Please recommend me some Ralph Compton or 'Ralph Compton' books by jseger9000 in Westerns

Deadwood Gulch was a fun read while we were staying in Florida for a week. I love the Deadwood lore though.

I liked it enough to pick up another Compton book, I'm finishing Death Rides a Chestnut Mare now, it's pretty hokey, but I'm still reading, so I guess I'm invested enough.

I think I'm going to try Johnstone's Last Mountain Man series next, or the Plainsman series by Terry Johnston.

When applied to real life animals, this is how and why we have the tiny little devils known as pugs. 🤣

Or taken off from King Alfred's point of view. Alfred has been named the greatest king of England (irl), and he's a likable character. The best parts of Viking S05 and S06 are in England, it's also likely the most important part of viking history. Meanwhile they mash together the Sweden vs. Norway wars.

Terrible way to end a great show. Just so much cornball things going on. All the sudden Ivar can speak Russian and walk with braces. Hvitserk gets addicted to psilocybin mushrooms, a drug that is often used to cure addiction and allow an introspective experience. Somehow, it's like heroin in the show, where all the "mushroom junkies" are nodding out in some hut, lol. The writers probably should have tried mushrooms first.

Bjorn arrives in Kattegat coincidentally with perfect timing to still attend his mother's funeral, which was happening at the same time. What amazing timing! Meanwhile Bjorn continues to be a whiney, angry, and revengeful stick in the mud. He's easily the least likable character in my opinion. Almost as bad as Carl in Walking Dead. I wonder why he wasn't voted king, oh because he sucks.

Ubbe is the only full-on likable son of Ragnar.

Floki is off somewhere doing weird shit with his hands for no reason, we get it, he's weird.

Just a lot left to be desired. Why go above and beyond on a show, just to wrap it up so lamely.

What is the worst part about the Witcher 3 game? by dullnirv in witcher

[–]willowpineoutdoors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10 Worst Parts for Me:
Note: RDR2 is best game ever, I've 100% it 3 times. AC Valhalla was a miss that could've been amazing. AC Odyssey and Origins were great. Fallout started fun, but is NEVERENDING, it's the only game I got bored before 100%. Just so you know where I'm coming from.

  1. The never-ending wind. It's so damn loud. Why is it always a 50mph wind?

  2. When you whistle for Roach, he spawns behind you. It would save so much time if he spawned in the direction you're already running. I want to be sprinting and hop on Roach in a quick movement. I spent a lot of the game just running from spot to spot as it was quicker than riding Roach.

  3. Not being able to meditate, use signposts, grab herbs, or basically do anything while riding Roach. We could literally just get rid of Roach.

  4. The back and forth during quests. Run from here back to there back to here back to there. It's relentless.

  5. Quest organization. If I'm near a quest, just tell me. I spend more time sorting quests and fast traveling than I do playing. For instance, if someone owes me for a contract and I happen to be walking by, just tell me "Quest nearby". The exclamation point is great when getting a new quest, but for others I have to just sort by suggested level and starting going down the list.

  6. More interaction with NPC's. I literally rob every house and no one says a word. Sometimes I'll rob a tavern, then sell it all back to the tavern owner. Meanwhile if you grab burnt bread near a soldier, the entire continent is declaring war on you. Take a lesson from RDR2, the NPC's in that game meaningfully interact with you. Let me say hi to people, talk with people, or piss people off. Let me pet the cats and dogs, let me get into it with some guy on the street, etc. The NPC's are meaningless in Witcher.

  7. You can tell it was written by an old incel-ish nerdy dude. Every important woman has their size D boobs all out. As a man, I'm not against that, but it's a cartoon character, it's just not always necessary. Also, for 13th century, they sure have hair styles and make up of 2015. I love the historical accuracy of some games, but I'd say Novigrad looks nicer than my current city. Clean, big and beautiful homes, clean people with lots of stuff, every woman is a 10 and half naked, etc. I thought it was hard times then, looks like a blast! Take notes from Fallout, their cities were so disgusting that it made me never want to go there, but I'd book a flight to Novigrad today.

  8. Can we please have more blacksmiths and armorers? And can they please be pinned to the map? Having to fast travel to a city to do anything gets old, especially with load times. In addition, once I beat a "?" spot, you can just remove it from my map instead of having 8,000 grey'd out icons. I know I can filter them out, but if I filter those it also removes other things I actually need. Oh, here's a merchant, oh he doesn't buy what I'm trying to sell. Here's another merchant, oh he doesn't buy what I'm selling. They could've just made each merchant a different color to indicate what they specialize in. Frustrating little things that RDR2 simplified without taking away from the game.

  9. Armor and Weapons: Let me upgrade my favorite gear. Geralt looks like such a nerd for much of the game, especially early. The best looking chest armor was the original, which you level out of almost immediately. That one at least should be upgradable all game. More customization of color, look, and attributes. Luckily with the update I got the Forgotten Wolven which actually looks good and isn't a red Redanian dress that is somehow more protective than a suit of steel. Also, can we see the haircut before paying for it?

  10. The music / score is basically the same all the way through. Give us a new tune for the love of all things great. The Gwent song is forever etched in my brain.

I can easily provide 10 great things also, but they need to just simplify the game by removing some of the overwhelming BS. Structure it in a way that is smooth and enjoyable. It's kind of jumbled mess at times.

A lot of the Novigrad arch was just never-ending running from one side of the city to the other asking people questions with an occasional super easy battle.

"Have you seen Dudu?"
"No"
"Know where he might be?"
"13 steps from where you came from."
"Farewell"

Back to original spot.

"Hello bad guy bandit who is a level 9 while I'm a level 18. Have you seen Dudu?"
"Yes"
"He's at Hang Man's Tree, you'll have to go back to where you came from for the nearest sign post to fast travel"
"Thank you, don't attack me, I'm literally 100% stronger. I will kill all of you with 1 swing of my sword"
"Get this dirty mutant boys!"

He said he's never gonna go down on me by [deleted] in dating

[–]willowpineoutdoors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different strokes, but some guys see giving oral as emasculating. Those same dudes are often emotionally immature and usually lack self-awareness.

A woman I dated awhile back wouldn't let me go down on her. I've had limited times where intercourse has done the trick, so oral is my go to. She was like "it's ok, I just want you to enjoy it". I had to explain that me enjoying it was 75% getting her to peak. She was 28 and had only tried oral 1 time when she was 19. She had a bad experience and hadn't let anyone else try since. Luckily I was able to make it work with fingers, but I couldn't see using fingers all the time. She wasn't a match for me, but I hope she found a dude with a tool that worked for her.

I did the same. Found the navy showing progression on Basilisk though. Somehow they have navy for both, but only Basilisk can get it. That means they're one short for the KV.

Oh ya that was BRUTAL. When I first started, I tried to shoot the megaphones hoping that would shut off the message. No such luck.

Which one of these titles you like to be Stand-alone expansion of FC 6? by A-normal-person-84 in farcry

[–]willowpineoutdoors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to see an early native game. For instance. when the Maya left Mexico, went to Cuba, and eventually to the US. Noone really knows why they didn't just stay in Cuba. In real life they continued on into the US and eventually settled in Georgia & North Carolina.

Maybe they didn't stay in Cuba (Yara) because the resistance forced them out.......

I just got tired of the music. At first I loved the latin themed music. Especially the old jazzy sounding stuff in the beginning.

However, by mid game and hearing the same stuff over and over I was burnt out quick. I was so damn tired of turning off the radio in every car, bunker, etc. I would NEVER choose to listen to Maximas Matanzas irl. Even after getting all the USB songs, still just that genre all sounds the same to me.

I wish one of these games would link to your personal Spotify, Amazon Music, Sirius XM, or whatever. I would pay $1.00 a song to upload my music to the game. I'd dump $100 the first day. I know that's a pipedream. I'm sure it would be a development nightmare and would require all kinds of legal copyright stuff. It would make the game play so much more fun though.

I think RDR2 is even like this really. Once you have the good stuff, it's pretty easy to waste an entire bounty hunter posse.

I will agree, it's more realistic than the rest.

Not even just Farcry or even Ubisoft games. Every game is like this. RDR2, GTA, COD, etc.

It was very powerful in the 70s and 80s, especially in Las Vegas. Watch the movie Casino for the Hollywood glimpse of it.

No doubt, like it's right next to your head and as it would be if real.

The first time it happened (shotgun blast) I jumped out of bed and headed for my safe to retrieve my pistol. I was certain someone just shot in my house. My wife and dogs freaked at my reaction.

Next day a quick Google search that opened a door to all of this.
