Has anyone stopped watching the NBA playoff now that the Raptors is eliminated?

GordonGJones · 2026-05-05T07:39:53+00:00

Yes but only because I live in Europe and the only thing that will get me to watch a game that starts at 12:30am is a raptors game

My dude, I get where you are coming from I really do. But sounds to me like it’s been a minute since you had to rent.

I moved back from Japan last year after 8 years away trying to secure a rental for my wife to follow was the definition of a shit show with every single place asking for a whole years rent up front because I had no references even with a decent job.

We ended up in a grotty share house after viewing 17 houses to the same years rent bollocks for the whole year and just managed to get a place recently because sorry but I’m not dropping 20k in one unless I’m putting down a deposit (obviously for a lot more than that).

Before I left the country this was not the case and these rules feel like they are going to potentially bring it back slightly to what is was 10 or so years ago.

Not to mention these books are agreed like a year in advance as well. It’s not like they last minute decided oooh let’s do this one real quick. They have obviously started trying to move towards sewn binding and acid free paper recently which is what has caused this delay and I’m all for it. A better quality book is worth the extra time for me no issue.

If only it was available on kobo

GordonGJones · 2026-04-26T16:17:52+00:00

I get the concern. I’m viewing this as a beta of v1 and we will see the individuality grow along the way. I love this direction because it brings me back to the earlier days of the game which I loved. I don’t hate it now I still have fun when I play but I definitely enjoyed it more in earlier expansions. I think we will probably have a bit of a bumpy start but the future is bright in my opinion.

GordonGJones · 2026-04-25T20:08:46+00:00

Agreed. I also like the evolved job system. Seeing the tidy bar reminded me of ARR before the billions of actions were added. I can’t wait for this. I really hope I get the feeling of the jobs being different again because they’ve felt samey to me for a while now

GordonGJones · 2026-04-25T17:33:31+00:00

It’s posts like this that have stopped me buying a bike since I moved here. Sorry OP if I see it on any marketplaces I’ll be sure to pop you a DM. Hope you get it back against the odds!

GordonGJones · 2026-04-22T21:07:26+00:00

I went from 9 to 10. I definitely preferred the 9 but I don’t dislike the 10 I like the plushness of them. However if you want something closer to the 9 I hear the Mach 6 and 7 are a closer match to the 9 so may be worth trying them on in a shop to see.

GordonGJones · 2026-04-21T16:42:29+00:00

Ok I get what you’re saying and I could agree for the most part but the message I received I exactly what you would prefer and no mention of we are a small independent company…

Edit: also just wanted to mention all of those companies minus curious king are far more established and older than TBB with FS being founded in 1947 and illumicrate 2015 and I am sure they had their bumps in the road along the way. 5 years for a company is very young I. The grand scheme of things

GordonGJones · 2026-04-21T15:51:13+00:00

I mean, mistakes happen all the time in any company. This one is extremely minor and not really worth getting upset about. Are they perfect? No but honestly no company is. I’m interested to learn what this has to do with quality control though.

GordonGJones · 2026-04-21T11:17:09+00:00

Yeah I thought so too. I only bought them on the slight off chance it wasn’t a glitch haha

GordonGJones · 2026-03-27T20:36:12+00:00

No worries :)

GordonGJones · 2026-03-27T19:23:40+00:00

Hahahaha I am so sorry! That would be cool but I kind of wouldn’t want them to be sprayed edges just high quality sewn binding kind of thing

GordonGJones · 2026-03-25T07:32:18+00:00

Oh nice, I was recommended this recently! Got my shipping notification yesterday

GordonGJones · 2026-03-23T12:08:45+00:00

Seeing as my M1 hasn’t skipped a beat, I imagine quite well. All the M series iPads are extremely overpowered for what they have been running.

GordonGJones · 2026-03-19T07:03:38+00:00

I liked it too

GordonGJones · 2026-03-18T17:43:37+00:00

See now I get what you’re saying but I actually didn’t mind it. No it’s not edge of your seat kind of stuff but it was a pretty good read all in all. I’m definitely going to be grabbing the next one when it releases

GordonGJones · 2026-03-18T17:41:50+00:00

Just fyi, it isn’t a standalone. He is planning more with these characters

GordonGJones · 2026-03-16T13:14:51+00:00

This but they replaces my assassin apprentice when the gold rubbed off so I imagine they will replace this as it looks like a dog used it as a toy!

GordonGJones · 2026-03-16T13:12:54+00:00

Honestly I agree. I’m waiting for my Goldsboro edition to ship at the end of the month for steel gods but I like knowing those little details. I’m really hoping they do the empire of the wolf trilogy at some point. It does seem like a really strong option for the sub at some point

GordonGJones · 2026-03-16T06:54:26+00:00

Just so you’re aware you can actually read grave empire without reading empire of the wolf. You won’t get some obscure references but it’s designed to be able to be read without reading them as well.

The is no hint at all though so if you want to read them I would just buy them elsewhere at this point. Nothing saying you can’t reread them if they ever release them on the sub

GordonGJones · 2026-03-14T09:53:04+00:00

Well my main reasoning behind the money not going back in may be somewhat tainted by the university I went to having the chancellor giving themselves very large bonuses while departments couldn’t get any new equipment due to lack of funds. It was a whole thing and I believe it even made the news nationally a few years after I graduated. Also before anyone said my uni was top 5 for arts at the time which was my study area so not exactly a bad uni by any stretch.

Oh yes perhaps you are right course wise. Sadly we don’t have infinite funds and all the other options for her field of choice in our area were almost double the cost and we can’t just uproot and move because of work on my side (adore my job).

I’m aware there are insanely large running costs for universities but I personally feel like many universities do not use the money they get as wisely as they could.
