Where the hell am I going to talk about bad litrpg's?

any recs?

Ah hah, the classics first

He who fights with Monsters (edgelord Australian goes brr)

Defiance of the Fall (axe man goes brr)

Primal Hunter (archer goes brr)

Azarinth Healer (lady who punches goes brr)

There's probably about four months of continuous reading involved in the above and only Azarinth is actually finished, the others have no end in sight.

I am legally obliged at this point to ask have you read Cradle?

Cradle is not litrpg, but everyone likes it and those who don't are considered to be strange lepers (assuming you enjoy litrpg or progression fantasy at all)

Other honourable mentions..

Mother Of Learning

Dungeon Crawler Carl

You want recs for bad ones?

Well even if one belives there is such a thing as a good litrpg, anyone who likes the genre is going to have read those already. So yeah any litrpg connoisseur is going to be looking for recommended bad ones.

There are ones that aren't?

The litrpg readership accepts that they're all objectively "bad", they just ignore that fact and keep reading. Then wish the authors could pump out more than 1500 words per day so they could have even more.

HN is having issues as well...

I had just changed my DNS settings when I tried Reddit and it didn't work and then tried HN and it was really really slow. I was starting to think there was something wrong with my DNS change until I saw this post and comment.

I can't link to it right now since the link is on reddit, but it's kinda funny timing with the rant one of their recruiters did on LinkedIn over the weekend

what was the gist of it?

It was a screenshotted post on r/LinkedInLunatics about how unqualified 99% of the candidates at Reddit are, and how it should be illegal to apply for a job if you don't meet 100% of the qualifications. There was also a subplot to the rant that blamed the dearth of qualified candidates on 'Tik Tok Thots' (paraphrasing because I don't remember the exact demeaning term the author used to objectify female tiktok users)

Way to push your biases.

The most affected part of California is central: https://poweroutage.us/area/state/california

It's because they currently have floods there.

Reddit runs on AWS and they don't have region in central CA so it's obvious whatever they are experiencing is unrelated.

Reddit is down at least once a week, but this is certainly a different error message than normal: "Our CDN was unable to reach our servers". Normally it's just something vague like "Oops, something went wrong". I'm also amused at the possible explanation that they might have simply improved their error messages, causing us to assume this is a different sort of outage than usual.

I've been simply unable to connect at all.

A major site being hard down for 1hr+ and everyone just shrugs and says it happens... unless it's Twitter, in which case it's a harbinger of the company dying and how this shouldn't happen to major sites.

Reddit also uses fastly for their CDN. Considering the error message for the vast majority of this was (still is) "Our CDN was unable to reach our servers" it made me look at the CDN connection... which has multiple DCs in San Jose... You know, the "most affected part of California."

> Way to push your biases.

Nah, no bias. Just following the sites goal.

Hence why I said "Wonder if" not "they must have."
