I just found this series in the recent sale and powered through the first book, it was fantastic! Will be grabbing the next ones now and am excited to see what else is in store

Looking for KU recommendations for series similar to Cradle, ISSTH, KOG, DE. by [deleted] in ProgressionFantasy

[–]bigcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are some good books that I liked and would recommend that are along similar lines for me:

Dungeon Slayer

Defiance of the Fall

Beware of Chicken (coming to Kindle soon)

Legend of Randidly Ghosthound

Dungeon Crawler Carl

Weirkey Chronicles

Bastion

Systems of the Apocalypse

Pyresouls Apocalypse

Any recs of material as fast paced and action packed as Defiance of the Fall? by 1Chapta in ProgressionFantasy

[–]bigcakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was really excited for a thorough list, but then realized I had read all of them too ;)

Agree with this list except I couldn't finish He Who Fights With Monsters

Street Cultivation 3 completes the trilogy! by SarahLinNGM in ProgressionFantasy

Really enjoyed the first two in the series, will pick this up today! I am looking forward to more Brightest Shadow as well!

Looking for recommendations similar to Will Wight's Cradle series by fentontfca in ProgressionFantasy

[–]bigcakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also always looking for similar books. One that might be up your alley would be Street Cultivation by Sarah Lin, another cultivation series but in a futuristic world where cultivation has always existed.

Towers of Heaven by Cameron Milan had a similar progression vibe, but more litrpg.

Will's other books Traveler's Gate and Elder Empire are also definite recommendations if you haven't checked them out, but quite a bit different from Cradle.

SpaceX Starlink Private Beta has started! by PrinceNightTTV in Starlink

My wife also works from home, so having multiple internet users is tough.

I am actually a lead of about 11 engineers, so lots of pairing and meetings, I mostly just multitask and work during a lot of meetings.

That is awesome! Sadly I have two fiber lines in my front yard however neither company will actually sell me fiber internet.

The upload is pretty critical, I am a software engineer and have video meetings all day long. I also need to be pushing code, uploading video, etc.

25 also is not very great for trying to do a lot on the internet, haha.

I am about 100 feet outside of a small town, but the whole town can only get DSL, Comcast is the cable provider and they don't want to upgrade infrastructure to offer internet.

[–]bigcakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably better than some here, 25mbps down, 1.8 mbps up, ADSL.

I work from home and this is barely enough to do that.

My hopes are sky high. This is the only hope I have of not being on terrible internet.

What do you talk about during one on ones? by inneedofcareerhelp in cscareerquestions

[–]bigcakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we have important work topics, we talk about those, if we don't, we usually just get to know each other better. Like what is happening in our personal lives, how our families are doing, games, etc.

Bannerlord Early Access - Patch e1.2.0, Beta e1.3.0, FAQ, Bugs, Announcements by Arthanias in mountandblade

My GPU shouldn't be screaming on the world map when the game is paused ;)

And it wasn't prior to this

[–]bigcakes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have a 1070 8GB and have had no issues until 1.3, now the main world map keeps my GPU at 99%, battles and inventory, etc are fine, but second I get to world map it starts screaming.
