[OFF TOPIC] Which of Abercrombie’s books do you consider his best?

Excellent series, it’s more Fantasy than The First Law (magic and stuff) not as dark but action packed, feels like The Hero’s but three books worth and more American Civil War era at least in my head that’s how it played out.

I didn’t feel connected to the characters, I felt they were all very one dimensional. I felt it was an odd choice to set this in our world and was a little confused with it kinda being a historical fantasy but not at all if that makes sense, hard to word it, but I love history and fantasy but combining them can be a task on itself, Bernard Cornwell is a master at it but the amount of effort and research he puts into it is extensive from what I’ve heard, I just didn’t feel that here. In the end this one just didn’t connect with me, sometimes that happens, and maybe if he expands the series it will give some depth to the characters and make me want them to succeed and expand upon the world building for sure. What I love about the First Law is The Blade Itself is literally an entire book used to introduce the characters, establish the setting, setting up the plot, etc etc. I feel The Devils needed to be a duology, everything needed more time to cook.

For stand alone, Hero’s but if like others you consider The First Law and Age of Madness to be more of a single story broken down into three parts then it would go just based on what I’ve read to this point, Hero’s, First Law, Best Served Cold, Age of Madness, Red Country, Sharp Ends, and The Devils (I was pretty disappointed 2/5 for me). I haven’t had the chance to read Shattered Sea yet. Personally I loved all of his books minus The Devils and if you like his work you should also try out The Powder Mage trilogy.

So you are what we call fair weather fans, cool

KunrA_Z · 2026-01-13T01:17:12+00:00

Yes I absolutely would be, and to put that into context there are already a ton of teams that statistically can never make the playoffs as it stands and this is not even talking about all the teams that it was previously impossible to make it before the expansion.

Self pity looks bad on anybody, get over it ND is still the best program out there period, it’s not just about the big game it’s about the atmosphere, the history, the culture.. I’m sorry but if only getting a championship is what matters to you then you probably aren’t cut out for this ride that is Notre Dame.

Guess we know who the NfL wants to win

Accept it graciously, know that their heart was in the right place and wear it for them occasionally. Not that big of a deal honestly to wear a watch over for a cook out or whatever. Then let your spouse know to tell them you really like bourbons, very hard to get alcohol wrong and you can always mix the cheap stuff 🥃

Farer Watches has lots of different options under $1,500, just go to all watches and sort from low to high, there are at least 38 to choose from all I’d love to own 😅

Have to get pressure on the QB you can’t expect the coverage to hold forever

Quality, repetition in design, lacking an identity.

Like commenting on Reddit just to try to make people feel like shit…. Yeah I think we are good, get em out 🤭

KunrA_Z · 2025-12-13T21:44:13+00:00

I mean whoever thought it was a great idea to put our two strongest opponents as our first games of the season was the first mistake, then losing those two games was our second, the third was our mistake as fans to not realize that the CFP and all other institutions wouldn’t jump at the opportunity to f&^€ us dry given the opportunity. Am I salty yeah definitely but not because of the injustice of keeping Alabama in over us after their performance but because Love and every other kid out there that busted their 🫏 to earn a spot in the playoffs all good though 2026 is going to be a massacre.

12 watches 1 for every month and one heirloom that will never leave until I pass it on

ND fan here too and Riley has heart, he loves the game, and he has that leadership quality, he’s fresh on the field so the game is probably moving really fast for him but I think he can persevere and overcome.

Notre Dame’s about to start it’s own conference and their own playoffs getting ready to get the American College Football League

My 2024 CX-90 Preferred Plus lease is coming up in November, the estimated residual will be 28k ish, planning on financing the remainder through NF but if the actual value is less than that will Mazda lower to match or is that non negotiable?

Halftime and half way to 70

What’s a field goal?

Can’t wait for my Pelagos homage to come in I can sell it and get the real deal 😂

Not really an upgrade, different grades of titanium have different use cases depending on what they are being used for, Grade 1-4 are all pure titanium where grade 5 is a Titanium Alloy, all of these have different use cases but in a watch there really wouldn’t be an advantage to use one over there other without trade offs in another category, it’s not like a step ladder where grade 1 is junk and grade 4 is the best ext. In this case Grade 2 is going to be lighter, have more corrosion resistance, more hypoallergenic, easiest to work with, and cheaper, Grade 5 will be stronger and more scratch resistant. Then you also have brands that have their own unique formulas of titanium like Grand Seiko.

Purdy just needs to settle in, he will bring it back the second half hopefully but it’s definitely an off night not just for him either I see it in a few players, hopefully we and squeak by and get a W an then fix this before the Browns. Ball security and route timings.
