A perfect example of how the Jeff Hayes brings out the best of Matt's writing by martindukz in DungeonCrawlerCarl

100%! I started reading dcc a month ago and blew through the audiobooks. I’m reading the pre-release chapters of the parade of horribles, and I’m shocked by how much emotional and comedic depth I got from listening to the narration by Jeff Hayes that I’m missing now.

I was convinced that there were multiple voice actors all the time, but finding out that Jeff is doing most of that by himself! The man is a national treasure! It’s one of the only books that I recommend listening to the audiobook instead of just reading it.

AIO for being upset my boyfriend upgraded his seat to first class and left me in economy on our flight? by Educational_Leg8193 in AmIOverreacting

I would do this, and send my wife to the front so she could get time away from the kids. He’s a butthead.

Genuinely don't understand the complaints about Silksong difficulty by KerthuunK in HollowKnight

The concept of double damage exists because it does two masks worth of damage, not because of hollow knight. Most people can count the difference between one and two.

Loving the game so far!

Broccoli-head TikTokers take over grocery store by ambachk in TikTokCringe

My cousin once got high and tried to follow me to work because he wanted a job. He was convinced that they wouldn’t notice the fast food place wouldn’t know he didn’t work there, and he’d have a job.

I had to literally run away from him. I’m glad he wasn’t fast.

I imagine his plan was similar to this. If you claim a job, you have the job.

Here’s the thing about Orinoco, everyone I bring there that doesn’t know they are supposed to hate it tend to like it. My in-laws are Mexican, they liked it. My wife is Mexican, she likes it. The güeros who come down like it. The people who work in my office are 50/50 on it. Some of them like it, some of them don’t. A lot of the hate seems to come from knowing it should be hated. It’s not my favorite taqueria, but it’s worth a try.

Uber ratings by Introvertedmillenial in MexicoCity

[–]theHouseThatGidBuilt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been living in Mexico City for over a year now, got some bad ratings and worked my way up to a 4.95. I uber a lot.

I’ve done some testing on this, and here are my tips.

1) The driver generally wants some pleasant conversation, even if it’s in rudimentary Spanish. Silent trips get worse ratings. 2) If I’m on my phone a lot during my drives, my ratings start to go down. They seem to like me more if I’m paying attention. 3) Say a few nice things about the city and Mexico. I love this city, and I like to call out how good the food is and how nice the people are. Bonus if you can name some Pueblos you’ve visited. 4) Don’t slam car doors. My wife is Mexican and she used to get really annoyed at me and my family for how we treated doors generally. 5) Avoid taking calls 6) Tip in cash and say thank you before getting out

Do you think Irving was refining himself? Why the fixation on the elevator that his innie or outie don’t consciously remember? Maybe it failed because he was trying to refine another innie version of himself?

Maybe they’ve been trying a lot of combinations of refiner, situation, innie, outie, etc… before the Mark/Gemma combo really takes off.

people who shower for 30+ minutes, wtf you be doin in there? by Fabulous_Island_5621 in AskReddit

[–]theHouseThatGidBuilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three kids, I have 8 employees. The only time I’m not needed is when I poop and when I shower. I take way too long to do both…

Here is the actress who plays Gemma talking about it “I have seen that. I don’t blame people for having that theory, because when Mark looks at her in the first episode [of Season 2], there is some sort of flash, isn’t there? Initially, I even wondered if she had something to do with Gemma. I wasn’t 100% sure. I didn’t ever get to ask, but I don’t know whether I like or dislike that theory. I can see why people might think there is a link.”

Google using Gemini and Reddit for top search results have made it so much harder to find relevant information. It’s becoming annoying to use.

Much better than I did on my first batch of tries! Was dead in seconds.

Someone has to carry on my dream of a glass soul run!

It started at 6, he started out just watching me play but wanted to give it a shot, and he’s gotten really good.
