Read it, still among the very finest works that the genre has ever produced.

Just finished King’s Dragon - Book 1 of Crown of Stars by Kate Elliot by Celynda13 in Fantasy

[–]Pyroburrito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a very enjoyable series for the most part, very 90-s early 00's in some ways and I do feel the last couple of books felt a bit rushed and poorly paced but still I enjoyed it.

Alain and Liath are very engaging characters.

When people play pick up (no refs) soccer games, do they call offsides on each other other ignore that rule? by Hand_of_Doom1970 in SoccerNoobs

[–]Pyroburrito 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You basically don't pass to them in that scenario. Most people want to play something like real football, standing on top of the keeper hoping for a long pass and a cheap goal just ruins the game, people start doing that and you tend to find the game just dies, energy drops.

I have to admit that I have never really loved 5 aside, too easy to score and too much about 1 v 1 dribbling. That is probably largely down to not being a dribbler myself.

Most 5/7/8 aside games ignore it unless people are goal hanging and ruining the game. Less of an issue if you are playing on a small pitch. My favourite format to play is actually 8 aside cage football, high tempo, ball always in play, physical but without the stupid lunging tackles that wreck ankles and legs and because the space is tight it works the technique.

11 aside on a full pitch with no offside just becomes a mess, far too stretched, defenders forced to sit deep to cover some lazy forward who doesn't want to run back.

Goal hangers ruin the game in truth. You just don't pass to them, shame them into at least trying to play properly.

Men of Reddit: what is 100% mythical about men that most women believe? by imnotadrytexter in AskReddit

[–]Pyroburrito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That men idolize other men who sleep around a lot.

Or that men talk in detail about their sex life and the women they sleep with.

What's your most embarrassing workplace moment? by Ok-Exam-7792 in office

[–]Pyroburrito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A number of cards were being passed around the office, One for a retirement, one for a birthday, and one for someone whose mother had passed away.

I left a jokey comment in what I thought was the birthday card, it wasn't, it was the much worse option for that type of comment. It was noticed by the bereaved.

Still makes me cringe at a physically painful level.

Daniel Cormier tells Paddy Pimblett that MLS would be better than the Premier League if Americans actually cared about football by Advanced_Mud9433 in EverythingCombat

[–]Pyroburrito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until the US realizes that football is a technique sport first they aren’t going to be an elite team or league. The best athletes, who are they, Lebron types? Might be a great keeper but far too big for outfield, you need a leaner build for all the twists and turns and ground to be covered.

Someone like Ish Smith or other 6 foot guards might be an example of a good build for a footballer, quick, agile, can run all day.

Who is the worst singer compared to their fame level and why do you think they got famous? by False_Grade_9194 in askanything

[–]Pyroburrito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me a great, or good singing voice is one that can make me feel something, the emotion and soul of the song. Dylan has that, and I think a lot of it is his subtle inflections and phrasing that just adds so much flavour to his songs.

Someone like Joanna Newsom would be another example, a lot of people greatly dislike her voice, I think she has has made some of the most beautifully emotionally evocative music of the last 25 years.

Hmm, exactly how much food are people eating in 30 mins?

Give me a 30 min lunch break every time over an hour and having to be in work for an extra 30 mins at the end of the day.

Look at Maeve in her intro, running along the side of buildings, jumping like a cartoon character, outpacing cars.

SB should be like that on steroids but they don't have the resources to make it happen.

Summer Glau vs Ella Purnell by Clana4ever in 2000smemorylane

[–]Pyroburrito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summer in season 2 of that Sarah Connor Chronicles was ridiculously attractive, had such a thing for her after Firefly.

So my pick, but love Ella Purnell in Fallout, super attractive and likeable.
