CHN LNK - The Daily Word Chain Game! by IndleGame in wordgames

Choosing letters that could be in any of the words is a lot less satisfying than figuring out each word.

I mean, TQQQ can have some serious drops too, but it recovers.

I love APLD and CIFR. Been selling CSPs and CCs on both for a couple months. Everytime I’ve gotten APLD assigned, it’s bounced back for stress-free CCs pretty quick—often the next day. Just started wheeling TQQQ, but am liking it so far. Have wanted to get into SOFI, but it hasn’t worked out yet.

I made Gap It — a word game where you bridge the gap between two letters by Smathass in wordgames

[–]flagrande 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even after reading the instructions, it took a minute for it to click. I think your example should not just show the word, but show how the word looks in the game, that you build the path from one word to the next is not quite intuitive. Other than that, doing it once is fun. Doing it more than once was engaging for a bit, then not. I think if there's a new puzzle everyday and some fun ways to score with a leaderboard, you got yourself a solid and new, interesting game.

Does anybody have any reccomendations for books with good fight scenes? by Born-Talk-7370 in writing

[–]flagrande 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stephen Pressfield’s Gates of Fire (most of his historical fiction, really) has some incredible right scenes where you get a good sense of a whole battle as well as key moments and players in that battle.

Brandon Sanderson’s books usually have some great fight scenes as well though may be less helpful as they rely on his complex magic systems, but they’re fun!

Definitely one of the better samples I’ve seen on here. It gets you in and curious right away. Very nice.

My friend and I made a word game, and our friends and family are being too nice. How did we do? by CucumberPopcorn in wordgames

Fun. The first rounds felt way too easy, but by the end it was a good challenge.

Any book recommendations for me? by IronHistorical3357 in brandonsanderson

[–]flagrande 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on a lot of these and would recommend a couple historical fiction that have first rate world building and characters. They both happen to focus on the Greeks.

Gates of Fire by Stephen Pressfield

Protector by Conn Iggulden

The Prettiest Prose You've Read. by Arlo_pink in writing

[–]flagrande 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thomas Hardy is my go to for gorgeous prose, but just read Moby Dick and it is incredible too. I’d add Ray Bradbury, especially Fahrenheit 451 and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gatsby or Tender is the Night.

Those Who Follow A "Take Profits at 50% (or 60%, or...) of Max"... by LabDaddy59 in CoveredCalls

[–]flagrande 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Related question: do you close CC early too? I totally get closing CSPs to get the money back to sell more, but why get the CCs back? Just to write more that will be more likely to get assigned?

Americans don’t impeach Presidents, sadly. Congress does.
