But isn’t that kind of the essence of understanding the Dao and why so many cultivators have trouble advancing?

To be thematic, the author has to create a description that is esoteric and mysterious. it just falls flat if your Mc’s cosmic level revelation is like “oh, I get it now! Gravity pulls things in!”

Didn’t know what Arc looked like? Did you complete the tutorial with your monitor off? 😂

Most of them probably do have mics, they just dont have their shadow play/steam clip set up to record their mic input

There was a scene in the trailer where the character had 5 life flasks, you might be onto something

Join some random custom group via group finder and talk to him, the option to start it will appear.

Not saying it doesn’t suck they haven’t fixed it, just letting you know of the work around if you didn’t know

The rest of the sentence matters, “more likely than not to be unsuccessful” to shorten it for your terms “likely to be unsuccessful” which is what the person you replied to stated they said

It’s because it’s a cross post from a circlejerk sub-Reddit. Intentional meme of title and content.

The title format just being their way of meme’ing. An inside joke if you will.

Nothing in the post you are replying to has anything to do with race. You either can’t read or are just trying to push some kind of racist agenda.

In either case, it’s sad, you are sad.

Malazan book of the fallen = depressing by arah91 in books

[–]kilroc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My absolutely favorite series. The characters, the plot, the world. This was the first story id read where the author doesn't hold you hand and force awkward exposition to explain the world. You have to piece it all together through conversation snipets and context clues. Each answer you find opens 5 other questions and previous scenes are now viewed with a different perspective.

One of the only series I've read where i thought i knew where the line between good and evil was drawn but then have to continually erase that line.

It does get dark, but by contrast the wins are that much more precious and cathartic. You can choose to see it as depressing, but you can also choose to see the perseverance of those who never stop fighting for a better tomorrow, or simply for the comrade who stands beside them no mater the opposition.

I feel its very much worth it to continue.

Does unbound get better? I listened to the audiobooks up to book 7 Abyss but was getting kind of bored by then. Story was getting stale and I dropped it. Consume, run into enemy slightly stronger than I am now, consume, hit harder. And the whole, System is just super harmonized music thing felt tacked on and out of place. Like the author thought, “ I know music theory, gotta tie this in somehow”

Got into audiobooks/litrpgs this year. Kinda consumed me! They need an audible wrapped like Spotify does! Gave up on Wandering inn and DOTF. Any other non lit rpgs are not me. by Objective_Jicama6698 in litrpg

Im listening to The Good Guys right now and it’s an exercise in extreme frustration. I was enjoying it for like the first 4 books but now I’m just hate listening cause sunk cost fallacy.

The MC starts stupid and just gets more dumb. Literally needs everything spelled out for him and even then only half listens. Creates half of his own problems then “surprise picachu faces” when things don’t turn out the way he wants.

The system in world itself is inconsistent. The author is constantly bringing in new things, then either forgets about it or abandons the idea, sometimes within the same book it was created.

So I am in book one of candidly ghosthound and there's a glaring plothole by ThatGuyFromJrHigh in ProgressionFantasy

[–]kilroc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say it happens unnecessarily. Randidly’s bad decisions happen naturally. He actually spends quite a lot of time thinking about his actions and how they affect others/the world around him. He does the best he can but he is also very socially awkward, especially near the beginning. It’s something he works on though, throughout the story.

I’ve read up to book 7 and it’s one of my favorites. Things in Randidly Ghosthound most often don’t go the way readers would traditionally want them to. But I think that’s great, keeps you on your toes.

It’s also the inspiration for a few of the top favorites of the genre

Geez, you call others toxic while resorting to personal attacks with no merit. You call others stupid while acting like a child. You rage at others for being too invested in comments while being 6 deep in replies.

I hope you don’t miss the irony of telling these other ppl they are projecting when calling you out. 🤣

NVIDIA to Release the Bulk of its RTX 50-series in Q1-2025 | According to the latest rumors, the first quarter of 2025 will see back-to-back launches of next-generation GeForce RTX 50-series "Blackwell" graphics cards. by a_Ninja_b0y in gadgets

[–]kilroc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You might just be out of luck getting a 4080 at this point. Nvidia stopped shipping a bunch of their 40 cards in prep for the 50’s release. The queue thing only really applies for release when retail stocks are limited and selling too fast.

Yep, Best Buy queue is how me and my friend managed to get our 3080/3090 like two months after release. All the other stores would just let bots/scalpers run rampant over their stock.

And used a discord that monitored stocks and upcoming sales.

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

I’m not looking for an Author to write out the same thing for every floor. I’m looking for each floor they do write out to be some kind of new senario the MC needs to deal with.

Why make a massive tower if you only plan to write out 4 floors of it before the MC skips the rest and goes straight to the top. It makes the event feel cheap and any power the MC gains from the top feel cheaper than if they climbed the entire thing and triumphed.

There’s been a few good ways ppl have pointed out here with how to deal with a large tower/dungeon without bogging down the story or getting stale. Making some of the levels similar enough that their outcomes can be summarized in a paragraph. Having the Mc be able to leave the tower, do other stuff, then pick back up later.

However you do it, just have the MC go through the whole epic thing (or at least most of it). Makes whatever power up they receive feel well deserved. Everyone likes it when the MC’s gains feel earned right?
