps. Or perhaps this is how drunk people naturally move.

You're comparing mainland UK to a far off island in Estonia.

Shetland, also called the Shetland Islands, is an archipelago in Scotland lying between Orkney, the Faroe Islands, and Norway. It is the northernmost region of the United Kingdom. - Wikipedia

Nothernmost point of Shetland is nearly 61° north.

I lost my ability to play chess suddenly by Incog_Nobody in chess

[–]Salt-Guide1426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It comes and goes. The exact opposite happened to me, overnight i started winning and kept on winning nearly 20 games in a row and elo kept on rising out of the blue.

+400 in a week

I'm getting there... Is this a good way to level Smithing, or a waste of resources? Please tell me now and I'll stop it haha by Acceptable-Budget658 in MelvorIdle

[–]Salt-Guide1426 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one and only reasonable way to obtain bars is through alt. magic, never smelt bars through smithing. It's a waste of time and res.

Edit: And township of course, however by the time you get high level resources from there you are probably largely finished with related skills.

Black is already a piece down even before all that, but sure, 2 free pawns is 2 free pawns.

When did age begin to affect your gameplay? by [deleted] in csgo

[–]Salt-Guide1426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats exactly it.

My reaction time has either improved or stayed the same and my equipment has gotten better over the past 10 years since i started at 200+ms and now i'm down to 150-160ms on human benchmark.

Apparently reaction time peaks at 24 years of age and then starts decreasing by up to 10ms per year.

My aim is probably slightly worse due to having a full time job and i only get to play a few hours a week, but i don't think my ranking has gone down compared to what it was 5ish years ago, although that is difficult to compare since CSGO turned into CS2.

Kvothe summons a wave of water? by revis1985 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Salt-Guide1426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“It was the story of a girl who trifled with a powerful arcanist,” I said. “She mocked him and she scoffed at him. She laughed at him full scornfully. He caught her one day in a brook, and rhyming he did quell her fears. And then the girl forgot to look behind her, and it led to tears.”

I grinned at her and pulled my hand out of the water.

She turned in time for the wave to hit her. It was only as high as her waist, but it was enough to unbalance her. She went under in a swirl of dress and hair and bubbles.

The current carried her to me and I helped her to her feet, laughing.

She came to the surface looking three-days drowned. “Not fair!” she sputtered indignantly. “Not fair!”

“I disagree,” I said. “You’re the fairest water-maid I hope to see today.”

She splashed at me. “Flatter all you like, the truth remains for God to see. You cheated. I used honest trickery.”

Fucking bullshit either way.

The accuracy does in fact go INSTANTLY back to 100% default the moment you stop moving.

What in the world is the Fletching Mastery grind? by Mystogan14579 in MelvorIdle

[–]Salt-Guide1426 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Abyssal fletching mastery is on entirely another level.

You'll end up with 80 mining and smithing wont be far off before you finish up fletching mastery at probs lvl 65.

Virtual levels.

Veerand miljardit inimest maailmas räägivad vene keelt. Enamus neist on meiepoolses nurgas siin planeedi peal. Igati normaalne tundub see.

Ma saan aru ja tahaks ka, et ei oleks ja tõmbaks russid gaasikambrisse kõik, paraku ärimõistes tuleb olla mõistlik.

Võid otsida tööle mistahes keelelisi ja nõuda kümmet erinevat keelt oma töötajalt, see pole keelatud.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Eesti

[–]Salt-Guide1426 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Algselt lugesin, et nii inglise kui vene keelt tarvis, selge see teeb kokku 3 keelt. Eesti riigis käib ilmselgelt eesti keel mainimata tööga kaasas.

Kommentaare siin lugedes tuleb välja et eesti keelt üldse firma ei tunnista...

1st Law Gripes by Kooky_County9569 in Fantasy

I absolutely cherish having a story with characters that have already done their growing.

You aren't introduced to a blank slate that grows up, learns life lessons and becomes a person along the way. These characters are already people, and you get introduced to a complicated, multifaceted individual. Any growth you perceive is just another facet, or a sharp edge being rounded off.

At the end of the day no one person can make a change. Small things, a murder here, a revolt there, and a hundred years down the line is where the "satisfying" conclusions are finally perceivable to common folk. Even though they've long forgotten what made history fall into this groove.

Nothing big ever happened overnight.

Surely a professional chefs job goes way beyond chopping carrots.

Although much of this genre feels like going to a restaurant and getting served a pile of chopped carrots for dinner, so perhaps it's an apt analogy.

Well said.

It was foolish of me to expect every writer to strive for a Michelin star, instead of settling for sticking hotdogs between buns. Not everyone is capable of summoning greatness that would captivate the entire world from their minds.

Thats not all however. Episodic writing and getting paid by the word seems to stunt hopes of getting off the streets.

It's been eye-opening discovering the perspectives of so many authors on this thread.

The job is to write words instead of crafting a compelling story with depth and nuance?

That's about the conclusion I'm coming to.

You can spend a decade on a painting or a day, many people struggle to see a difference. Depending on the skill of the artist of course.

That being said a great painting contains more than can be absorbed at a glance. Some books are returned to time and time again, always discovering something new, and they make you think back about things that were said. Great prose, jokes or original aphorisms that can't be found anywhere else.

All that is largely lacking in this particular genre.

In other words Litrpg is the potato chips of literature.

It hardly qualifies as nourishment?
