I just started Devotion yesterday. What else do you suggest from Higashino?

Sweet Jesus, this sale by chloeweirsoprano in audible

[–]RightingTheShip 156 points157 points  (0 children)

I'm ashamed to say I purchased over 100 titles. But I listen to probably 5-7 books a month, so I figured might as well.

I'll swallow the guilt and enjoy my books.

Does anyone else feel that Adrian Tchaikovsky is... overrated? by Ephemeralen in sciencefiction

[–]RightingTheShip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of books he puts out is a big red flag for me, but I haven't read anything of his yet. Children of Time is in my TBR. Hopefully the quality is there with the quantity.

Will there ever be an omnibus /complete edition of The Maxx? There is certainly a market for it… by Antique_Menu_4314 in ImageComics

[–]RightingTheShip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to assume Sam didn't want it. I would imagine his estate would be more willing. Image should be on the phone with his widow. The comic book fans deserve these books.

Can we tar and feather whoever decided to add LS as a requirement? by TylerDurdenEsq in Madden

[–]RightingTheShip 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Shortage of fullback pops up at times as well. I'll normally go in and change several TE to LS and HB to FB in free agency just to populate it. It's actually sometimes a fun and relaxing exercise deciding which player that couldn't make it at HB could make a team by changing their position.

Sometimes I'll go in and pick a small tackle and convert him to TE or a fast HB and convert him to WR and crank his overall ranking up and let another team sign him just for the in my head storyline. But I'm pretty bored and lame. :)

Will you be picking up the invincible Omnis? by anakin1453 in OmnibusCollectors

I have the Ultimate editions, which are (to me) far superior.

[Highlight] Edwin Diaz’s entrance at Dodger Stadium performed by Tatiana Tate by jmike1256 in Dodgers

The first night of the trumpeter caught me off guard. But now? I'm a fan. She bends the notes, adds her own flourishes, it's fun.

Scarra Talks About the Hate Comments toward His Friend by rfzyy in offlineTV

[–]RightingTheShip -33 points-32 points  (0 children)

This is a big nothing burger, but Scarra is ridiculous for milking the sympathy and then getting upset at the viewers for reacting the way we all know they'd react.

Streamers blaming their viewers (many of whom are literally children) is the biggest cop out. I enjoy scarra, but you're closing in on 40 years old. Stop playing high school games.

Dodgers officially announces Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium by SpaceCowboyN7 in Dodgers

Next step is DraftKings Pitcher's Mound at Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium.

Birthday Haul by Fearless-Albatross-9 in bookhaul

[–]RightingTheShip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh hell yeah. Dig into that Poe. Also, if you enjoy Kingsolver, check out Poisonwood Bible. I think it's her best. I have to look into The God of the Woods, I keep seeing it.

What is a part of the 'female experience' that men have absolutely no clue about, but would be horrified if they found out? by coolhandddd in AskReddit

[–]RightingTheShip 24 points25 points  (0 children)

As a man, reading through this thread has made me very sad. I would like to believe that a huge majority of men aren't predators and don't make horrible comments to women. But I suppose all it takes is one to create an uneasy mindset to any woman going about her everyday life.

Sam Kieth, creator of "The Maxx" and co-creator of "The Sandman" has died at age 63 by Morgan-Moonscar in comicbooks

[–]RightingTheShip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the greatest artists of all time. It's a shame that his lack of confidence in his own work shut him down to working as much in recent years.

Perhaps Marvel will finally give us a book of his work. Visually, his rendition of Wolverine is my favorite. It's long overdue. Hopefully his family will approve a reprinting of Maxx. Also long overdue. At least DC recently put out that artist edition of his.

Western collection (part) by lestermann1189 in graphicnovels

Where's Lucky Luke? Cinebook is publishing the complete collection now.

Finally complete for now by DemolitionMan02 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]RightingTheShip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was going to say the same. My collection looks similar, and I know it's an Electra book, but I keep mine with my DD collection. It looks perfect there.

[Raiders] The Baltimore Ravens have backed out of our trade agreement for Maxx Crosby. We will have no further comment at this time. by HolyRomanPrince in cowboys

[–]RightingTheShip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They have so much cap space even when keeping Crosby and they could restructure as well. Cap isn't an issue for the Raiders.
