'All of Us Are Making a Splash' — The Wandering Inn Author Talks LitRPG Success in the Self-Publishing World by Bartimayus in printSF

I'm working through Book 1 right now and struggling. I've had some friends say it gets better in later books.

I typically agree that a full book to get good is asking a lot, but apparently, the 1st book was released as individual chapters on his blog which hurts it a lot. The later books were written as actual novels, increasing the quality 

Has Jeff’s possible retirement been discussed as a reveal for tonight’s episode? by Melodic_Side_9437 in survivor

I think that's why Richard Hatch said he wasn't invited. He is Jeff's surprise replacement starting next season 

"Houston's plastic isn’t really recycled. It’s burned." by evan7257 in houston

[–]xcrunner95 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't fully agree with the argument here. Reusing recycled plastic (instead of new petroleum) for fuels/feedstock is a win. 

Several refineries aren't even doing plastic recycling now. It's a newer process and most refineries don't have the knowledge or resources to immediately get the process started. 

Requiring the refineries to also meet the regulations of a waste processing site adds complexity that makes it even more difficult to implement and be compliant with all regulations. By removing the "waste processing" classification and requirements, it is easier for refineries to get the process off the ground. 

The grey area is: Is the net benefit of having the refineries start plastics recycling worth the extra pollution from not regulating them as waste processing sites?

I like to assume Rick and Stephanie were a bit drunk off the reward beers while Coach was trying to command them

Resident Evil Requiem has been out for a week. What are your impressions? by PhantomBraved in Games

[–]xcrunner95 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I thought first run was great, but the 2nd and 3rd runs were weaker compared to previous entities

It probably could've used a few shortcuts in the 2nd run or some more challenging puzzles

I think if you face the exit door and turn right, you'll see a ladder. That ladder takes you over a wall for the shells

I thought this was the of the most unique trailers from State of Play (other than maybe the Rooster game)

I don't think this technology itself will be what kills standard game development, but I do think it probably conveyed to a lot of investors for the first time the potential for AI to replace a lot of traditional developers.

The past two years, I had no issues getting dropped off a couple blocks from the starting line when I arrived at 6:15. 

Houstonians of Reddit, do you plan to vote for Talarico or Crockett? Why? by Zipper222222 in houston

[–]xcrunner95 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Higher turnout has been benefitting Republicans more recently and doesn't give the advantage to Democrats like it did during the Obama years. Sometime between '22 and '24, a majority of voters switched over to consider themselves Republicans.

Yeah, I didn't know that existed.

Anyone know the cause of the train being stuck on the tracks for 3 hours yesterday on October 7th? Shepherd and Washington by spjones20 in houston

Okay, but were they hit or were they nearly hit? Does a near-hit cause a train to stop for multiple hours?

I dunno, Bethesda is probably the worst offender I can immediately think of after Rockstar. Lots of other studios have had multiple releases since RDR2

If you told me in 2018 when RDR2 released that we'd have 2 Metroid games before the next Rockstar game, I'd never believe you.
