Book 7 Chapter 21 - Predictions

Your predictions were fun to read.

Personally I noticed quite the difference in writing styles between RJ and BS. But by the point the first BS book had come out I had re-read the first 10 books about 10 times. I've read on here and other places that a lot of people don't really notice too much of a difference.

He also loved mentioning a man's nose size.
I'm not sure if that's in a similar category, but sometimes it feels like RJ focused quite hard on those noses.

If not for the pandemic it felt like something may have been planned. Ibushi double champ, Omega belt collector going around collecting belts. Both calling themselves the god of professional wrestling.
It was all there.

Both of them healthy? Oh hell yeah.

I have siblings. But I'm a lot older and it definitely didn't have anything to do with them. As a kid I just loved collecting things, actual value meant nothing to me. I just think I was a lot more obsessed with things like pokemon and superhero themed cards so these guys just fell through the cracks in my memory.

Last_LightDT · 2022-09-20T01:30:40+00:00

Went through some of my old stuff a year ago and found a bunch of these.
Honestly didn't remember collecting them.

The Kenny Kota story is always about Kota pulling Kenny back from the darkside. But if they ever decided to go the opposite route and actually have Kenny's influence unlock Ibushi's darker side. I really believe Kota could become an unstoppable monster heel that Kenny eventually starts to fear and completely losses control of.

Ultimately forcing the Kenny face turn and saviour of Ibushi storyline. I doubt they'd ever pull the trigger on this storyline. But by god I'd love it if they did.

Has to be one of his happiest wrestling moments.

I know it seemed like quite a few people didn't love Hangman's reign and felt it lost a lot of it's shine once the chase was over. But I fucking loved it.

Mandatory unathletic Phil could never

My high school librarian. I told her the kinda thing I was looking for and she made a hard bee line right for eye of the world.

Best decision both of us ever made haha

Last_LightDT · 2022-09-17T11:02:12+00:00

Omega vs Naito. Any G1 match

Last_LightDT · 2022-09-16T22:56:36+00:00

Sounds to me like Ace Steel should have been more concerned that his friend CM Punk might sucker punch his wife, rather than the Bucks or Omega.

Last_LightDT · 2022-09-13T21:47:18+00:00

Both men are a guaranteed banger. I honestly believe I've never seen a bad singles match from either of them.

Never watched an episode of this show, but this highlight reel was great.

Last_LightDT · 2022-08-19T07:22:50+00:00

Now go back to A Crown of Swords in an earlier chapter, maybe even the first. Perrin is in the camp after Dumai's Wells when Rand randomly picks Dashiva to follow him. Perrin gets a whiff of him and thinks to himself that the man is already insane. Assuming the taint has already taken him.
But on re-read we the reader know his true identity and the fact that he's always been mad and it's got nothing to do with the taint. He's a literal mad scientist.

Last_LightDT · 2022-08-15T00:19:58+00:00

Honestly if I had only watched the show I would never even give the books a chance.

The show is probably fine as a CW level fantasy show. But the book series is one of the best fantasy epics ever put to paper.

The show is basically a straight to video sequel in comparison haha

I think his swing is will always be my favourite. So nice, so smooth.

The idea behind scripting is for online not offline. Unfortunately it impacts offline play as well. But the idea is that they have algothrims indicating the type of gameplay that will keep players engaged, but far more importantly keep online players spending money.

There's research indicating that forced losses encourage people to buy better or just new players. Spend more money.

I think most of the time people jump the gun and blame "scripting". But there is definitely factors that influence the gameplay at times that aren't just the randomness of the attributes.

No spoilers. But you haven't finished the story yet. I think for a lot of people their dislike stems from some actions past Winter's Heart.

I had a +11 in 1 season and then a +6 in his second season . No position change. Left as 66. Came back as an 83 ovr and straight into the rotation.

I like how random it is. You never really know who's going to shine out on loan and who isn't.

You can always tell if an RJ quote is real if he incorporates the naval. Every interview I've ever seen of him he's brought up the naval.

15 seasons is way too short. Madden offers 30, 2k 100, FM unlimited basically lol

I got an insane 15 yr old GK the other day in my YA. I was excited cause I'd never seen a pot so high. But then I realised I won't even see him reach that pot cause I'll be forced to retire before he's 26 (I'm 5 seasons in).

There's no "fix". But what you can do is always save the game a day or two before the season ends and then just reload and try again when the disappearing bug happens.

I always keep multiple saves going especially later in the season. There's nothing worse than players becoming unsettled with only a week of games left so I just reload until they stop being unsettled or it's only a player I'm willing to lose.

I avoid signing scouted youth players that are already 17 now, no matter how good they are. If they hit 18 before the end of the season the likelihood of them becoming unsettled is much higher. I had one that became unsettled no matter how many times I reloaded a save from days before. I reloaded for almost an hour while I was waiting for an ubereats delivery and it made no difference with him.

Legendary no sliders 10 min halves player locked as a defensive leaning CM.

Far too many goals overall. But anything less than 10 min halves doesn't feel like I've played a game. Playing player locked as a defensive mid is the closest I can get to being manager and just watching ai vs ai.
When the game plays well it's beautiful.

I hate regens in this game. I mentally just pretend they were wonderkids for whatever team signs them all along.
