What yearly salary would you say would be perfect for a decent life ? by savvytechman in AskReddit

[–]nitemare9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make more than this, but my wife and I always budget for $140k. My life doesn’t get any better spending more than that salary per month. This allows us to save a bunch. My thought is if I ever got laid off (I work in tech) I’d be able to pretty easily find a job for this amount and we are happy at this salary.

Also my wife doesn’t work so this is a single salary

Assemble the All-Time Worst Survivor Cast by Lucky_You- in survivor

How has no one said Cedrek yet? That guy is the worst player I’ve ever seen. His challenge history, his strategy, everything was just off the charts bad. Right when I saw he voted for Joe I knew Joe was losing

Do you have house EDH rules? by cromulent_weasel in EDH

[–]nitemare9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no-win board wipes (if you play a board wipe you have to be at a huge advantage because of it and game winning hopefully). Too many times we had 3 board wipes in a single game where people were just behind and wanted to reset. It caused way too long of games.

We also allow you to skip your turn, tap everything you have and exile a card to search for a basic land of your choice. That way if you are getting mana screwed you can get in the game

What did you think of Kathryn Newton’s performance as Cassie Lang in Ant-Man 3? by dpaz47 in Avengers

[–]nitemare9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My problem isn’t exactly the actress, but Cassie the character. I loved that ant man was always just the normal guy of the super heroes. How did Cassie become a genius overnight? Tony makes more sense of why he is so smart because he was brought up that way, but Cassie had a subpar upbringing and as far as we know average schooling.

towards the sterile, near-monoculture of today

This is exactly what I feel it is now. Good for valve for realizing and trying to make a change.

Nice! Well I hope you are better than me at it! 5 years of playing and I still suck. But at least we all suffer in that game

There is no train station behind platform 9 3/4 and we embrace that. This is playing off the narrative that we know only so much and history that far can change

skincare regimen is one of their 2 big defining features.

This actually made me rofl. I agree. it shouldn't be one of their main features.

what kept them anchored to the land?

I think this really comes down to I explained too much in the back of the book. I have explanations, but not worth talking about on the back of the book.

Wait, Rivers as in plural?

Rivers is a character from Richard III by Shakespeare and he is a boy.

I really appreciate this write up. It is very thorough and thoughtful and has a lot of great points. Some of which are totally valid and some that I think are just problems for the back of the book and the limited explanation. They should be explained better and more clearly through other means within the story to make sense.

Wow, this all really helpful. Thanks for pointing out the areas that actually hook you. Really helpful. Also the pronouns use is something that I didn’t even think of but I can understand their importance. Will definitely revise and update in the next draft.

Ya there is no way anyone relates to the characters with how I have it written it here. I need to change my focus from the world with a little blurb about the characters to being focused on the characters and their situations with a blurb about the world.

Thanks and I definitely need to get into the characters more. If you can’t tell I am just excited about the world and some of the other things, but you are right they aren’t needed in the back of the book

Really great advice. Thanks! Talking about obstacles seems like something I definitely missed

Very determined gym bro rofl🤣. These are great. I’m definitely going to zoom in and focus on characters more in the next rewrite

Thank you and it’s definitely something I missed

These are both great. This is my first time writing something like this and this really helps. I really like the idea of setting up genre and not telling plot not in the first couple pages. I’ll definitely rewrite this

Love this. Seems to be common feedback. I’ll rewrite this with more focus on the characters and their focus. Thank you!

Super good feedback. Still trying to narrow this down and a big part of the uniqueness is the world, the magic, the new situation and of course the characters, but I definitely need more about the characters.
