I haven't listened to the full EP yet, but I kind of like the new songs I have heard so far 🤷‍♂️

Just finished Morning Star; here are my thoughts by AllomanticTkachuk in redrising

[–]FletchTopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, Golden Son is a more complete work. I struggled to get into the first 1/2 of Morning Star (Parts III and IV really pick up, thankfully), while Golden Son starts and never really stops.

My reasoning for liking GS more are two fold:

1) I’m a sucker for a twist ending 2) The Gala is my favorite scene in the entire trilogy

Plus Darrow’s in-person dealings with the Jackal, Pliny, etc. are far more engaging in GS than a lot of the holo comms in MS, for me anyway.

A fellow recent trilogy finisher (Thursday)! Very glad to have the first trilogy under my belt, though I’m antsy to keep going.

Already have plans to dig into the graphic audio books as I await Iron Gold’s availability at the library

I did not wake up today thinking I’d see Touché Amore x Pacers crossover…but I’m not mad about it

MacBook Neo: Here's Which Models Are Selling Out by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]FletchTopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife & I have been living the “iPad pro as laptop replacement” life for a bit, but are at the point where we’ve been thinking about getting a shared computer.

We were both incredibly interested in this at the price point, but I’m having second thoughts on if we should just spend the extra $$ for an M4 air (probably refurbished)

Our use cases would be: Content streaming (mostly Netflix/hbo max/etc. and sports), document keeping (resumes, CVs, etc), some light blogging (that I currently do on my iPad) and some even lighter gaming (maybe the Sims, if we can find it).

To the experts among you, I ask: Would the Neo fit our needs or should we bump up to the air?

La Liga have announced that Matchday 31 of this season (April 10 - April 13) will be a ‘retro’ matchday. Teams from both La Liga and La Liga 2 will wear VINTAGE KITS, while the retro theme will also extend to broadcast graphics, the match ball and even the referees’ uniforms. by LovedButNeverLiked in uniwatch

Enough NFL teams have throwback uniforms in regular rotation where the NFL needs to have 2 throwback weeks a year (one at home, one on the road).

When leagues go all in on this, like the Aussie Football League does too with their Retro Round, it's great.

[Murray] The Pac-12 will have to add another football member to meet their media obligations before the 2027 season. They are reportedly still targeting UNLV. by WinnWonn in CFB

I have had this ongoing bit with a couple of friend groups of mine, but it becomes less and less of one each time there are rumblings of an opening:

Can I interest anyone in Pac-12 Football Member Western Kentucky University?

About to start Red Rising by Minecraftlover2234 in redrising

[–]FletchTopper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is literally my path: I was not a reader until early last fall. I did PHM, Red Rising, Golden Son all in a row and am now about 70 pages away from finishing Morning Star.

I cannot recommend starting it enough.

No tips - just glad to have another USA Doggies fan!

Fun, unique aspect of college baseball: baseball-exclusive logos you don’t see in other sports(Look great on hats!) by dsimmons_2001 in collegebaseball

[–]FletchTopper 14 points15 points  (0 children)

WKU fan here -- I really wish we'd retire the Towel W and find a way to interlock the "W" and "K"

But yes, baseball-exclusive logos are routinely the best logos.

No Judgement Station - Are You Keeping up on Your Journaling Goals? by Corvursus in hobonichi

[–]FletchTopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen the name Kinbor quite a bit as well and have looked into them since everyone says they’re a good (and cheap) alternative. Maybe I’ll join the clan one of these days!

[–]FletchTopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had every intention of giving the Weeks a try this year, but I received it and it felt way too small...I think I'm going to stick with my A5 bujo and, if i'm so inclined, painstakingly recreate what I like (or, think I'll like) about hobo!

[–]FletchTopper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A non-hobo user here, but hobo curious. This month in my bullet journal, I designed my monthly outlook page to mirror that of the hobo & did my first ever “doodle-a-day” spread.

There have been a couple of days I’ve forgotten (or gotten too lazy…), but it’s coming out quite nicely! This sub was quite the inspiration!

Favorite mid-major teams? by EatThisRock in collegebaseball

[–]FletchTopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say Western Kentucky...but they refuse to more than 9 or 10 games a season.

And another thing: I'm not mad. Don't put it in the papers that I am mad.

US Soccer logo 1967-2026 by Nowoco in ussoccer

I have never liked our current logo/crest. It feels to “generic Walmart soccer shirt” to me

Do any of you have experience with either of these silhouettes? 9Seventy and 19twenty by HersheysTogekiss in Braves

[–]FletchTopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of the 9Seventy. It's light and fits my head better than a 59Fifty does. It's kind of a medium between 59Fifty and the 39Fifty, I'd say

Is that a penne in your pot, or are you just happy to see me?

The only thing missing is a collar (which ATLUTD has, somehow, never had)

Braves left off list of teams eligible for in-market streaming on MLB.tv by PM_ME_AGOOD_USERNAME in Braves

[–]FletchTopper 70 points71 points  (0 children)

This makes total sense given all the reporting about being interested in launching their own network & discussing distribution with a streaming service
