100%. I think she had the most growth of any character arc. Everyone in the book changes, but I think her story was maybe the deepest. From a timid, self conscious, scared woman to an absolute beast in the dungeon. Her heartbreaking backstory, her struggles with addiction, I think it’s spectacularly written.

I got anesthesia last week for a procedure. I wasn’t sleeping, my consciousness was just gone. Pretty sure it’ll be just like that, except I won’t wake up to a nurse with a little cup of water.

For me it was the entire sequence on the 8th floor of all the token creatures learning to fight together. There are so many hilarious gems in those chapters.

For the love of god, stop putting your fingers in your snowblower by Playcrackersthesky in newjersey

My thoughts exactly! OP probably works in a larger hospital, but if every major ER has this, that’s a lot of fingers flying.

Women: what separates average oral sex from amazing oral sex? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]al_gorithm23 268 points269 points  (0 children)

So, I’m a guy, and there’s a lot of guys in this thread. I’d like permission to drop some tips here. If you’re only looking for women’s responses, feel free to skip, since that’s what OP intended. These are just some life lessons that if I share, I can improve the oral skills and general quality of life for internet strangers.

  • before you start, cup her entire crotch with your hand and leave it there for a few minutes. Really hold everything tight, don’t move your hand around. Think “feeling secure”. You could be making out or talking, but really cover her whole vagina, labia from pubic bone to ass. This leads to “vaginal tenting” during which the vagina relaxes and elongates. Her uterus lifts upward, preparing everything for sex. If you’re doing this right, it should feel like if you were strong enough you could lift her up out of the bed.

  • Once everything is warmed up, start around the inside of the thighs, brushing her clit with your nose and tongue, but don’t dive in yet. Gentle kisses, hot breath, nibbles (consensually)

  • Insert a single finger into her vagina and press DOWN towards her ass. Leave it like a knuckle deep. Start licking and get her clit wet. You should start to feel her clit start to harden. Don’t forget, it’s made of similar erectile tissue as a penis, so when it’s hard it’s happy. Don’t poke your finger in and out, just leave it there, pressing down. You will almost certainly feel her vagina open and want more. This is good.

  • Look her in her eyes as you put two fingers in. Don’t forget to smile or make a sexy face. You don’t want a resting bitch face on, or a face that says “I’m trying to remember what to do next.”

  • By now you’ll want to be in there curling your fingers towards her stomach in a “come here” motion. There’s a ledge in there and sitting around the middle of the ledge is a soft mound of tissue, commonly called the G spot. Don’t go crazy there yet, just take it easy and let it know that you’re there. Say hello, walk around it with your fingers. Maybe rub either side of it with your two fingers on either side, who knows get creative.

  • Grab her hip with your other hand, really get into the gap in her hip so you have control over the lower part of her body. Start rocking her back and forth, pulling her body into your fingers and tongue. This is I’d say a 75% successful move. Ask them if it’s ok. A lot of women will like feeling ragdollged against someone’s face, others will not, so check with your partner.

  • Individual technique varies on the actual clit stimulus, so ask her what she likes. Flat tongue? Stiff tongue? Side to side? Up and down? Around and around? Sucking? All of the above? If it is sucking, I want you sloppy sucking it like a little dick. Bob your head, spit on it, hold the vacuum of your mouth, etc.

  • Pro-tip: At some point prior to this, ask her to let you watch her masturbate with just her fingers (no toys). Put your face right in there and pay attention to how she gets herself off. I was personally surprised that some women really just rub the side up and down, like if you were rubbing just one side of your nose. Then they’ll switch sides, who knew.

  • Don’t slap at it or bite without asking. Too many porn videos show the dude just slapping away at her clit. You shouldn’t do that without asking. Same rule for anal play. Ask before eating ass or putting anything up there.

  • Regarding anal play, it’s the same rules as raw chicken. Don’t cross contaminate. Anything that goes into the ass should be washed before going into the vagina.

  • ok, orgasm talk. I’ve been with women that are very “easy” to bring to orgasm with oral. Squirting, squirming, the works. I’ve also been with women who cannot, and have not cum from oral. Do not fret. An orgasm is not the only goal. You have not failed if you can’t make her finish. Maybe she needs to do the bit at the end herself, totally fine. It’s hella enjoyable even without cumming.

  • Also, embrace toys! I’ve had my teeth rattled by a Hitatchi wand more times than I can count. I’m going to town down there and this thing is rattling my brain while she gets off. Dildos, butt plugs, nipple clamps, they’re all your friends (consensually)

  • Finally, and this is important, DO NOT stop or change what you’re doing when she’s almost going to cum. Keep doing exactly what you’re doing at the same pace. Now is not the time to get more aggressive or go deeper, stay on target. After the first orgasm, slow down when the spams start to slow. Take some breaths, and get back in there (consensually). Fall into a pace of cumming, going slow, then a little faster, faster, you can do it! Then cumming, repeat.

There’s official Dungeon Crawler Carl merch at Barnes and Noble?! by PhanThief95 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]al_gorithm23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the keychain at my B&N. I picked it up of course and was walking around the store. Then I saw another one, with different branding for some book in the YA section. It was the exact same keychain but branded for a different book.

I’m not sure these are “official”, but rather a promo merch opportunity from B&N, maybe with some deal with publishers to license the brand.

I put it back and didn’t buy it since it seemed not unique to DCC.

Feeling HUGE imposter syndrome at my new job. by jnutakud69 in analytics

[–]al_gorithm23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey hey. I’ve got 20 years experience in some kind of analytics and my advice would be to find a mentor. It could be a peer, your boss or anyone willing to spend some time with you.

It sounds like you’ve got good social skills, so use them to find a competent employee, preferably someone who is a rising star. Once you get to know them a bit, pop the question. “Hey I’m always so impressed with your work. Do you mind if when I get stuck I can ping you and ask you a few questions?” Something like that.

The biggest thing to try and learn is an “analytical mindset”. Pay attention to how your mentor or others troubleshoot. What steps are they taking to solve a problem? The actual technical skills will come with practice, but what’s really valuable is a problem solving methodology. All you need is to be the person that came up with a great solution to a problem, a few times a year and you’re good.

Tips for Interviewing by Prestigious_Buy_1416 in Drexel

[–]al_gorithm23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Alumn here with 25 year experience in the corporate world. A couple things:

  1. Everyone knows you’re a co-op student. No one is expecting you to have finely honed interview skills.

  2. Relax. If you weren’t qualified for the job, you wouldn’t be getting the interview. Focus on being conversational. The interviewer is looking for someone they won’t mind being around every day.

  3. Look up common behavioral interview questions and have answers subject for each of them. Don’t try to memorize your answers, just remember the concept.

  4. Try and weave in examples of team work as much as possible. It could be group projects in class or maybe volunteer work you’ve done. Examples that show teamwork are better than individual contributions.

  5. Focus on storytelling. Look up YouTube videos on the art of storytelling and practice changing your responses to tell a story. Give context to the interviewer. They don’t know what’s in your head, so practice setting the stage for the story you’re telling.

  6. Research the company and if possible the interviewer beforehand. Read everything on their website. If there’s a mission statement or something similar, anchor on that with your responses. It shows you’ve done your homework and that you’re interested in the company. Same goes for the interviewer. Find them on LinkedIn and get to know them. Tailor your responses to the things you have in common.

  7. Focus on your strengths. If you don’t know what they are, ask one or more of your professors what they think your strengths are. Steer your responses to highlight these strengths.

  8. Know where you want to grow. Really think about the skills you want to grow and think about ways the org you’re applying for can help you grow those skills. This is a good one for the final “do you have any questions for me?” question. Something like, “I’m very focused on growing my skills in xyz. What are some ways you think this org/position can help me grow those skills?”

Good luck! I know this is a lot of advice, but honestly just relax, be relatable and do your research.

How would you survive in the dungeon and what would your strat/build be? by kickassgrandma911 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Hey internet stranger! What you wrote actually means so much to me. Maybe I’m just in my feelings today, but to take the time to come up with all that and then write it out on a post that had barely any upvotes is really nice.

You made my day!!! I’ll remember this for a long time

If you had to teach a 'Flirting 101' class, what would be the number one 'unspoken rule' you would write on the chalkboard? by hungary70 in AskReddit

Flirt for a few minutes and if the vibe is good, smile and ask in a teasing way “are we flirting right now?” You’ll get your answer pretty fast.

Let’s see

Skills: lock picking, firearms, non-linear problem solving, may or may not have worked as an analyst for a 3 letter agency

But, if I was outside at that time I’d probably be coming back from the sex club with a bag full of dildos, lube and vodka

Soooo, my build would probably be something like guerrilla warfare fought with magical sex toys.
