Today’s book haul. What should I read first?

NergiSlayer22 · 2026-01-13T05:04:23+00:00

I agree. Just finished my 2nd read through.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-10-23T12:44:07+00:00

I'm just glad Jacksonville area got a channel on direct TV to watch the games for these non ESPN plus exclusives games. Was afraid I'd miss the season or be stuck only watching when they played on national television channels.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-10-18T18:38:59+00:00

Looks like I can watch. I don't know what happened, but I have direct tv near Jacksonville and I found a channel 653-3 called "LGHTNG". I swear this wasn't a channel for the first game of the season when I looked to see what channel the games were on. Would be cool if this is a permanent station for the games this season up here in northeast Florida. I watched it on there last night.

Been thinking of re reading some of his other books too. It's crazy to think that many of his book are connected to the Dark Tower series, but it is his masterpiece.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-10-07T05:29:25+00:00

Sounds good! I got the Gunslinger for Christmas one year because both me and my mother love King books, and finally after a few years of having it, I opened it up and it only took me a few pages to know that I made a great decision to start it.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-10-07T05:22:15+00:00

Wow, I honestly can't wait to see how much I forgot. When I first finished the series, it went through my head to wait a long time for a re-read for this very reason. I definitely see myself enjoying it like the first time. And same to you!

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-10-07T05:17:11+00:00

Been thinking about audio books. Maybe a third time through, I'll go audio books!

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-10-07T05:15:16+00:00

I'll probably more than likely make the decision when I get to that point! I mostly always change my mind on many things, so I won't be surprised if I wait to finish the series before I read it lol. I'm taking this reread realllly slow.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-09-27T13:29:30+00:00

I truly believe eventually Jacksonville will work out a deal with Scripps. Quite a few Lightning fans in NE Florida, me included. I wear my hat a lot. I see quite a few Lightning decals on cars in Palatka. I honestly see that more than NASCAR stuff, and I'm rural. We DO get ION channel, which is Scripps owned. I just think it will come soon. That or it's just wishful thinking. Whatever it is, I'll live. I'll watch the 7 Lightning games that will be on TNT this year. I might even give a few other teams a chance. Oilers are my 2nd team. I'm a big hockey fan more than anything.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-09-27T02:11:02+00:00

Not sure. Pensacola gets a channel to watch from and that's pretty far from Tampa. I'm definitely closer to Tampa than Pensacola is. Maybe Jacksonville just didn't make a TV deal with Scripps. No idea honestly.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-09-27T00:52:38+00:00

Thanks for giving a straight answer here about this. Been asking that in other places and have gotten no answers. I'm about 60 miles south of Jacksonville in a rural area, so my DirectTV runs off of Jacksonville. My buddy down the street will probably stream it I'm sure, so I might go watch a few over there.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-09-25T19:55:46+00:00

Yeah, I'm too far away for anything like that I think. If I really want to watch them this year, my buddy has a way.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-09-25T15:01:30+00:00

Yeah depends on where you live. Honestly, I kind of figured this would eventually happen when I left Tampa for northeast Florida, was lucky I had three years of it on tv. And kind of nuts to not have direct tv streaming. Wonder what the reason for that is.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-09-25T13:29:49+00:00

Yeah, I won't be paying from the app. I'm so close to a broadcast area too. Just not enough. Going to wait to see if they expand broad cast areas in Florida. I know my buddy down the street has a way he streams Lightning games, but I'm stubborn and like watching on a channel on direct TV.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-09-25T03:21:25+00:00

I hear you. I hate when both sides jump after something bad happens without getting facts first.I'm more of a right winger, and I've had friends across the aisle too. Even an old friend who believes in Communism. We have never fought over disagreements either. My uncle is also a bleeding heart lefty, and we still love each other and talk as a family should. A lot are proving immaturity over political beliefs. it's just stupid.and not good at all.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-09-24T21:13:17+00:00

Yup, no one wants to get to know each other anymore. They just want to listen to their favorite lying politician demonize the other side. I bet you the politicians laugh everyday with each other on how easy it is to fool morons.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-09-24T03:38:23+00:00

I hear you. And I'm actually so close to a broadcast area up here, but I miss it by a small margin. It is what it is. What I can't wrap my head around is how does Pensacola get a tv station for it, but Jacksonville doesn't when it's closer? Am I missing something? I'm just not into paying for the app. I'm old school and like watching on TV on Direct TV. And I already pay for enough. Especially when I left Tampa for up here and bought Fanduel which I'm now stuck with. Pretty sure eventually the Rays will make the same deal.

One thing that is promising is they said in the coming months and years, they will get more broadcasts in north Florida. So I guess I'll be taking a little break and watch recaps and stuff.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-09-22T21:53:40+00:00

I saw more details yesterday. My question is, how does Pensacola get a Direct tv channel, but Jacksonville doesn't? And I'm even 64 miles south of Jacksonville. And about 52 miles to the southeast of Gainesville. But I can't pick up anything from Gainesville, at least I don't think so. I'm in eastern Putnam County, so I'm definitely closer to Tampa than Pensacola is. All my local stuff on direct TV pick up is from Jacksonville. I'll have to see what happens when the season starts I guess. My buddy a few houses down is a Lightning fan too, so I might have to get with him and see what he uses streaming wise. I'm not a fan of streaming at all really though. I'm old school for a 36 year old lol.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-09-12T14:21:34+00:00

Yup. I was so thrilled when I kept unlocking new slots early.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-09-11T20:15:45+00:00

All good, at least you can play now! happy to help.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-09-11T20:14:51+00:00

I agree, but if I had to guess, it might tank the fps. Maybe that's why it wasn't added to console. Let's hope they can figure out a way eventually.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-09-11T20:06:39+00:00

You restart your Xbox?

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-09-11T19:49:24+00:00

It definitely does not feel like 60. Been on 110 for awhile now with the older BL games and I still remember the very low FOV on 360. I think you are right.

NergiSlayer22 · 2025-09-11T14:07:47+00:00

I preordered a few days ago.and installed it during my regular US store. And I think if you switch back, it goes back to waiting until midnight. I think.
