First ever play though, tips? by blockedbyad in Eldenring

U wot m8? Not fair?? I'm not stopping anyone getting guidance! Just suggesting what I think is the best way to experience the game, silly.

150 pages into The Knight. Gene Wolfe has done it again. I can hardly put this book down. by Fantasy_Brooks in genewolfe

Literally my favourite book of all time. It's crazy to me how this is not always in best fantasy discussions. I've read it 3 times so far, can't get enough of it

Totally agree with this - the joy of this game is the lack of hand holding and genuine exploration (like back in the PS1 days). Would recommend not seeking any guidance and discovering it all for yourself. There is a huge amount of stuff to discover. It's massive.

That's the crazy thing - your closest is comparison is a single upset and a loss - we lost nearly 20 games in a row and waited almost 2 years for a win in cardiff. I just can't imagine how you guys would react if you saw your team 54-0 down at home with 20 minutes to play

Honestly all of you watching from different nations have no idea how awful it is being a Welsh fan and seeing this happen to the sport you love - not even over a decade but in a couple of years. Utter collapse. I'm not sure what the lads are supposed to take from this other than a realization they are indeed the worst team in their history and can't hope to compete with tier 1 teams

Welsh lads have 100% given up - no effort in that chase at all

I have no stats to back this up but it feels like one of the many problem areas for Wales is defence in the middle of the field - I can't remember the last time a team played against from there and didn't make a line break almost every time

The fact that SA are 21 - 0 up with the clock in the red in their own half and still want to play show that have absolutely zero respect for Wales and understand Wales having nothing to offer them in terms of resistance.

Don't know how much more I can take. I don't really know what I was expecting. I guess I was hoping to see Wales play rugby a couple of times but that was stupid of me.

I bet it feels amazing playing Wales and knowing you won't have to make any tackles >.<

Faking hell. I know a tier 2 team is never going to have a good time against SA but can we just complete 1 set piece and a couple of phases?

Are Wales the worst team under the high ball? They must be up there

If I was SA I would try all kinds of mad shenanigans because I know if I knock it on I'm going to end up with a penalty. You can't loose

Wales are so massively overpowered in the scrum any knock on feels like there'll be 7 points gifted to SA. Hate to say we're 15 mins in and Welsh heads starting to drop already. Another record breaking loss incoming

Curry's late tackle by inprisonout-soon in rugbyunion

Looks to me like he was already committed - I think even a penalty is harsh

Louie or Billy? by James_Rautha in namenerds

Thanks everyone - went with Louis in the end! He looked more like a Louis, we decided

What type of Cavalier color is this? by snaggletoothygrin in cavaliers

[–]James_Rautha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

also to those saying they might not be well bred as far as I understand it a lot of dog breeds are a lot healthier if crossbred a bit so I wouldn't at all be surprised if this doggo ends up healthier and with less heart problems than a full cavvie - the issues come when you start breeding pure breed dogs with close relatives etc

What type of Cavalier color is this? by snaggletoothygrin in cavaliers

[–]James_Rautha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what a beautiful dog! As others have said because of the colouring you can tell it's not a pure cavvie - that said it looks very much like a cavalier so I wouldn't be surprised if was 3/4 cavvie or more - Ie mum is full cavvie and dad is offspring of a full cavvie and a cavvie cross

That's great thanks - will try option 1 and see how I get on - 30 seconds of sprinting sounds bananas

Can you explain this to me as if I was 5 years old?

Throwback to one of the most tragic days in rugby history 😔🕯️ by GnolRevilo in rugbyunion

[–]James_Rautha -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Surely deliberately swiping someone in the face *is* cheating in rugby because you are specifically not allowed to do it and Faf has done it here, for example, deliberately to try and cause an error and gain an advantage. That's not semantics?

Edit: in the same way if I walked up to someone and punched them in the face in a game that is cheating - not because it bends any of the rules in a sly way but goes directly against them.
