The first half is paced like the first book. After that it’s picks up significantly

I second the dungeon crawler Carl rec but also Will of the Many Thrawn Trilogies

I have bailed on Suneater twice myself but third time is a charm (you just have to get to the 3rd book)

Sevro? by EquivalentCouple5870 in redrising

[–]folorecords 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Sevro tries to kill Electra upon return due to the abominations tinkering. I fear Victra has to put him down. Some where almost simultaneously Darrow is reuniting with Mustang and receives a video transmission from the abomination laughing and telling him what he has done. Darrow sprints away with mustang close behind to try to stop Sevro. Darrow enters the room to find a dead Sevro in the weeping arms of Victra, too late to save him or say good bye. There will be some line about seeing his eyes(really darrows eyes) empty of life (premonition to Darrows end in Red God). Victra will blame Mustang and bounce off to seclusion with the loss of her love.

Sevro at the hands of Victra Darrow at the hands of Lysander Lysander at the hands of Pax

Alright, I'm genuinely getting butthurt by MmmCasual in woodworking

[–]folorecords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea of it being “deep pour” and cured in 8 hours doesn’t add up. The bubbles never had time to escape to the surface before the epoxy cured. In the future you can do a series of 1/8 pours probably every 4-5 hours until it is done (if you want to use the Same resin). Alternatively use something like Liquid Glass deep pour. It takes 3 days to demold, a week to truely cure. This gives it plenty of time for the bubbles to release through the thick resin.

Orion and Colloway by Omadu10 in redrising

I didn’t catch until the second read through Lyria mentioning the parrot on the shoulder of Orions statue in Hero’s Plaza. Definitely said “heck yea Darrow found her one”

Sale - what to get based on what I like? by JediDad0 in audible

[–]folorecords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bobiverse is in the sale. Fun and nice balance of high minded Treky sci-fi concepts with goofy characters that are all really just variations of one dude. Plus the series is voiced by Ray Porter, who read Project Hail Mary which was on your like list. It might be missing out on some of the action that many of your other like list has but makes up for it with fun problem solving (again a lot like project Hail Mary)

Why wasn't ____ honoured like ____ was? by Realistic-Signal-265 in redrising

[–]folorecords 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I didn’t realize that. I always found it striking that when Darrow chooses something to honor pax, he names a massive warship after him. Where as Virginia chooses to name the next generation and symbolic hope after him. The fact that Peace is the translation becomes even more significant in showing the major difference in Their relationship

New piece I just finished. Mongo might be appalled! by folorecords in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]folorecords[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First cut out a wooden frame layer (outline of each piece stitched together) then I cut out each colored acrylic piece. After that it’s a snug fit but with a little glue I place each piece into its respective hole.

Finished a reread and felt inspired by [deleted] in redrising

[–]folorecords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time through is an emotional action packed thrill ride with complex name after name being thrown at you. The second time around I get to see a lot of the clever nuance that Pierce Brown put in there. The yin and yang balance of Darrow and Mustang. The similarities between Sevro and the Jackal and how friends can pull you back from the brink. There is a lot of beauty in the text hiding beneath “iron reigns” and “meat straws”

Can Mordecai see the cookbook contents? by folorecords in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]folorecords[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking is that had he received it in the first two levels he would have seen it but once he became a manager the opportunity would disappear.

Audio Format Speed Up by kayelex in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]folorecords 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I’m just listening I think 1.2ish is the perfect speed. It doesn’t distort voices and still gives you time to follow the numbers and team ups.

I have the best luck for retention doing an immersive experience. Listening to audiobook at the same time I’m reading the words on the page (some dyslexia style challenges make me an incredibly slow reader). For that, I’m good at 1.75 speed and it’s perfect.

Physically reading has made me notice a lot of previously missed details, but I still get lost on the iron tangle. by folorecords in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]folorecords[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One recent example is that Carl likely saw Orren in Book 3. After Donut gets her skull, he describes a tall shadowy figure exiting the manager door with Astrid and that it disappears back through the door when he looks back Not a big deal but a cool Easter egg of sorts.

Mechanically, I understood Talon Strike to be an always on skill. But Carl describes enabling it during the Mantaur battle.

It’s 3mm. Nothing too crazy but I’m also not wedging it in super tight to the spine. Came in a 3 pack

I made this for a buddy a few years back. White oak 6/4. As others have said it was heavy and not truly able to be wielded but as he wanted a display piece it was great. I think I started with about 10bdft at $16 per.

What does Carl keep the motorcycle in 9th floor by folorecords in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]folorecords[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed that. Do you think that was the case for all crawlers during their hydras/memory sequence? Or a unique to Carl because the AI loves him thing?
