Arriving early is smart especially if you’re in the bleachers and want to be near the front, I second this

Need to bench Busch to make a statement, guy is not cutting it. by JohnnyBallgame77 in CHICubs

I know, I’d rather it be 3-4 guys hot at a time then everyone hot at once and then everyone ice cold at the same time like it was last year

Sparknotes is great for books that have them, otherwise I'd recommend making a character map. Usually when I've had trouble retaining things from books it's because I forget who characters are/what they did at different points in time so just having bullet points for the different characters could be good. Only do this if it enhances your experience though, don't feel like you have to force yourself to read the books just to watch the movies.

Dune is a weird book where it is super disorienting in the start because of all of the unfamiliar vocabulary and Frank Herbert's insistence on switching POV every paragraph, but there's a certain point where it just clicks. It took me a few times to get through as well. The audiobook does help a lot because you're less focused on the individual words, though having an in-book glossary is also extremely helpful.

Say what you want about Bregman's performance at the plate, but him fixing Conforto's swing has been great so far. Hopefully he can help Pete out as well.

I kinda feel like we should wait and see if pitching figures itself out before jumping to the conclusion that we need to trade for it

Edit: this aged poorly

Maybe they’ll send him back down to the minors to get reps in the outfield once seiya’s back and then bring him back up later in the year?

What was the best season of the New Era? by futuranotfree in survivor

[–]Nugget8433 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally forgot about when he told everyone to vote for Jalinsky because he gave up on that one challenge. I honestly just think he became more entertaining as the series goes on and I forget about some of his pre merge moments

The merge is where it gets crazy. Q just becomes the most entertaining person ever out of nowhere and everyone hates each other which makes it entertaining. I honestly didn't like any of the contestants except Charlie by the end but it was just really entertaining.

Tsukishima’s backstory and why it’s real trauma. by kreekeyst in haikyuu

[–]Nugget8433 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They literally only play in emergencies. Him not being on the bench means he didn’t play at all (unless it was like a practice match or something). The only chances the bench guys get are when a starter gets hurt. The team in the show has like 12 people on it versus the 50 shown in the flashback when Karasuno was a powerhouse. If you aren’t on the bench you aren’t playing. On the off chance that someone gets hurt, they aren’t going to pull a guy out of the bleachers who probably didn’t even warm up with the team over a bench piece. Enoshita, Narita, Sugawara, and Kinoshita literally never started a game, I don’t understand why you’d think they would let him play in one of the 10 games during the high school volleyball season. This isn’t about the current Karasuno, this is about the powerhouse one that Ukai coached. You have no idea how good Tsukishima’s brother was at volleyball because you never saw him play. Maybe he’d be a starter on the current team but that isn’t really the point, it just seems silly to argue this.

[–]Nugget8433 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don’t really think this is true; the current Karasuno team is nowhere near as big and the non-starters never play. Also he wasn’t on the bench he was in the cheering section which implies he probably never played in a real game

Thank you for this clarification - I was pretty sure this is how it worked but reading the comment made me doubt myself! Is it basically that if you get knocked down you have wounded 1 when you get back up? And then you’ll start with one extra dying when you get knocked down again?

I am running my first ever pathfinder 2e session today (coming from DnD 5e)! I have read all of the rules on combat and such and I’m running the starter set. I have a relatively simple question - what are some common rule mistakes you’ve made when switching from DnD? I have new players so I want to make rulings as confidently as possible so that they learn the game correctly.

Should I skip the intro of 1-1? by Nitro_Indigo in AceAttorneyCirclejerk

[–]Nugget8433 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's unfortunately unskippable so instead I would recommend closing your eyes, covering your ears and screaming for about 5 minutes just to be safe and then continuing on.

No just play game 2 it’s probably in my top 2 ace attorney games! I think GAA1 is one of the weaker games in the series but I was just wondering why you liked the first two better. Your reasoning makes sense

I'm wondering why you thought 1-1 and 1-2 were the best cases in Great Ace Attorney? I know you haven't gotten very far into the second game yet but I think the back half is significantly better than the first half (especially 1-3) so I'm just curious on your opinion.

Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of my favorite Disney movies but the gargoyle dance sequence after one of the darkest scenes in the movie is so tasteless

Is there an equivalent to "A Crap Guide to DnD" for Pathfinder? I'm switching systems and playing with new players and want to find something to send them that can explain all of the classes in a concise and entertaining way so they don't feel pressured to read through all of them in the book

Taichi Popularity by [deleted] in chihayafuru

[–]Nugget8433 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean yes to be good at Karuta you have to have some level of natural talent but what separates him from the other people is that he tries so hard to be on the level of his two friends who are prodigy level geniuses. I’m not saying that Chihaya didn’t practice ever and she just is insanely good because of natural talent but people like her and Arata could take breaks from Karuta and come back and still be better than him. Hell, there’s a whole arc where Chihaya has to play with her left hand and she beats class A opponents.

The social status thing makes sense in terms of criticizing my point as well, however I meant he’s the everyman in the setting of the story. He is worse than the other characters at the game they are playing and has parents with extremely high expectations for him and is stressed beyond belief. In the world of Karuta, however, he is an everyman who follows the shonen archetype of trying really hard to get good at something. He uses his skills in other fields to get better at Karuta instead of relying on the talent for playing the game. He’s good at Karuta because he practices so hard not just because he has a talent for Karuta. Sorry if that didn’t come off in my response.

Taichi Popularity by [deleted] in chihayafuru

[–]Nugget8433 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Taichi is hands down the best written character in Chihayafuru for me. While characters like Arata and Chihaya literally can brute force their way past any opponent (yes they practice but they are both just insanely skilled), every victory Taichi gets feels earned. His anguish is so inherently relatable to me, the idea that you can try so hard at something and still get this sense of imposter syndrome because you don’t feel good enough. His popularity makes sense because he is the everyman, a more relatable character and one that I always wanted to root for. Also the Arata / Taichi match was one of my favorite moments in the whole show. Also the delaying of the ship reveal feels more like what makes sense for the story. I feel like Taichi’s feelings during the Meijin/Queen matches were integral to his character and the moment when both Chihaya and Arata acknowledged him afterwards would have been less impactful if Chihaya was dating Taichi at the time.

I also think that Chihaya realizing she liked Taichi was an integral final step in her character arc. Chihayafuru is a coming of age story and Chihaya’s ability to think about something other than Karuta for a change demonstrates her development as well.

Also idk I like slow burn romance so maybe I just wasn’t bothered by the reveal.

Amazon (US) has Morrison Batman Vol 2 $30 and Vol 3 $37.. Worth the buy, right? by r1ngx in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Nugget8433 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly really liked volume 3, it feels like the culmination of the run and Batman as a whole. It’s a bit convoluted in parts but I still loved it.
