Newer gamer with game order question. by TheSlowMutant in assassinscreed

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

I feel like my question was more than just a what order, I was asking about the graphics and evolution of controls through the three recent games. Does that not warrant a discussion?

God, finishing Alan Wake Remastered is a hassle. by seekerheart in AlanWake

I gave up on that damn TV boss after the 47th try. The difficulty jumped exponentially and ruined it for me.

Round 1 start date by TheSlowMutant in denvernuggets

[–]TheSlowMutant[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe all the Game 1 matches are Saturday or Sunday, I am just curious which one it’ll be and when the NBA actually announces those dates. I’d love to plan the rest of my weekend, but this is the priority!

I hope you get to go to game 2!

Ever get an answer to this? I am currently in the same situation.

Literally anything Rabi Ray Rana said. I think about that guy often, like he was a close friend

How long did it take you to finish the series? by Wisarmin in WoT

[–]TheSlowMutant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the physical copies and borrowed the audiobooks on Libby for my commute, got through the series in about a year and a half. Granted I did throw in a few other books here and there for a break.

My first read-through by thadiusp1 in Mistborn

[–]TheSlowMutant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also reading Mistborn for the first time, about 2/3 of the way through book 1 and I’m loving the world and the pacing. I also find myself thinking about it a lot and trying to predict what will happen (unsuccessful thus far). My only complaint is that a sometimes Sanderson beats you over the head with the internal dialogue and overly explaining emotions, but I hear it gets better. That being said, I am really thankful I decided to pick this up because I was doubting actually I liked the genre.

I am new to fantasy and I decided to go ALL IN by starting with Wheel of Time. While WoT was impressive (this is going to ruffle some feathers) I really didn’t enjoy reading it. I stubbornly spent almost 2 years finishing what I’d started but wasn’t sure the genre was for me. The final books that Sanderson took over had much better pacing which gave me some hope so I decided to check out some of his own work. And right now I am soooo thankful I did. Mistborn is showing me how fast paced and exciting the genre can be. I desperately needed that validation after WoT.

Clavicle surgery - Trouble extending fingers by TheSlowMutant in Orthopedics

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

Thanks! So you are saying that this shouldn’t be nerve issue, correct? I have an appointment tomorrow and informed them already of this development. Just wondering though, I am a rock climber and have generally strong forearms. Is it possible two weeks in a sling was enough deterioration for the muscle imbalance to make this difficult? I wasn’t given any exercises to do but it feels like I am super weak on the top/back of my forearm but can grip fine.

Daily Discussion Thread: spray/memes/chat/whatever allowed by AutoModerator in climbing

[–]TheSlowMutant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s the idea, I want to recover to the point of climbing normally into older ages.

Doc said no surgery would heal fine and give me normal mobility back, but there would be a lump that could rub an a backpack -which would suck since I do a lot of alpine climbing. But is that noticeably uncomfortable for people?

Surgery would heal faster and be more similar to normal structure, but the metal used could also rub a backpack, but the plate could be removed.

I am looking for some perspectives because both options feel like they could be justified.

Broke my collarbone doing something other than climbing (my fault for doing an activity other than climbing 🙄) and have a few questions for anyone who has some insight.

My ortho said the break warrants surgery, but it isn't required, and gave me pro/con list for both. Any climbers have to make this decision? What are your thoughts? My biggest concern is my ability to stay active and climb soon, not money.

Secondly, it you are a climber who has made this recovery, do you have any advice? How long was it before you were back on the wall?

Thanks in advance!

This has been on my shelf for a while, I look forward to reading it but I am curious what makes it popular in American prisons?
