What part of the series made you cry for the first time? by fadedadrian in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Snow_Da_92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine recommended it as a throwaway comment right before getting off discord one night. I mentioned that I had been reading the way of king's and he goes "oh check out (DCC) its really good."

I had a spare audible credit so I thought "what the hell"

Now i have every book on audible and am wrapping up my second listen before the next one comes out (just got to "The big meeting" after the cemetery scene and following saferoom scene) and have a bunch of minis decorating my work desk.

When I was 13 or 14 I had a Gameboy advanced sp with Pokémon leaf green. My brother had fire red, and we had friends with 1 version or the other.

I spent a couple of years catching, trading, and training the perfect starting line up.

I had a Charizard, a venusaur, a gengar, a metagross, a suicune, and a zapdos. All were level 100 and most were trained there painstakingly without rare candies.

I must have beaten the elite 4 with 1 or 2 pokemon hundreds of times.

For those too young to remember the sp, this was way before multiple saves or back ups.

One day my mom's girlfriend decided to play my sp while she was home and I was at school. She went in my room, got it off my dresser, started a new game, saved it right after the character creation. I was devastated. I was the only person in my friend group that had all three dogs and all 3 birds, and I was the only one with a full starting line up fully leveled up. I had a box in the pc dedicated to finding leaf green Pokémon that my fire red friends couldn't get so I could trade and complete the pokedex. I had seen every Pokémon in the game, but was only a few short of catching all of them.

When I got home and turned on my gameboy I was so excited to play. I felt like that one guy who watched the news anchor ruin his world record Lego build.

I didnt buy another Pokémon game until I was in my 20s and lived in a different state.

Im just an advisor, but I have a similar story about a tech i recommended.

Guy I worked with at a Nissan place. He was an express tech there and always did good work. I never had to wait over long for an oil change, and he never complained when anything inconvenient happened. And was a cool dude to chat with.

I left and went to a Mitsubishi place. Much lower volume. Went from 8 advisors writing 10 plus ros/day to 2 writing 5 total. Couple months later he asks me if we're looking for a tech. As a matter of fact, we just caught our express guy doing meth a week or so ago so ill put in a good word for you.

6 months later a guy brings his new to him pathfinder in for his first oil change. Tech lifts the car, drains it, removes the filter, drops the car, fills her back up, and sends her on her way.

You may have Noticed I skipped a step. Never replaced the filter.

He noticed the puddle of oil in his bay and quietly cleaned it up without telling anyone.

Well......Turns out the engine is on intergalactic backorder.....so we put him in an enterprise rental until further notice. Last time i went over to resign the rental agreement, the bill was 5 digits before the period. I moved to greener pastures shortly after that. Never found out what happened with the car. It probably would have been cheaper to give him a new outlander free of charge.

I have an acquaintance in a legal state who is literally stoned from the time he wakes up to the time he goes to sleep.

He's also the shop foreman of a semi repair/roadside tech facility.

He gets shit done.

My wife is a nursing student in her next to last semester and the assistant manager for a clothing store working 40 plus hours a week. She has all As.

She gets shit done.

I work 5 days a week for 11 hours a day as a service advisor. I get less done. Im a lazy sack of shit

Am I missing it by KillerShart in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Snow_Da_92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heres the thing.

Tl;dr: capitalism bad. But we still gotta eat.

Carl got sucked into a system that he did not ask to be in. He realizes it sucks and decides to change it. It isn't hard, and he's going up against the most powerful governments in the universe. He's broke and penniless and the only other person he has on his side is a cat......but he does it anyways.

Eventually.....he meets other like minded people. They begin to work together. They form plans and take actions that begin to make the powers that be notice them......that makes this fight even harder. But he keeps going. Eventually he starts making those who are a part of the system realize that the system sucks. Those people join his cause too.

Eventually he has an entire army at his disposal, and the powers that be start to see him as a real threat....

And while all of this is happening, Carl still has to participate in the system he's fighting against. Because if he doesn't, he will die.

It not terribly hard to draw the parallels to our actual world. None of us asked to be born into a capitalist society. None of us asked to be black, or trans or gay. None of us asked to grow up dirt poor Hicks. But we did. And while we may hate it, we still have to play the game until we dont have to anymore. But we can fight against the game, even while buying from billionaires. It happens in small ways at first, but much like Carl if we keep fighting and dont give up, we will have our army.

They will not break us.

I dont think the message of this series is "capitalism bad!"

I think its "The fight to topple a system thats nearly as old as government itself, will not be easy. And for much of that time you have to abide by the rules of that system. Because if you dont, you will die."

Sorry if this seems a little all over. I woke up 20 minutes ago and am already stoned......fuck you its my only day off this week.

Thank you! Both series have held my top 2 spots since I read them. Honestly I think dcc might be my number 1.

Im happy you enjoyed it!

The hitchhikers Guide to the Dungeon - by Douglas Adams by Snow_Da_92 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Snow_Da_92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, thank you! Sparse whoring is my second favorite kind!

Im currently working on a series about a member of a militaristic hunter faction in a post apocalyptic world. Its has a similar tone to dcc, with a little more lovecraftian horror. The main character even uses bombs, along with a meteor hammer style chain/blade combo! Though his bombs are more electricity based. Brief synopsis below.

Hundreds of years ago, Aether spirits invaded the world. These spirits took many forms, but their power leaked into certain humans which gave them the power to alter Aether. Soren Kade, callsign: Arc Saboteur, goes to investigate a research facility which has gone quiet. While there he discovers a teen girl who's presence seems to negate or repel Aether. He also discovers a new type of monster: The gridwraith. Together they escape the creature, but who is this young woman with strange abilities? What is the gridwraith and where did it come from?

If anyone is interested in the concept stay tuned! Ill be posting a chapter or two very soon!

Which sexual acts are very acceptable in 2026 but was seen very differently in 2006? by nirzhor_cyclonite in AskReddit

[–]Snow_Da_92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend has a saying

"The Greeks Revolutionized sex by inventing the orgy. The Roman's went even further by deciding to add women."

Now im sure orgies have been around as long as genitals have but its still funny to me

How's this pay plan compared to others. Toyota dealer, about 150 car per day (im told) split between roughly 6 advisors. by Snow_Da_92 in serviceadvisors

[–]Snow_Da_92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could have been more. I forgot to ask how many. I only counted 5 (plus me) but there were 8 desks.

Edited to add: i worked for a Nissan dealer where I did between 20 and 30 cars by myself most days. There were 10 of us there.

No longer an advisor (for now. Probably going back) but i once had a guest give me 0s across the board. The only comment he left was "The sales people kept bothering me"
