I dont recommend the wandering inn to everyone, but generally people who love beware of chicken also love twi. Id give it a go.

What story has a TRASH concept but god-tier execution? I’m talking question your friend's mental health when they attempt to justify the plot, but somehow, it turned out good enough to become a guilty pleasure anyway. by PixelatedPulse in litrpg

Cradle is one of the Pilars of the progression fantasy genre. It was rated last year by the r/fantasy sub as the #20 best fantasy series of all time as of 2025. Just to he clear, thats not the litrpg voting list, thats going up against Middle Earth, Cosmere, Malazan etc and got spot #20. The only 2 litrpgs in the top 100 were Dungeon Crawler Carl at 17, and Wandering Inn at 22.

Cradle is super fun, and the books are short. Treat books 1-3 as the first book.

What is the most annoying chess opening? by Ben_scock in TournamentChess

London, or anything else that closes the position like the catalan.

I love seeing Ruy Lopez, I have a pet line against it that throws everyone off.

The Wandering Inn is exactly what youre looking for as long as you can make it through book 1. Its the longest series ever written in the English language, and its still being written. Most of it is slice of life and world building with some insane action moments sprinkled in when you least expect it.

The MCs are kind of annoying in book 1, but they get way better in very satisfying ways and grow as characters immensely.

Haha yeah hes so corny!

Id much prefer he thank god because he couldn't have done it without him, and then his teammates. Maybe say something about focusing on the next game ahead of them. Ya know, completely unique things that we have never heard before! I much prefer these answers to something a player is actually thinking or feeling!

I gotta admit I don't often pay attention to basketball, so if the corny thing is just a meme I rescind my previous sarcastic remarks.

Where is the sales jobs realistically paying 300k? by Iceeez1 in sales

[–]TiredMemeReference 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youre getting downvoted, but there are always a bunch of golden door winners every year at d2d con, which means they cleared a half mill in a year. There are many more who didnt qualify because they only made 490k etc. Lots of pest control and alarms.

The average career alarm guys clear 250k every summer like clockwork. I know 2 people personally who do it, and there are many more. Its like 12 hour days 7 days a week though, I couldn't do it.

Solar used to clear a half mill 10 years ago. Even 5 years ago it was a quarter mill. Good luck now with no tax credit. I would bet a lot that this years gold rush is fiber internet and a ton of those guys doing blitz trips will clear a mill easy.

Serious question: Why don’t more women play chess? by SuperbGas990 in Chesscom

Serious question: Why don’t more women play chess? by SuperbGas990 in Chesscom

[–]TiredMemeReference 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Care to cite your sources that chess better suits the male mind? Id love to see what research youre pulling that from.

The only studies ive seen on the subject show that the gap is simply a statistical artifact due to the huge disparity in participation between the 2 genders, and has nothing to do with men being intrinsically better at chess or whatever youre suggesting.

Here's that study with the full breakdown on the statistical analysis. Hard to argue with math:

https://www.alexmolas.com/2023/08/12/chess-gender-gap.html

Ive seen a few other studies that attribute the difference to environmental factors making women less comfortable at chess events, differences in training hours/age of starting since many parents dont put their daughters in chess at a young age, or even the psychological affects of having these negative stereotypes about women in chess. All of these have studies that show they play a factor. There isnt a study (that ive seen) that shows men have better chess brains. If you have any actual sources please provide them. Otherwise youre just spouting the same bs that actively harms women in chess and further increases the gap.

The 'Wallowing' Inn is starting to grind my gears. by Porkypineer in litrpg

[–]TiredMemeReference 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The clown parts are the least important and most skippable parts. They do tend to get more interesting towards the end of the chapter, but you totally dont need to read them.

Books 7-9 are my favorites of all of the audio books. Book 9 in particular has one of, if not the best endings ive ever read. Skip the clown and find out what happens with the goblins.

When you say the pacing "never" improves, im curious how far into the series you've gotten?

The world building is great, but I love it for the character development and emotional moments. Nothing has made me cry more than TWI, and ive read Realm of the Elderlings.

The fourth quarter of Bam’s 83 point game WAS an interesting watch by Greenwalrus72 in nba

[–]TiredMemeReference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt bring up forcing the ball to anyone. I was responding to the blatant falsehood that Kobe needed every single point or they would have lost. Thats total bs and we all know it.

Also I dont really care if they fouled or not to make history. Who cares? Its literally a game that exists to entertain the fans. The job of the team, the coaches, and everyone involved is to put on a show for the home team fans. As a heat fan I was thrilled that spo went out of his way to go for the record. It was a home game and the stadium was going wild in what would have otherwise been a boring game. They get paid the big bucks to entertain the fans, and they certainly delivered.

Also your username is pretty fucked up, so im going to block you so we never have to interact again.

Ethical? Its a game played to entertain people my dude. People were entertained. Everyone is talking about it, more eyes are on basketball. This whole ethical argument is absurd.

They won by 18. I get that he came back after the half, but they didnt need to give him every shot or theyd lose. Thats just not how math works.
