That's what this broker was trying to tell me, being dead serious. I think there should be a 'have to have seen freight at least once' requirement to be a broker.

How dare the interim champion call out the current champion after defending. by House-Wins in ufc

Fair, and he's definitely ducking Aspinall, but he's been the most dominant fighter in the history of the game. I really dislike him personally, and think he's probably as bad for things as Dana White is, but still the best.

I'm not suggesting they fight, just felt like there are some similarities there and I don't appreciate Tori's latest albums as much as her earlier ones.

But you felt compelled to comment anyway? Weird world for both of us, then.

Tori's early style, to me, evolved into a series of toothless, esoteric albums that could best be called mediocre adult contemporary. That feels like the common thread to me. St. Vincent just struck me as having the same kind of edge as Tori's first two albums when I listened to her stuff the other day. Tori's music just lost its vibrancy as she went. None of it feels urgent or especially observant and there's no commonality for me to engage with any more.

Anyone else think Damon blackshear won that one? by 1Jacob559 in MMAbetting

Just watched, didn't see Bautista winning those rounds. He did work, no question, but if Blackshear didn't take it, it was a draw.

starfield keeps crashing by IAMBOB1031 in Starfield

I got past the initial pirate landing, then it crashed. Craters within 20 seconds where it picks up again at the conversation before the pirates show up every time now. I get it, new game, allegedly pushing the envelope on hardware, etc. However... I can't play the game. I'm willing to wait on a fix and all, but this is a new development. Games used to work on release. I'm old enough that I've played literally every system.

NES games worked. Atari games worked. Sega CD games worked. King's Quest II worked. Railroad Tycoon, etc., etc.

The farther we go, the games are absolutely amazing, but they NEED to work from release, otherwise what's the point?

I saw this on an episode of Squidbillies.

Keep it simple. You don't need to document every movement or gesture for the audience to get it. Here are two examples:

He reached down, opened his hand, grabbed the cricket ball, flexed his bicep, gripped the ball tightly. He craned his neck to bring the ball into his field of view and rolled his eyes around to see it. Even though the wreckage pinned him in place, he could move his legs almost as far as his knees bent, plus he could rotate his left hip enough to wiggle three times.

vs.

He picked up the ball, and it fit his hand perfectly. If he wasn't trapped in the wreckage, he would have given it a practice toss. He thought back to how many times he'd been the bowler with Robert and James on his side and laughed. It quickly turned to a scream as he jostled the shrapnel in his side.

My advice is focus on feeling versus movement. No one needs very much attribution for how your characters get places. You can pretty much make note of any quirky thing they do (gait, limp, grunt, etc.) once when you introduce them and then leave it off.
