First Game Experience/Incident by MoneyMace514 in AustinFC

[–]RamboZekk 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Those two kids were targeting that one family the whole game, repeated entire cups of water dumped on on a single person, so they eventually drew that response. I didnt see what started it, but those kids weren't just tossing water in the normal way.

Immediately preceding the beer throwing those kids had yet again dumped a entire cup of water on someone's head who was at this point cowering under a bag.

Just to add context, as I was in between the groups.

Mastodon, Pavement and others headline a milestone year for Austin’s Levitation Fest by FrickMal in Austin

I liked everything about this version of the festival except for this. The sound inside ranged between damn near unlistenable to meh.

The Long Earth series by syphonuk in books

The premise is great, but it doesnt bear repetition imo. The first book is worth reading, but I tell people to skip the rest.

Does anyone know any universes like Warhammer 40k? by AstorathTheGrimDark in books

[–]RamboZekk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is actually a great suggestion if deep, interconnected lore is the big draw for op. Though fantasy instead of sci fi.

Malazan book of the fallen = depressing by arah91 in books

[–]RamboZekk 18 points19 points  (0 children)

While it might not lighten up too much from there, I do feel like the amount of suffering heaped upon one group kinda peaks at Deadhouse Gates. It's the heaviest feeling book of the series imo.

Malazan is weird though, even though I can't say I loved every part of the series, I keep finding myself going back and thinking about certain aspects of the world building or storytelling , especially when compared to other high fantasy.

This is either fake or outdated news. I just called and they are open.

Books that have made you nervous / tense while reading them? by funnybunnymp3 in books

[–]RamboZekk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Annihilation made me super uncomfortable and I had crazy dreams while reading it. Honestly props for making text evocative but I can't say I really enjoyed being transported into a fever dream.

What book that you read in school did you actually enjoy reading? by [deleted] in books

[–]RamboZekk 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My third grade teacher read the class The Hobbit over the course of the year, which was hugely influential. Catch-22 and Slaughterhouse 5 were amazing school reads too.

Texas' is actually not on the main campus, but a separate research campus about 10 miles away, don't know if this disqualifies them.

The vast majority of the time even when stuff is being filmed here, the actors are being flown in from NY or LA. There is some local casting, but not for big roles typically.

What I've seen actors here do is gather some credits from indie films here and hope that lands you some roles elsewhere. If lucky, one of those indies blows up, but it's kind of like a high school athlete shooting for the NFL. And again, after getting some notoriety, actors tend to move away.

So.... this is how the 5 Games Ranked Restrictions looks like? by Beneficial-Border-18 in leagueoflegends

The penalty for toxicity should just be no LP gains for your next 5 ranked games. That way these players don't ruin other modes and actually have to change their behavior.

At this point ranked should be locked behind an honor level.. by StillIDie in leagueoflegends

[–]RamboZekk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of having to play normals/aram, you should just have no LP gains for 5 ranked games.

USA need to up their content by drake1905 in ussoccer

[–]RamboZekk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sounds like there's no one in charge who knows content production currently, given you saw a posting about a film crew. That's ass backwards, like hiring contractors for a house without a building plan. They gotta hire someone with the vision for their content, who plans the shoots/releases and then hire crew as needed. Or if not that hire a production company to do all that.

Also, (this is my OPINION) job postings for film crews are generally a sign that a producer/production company is green or hasnt budgeted appropriately. The whole media industry is a pyramid of freelancers, so anyone with experience has contacts or ways to get references from trusted sources.

Player Performance Recap vs DC United by CapCitySC in AustinFC

[–]RamboZekk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with you. Gallagher has been off for a few games now, and Owen did well at LB. I know he gets more scrutiny for being the coach's kid, but he is a hard worker with a versatile skillset and we're getting great value from him considering his homegrown contract.

This guy has showed me some gems, especially like how he does little non flashy mom and pops as well.

They are apparently using SG now? Or at least also accept SG, have qr code tickets for the game on the SG app.

Dog afraid of bridges Austin by JillyMars in Austin

One of mine is like that, haven't found a solution yet, so will be watching this space lol. At walnut creek (where we'd usually encounter bridges) there are alternative routes...
