Looking for comeuppance heavy series - Lemmy.world

Loved the Embers of Illeniel series and I’m really digging where Phil Tucker’s Immortal Great Souls series is going, and I’m looking for more. I like the progression elements of a weak/underpowered MC growing into a powerhouse over the course of the story, and I REALLY like said powerhouse using that strength to pay back everyone who deserves it. Looking for longer form stuff, and trolling through royal road and scribblehub just isn’t scratching that itch.

New guy to flashlights looking for recommendations - Lemmy.world

I’m a welder by trade, and I often use flashlights to inspect my work. I’ve used a bunch of mini Maglites for a while, but I’m getting a little tired of how fast they gunk up or burn out. Turns out, welding work is ROUGH on flashlights, especially if you keep using them through grinding and polishing. What I’m looking for is a small, very durable flashlight. Preferably under 1" in diameter, between 3 and 5 inches long, and very durable with regards to heat and abrasive, conductive dust. Ideally, I’d like something usb-c rechargeable, but without some kind of dust flap for the port I don’t see how that’s possible. The other problem I tend to have with the mini maglites is that I end up melting the plastic cover over the bulb. That let’s in dust, burning out the element. The front cover would probably need to be something other than plastic. Replacing the $10 minimag isn’t the worst thing in the world, but it’s a pain in my ass to forget to buy more and end up burning out the last one when I need it.
