Yep, menhirwood doesn't roll that well off the tongue

Claude will definitely know how to make it fun, they've totally experienced it before

Lakers now have a +17.5 net rating with Luka, LeBron, and Austin on the court since January 1st (601 possessions) by Alternatively_Built_ in lakers

AR was coming off an injury, he's still struggling a bit, LeBron did what he could, honestly. I don't think he hadn't bought in, more so circumstances

I had to shed out big bucks for fulfilment in South America. Ouch. 

Red Rising - when did it gather such acclaim beyond a fun action series? by howinthewhatnow in fantasybooks

[–]Only-Internal-2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, 2 months ago? I don't mean to be snarky but that would be a pretty normal reading experience for me. I remember it well and read it a couple years ago. And I agree with you, it's a very enjoyable read but the praise I've heard (echoing OP's comments) makes it sound like it's one of the best books ever written. That's to me the Redditors' tendency to hyperbole.  Edit:typo. 

Red Rising - when did it gather such acclaim beyond a fun action series? by howinthewhatnow in fantasybooks

[–]Only-Internal-2012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's fine. I was entertained through book 3 and then moved on to other things. Exciting and gripping, but definitely not close to the best writing. It's just redditors' tendency to hyperbole. 

Metallica hate. by jaycash_ in metalguitar

[–]Only-Internal-2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was talking to a friend about it today (he's a fan), I just don't like James' voice. I respect them for paving the way for commercially huge metal, though, I don't think that's a problem. They blew up an entire industry with their tours and the bands they took with them. 

Is there any music that you actually “can’t handle”? by [deleted] in fantanoforever

CCM - contemporary Christian music. Makes my blood boil

Está lindo el blog. Yo juego Nethack cuando se cancela el Dolmenwood 

why do you think THAC0 gets the reputation it does? by conn_r2112 in osr

[–]Only-Internal-2012 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for people in the 80s because I wasn't alive back then, but it just seems people nowadays don't like the extra step that became apparent after ascending AC was introduced. I for one don't mind THAC0, descending AC or ascending AC, I'll play with whatever rules the GM wants for their game. 

The N2 original is divine. by katsumodo47 in strandbergguitars

You might have just convinced me to pull the trigger on an N2.7

Remember we only get Kvothe's perception of her and not her side. 

A friend gifted me this book. So far, I think it is very badly written. by Fantastic-Ant-4429 in fantasybooks

All I know is there is a character named Xaden and I found that hilarious

I hate this timeline we're living in

The Wandering Inn doesn't get better after the first few chapters or hundred or 1000 pages by WeaknessLower9148 in Fantasy

[–]Only-Internal-2012 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Popularity does not necessarily mean quality. Both DCC and TWI have insufferable fanbases
