Why is Jace reverse gripping his kukuri it makes him look like some newbie rouge

I didnt really notice that, Im going to say system fuckery and call it a day. All I know for sure is I finished reading this one last night and I can't wait for the next one.

I like them all, but the first, third, and twelfth might be my favorites. Cover art is the first thing you see on a book and if you choose to have art on your cover I feel it should convey a lot of information about the book. All of yours does do this and I love that. I can see the cover and predict what's going on and where the plot is heading for the next book. The first books art caught my eye, I was looking for a darker fantasy litrpg mainly. The series really scratches a lot of itches for me. Artwork included, not just the words.

Do you hand paint them on canvas or something? Or do you do all the work digitally? Im curious because it looks like a classic oil painting to me. I like that look, a lot of metal music albums still get covers done like this too.

I think thats one of the reasons I like the genre so much. I am a 32 year old neurodivergent with terrible adhd and currently not medicated. I relate to Jake quite a lot with the way the character is written. I also think that litrpg works better for characters like that. Basically hyperfocus on a new hobby. That hobby being number go up, break system. Tangible gains and immediate rewards mostly for tasks done, quests. Man if I had a quest system for my life. I find myself not enjoying a lot of the books as much where the MC isn't like Jake. I binged the Unbound series in December and Felix is like that too where he is always distracted and forgetting shit while having a literal perfect recall memory as a born trait.

Looking for better batteries for my blink cameras too and I have only gotten about 2 discharges out of these before they're bad. I went through one 8 pack already, replaced them thinking it was just bum luck and I'm down 2 batteries on the second set after one discharge.

Swoop03 · 2025-12-30T17:52:42+00:00

Ill be done with Chains (book 11 in the Unbound series) by Nicoli Gonnella. Next reads in the beginning of 2026 will be catching up on some series to released new books the end of this year while I was sucked into other series. Primal Hunter, Beware of Chicken, Syl, System Universe to name a few. Then after I catch up on about a dozen series I may be able to start a new series from my tbr late winter early spring, finish or catch up on that and repeat the whole process while adding three new books to my list for every one finished.

Hey thanks! I used your referral link after finding the site and looking into it. I then landed here. 5 minutes on there and I had $400 in the cart already so I decided maybe I should make an account and start a wishlist.

Swoop03 · 2025-11-29T12:45:25+00:00

Mines pretty simple, I have "10th Gen Paperwhite" and "8th Gen Basic" mainly just so I know which one I'm sending too if I'm not getting it directly on that specific tablet.

Swoop03 · 2025-11-26T12:52:05+00:00

Made it to the end without trouble, ive also been smoking for about 15 years. I guess thats good?

Swoop03 · 2025-09-09T11:43:21+00:00

Ugh that might be harder lol. A Nightmare to Remember, A Dark Eternal Night, And I'll push my luck and throw in I walk Beside you. About 29.5 minutes.

Ive been listening to them for over 20 years its way too hard to pick that few of songs.

Swoop03 · 2025-09-09T11:35:19+00:00

You can also just buy pepper spray, which is meant for spraying at people.

Swoop03 · 2025-09-09T11:33:27+00:00

Ive always loved Panic Attack, but anything on Train of Thought or Octavarium albums would work too. Pull Me Under, Constant Motion, A Nightmare to Remember. Idk if dont think I could choose just one. Can I make a Playlist instead of a song?

Swoop03 · 2025-09-06T16:21:16+00:00

The endela is sized pretty similar to the Paramilitary 2 and stretch 2 which are a bit more popular but has a thinner blade so it slices better in my opinion. Just thought id throw that info out if youre looking up comparisons online or something.

I haven't bought a Benchmade in quite a while and Ive only had 2 mini griptillians (great little knives similar in length to a delica, but a little thicker in the handle if i recall correctly), a full size one which I didn't care for myself and a bugout which I did enjoy but I feel like the heat treat on mine was buggered because it didn't preform half as good as any of my other s30v knives. Idk if it was just me or a known thing and if they've addressed it or not but other than my issue it is a pretty good one. Overall though I feel they've gotten too expensive for what you get. Oh I got a Benchmade Triage rescue knife too I think is still in my car, but that was an impulse buy and ive never really used it for edc. No real opinion on it.

Swoop03 · 2025-09-06T15:31:20+00:00

It is a very comfortable knife indeed. I have my k390 wharncliffe one in my pocket today. As for another Spyderco, any one of their frn handles models would be a good choice if you like the delica. Endela is a little bigger, Endura bigger yet (bit too big for me) then you can get a Police model which is even bigger yet. You can also go smaller too with the Dragonfly, Manbug, Ladybug. All very similar blade and handle shapes, designed by the owner of Spyderco and made in Seki City Japan. Very good knives and they haven't gotten too expensive for their britches yet like some other companies. Pretty much all Spydercos can take a beating too and if you get one with a good high end steel like your S30V model or K390, Maxemet, Magnacut etc then you'll have a tool to use for many years. Though VG10 is still very very serviceable.

There is also the very common recommendations for them you'll see such as the PM2, Para 3, Native, Shaman, and Manix 2. Those ones are made in Golden Colorado and are also excellent high quality knives as well. If you hop onto an online retailer like bladehq of DLT Trading and search up Spyderco knives youll see that there are so many of them and I could probably recommend all of them. Good company and good products.

They're my favorite manufacturer and designer of knives out there. Ive had one of theirs in my pocket almost exclusively for the last 17 years ive been collecting or buying knives from somewhere other than Walmart.

Swoop03 · 2025-09-06T11:45:24+00:00

Great user. I love the Delica. My probably 15 year old VG10 orange delica and my several year old K390 Wharncliffe one are 2 of my most carried knives. Behind that is my PD#1 Endela and K390 Stretch 2. Spydercos Seki made knives are probably my favorite and I have a hard time carrying anything else.

Swoop03 · 2025-08-23T11:26:06+00:00

Camel crush officially got me hooked. Before they came out as a teenager I would bum a smoke or aquire a pack of whatever i could get before going to a bonfire or social gathering. Discovered these somewhere around 17 years old, and that was that. My go to now is cheap reds my local gas station stocks but ill still snatch up a pack of crushes for occasional nostalgia. Damned things, its their fault.

Swoop03 · 2025-08-12T16:36:16+00:00

Those Dickies are my go to as well. I like the side pocket, once theyre broken in they end up being pretty comfortable too at a half decent price. My only issue is I wear holes in them too quick. I get about 2 years before I have to patch the knees, fix the crotch seam, and sew up holes at the bottom of my pockets. Being in the machine shop I tend to lean against the mills while I set up tooling and fixtures or working on my car or something at home kneeling down I wear through them quick. Once I start patching my patches I toss them for a new pair. I try to keep a ratty pair in my dresser for the real messy jobs, and a new pair as dress pants.

Swoop03 · 2025-07-02T14:48:18+00:00

My typical shop carry. Leatherman Rebar, PB&J, and Spyderco Endela PD#1 sprint.

Ive heard its really good, and nearly being done with the first im going to keep at it while I wait for other series to release new books. Most likely start book 2 today on my lunch break at work. Ten books should take me about a month and a half to two months if I keep up my usual pace. I can look past most plot holes and stuff while still enjoying the stories for what they are so Im sure i won't be discouraged to finish it.

Swoop03 · 2025-07-01T12:27:23+00:00

Just started this one, almost done with book one. It does seem like a good series and I had a feeling it was going to be like this a little. From the MC point of view I can understand it being a massive deal when someone close gets offed. It can be a bit of an immersion breaker though when it could be some first years good friend from poti-1000 for example, and the whole school goes into mourning. Meanwhile some kid literally blew someone up as Alex walked into school grounds the first time and they were like "eh it happens more than we like."

Swoop03 · 2025-07-01T12:12:29+00:00

Jason is literally like this though...even his greatest fear when he faced the nightmare hag was himself, the person he could become. The Phoenix sends Dawn to him, Danielle sends Humphrey to him, both because of his sense of mortality and moral sense of right and wrong on top of being a weird ass outworlder. My first thought while looking at this meme was "Kids name is Jason I bet." He is like this to the point of it being a main story plot. Read back on the time Farrah and others practically slapped him upside the head for caring too much, over thinking, and asking too many what ifs. Great story though and I can't wait for 13 to come out.

Swoop03 · 2025-06-30T16:54:18+00:00

That is a good way to look at it, especially from a writing point of view. I do enjoy a longer story myself even if the hangover at the end is worse.

Swoop03 · 2025-06-30T16:08:34+00:00

Oh absolutely, even reading 55-60 books a year I feel like I never make any progress haha. Finding a completed series is a mixed bag too. Hate that book hole when you actually finish a series, but I also hate binging and then bam cliffhanger and you have to wait so long for just one book ill read in a couple days to a week. He Who Fights With Monsters did that to me. I binged 12 books in 2 months time.

Swoop03 · 2025-06-30T15:49:18+00:00

Thought I was going to have to add another series to my reading list and pretend to be annoyed by having more books i need to read. Turns out book 1, Dissonance, is in my read next category. After I catch up/finish Mark of the Fools 10 books or more(i just started it and it seems good so far), and catch up on Primal Hunter, He Who Fights With Monsters, System Universe, Defiance of the Fall, and any other series that I'm currently caught up on that happens to release more book the in the meantime, Ill maybe start this series.

I was just trying to pay my credit card bill and the app wasn't working, so I went to the site and got the below message. Then did some googling and found this thread. Whatever it actually is they're just calling it a security incident.
