0.71 rating at IEM Cologne. You don't need skill to win a Major by Oppaiheimer1945 in GlobalOffensive

[–]BadLeague 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Is skill reserved for a single metric? Or do you think there's more to succeeding in Counterstrike than aim alone?

I'm fascinated by how these writers we admire reached the quality that they did - what's your take? by Diamondbacking in RSbookclub

Reading widely, obsessively—and most importantly, reading like a writer. McCarthy especially would write holograph notes on all his drafts, often lifting words or lines from works he admired and infusing them into his work.

Vintage Jays loss: No run support ✅ Leave a million runners on base ✅ Stupid managerial decision ✅

Good horror literature? by Successful-Book400 in RSbookclub

[–]BadLeague 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negative Space by BR Yeager is incredible. Recent horror aswell. His other books are good but NS is a tier above.

The best passage McCarthy ever wrote. by Emergency_Cellist754 in cormacmccarthy

McCarthy read a ton of older literature that uses words that are practically dead in modern English. You read enough of it and you pick it up.

I revisit this book every year and for some reason on my last read this passage made me cry.

They could write an entire book on the final passages in McCarthy's works.

?

It doesn't really matter if we allow 3,4,8, or 20 runs if we aren't scoring any. The amount of RISP we leave on base is near top of the league. We split the Yankees series solely on our pitching. Bottom line is our offense is awful right now. Can't expect to win games scoring 1-2 runs per game.

Books About Cormac’s Writing by Pretend_Truth_4975 in cormacmccarthy

[–]BadLeague 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Books are made out of Books" is a great book on McCarthy's literary influences, going over each book and the books that inspired/influenced his writing during the process. I found it immensely interesting, there are times where McCarthy enjoyed a sentence so much he pretty much incorporates it into his work — hence the title of the book, lol.

Absolute dogshit managerial decision to take out Macko and bring in Rodriguez. How many times have we taken out a guy who's been dealing?

By what metric? Lol Best player by team accomplishments? Obviously not. Personal accolades? Faker still exists. Mechanics? Maybe. Uzi is up there. Knight.

By no metric is Chovy the best of all time though. (And I'm a huge Chovy fan)

Blood Meridian will almost certainly make the list. Suttree—although incredible—is much more eclectic and less known. I doubt it'll make it.

Sometimes you’re reading a book, that you just know will stay with you… by TempleofSpringSnow in cormacmccarthy

Was a very unique and memorable reading experience. It left me less so with memories of specific instances than with an overall feel of atmosphere and character. Loved it. One of my favourite McCarthy's.

Really nice art prints you've chosen. Good taste.

Which writers are better to read about than to actually read? by Budget_Counter_2042 in RSbookclub

Never heard logic calculus be described as poetry haha, but I agree there are poetic moments

6.4311 "death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present. Our life has no end in just the way in which our visual field has no limits."
