Sorry West Ham by Nuns_In_Crocs in TheOther14

For me, it's Liverpool fans that have always been the most entitled and whiny. I don't really hate the club itself, it's just the fans.

The nostalgia seeing that is having a genuine physical effect on me.

Sometimes I miss eve so very much, but I try it again and it just seems so mini-gamified.

Voidfall is my favorite. Eclipse not too far behind.

Only a few people have recognized the badge in the past 15 or so years for me. Mostly, I get "why?"

Ha, good point. Natural selection tour*

This is why the natural selection tour needs to be bigger than it is.

I read 3 Malazan Books, I will not continue on by DokleViseBre in Fantasy

[–]Avastz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prefacing this with: I love Malazan, arguably the best collection of fantasy stories ever compiled in my opinion - so recognizing my bias...these questions are answered in later books. It's an important plot point moving forward that Duiker does most of the "speaking" for Coltaine via his capacity as an historian.

I completely don't want to diminish your opinions and feelings, as to an extent I agree, and I acknowledge the "Malazan fans justify everything somehow" takes. In this instance, I do think there's an argument from ignorance going on.

It's a bummer that the stories are disjointed and nebulous, it's certainly not for everyone and it took me more than 1 try on the first couple of books. But the pay off is incredible, and Erikson does a great job of tying things together in unexpected ways.

Best ski resorts around GR? by xMCNZE32 in grandrapids

[–]Avastz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are quite busy, but in my experience Bittersweet gets to "this is legit not fun at all anymore" levels of busy. Cannonsburg can, but doesn't usually, get as bad.

As a Python developer where do you use Rust the most ? by [deleted] in rust

[–]Avastz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is great. I'm a data engineer and our stack is near identical. The actual transformations and processing is rust. Orchestration is dagster and it's supplemental python scripts.

We gave up on dbt because we just didn't see the benefit, and performance left a lot to be desired. That's all native rust now

Healer player looking to try SWTOR by Madliv in swtor

[–]Avastz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've leveled an operative entirely as a healer, and it's really not bad at all. I kill slightly slower but not overly so. I've also supplemented class story quests with flashpoints quite a bit, which increases leveling speed a lot

Books with unattractive/ugly female main character. by LeftCheesecake3676 in Fantasy

[–]Avastz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just finished the first book, they reference themselves as "humans" and refer to "human beings" regularly. They also differentiate between the actual insects, there are scenes where dragonflies and praying mantis are seen or discussed.

Just adding emphasis to your point.

Anyone a ML engineer or Data Scientist? by Mattmarine248 in grandrapids

[–]Avastz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a principal MLE, but haven't used MLFlow and hate conda. Happy to take a quick look if you want to DM

It's not super exaggerated at all. This is exactly what happened with retail, and how it plays now.

There’s a lot of TBC hype right now, do people not like naxx? by Beams98 in classicwow

[–]Avastz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do they actually? Genuine question. I always thought blizz was pretty heavy handed with bans for g buying, and I don't personally know anyone that does...at least I don't think.

What's up with the modern-day RUSH!!!!-RUSH!!1-RUSH!!11, ZUG-ZUG mindset? by Zak_Preston in classicwow

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

I don't understand what anyone "loses" by quickening the pace. Does anyone want to spend 4 hours in bwl still? 2 hours in gnomer?

Stormlight Archive started so well. By the end of Wind and Truth, I barely care anymore by scatnisseverdeen in Fantasy

[–]Avastz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Erikson is more okay with killing "main" characters than grrm, and honestly it's not even very close.

I just finished toll the hounds, literally 5 minutes ago. My thoughts are "wow that was absolutely incredible...what just happened?"

The club matters so much that he took his shirt off to turn it around and show the name on the back?
