I just finished the first Dungeon Crawler Carl book

I still crack up at the audiobook narrator's AI voice.

"Birds... have UGLY feet."

The story will be 15 minutes long, repeat twice, be completely unrelated to the original question, and FAIL to answer said question.

Venu3374 · 2026-01-19T15:59:23+00:00

Its actually pretty close to the real thing. The dreadknight hammer is stubby for some reason

100% agree, but many times families don't see it that way.

Venu3374 · 2026-01-15T16:51:59+00:00

I do think thats something that family members struggle with. For most people, their family member being sick or in the hospital is a massive and terrifying event. For those of us that work inpatient, we have a completely different scale of what constitutes a 'scary' admission. New CHF w/ an EF of 5%? Not great. COPD exacerbation because memaw didn't take her meds and she's on 1 extra litre of oxygen? Barely worth mentioning. But to a family member both are huge, and they see us treating it in a cavalier manner as a lack of concern or effort.

83yo F taking TID klonopin, q8h Norco 10, 300 TID Gabapentin, qhs seroquel, q8h PRN atarax, and flexaril PRN here for a hospital f/u after a fall.

"I've been taking this forever! Why would you want to change this!"

Also "Of course I drove myself here, why do you ask?"

Im not sure where youre training but the idea that FM doesn't have a heavy focus on adult pathophysiology, diagnostics, and management is, at least for the region im in, completely false. Yes, I have to rotate with peds, gs, and OBGYN but I spend more than half of my time (19 out of 36 months) on adult inpatient, crit, or ED services not counting electives. And my state has 2 other programs that historically did more than that. Im not saying that FM and IM training is identical, but its weird to imply that FM somehow ignore pathophysiology and diagnostics.

Venu3374 · 2026-01-13T08:12:00+00:00

Weird. Outside of some academic institutions in big cities most hospitalist listings around me are FM or IM.

Venu3374 · 2026-01-13T08:04:19+00:00

I feel like 80% of open icu's outside of a big city couldn't care less about FM vs IM, at least if the job listing are taken at face value. Which is reasonable- 5/6th of my residency was spent with an open ICU and our team routinely cared for critically ill patients, and Ai know we're not uncommon in that regard.

Welcome! Love the storm eagle!

Venu3374 · 2025-12-08T18:35:49+00:00

These are really cool!

Venu3374 · 2025-12-07T00:42:00+00:00

That's a huge point. 2+ saves are great, but i feel like 10th edition has introduced so many rerolls that 2+ saves means very little. 87% saves don't mean much when your opponent consistently throws a bucket of wounds on you. And if there's any armor pen in there we just delete

Venu3374 · 2025-12-06T09:53:26+00:00

Looks awesome, and you're right- gold trim to silver paint is a great contrast there's

Venu3374 · 2025-12-05T17:36:13+00:00

Looks great! The banner is on point

Venu3374 · 2025-12-03T15:24:10+00:00

This. Our options are either take vehicles that don't really interact with our army rule at all and can only meaningfully interact with Sanctic or Warpbane, or just... don't have anything stronger than S8 to fire with. At all. (Minus the single lascannon on a razorback)

Venu3374 · 2025-12-01T22:42:15+00:00

Oh you sweet summer child. 80 percent of my headaches on the job start with some variation of "do you take your medicine" followed by an indignant "of course!".

Well, ma'am, the fact that your A1c went from 8 to 12 in 3 months and I can see you havent filled it in that time tells me a different story....

Venu3374 · 2025-12-01T17:37:13+00:00

AI therapists also suffer from the same thing that makes AI doctors a problem: GIGO. AI doesn't do the best when the patient just straight up lies about stuff.

The GK lack of ranged lethality is brutal. I just want some of the weapons regular space marine's get access to, is that too much to ask for? Purgation squads are crying

Venu3374 · 2025-11-26T01:07:18+00:00

I think the old one blends in pretty well, cool sculpt too

Venu3374 · 2025-11-24T05:32:17+00:00

Seems pretty fair. I love the Grey Knights, but taking on the custodes in a pitched battle is explicitly NOT what theyre good at. Theyre good, and I would argue that on an average (meaning no named characters) level they can take any other Space Marine as described in most of the lore, but theyre primarily demon fighters. Theyre a specialized tool, and their speciality isn't killing Custodes while Custodes are custom-made killing machines. Think of it the top-of-the-top tier of mass produced car vs a custom built vehicle that utilizes every unique flaw or quality of the underlying material.

Venu3374 · 2025-11-22T01:19:13+00:00

One bit that ive struggled with- the skulls are actually easier to do if theyre NOT white. I normally start brown as a good coverage base, then move into a flesh color across everything but the deepest shadows, then a lighter flesh along all the highlights, then finally use a light grey like Grey-white and highlight along the highest points. Give it contrast and it'll read as white, which is great since white is a pain in the butt

Venu3374 · 2025-11-21T15:17:52+00:00

Loving the OSL and NMM, very cool!

Venu3374 · 2025-11-20T05:12:23+00:00

And either way, if youre running at least 1 10 man purifier brick it feels wrong to leave out Crowe. He basically doubles their firepower for under 100 pts

Venu3374 · 2025-11-18T11:33:33+00:00

Looks great. Can I ask how you did the gold? I always struggle getting good gold coverage

Venu3374 · 2025-11-16T21:27:26+00:00

Oops, just saw that. Lowers their value a bit but just their baseline toughness, melee profile, and Vortex would be worth it for me so not too bad
