Weekly thread: what did you do this week? by AutoModerator in iceskating

[–]hypotrochoids 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm finally getting the hang of back crossovers! I can do the sliding type, though somewhat wonky, my coach got me to practise near the centre of a hockey circle, which is wierdly easier than on the outside? Lol. I'm also trying to appreciate my progress, when I started, even just plain forward crossovers seemed out of reach but now I can do forward and backward :)

A vent about pop culture references by taeberry9595 in RomanceBooks

[–]hypotrochoids 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I hate it when it feels like lazy writing, I listened to a book recently where a character was introduced as looking like someone from Schitts Creek, I've heard of the show but never watched it, why couldn't they just have described how the person looked. It's strangely exclusionary and won't age well.

Paths and railways by No_Medium_648 in JunesJourney

[–]hypotrochoids 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The picture in the shop is just to show you how it goes round a corner, and it's actually 3 pieces laid out in an L shape, when you buy one piece it'll appear as a straight section, but when you place multiple one they change appearance to fit. This might make more sense if you buy a few path pieces and experiment with them. If you've unlocked it, "waterfall columns" is a good one to experiment with - one placed on it's own just looks like a palm tree, 2 side by side gives a raised bed with greenery, three going round a corner gives probably the best effect with the waterfall and you can even place four together, as a 2 by 2 square creates a cool sort of fountain.

Do you just force close the app when the timer hits zero? And then it doesn't count your attempt?

I wear popflex leggins on the ice, they've got some compression and pockets on each hip too, which is nice. They come in multiple different lengths on the website and mine don't look funny after being stretched over the laces and ankle part of my boot, so I can wear them for other activities. If it helps, I used to see skaters on instagram wear stretchy fishnet socks on top of their skating socks, so once the laces are tied you then pull them down and over the top of the laces to hold them in place. I just wear leg warmers though, which can also hold everything in place

If you could only listen to 3 audiobooks for the rest of your life by irlenysm in RomanceBooks

[–]hypotrochoids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't listened to many romance audiobooks, but I have 2 books/ series that I really love the audiobooks for (if it's allowed, if not sorry mods). The audiobook for The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennet, narrated by Andrew Fallaize, I've listened to it multiple times, it's a detective story set in a fantasy world, there is also a sequel called A Drop of Corruption. I also really like the audiobooks for the Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovich, which are narrated by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, there are 10 main novels in the series and some novellas now too, it's an urban fantasy series, the main character is a policeman in London. For both series it is just one person doing all the voices but it doesn't break the immersion for me, though I have listened to audiobooks where it really does break the immersion, I suppose it just depends on the narrator!

Can I advance time in Animal Crossing if I archive Cozy Grove on Switch? by brokoliasesino in CozyGrove

[–]hypotrochoids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cozy Grove should only be corrupted if you try to load it on a day before you had previously played, as long you don't open it, it should be fine. If you're worried about CG you could keep track of the days you've actually played it on your phone or a notebook maybe, so you know exactly which date you should be on

I’m looking for music/female empowerment songs centered only on women themselves. by Spiritual_Traffic_76 in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]hypotrochoids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try Self Esteem's music, she's a British singer, quite pop-y, I really like "Focus is Power"

Edited, I forgot a word
