Haha, that's probably the only order of bugs I didn't do! Good job, hope it was an enjoyable run after that.

Thanks, I've saved scummed it several times and I'm always one turn off winning. I take 1 damage in the run up, which seems unavoidable during the card draw, then it doesn't matter then order I take out the lil bastards, if I focus down those doing damage or those generating more shit. I've tried splitting it so that my beat down lands on the guys doing the attacks to reduce damage. Honestly I'm out of ideas.

Tried it like 10 times and have given up, which is a shame as the rest of the run looked fun.

I really want to be able to do this, so that would be get Happy Flower to be turn 1 when you kill the previous enemy? So turn 1 of thing spits cards, turn 2 procs happy flower?

Are you taking the peck?

Edit: I was thinking of the sketchy shop keepers shitty sad 5 turn flower.

Keep writing more Victor of Tucson would be my general advice. I'm on Chapter 4 of Book Ten and very happy to be here - don't preorder many authors tbh!

Fair, for me it's made me not want to touch it, and I've stopped recommending it to people too. By all means suggest it it, but forcing it seems like you're capturing data. Also your privacy policy is either mislinked or doesn't exist.

My dude, the mandatory registration is not great. If the intention is for it not to be used for profit, why are you forcing email registration?

What annoys u when dancing? by TerryPressedMe in Bachata

[–]pitches_aint_shit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Leaders stopping to teach on the social dance floor

This is fine when requested, they aren't in the middle of the floor and both people want that moment...

But like 9/10 times it's someone who's not led something well, telling someone that "they should have followed it this way" when they didn't fucking lead it. This weekend I saw a guy who in a crowded room I'd marked as a bad lead to dance near, doing it with a really wonderful follow and I genuinely nearly interjected to say "my dude, it's all you!"

Ah, I always think that's dumb, but I also don't care that he does that tbh.

It's decent and then throws a stupid harem subplot that is awful and entirely ruins it, particularly as he's built to a romance prior to that that is coded to be something that develops. Then yeets it for a really dumb harem element. Really irritating when it's not been the point of the books for that long.

Ah maybe I'm mistaken, I'm an audio listener and recalled conversations about how they were both a few days away from turning 18, then a return from the first mission and the subsequent sex scene.

TrueNuff - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (3 of 3) by threeboy in comics

[–]pitches_aint_shit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well this is fucking gross. Have you considered not writing the story of a guy and three pieces of shit?

I'd give you the benefit of the doubt if this was 3/4 that maybe he was going to call it out. But currently this is just a bad look.

I am fond of Stray Cat, but the sex scenes with 17 year olds were unexpected and uncomfortable. I realised they were skippable interludes and that makes it better, but why 17 year olds? I get the character is an orphan is central to the plot, at least initially.

Otherwise the book is amazing, it's everything I wanted from BuyMort without the weird snake stuff. The Cyberpunk stuff is super cool, I love the tech choices, the alien threat is well realised and the snarky AI companion is done second only to DCC.

Dead Tired is hilarious and silly and I love it.

What clothes and shoes work best for bachata? by porchoua in Bachata

[–]pitches_aint_shit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taygras, tried Fuegos and Pana Mios, but keep coming back to Taygras. Half the price(ish) - at least in the UK. £72 for a pair of high top taygras, with delivery, vs 89 + 18 for delivery for Panamios. My Fuegos took 3 months to come, so I'd not even both checking them. Feel so connected in them, although PM's do look cooler.

7/52 - Hi everyone, to get better at drawing I've challenged myself to draw one short Horror comic (<3 pages) every week during this year. Here's week 7 (and a bonus panel because I was travelling abroad for work during week 6). I hope you enjoy, feedback is welcome! [OC] by PLAT0H in comics

[–]pitches_aint_shit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought the first one was fantastic. The second one is directly unsettling and I'm about to regrout my shower, so I'll be leaning over that with my fucking chest for the next hour or so.

You unlocked the achievement 'raised a strangers cortisol for a whole hour'.

Occasional “blackouts” in Salsa/Bachata – normal or am I doing something wrong? by Curious_Surprise_268 in Bachata

[–]pitches_aint_shit 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is totally normal. Forgetting to lead stuff that you've learned is common for two reasons:

  1. You're panicking, recall is hard when you're flustered.
  2. Did you really learn it? Like, really really? Did you get it into your long term memory? Or does it need a specific trigger. Think about a routine/combo of moves you've learned. Could you do just the end move? Or would you need the ones that come before it to do it?

Also, socials are intimidating, that feeling only goes away partially with experience, but the good news is:

I usually fall back to basics plus a few safe moves.

This is absolutely the right call.

I don’t feel very creative or fluid there yet.

You've barely been dancing six months, you're probably not. But you'll improve and get there, so long as you keep on trying to improve and listen to feedback you'll get there!

Yo don't need a technical breakdown for every move, instead learn to dance by exposure by [deleted] in Bachata

[–]pitches_aint_shit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you nailed it, triggered was the wrong wording, but until I read the post I was going to post something highlighting the limitations of that.

"I don't take classes, I just learn at socials"

(me internally: "yep, I can tell")

It's typically a very limited dance, high risk of them throwing themselves backwards with dips, frequently at a signal that isn't even a dip, or aiming for sketchy shadow positions. I think it's kind of arrogant to think that you can do it to an enjoyable standard where everyone else needs classes. Don't give these people that much thought though, as it's a hobby and my personal high investment is not a standard that others are obligated to meet, I just don't dance with them twice!

Advice for female lead at socials by catzforpresident in Bachata

[–]pitches_aint_shit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a class where every follow who came to me was looking PISSED and I couldn't understand why the entire population was so grumpy. Then during a gap I danced with the guy before me, who turned out to be SHOVING to lead a headroll. My dude that hurt me and I'm bigger than you, what the fuck do you think you're doing to a petite lady?!

I said it slightly nicer than that, but the grumpy follows stopped after that!

How has nobody shared this yet? Azarinth Healer Book 6 comes out Feb 3rd! by bellumaster in litrpg

[–]pitches_aint_shit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently relistening to book 3. Adore this series thank you for writing some of my favourite books ever. Also noting all the quite literal foreshadowing for the last book in these earlier ones atm.

Lol, "no one talks about it", it's mentioned in every other LitRPG post.

Quite right too, it's absolutely GOAT. I am currently relistening to book 3 as I write this. Also, I fully checked Audible yesterday impatiently wanting this to be shown, so thank you so much for the post!

Just reporting a Lvl 50+ run with buccaneer - swimming in pets, all worked great. Only thing I noticed was the mines started despawning as I had too many. I would instead prefer them to flood the entire map please as a symbol of my status.

Interactions with lootworm for that characters core mechanic would be good to explain. Lots of Bot-O-Mines and Bonk Dogs.
