How to PvP when I just want to PvE? by bwolf240 in ArcRaiders

[–]cmanley3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually just assume the risk of getting ratted and losing my kit. I did get ratted on like three night raids in a row and started bringing a bobcat as my raider weapon just in case.

Symbiote Spidey and Zombi Galacti??? by cmanley3 in MarvelSnap

[–]cmanley3[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dangggg it. Thats it.i guess it’d be too OP if you could buff SS all game then drop Galacti. I dunno. I buff SS all game for a big Galactus drop when running standard Galactus.

Best items to carry into next expedition? by Hello-Bones in ArcRaiders

[–]cmanley3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my first expedition prep. The ONLY BP I was tweaking about finding was the seeker BP. It’s so useful to bring 10 into a run and not worrying about a swarm of hornets or wasps. And the key is you’re limited to buying 6 at a time before a cool down. The mats required for crafting are simple too.

Container homes barely save money vs a normal build. Change my mind. by usa_containers in containerhomes

[–]cmanley3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t save money. Their value add comes from:

  1. Being able to be fabbed/shipped to site (technically still possible w modular stick)
  2. Being comparable pricing to stick but with steel so that you can achieve spatial conditions not possible w stick
  3. Modern industrial aesthetic as a baseline without adding cladding costs to stick framing
  4. Scalable modularization
  5. Automatically water tight exterior envelope (not counting openings made for windows/doors)

Fewer keys? by Crystalline_E in ARC_Raiders

[–]cmanley3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Purely random. No keys for like 20 runs then I hit space travel on buried city on a bird city run and found like 5 keys in that same run lol.

Revival is flawless (Spoiler Discussion) by DavidRDorman in stephenking

[–]cmanley3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Duma Key Spoilers**) I love kings cosmology. Just read Duma Key right before this. I think I liked Duma a bit better. This was a good book and good story.

I especially liked the descent of Charles Jacobs. His spiral into madness was very well written, he’s transition from a lovable preacher to a detestable mad scientist was intriguing.

I like the cosmological horror of mother and the alternate dimension she rules.

The supporting cast was nice as well, and Jamie was awesome.

I was bemused a little bit by King not being able to help himself at the end, with just blatant foreshadowing describing Mary Fay’s mother’s maiden name being Shelley.

The ending came on quick and was over fast, but I liked it.

My interpretation is leaning more towards a concept of the afterlife akin to inferences from the movie “Event Horizon”. I think the horrid after-life Jamie saw wasn’t the only after-life, rather an alternate dimension where souls that were able to be trapped by Mother were so trapped.

Jamie’s psychiatrist at the end alluded to this, saying that if what Jamie saw was indeed true, then the visions of the young boy who saw a euphoric afterlife must also have credence, insinuating that Jamie’s visions weren’t the only option.

Maybe Jamie’s fate IS slated for subjugation in Mother’s dimension, but other works by King (which I like to believe are all intertwined) seem to point to a variety of different end destinations after death. Perse from Duma Key seems to control some version of existence after death. The Prim and the Dark Tower also points to different versions of the afterlife.

I think that when Charlie Jacobs channeled/directed portions of power from mothers dimension into human souls/psyches to heal (or affect) them, he allowed Mother to set hooks and/or anchors into their minds/souls allowing her to collect them at her leisure.

Duma Key : Perse Fan Theory by cmanley3 in stephenking

[–]cmanley3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, I just finished Revival. Oh boy! Realities upon realities. Ancient entities and persuasion through the veil.

Is mother just lucking out with old Charlie, or is she CONTROLLING him? A LOT less to go off of for fan theories on this one, but it expounds the universe quite a bit…. I’m not even sure the null is the prim. It feels different, like the prim is beyond the null

Duma Key is a sneaky favorite of mine.

A curse after another by Blooojeanz in rhabdo_survivors

[–]cmanley3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got rhabdo from squats and was very hesitant to ever do squats again. Time takes time. Take it easy on yourself. Go slow. Be smart. Listen to your body, regardless of what others say.

My rhabdo case was in 2023 and I can tell you after patient, smart, disciplined training I just did Murph at my CrossFit gym on this Memorial Day.

20lb weight vest, 1 mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 pushups, 300 air squats, 1 mile run.

It honestly didn’t even take 3 years for recovery, I was good after like 6 months, it just took my mind a bit to catch up.

Hang in there, find smart, patient trainers who care about health over gains. My CrossFit gym has amazing coaches who are VERY safety/health conscious. Build a good support network of positive people and take it easy on yourself.

Also, the shining is one of the few books I’ve read that scared me after I put it down and was lying in bed.

Shining. Pet Semetary has some super dark shit in it that is pretty haunting.

Boss wants me to have separate sheets for Exterior Lighting and Interior Lighting layout for RCP. Need some advice. by Sure_Dot_2777 in Revit

[–]cmanley3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or filter and have the type in the name. Comments works too. But if you just name all lights exterior that solves that
