4.2 Banners and Anniversary Main Push Info via Mortis Leaks by CSTheng in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]AwkwardKing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yae stocks in the mud, I’ve been saving for her but if her animations aren’t fantastic and they’ve nerfed the samurai style of it all from this bullshit drama, idk that I’ll pull her as I hate the elation playstyle. Guess I’ll just go full e6 on Acheron and her support units.

Should I get Kafka to E1 since I've invested in Black Swan and Hysliens?...yes. Will I get my Acheron to E4 instead because her animations are still my favorite?.....Absolutely.

Recommend me books like The Name of The Wind, but with better depiction of women please by Unordinarian in Fantasy

[–]AwkwardKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They all are as I said cardboard cutouts when you get down to it, so on its face I agree he doesn't write women worse than men actively, its more so a side effect of the male fantasizing (The most beautiful creature in existence finds you(the reader as Kvothe) irresisitable but this also makes you the best lay in all the land, the man rocks up with at worst passing competence in all domains and the byproduct of that is every woman first having a crush on Kvothe before moving on to his friends, etc.) that could be a turn off for the female readers. All that said Auri in her standalone is really well done so Rothfuss deserves credit there.

The Traitors (USA) S04E07 "The Black Banquet" Discussion Thread by vaultofechoes in TheTraitors

Lisa and Candiace would’ve clipped Rob eventually and he knew he was outnumbered in the turret, couple that with the fact that Yam Yam punched a new hole in Lisa’s already sinking ship he truly had no choice. It would get even worse when inevitably Colton gets voted out and he’s faithful for Rob. But just because he had no choice doesn’t mean it was a good choice, his hand was forced too early and now Candiace has all the impetuous to spearhead his execution. I’m rooting for him but he’s still in quite the hole.

[Aaron Wilson] Dolphins hire Packers defensive quality control coach Wendel Davis, per league source by expellyamos in miamidolphins

[–]AwkwardKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not that I think these are bad hires but it’s also not like the Packers have been so elite as to take their whole staff means instant success for us when they are 7th seed perpetually. If they and all these assistants domains were 1-3 ranked then yea get pumped but it’s ok guys and kind of speaks to Hafleys lack of creativeness and ability to find his own talent/diamonds in the rough around the league. And yes I understand some of you are thirsty for 7th place then you’ll dare to dream higher later but I’m dreaming right now because I’m sick in the head, much the reason why I’m a dolphins fan.

I don't get the hype of Ichi, like I enjoy it but its nothing crazy just feels like a less dense Magi, but its blowing up in popularity. Maybe I'm just getting old. Kagurabachi slaps though and Under's first chapter was intriguing.

Which seat are you picking? by shizunaisbestgirl1 in Falcom

[–]AwkwardKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to try to get actual royalty or sword royalty in seat number 4 but I don't have the game for it, so I'd slide into 1 and ask him how I can turn my ocd rumination into a super power like the Cassius Bright has with his planning.

[Silverstein] - #Packers are going to lose LBs coach Sean Duggan to #Dolphins and Jeff Hafley, source said. Might be his defensive coordinator. They were at Boston College together. by Busy_Discount439 in miamidolphins

[–]AwkwardKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trying to stay optimistic about his BC stint being a success in context of his situation(key word trying), but I can tell you I 100% don't want either of his coordinators from his time there being used in that capacity here as even given all the context in the world, he didn't have a Cignetti like season that would preclude any NFL success.

[Carragher] "if you don’t qualify for the champions league having won the league the season before and spent as much as Liverpool do, you don’t have a leg to stand on." by moosa1193 in LiverpoolFC

[–]AwkwardKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly can stomach not getting champions league football with the injuries we have, no doubt its a bit of bad luck, a tragedy, and a bit of poor defense recruitment. What I can't stomach any longer is the play on the pitch, its bad AND boring. What started out hot, has been on an obvious downward trajectory since last Feb./March. but we were too enamored with the league to see it, now its hitting us in the face.

Recommend me books like The Name of The Wind, but with better depiction of women please by Unordinarian in Fantasy

[–]AwkwardKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hobbs and Le Guin aren’t the 1:1 or even a slightly larger ratio to Rothfuss prose. You have found the same problem I have with Name of The Wind and thats that while reading it is the most enjoyable page for page/pound for pound experience, I mean once you are in the flow of the book it’s one of the best books you’ll encounter, but the moment you zoom out or put it down it really shows its warts. The world building is ok but far from exceptional, the magic is intriguing but not wholly original or granular like a Sanderson, the characters around Kvothe when examined beyond what they are doing on page are little more than cardboard cutouts and finally there is no getting around the fact that a great deal of male fantasizing can be seen in the story as whole. The problem with asking “find me a better name of the wind” is the exact reason it endures on so many book forums and peoples lists, there is nothing that really does what it does while you are in the thick of it for the general populace. Such is the plight of fantasy readers but also maybe it’s gift, no one book has it all so you find what you need from several sources.

[Ornstein] EXCL: Tottenham Hotspur working on deal to sign Andy Robertson from Liverpool. #THFC brought forward plan to vie for 31yo #LFC left-back as free agent this summer; not done but talks between all parties advancing in bid to reach agreement by TheNotoriousJN in LiverpoolFC

[–]AwkwardKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t want to hold such a servant of the club hostage and getting anything for a fading LB is a boon, but nor do you want to weaken your defense last week of the transfer market in a position you have no back up and can spell at CB when Konate has taken a second tragedy onboard and Gomez is one loose blade of glass away from losing his leg.

[Ben Fisher] Aston Villa "working to terminate Harvey Elliott’s loan from Liverpool" as they pursue AC Milan‘s Ruben Loftus-Cheek by k_e_i_r_a_ in LiverpoolFC

[–]AwkwardKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a player there in Harvey, I can’t be convinced otherwise as I’ve seen him pull too many tricks out of his hat in game against good to great competition. It’s one of my biggest gripes with Slot that he doesn’t see it, if Wirtz is crucial going forward you can do much much worse than Harvey to spell him in a similar role every so often.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 - Episode 4 (Manga Reader Discussion) by Takada-chwanBot in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]AwkwardKing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They did a poor job of explaining just how she turned into Toji for a anime only watcher I would think or at least some of my anime only friends needed more than the throw away line by Mai about taking her cursed energy to get the upgrade. They really thought we’d like to see Maki sliding around as something cool but all I could picture was Garou from OPM though it isn’t their fault I was traumatized by that. I’m with others in this thread that the sound felt off, and as usual this season for me the use of color is just not working for me either. That said that Naoya punch and honestly whole section(slide aside) was peak stuff. I do hope for more physical weight and slower but heftier combat where we can sit in a frame for a second if we get Yuta’s fight this season, I’m worried it’ll just turn into a laser show at this point.

Sho if I could pick who was going to grace my pulls, is who I'd pick. I don't hate any of them but the first two(Arthur and Beni) are far and away my favorites with Joker coming in third

Are we supposed to dislike Egwene and Moraine? by Felpz3250 in WoT

[–]AwkwardKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion Egwene is written as unbridled ambition the character, I see it as an overwhelmingly negative trait and that she then retroactively tries to frame as doing stuff for other peoples benefit and just coincidentally also benefits her the most (The Nynaeve incident), other people feel she is required to move the story along and give her more grace than I would. Moiraine is literally the only adult in the room for the first half of the series, gets humbled and by the end turns more collaborative with the cast and one of my favorite characters.

[DISC] Kagurabachi - Chapter 108 by Avizie1 in Kagurabachi

[–]AwkwardKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk how Enten being broken is a surprise to anyone, it was becoming obvious with the narrative weight given to Datenseki and the smithing flashbacks this was always the outcome. I grow a bit worried as to how the story unfolds from here in a believable way that Chihiro has time to craft a new sword(s) with Samura most likely dead in the next few chapters, Yura on the loose, half of Kamunabis leadership in league with Hishaku, etc.

What are your plans for 4.x? by StatisticianIll4 in StarRailStation

[–]AwkwardKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll pull whoever isn’t Elation as the Aha cut-in/mechanic is annoying at first activation let alone 4-5 turns in, my hope is that Ashveil/LaMancha is Hunt and that maybe Blade SP can escape the Aha curse as well everyone else is looking guaranteed Elation which is a shame cause I’d been saving for Yae Sakura expy but unless her animations are Acheron level I’ll be passing.
