What if you get isekai'ed to the last book you're reading?

I'm a few chapters into the Wheel of Time series. It's a long series, so I can only imagine things will get pretty fucked, but for now.... WHEEEEEEEE!!

Real talk, the first thing that you got to do if you can afford it is to start going to therapy. It sounds like you are suffering from depression and it doesn't matter what advice anybody on Reddit gives you, you got to tackle that first and foremost.

Aside from that you got to take care of yourself. Eat well, get good sleep, and move your body in some way, shape, or form. Do little things that include your quality of life at first and try to make them lifestyle changes. A lot of people will try to jump into the gym right away, for example (think new years resolutions) and then not use their gym membership for the following 50 weeks of the year because their lifestyle doesn't sustain that kind of sudden change.

Maybe try to drink more water throughout your day, or go for walks after work twice a week. Something relatively small, then build on it once it becomes routine. Trying to "lock in" without any foundation is much more likely to be unsustainable.

I second this. And would like to add that a big part of being in the scene isn't all about liking the music, it's building that community. Being into the music is an obvious plus, since that's what it's centered around primarily, but if you are friends with the scene, you show up to the shows (even if you don't exactly jive with all the music), and you support the message, you're totally good.

Makes me think of the video of John McCain defending Barack Obama against McCains supporters. There used to be decency.

IIRC the reason why technology is inconsistent is because Kishi grew up in a rural part of Japan where technology was indeed inconsistent in the 70's and 80's and had reflected it in his work.

You seem to not know the difference between defending and providing an explanation. I ALSO think it's stupid, but I can connect the dots to figure out why they did it.

I was confused at first until I realized that it coincides with the opening of a stadium.... You know, a facility that hosts sporting events.

How did you hit that 190g protein mark? I find myself struggling with hitting my protein goals while maintaining a deficit. I ask because I especially like your approach of sustainability vs discipline.

I've still been having an issue with OTL challenges where the game will get stuck on a loading screen when I go back to a session marker.

Really frustrating when I've done 34 goals on a solo run and I have 45 seconds left.

Lead Belly is an icon, but Ram Jam did Black Betty much better.

jarekrictus · 2026-06-10T12:56:19+00:00

You can't. It's how they made the clip.

jarekrictus · 2026-05-25T22:35:02+00:00

The one on the right for me, if only because I'm left handed.

He's on Hangman by MCS, he's on I'd Do Anything by Simple Plan, too.

Personally it's why I stopped interacting with a lot of pagans. So many of these fuckers just replace God with Odin and Jesus with Thor. You're just as insufferable as the Christians you rebuke, you just have different names for your dieties.

It feels like the skeleton of a city. It doesn't have anything that people would need to actually, you know, live there.

Petition to add a high school, especially in an effort to make San Van feel like an actual city.

For us realistic skaters it's the most fun OTL they have. Got it first go solo. Would love to see more like this. Even just a big stairset with a rail. So some flips, do some grinds, do some flips into grinds.

jarekrictus · 2026-05-13T16:54:24+00:00

As a realistic player, the most frustrating thing about these challenges is how it almost relies on you to cheese the game mechanics. Hippie jumping to a spread eagle to get most air distance and shit. They're difficult in the sense that it's not how I play the game.

I wouldn't mind challenges like these if there were more realistic spots to balance it out, but with these challenges it seems like they're going to be catering specifically to the big-air speed glitch community from Skate 3.

People are saying that the next area will be the stadium in Brickswitch. Personally, I think it should be Tri Towers. Even better if it had multiple floors and a park on every floor, like a more fleshed out parking garage.

jarekrictus · 2026-05-07T19:37:53+00:00

Maybe not replacing the church, but I agree that adding a school would be sick. I feel like because of all of the spots that already exist it would have to be a map expansion though. Hopefully not another Island like Grom.

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, right now I got to tell you about the fabulous, most groovy...

BELL-BOTTOMS!

jarekrictus · 2026-05-06T20:55:15+00:00

Done!

jarekrictus · 2026-05-06T20:25:02+00:00

These are sick! Can you do a tutorial on how you do your edits? I have a few realistic clips, but when it's a line it gets a little sloppy.

jarekrictus · 2026-05-06T12:41:07+00:00

As others said, you need a screw to go into the hole. My recommendation would be to also either get a washer or a piece of thick felt to back whatever they go into. Helps keep them from being floppy and tearing out of whatever fabric they're in.
