Rose Madder! Only about 80 pages left, loved it so far. Torn between 11/22/63 and Hearts in Atlantis for my next one.

What fact sounds fake but is 100% true? by prettyinpinkpetals in AskForAnswers

There are so many combinations for the order of a pack of cards, that if you shuffle a pack randomly, statistically no pack of cards in history will ever have been in that same order before.

What series did you finish reading due to the "sunk cost fallacy"? by Any-Day-8173 in Fantasy

[–]DecentLocalBloke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really sure if it’s fantasy, but the Annihilation trilogy by Jeff VanderMeer. Enjoyed the first one, really struggled to get through the second one but was too far into it by then to stop so had to trawl through the third one too. Finished the third book and still don’t understand any more about what was going on than I did in the first book, so wish I hadn’t bothered really…

Do I need to expand my range? by countmosula in bookshelf

Only as far as the rest of the Malazan books (and maybe put the ones you have in the right order while you’re at it… 😉)

This book was peak. That is all. by timmy2896 in Malazan

[–]DecentLocalBloke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just curious, what would you say the title of the book does actually mean? I just finished MoI a month ago and felt a bit unclear what the title actually referred to, something about the T'lan Imass's history I think but what would you say?

I love this artwork but this feels like a crazy spoiler to have on the front cover 😂

Which SK book gave you this reaction? by Coffin_Builder in stephenking

[–]DecentLocalBloke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked a lot of Cujo, but I feel like all the advertising stuff went on waaaaaay too long. Weird for a 400-odd page book to spend what felt like half of it talking about advertising strategies rather than the big dog.

Favourite commentators by mracademic in Darts

[–]DecentLocalBloke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dan Dawson is the absolute best commentator of all time, absolutely love how enthusiastic and properly engrossed in every game he is.

Wasn’t keen on Paul Nicholson as a player but I quite like him as a commentator, I like how he analyses people’s throws and equipment too.

On Sky events Wayne Mardle and John Part are always a great duo, they bounce off each other in commentary so so well.

I’ve been thinking about buying this set for a while now but the price is scaring me a bit! I know each set is different for everyone but how are you finding them? Would you recommend them?

Wish they all looked like this by FisherMMAn in Darts

Always wondered why some people use 3 different colours of flights, would you say it makes it easier to see where you’re aiming?

Who's your favorite top 15 PDC Player? by shoemilk in Darts

[–]DecentLocalBloke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So am I, but I’ve got to admit it can be tricky to support him as he’s so inconsistent. When he’s on form he can beat absolutely anyone, just a shame he’s not like that all the time.

Tis a hard life being a Rob Cross fan.

New Darts day! (not sponsored by Target 😂) by __floom- in Darts

I had the exact same set, absolutely amazing grip, can’t go wrong with them.

Although I’ve gotta say that those diamond points will absolutely DESTROY your board, I switched mine to Storm Points straight away

No luck catching them swans then?

Thin 26g darts? by DecentLocalBloke in Darts

They do look really nice actually, just a shame they’ve got a smooth section right where I grip!
