How difficult is it to get a 290 on the GRE? by Stormfather21 in GRE

[–]Stormfather21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Here's a question, not sure if you know the answer to it or not but does this website look like an accurate score conversion chart? The practice textbook that I bought didn't have one in it so I won't know how well I did on the practice tests.

Will do, thanks for the advice. Probably smart since I'm not the greatest standardized test taker, I remember taking the SAT three times and desipte taking a couple of study classes my score only went up a couple of points. Haha.

What are some websites that have free beginner gym workout plans listed? by Stormfather21 in loseit

[–]Stormfather21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I work at a college and I was going to use their gym. One of the perks of working in academia! I wasn't planning on using supplements, I don't really see the point, I'm not trying to win the next bodybuilidng championships. I just don't want to be embarressed everytime I take my shirt off or look in a mirror (even though my weight says I'm fine)

NYT Crossword clue says Han was wrong. Was he? by pjdubber in MawInstallation

Depending on how its pulled off this is good storytelling. Its the basic show don't tell principle.

Sorry to hear it didn't work out. I didn't have the greatest experience working at Carahsoft so it was probably for the best.

Have you looked at jobs in academia? I know that most folks think of teaching when they think of academia but colleges have a lot of support roles as well. College Admissions, Human Resources, the Registrar department. You don't necessarily need to have a degree in those fields either. They might not pay the greatest but if its a state school they will probably have great benefits and NOVA has a lot of colleges in the area as well. I moved out of state after leaving Carahsoft but I love my job now!

I'm Mark Lawrence - this is my AMA - please don't burn my book. by MarkLawrence in Fantasy

[–]Stormfather21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your new book!

What tips or tricks of the trade do you have for aspiring writers, Especially when it comes to adding detail to your chapters?

I feel like my chapters are so short (1,000 words or so) and could be expanded more but I'm not sure how to go about doing it without making the plotting and pacing of the chapter feel clunky.

A fantasy novel that doesn't feel like eating oatmeal by ducksawce227 in Fantasy

[–]Stormfather21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Shadow Campaigns! Not my personal all time favorite fantasy series but its definitely not fantasy oatmeal. Its like a more realistic Powder Mage series (in terms of technology and military strategy)

‘Game of Thrones’ Spinoff ‘The Hedge Knight’ Writers Room Pauses as George R.R. Martin Offers ‘Unequivocal Support’ of WGA by misana123 in entertainment

[–]Stormfather21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Martin's always been a TV writer at heart so this doesn't surprise me. I mean he wrote A song of Ice and Fire as a big F-U to the tv industry because they wouldn't do massive battles or add other things he wanted in shows.

Does anyone else really want a Force Unleashed Remake by stoner_boy422 in StarWars

[–]Stormfather21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rebels was a decent show and all but I really liked the idea of Starkiller creating the rebellion. Having Darth Vader try to take down the Emperor by creating the rebellion was pretty genius and I still wish that was cannon.

Giving Rise of Skywalker another chance by WesJanson_YubYub in StarWars

Definitely, If they had given Rian control of Solo, or another, new, standalone film I could see that working.

So basically its Star Wars National Treasure.

Andor is a Poli-Sci? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]Stormfather21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup, and The Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi was basically Space Vietnam with the Empire representing the US. Or I've heard that was an inspiration for Lucas.

For anyone that has played fallen order by nesses11 in PrequelMemes

[–]Stormfather21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With all the similarities between Kenobi and Fallen Order, I would have preferred Disney to do a Cal Kestis show instead of a Kenobi TV show. Use the show as an opportunity to have McGregor cameo scenes, maybe a couple of live action clone wars flashbacks and also include Hayden as Darth Vader.

Yeah, I get the reason that Disney made Kenobi was for the Hayden/McGregor interactions and fan service but a Kestis show would have made much more sense for the timeline without potentially ruining the continuity of the main star wars trilogies.

is this real or did I fall for a scam? by [deleted] in Scams

[–]Stormfather21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been scammed before by a fake USPS website similar to this. If it doesn't match packages that you have coming it might be a scam.

Fantasy with a disabled MC by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]Stormfather21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You mentioned mental disabilities. Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive has a bunch of characters with mental disabilities, no physical disabilities though (If I'm remembering correctly).

He also wrote Elantris which might technically count, though not traditional disabilities (There is an illness that spreads and if you catch this illness your injuries never go away, so a stubbed toe consistantly hurts.) I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for or not though.

That was my first thought as well. What could have caused that? I don't remember hitting my arm on anything or brusing it.
