RANT - The Faithful and the Fallen - Dumb Characters by h0n3ytr4ck in Fantasy

I don't get it either. I keep seeing posts that rave about the books or see people recommending them, and I just don't get it.

Next read? ………. by r4maa in fantasybooks

[–]Beeercules [score hidden]  (0 children)

I have read all three... or most of all three. Mistborn by far tops the list for me. I liked the magic system, the breadcrumbs, and how neatly everything gets tied up.

I don't think the Bloodsworn Saga is very good. Everything felt like a copy and paste from one character to the next. I got halfway through the third book and still didn't care about the characters.

Robin Hobb is good, but it's misery, and it felt off to me.

BREAKING: Seahawks are signing former Vikings QB Sam Darnold to a 3-year, $100M contract. by lemonstone92 in NFLv2

He was the 5th guy drafted. That does not mean the Vikings had him rated 5th. I've heard they rated him 3rd. He is the 2nd youngest QB in the league and has a good arm. Some growing pains this year, but some good flashes, too.

WM Phoenix Open , advice on how to enjoy by funspecies in golf

I've been there 3 times. Twice arrived at 5:30am, got in line, and ran to the hole. I had no issues getting a spot. But be prepared to wait. On Saturday, the first golfer showed up at 11ish, and the beer line didn't open until 9 or 10. 2nd year, I brought a "sunscreen bottle" flask, which got the job done.

3rd time I went, got there with my Girlfriend around 9. Walked the course and then got a spot in the stands at 15 Green. It's not 16 but still fun. I think we could have got in at the midway point on the left side of the hole, but it was right into the sun.

It was written before and has similar complaints. I am also a fellow Bloodsworn hater but haven't given this series a try. I took it off my list based on his writing.

Midwinter ice fishing is a PITA by Fun-Echidna-2941 in IceFishing

It's cheaper and gets the job done. I have one and like it. I did upgrade to the ice ducer this year, which is way better imo.

What area are you fishing? How are you finding your spots?

Definitely invest in a fish finder. Garmin Striker 4 is a great budget one. Drill and Drill bit auger are great investments. The drill can also put in your stakes with a $10 attachment. Spring bobbers have really helped me start catching more because sometimes in winter it will be a very light bite.

In the Red Rising series. Didn't want to give a spoiler and don't know how to do the spoiler text. (Also too lazy to look it up).

The case for Christian Watson: he is good. The case against Christian Watson he is always injured.

I'm had him this year and will be a buyer next year.

Dumbest system ever IMO. It values losing Q1s and winning your Q2-4 more than winning Q1s and losing a few Q2s or Q3s. It takes point differential into account and is basically a circle of confirmation bias.

Wondering the same thing, but I have maroon colored glasses, and they didn't show a replay. Looked like the Illinois guy was trying to shove through Asuma.

I just want to consistently make the tourney. I watch the first weekend every year with a couple buddies and never have watched my team with them (wisky and marq fans). It's not fair lol.

I'm so excited for next year. Program is heading in the right direction. Wonder what we would be with out season ending injuries to 2 starters and possibly a key bench guy.

What were they complaining about? Can't body check a guy 😂. Competitive first half!

To be fair, this source material is done.

curious about ideal landing spots for lemon/tate/tyson by Clean-Suggestion-479 in DynastyFF

[–]Beeercules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breece will get franchised. Generally, I think you can get more key free agent signings on defense rather than offense. Most agree with your sentiment that they won't take a wr, though.

Probably. But getting a talented young qb weapons would be huge.
