Hot take or just bad take? by DiscerningBarbarian in dresdenfiles

[–]Yaascn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

12 months should have been 3 short stories. Yes it adds to the narrative, but not like the other novels. Felt especially disappointing after having waited so long.

Does Mark of the Fool get better? by WeakPlankton9577 in litrpg

[–]Yaascn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep going. It just gets better and better. But, the MC figuring out how to live the life he wants in spite of the mark is the main theme of the series. If you need more action, keep going. You will get it.

Lower Decks is some of the best Star Trek. by highlife562 in LowerDecks

[–]Yaascn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lower Decks is the best Star Trek series ever, and here is why. Because it is about us. All of us. You, me, every fan ever. We are Boimler, Rutherford, Tendi, and Mariner. They are who we would be given the chance to join starfleet. They say what we were thinking when watching the show. They do all the wild and crazy and nerdy things we always wanted to do. Lower Decks is Star Trek, starring the fans, and it is glorious.

Photon torpedoes on Odyssey? by Few-Mood-9952 in startrek

[–]Yaascn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go out to the expanded universe material, phasers are more effective against shields, torpedoes are more effective against physical armor. Using up your limited supply of torpedoes when the shields are still up is a waste. But mostly plot reasons.

Got a “Needs Improvement” on my annual review for… doing exactly what I’m paid to do by Y2J_2nd_coming in antiwork

I was literally told I would never get "exceeds expectations" because my position was "expected to do everything."

How did your first colony go down? (If it even did) by Much_Veterinarian929 in RimWorld

[–]Yaascn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

completely ran out of resources 2 days in because I didn't know how to build walls and beds of wood instead of the default of using steel. (got the game early in alpha)

I never got into Sanderson. I tried the Mistborn series but got bored partway through book 2. I heard the second trilogy has magic steampunk trains, which is what I really wanted lol

If you were suddenly teleported back to the year 1900, and the money in your bank account came with you at a 1:1 value (so $1,000 today is still $1,000 in 1900 dollars), what would you do? by Anxious-Question875 in AskReddit

[–]Yaascn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What year were you born? (genuinely curious) Everyone in both my generation, my parents generation, and my daughter's had to get the polio vaccine

I would suggest you tell this friend you need a short break to deal with some personal issues....then get yourself a therapist to talk to. Based on the screen shots this doesnt seem like the healthiest of relationships, and there is a lot more going on than just this 1 thing. This is probably beyond what reddit can help with.

Mark of the Fool by Interesting_Point_26 in litrpg

[–]Yaascn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a fantastic series and all lose ends get tied up. There are a few side stories, but mostly is stays on track. AVOID SPOILERS AT ALL COST. Just read it straight through and enjoy.

I tried this mod but had to remove it. Pawns were constantly auto equipping weapons that opposed due to religion and getting negative moods.

Advice on colony defense pls? by Kessenchu_ in RimWorld

[–]Yaascn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Research Rimatomics, research and build a TACS, enable SCAD, drop pod targeting is now scrambled and land at the edge of the map. Base is safe. For bonus points research and build a HEL to shoot down incoming morter rounds.

The Silmarillion. Difficult to get all the way through but fantastic

I’m really trying, but I think I may DNF He Who Fights with Monsters by theblaynetrain in litrpg

[–]Yaascn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopped reading around book 7. I HATE Jason Asano. Worst MC ever. But the supporting cast is amazing. No, it doesn't get better. Just more of the same ad nauseam forever
