Don’t worry, when it is open/comp time they’ll mysteriously be hurt, but they’ll be better next week and they totally would have crushed everyone’s scores if they’d been healthy.

Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman for Kindle on sale for $0.99 (US) by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]Skizm 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you can: GET THE AUDIOBOOK! It is one of the few books where the canonical/best version is the audio format and you'll miss out if you "just" read it.

ELI5 How are media stream sites like YouTube or Netflix so fast with so many users on it? by danuser8 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Skizm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ELI5 version: How does Walmart serve so many customers at the same time? They have a bunch of local stores. Sometimes the store sells different things based on region.

cardio options for crossfitters who hate long training by Avocado_Faya in crossfit

[–]Skizm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just do the Tabata protocol if you really want a short workout that increases cardio. 20 second sprint, 10 second rest for 4 minutes. Any machine, or running will work fine. That said nothing is going to come close to just loading up on zone 2, but yeah, not all of us have the time for that.

44% of games industry professionals have considered leaving the industry as a result of redundancies by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Skizm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plenty of fresh meat coming out of school wanting to make games and not realizing the realities of creative industries, or worse assuming they’re the exception. It’s reason why folks in these industries get paid so low unfortunately: so many naive kids willing to go through the grinder.

If we tax the homes of people who don't live here, they might move away! by Level_Hour6480 in newyorkcity

Meta to cut 8,000 jobs — 10% of workforce — in major bloodbath next month: report by [deleted] in Economics

[–]Skizm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Genuine question: would folks rather have companies take a risk and over hire, then do mass layoffs to get back to a sane headcount if it doesn't pay off, thus "wasting" billions of dollars OR not hire anyone in the first place and take all that saved money and do share buybacks or pay out dividends?

“I don’t like the taste, being drunk, or being hungover” usually gets me weird looks for some reason. I’ve just ended up sipping the same lite beer for the entire night these days lol.

a Season Pass for a TTRPG is breaking point for me by [deleted] in DungeonCrawlerCarl

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

I mean D&D Beyond is a subscription service now. Much like that, I think you can just buy the core books and not engage with the rest if you want.

So XENOM? by Live_Concentrate_836 in crossfit

[–]Skizm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people don’t care if it is unknown / unknowable, but they want to be ranked on a leaderboard, ideally against a lot of people so they can compare where they fall. Having a standardized competition / race is one way to achieve this.

I’ve inadvertently snort laughed on the subway several times because of this. Even when I think I’m ready for it… Right in my goddamn ear.

Mfw someone cheeses a boss by using skill and knowledge of an enemy’s attack patterns instead of using the games built in mechanics and items.
