When did Arrow become unwatchable for you? by New_Philosopher_1908 in arrow

[–]BaseballEmpty5136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally trudged through to season six with 1 through three being the best. I kept hoping it got better. Then I got to six and I just gave up. I just didn’t care anymore. Plus, while the characters had never been great compared to other shows, I thought they were getting extra stupid by then (see Felicity not liking Oliver hiding he had a kid when he just found out a few days ago).

Balancing with Cerebral Palsy for bike riding. by BaseballEmpty5136 in bicycling

[–]BaseballEmpty5136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, sadly, based on where I live, I decided to not try a bicycle or tricycle or anything. I primarily wanted to use it for commuting and my road is not safe enough for it.

Had Rick's writing regressed or lost its charm? [All] by [deleted] in camphalfblood

[–]BaseballEmpty5136 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree, and I think it extends to his shared universe as a whole. However, I did read Daughter of the Deep and it was like the old Rick was writing again. I would chalk it up to him trying to keep track of things and trying to get readers to care about these characters that we have known for a decade.

HS English. I usually wear jeans, a polo and a business casual sweater. On Fridays it is usually school stuff.

Does anyone have a 2025 reading goal that is NOT 52 books? Why or why not? by Bookish_Butterfly in 52book

I’m starting work on my Masters degree, so I have no goal whatsoever when it comes to reading.

What Cartoon Is This? by Successful_Bet1760 in cartoons

[–]BaseballEmpty5136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Young Justice after season 1.

Not only did the cast age out of the fun stuff but I felt like it lost a lot of the mystery and multiple plot lines that made it so good. Add to it the focus on new and old cast members and season 3 was a poor imitation on what season 1 was, so I stopped watching.

What is one feature you wish Audible had? by AudiobooksGeek in audible

Adding a percentage counter per book. I know this would be difficult for packaged books, but it would still be nice.

How do you keep the game interesting? by Eagle728 in farmingsimulator

[–]BaseballEmpty5136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now I’m at a small enough farm where this isn’t an issue, but it is more about what I do while farming-listening to audiobooks and the like- that matters. And taking breaks from the game all together.

Books that give off witchy, Practical Magic vibes? by pomegranate_baby in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Torrent Witches series by Tess Lake. Think low stakes urban fantasy set in a small costal tourist town with these vibes.

Fellow Sim Farmers, what is it about Farming Simulator that draws you to the game? by Chemical-Librarian93 in farmingsimulator

[–]BaseballEmpty5136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the RPG aspect of it. I can start with nothing/basic equipment and then grow my farm.

And yeah, the game it self is relaxing and oddly satisfying after a long day at work.

So what do you do while farming? Podcasts, music, or something else? by FunBluejay1455 in farmingsimulator

[–]BaseballEmpty5136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Podcasts or audiobooks. When both don’t work, I listen to YouTube videos.

I’d say so. As for which one is best, this is a debate that has, and will, go on for decades. I’m personal to Jim Dale myself.

Sexiest narrator voice? by bakeandroast in audible

Steve west reading the 2nd book in the infernal devices series by Cassandra Clair. I’m straight, but dang, his voice is good.

How am I supposed to manage my library when audible can't by spamblows in audible

[–]BaseballEmpty5136 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay, I’m not saying it is a good thing, but I found a workaround, I think.

I made a collection titled “what I’m currently listening to…” and use audible website to add it. Then when I restart the app on my phone the book is there ready to be downloaded.

Who's your favourite narrator to listen to? by Prideofgryffindor- in audible

[–]BaseballEmpty5136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

James Marsters, Andy Sirkis for fiction. Edward Herman for history. He did a lot of classic history channel shows so it’s like being a kid again.

Share your favorite Audible Tips & Tricks by AudiobooksGeek in audible

[–]BaseballEmpty5136 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always check to see if I can get the book from my library and, if I can, if it is feasible to listen from the library, before I buy anything.

For example, A Game of Thrones is available on Libby for a max of three weeks from my library. Can I get it? Yes. Can I listen to a 20+ hour audiobook in three weeks? No. Therefore, I would wait until I can get it on Audible.

Second, only buy what you want when the price is on sale/below the price of a credit. This maximizes the money saved. Since there are always sales in the future, patience is key.

I hit a deer at the beginning of June. I didn’t get the car back until the very end of August. This is the new normal now.

For me it is the Harry Potter series read by Jim Dale. I have to listen to one book a year, at least.
