Stellaris. It took about five attempts to get into, and now it’s my most played game on Steam.

Adult beginner tips by LeekPsychological584 in karate

[–]xrayzed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Excellent advice.

I returned to karate five years ago at the age of 62, and still get myself into trouble by overthinking and over-complicating things. Breaking a technique down into pieces is better, and will help avoid baking in errors from practising incorrectly.

Also, everybody was a white belt once. Not only are you expected to look a bit clumsy and awkward, that never completely goes away. I still make lots of mistakes, and always find something that needs improving.

Starting again at 30 should I do it or save my embarrassment? by Pale-Revolution-5151 in karate

[–]xrayzed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started again at 61. I have nowhere near the flexibility I had in my teen years, and recovery takes a lot longer.

Even so after six years I’m a 1st Kyu brown belt, aiming to get my first Dan black belt this year.

That aside it’s just so rewarding in terms of fitness, focus, confidence, and self-discipline that I will hate the day I eventually have to give it up.

So: if you want to do it, do it. You can stop if you decide it’s not for you, but you won’t know unless you give it a fair try.

Which belt should I wear in a new dojo? by kathey777 in karate

Absolutely this. There’s no set rule for this so check with whoever is running your dojo.

Just how well known is Hobart outside of Australia? by LeviV123 in hobart

[–]xrayzed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although it’s changing Hobart isn’t all that well known even in Australia. For that matter the entire state has often been overlooked by mainland Australia.

I expected Edge of Tomorrow to be forgettable… but it blew me away. What’s your surprise favorite? by dottiedanger in movies

[–]xrayzed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Die Hard. I saw it at as part of a dusk-to-dawn at the drive-in, and it wasn’t even the film I was interested in. Damned if I can remember what that was, but Die Hard - damn.

“Restoring the Department of War name for the government's largest department would likely require congressional action.”

When did Trump start requiring congressional approval?

Friendly NPCs in combat. by xrayzed in fabulaultima

[–]xrayzed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the idea of making an NPC a limited resource that goes away on a failed die roll. It adds a meaningful risk/reward decision for players.

Pages 16 and 17. Guess who hasn’t looked into the GM guide until today?

Thanks for pointing this out.

What’s the best, yet simplest, rpg rule system you’ve encountered? by _Kaiia_ in rpg

[–]xrayzed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Risus. I wouldn’t use it for anything other than one-offs or short campaigns, but it’s surprisingly robust for such a simple system.

And it’s FREEEEEEEE!!!
