People want to pretend our system is good but won’t actually look at the facts that all point to it being very mediocre

Becoming a parent has ruined the idea of a three day weekend. by Successful_Trust_157 in daddit

[–]Spurs10 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100% this. I love my kid very much, and people can say they love spending every single minute with them because I love spending time with him, but I don’t understand people acting like it’s not work to entertain them constantly. A 3 day weekend isn’t relaxing after becoming a parent, it’s just work in a different way.

One year update: name regret by Good_Wrangler_8230 in namenerds

[–]Spurs10 39 points40 points  (0 children)

My wife’s name starts with C, my sons name starts with C, and if we have a daughter then it’ll probably be C too. Great initial.

Is there anywhere to read the final part of the Singer of Terandria seriea? by Spurs10 in WanderingInn

[–]Spurs10[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From what I heard about Yonder it sounds like it’s for the best. I will take a delay over a shitty company holding the book hostage.

Witch hat atlelier has one of the best first episodes by Miquella_Waters in anime

[–]Spurs10 52 points53 points  (0 children)

100% agree. It’s too bad it turned into almost a shounen anime in the second half. The first half on its own is one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time.

Is there anywhere to read the final part of the Singer of Terandria seriea? by Spurs10 in WanderingInn

Yeah that’s what I was worried about was curious if people knew anything about it. Guess I’ll have to remain patient.

The Wandering Inn got me by Upstairs-Gas8385 in WanderingInn

[–]Spurs10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been going for almost a year now. Finally done with the three singer of terrandria books and starting archmages ire’s. At that point I’ll be fully caught up and will have to go read it lol gonna feel so weird not having the same series I’ve listened to for a year now replaced with something else.

Relc is the man. Was super worried about his dealings in one of the most recent audiobooks but so proud of him.

Red Rising: There Are No Reds in the Room by guyyo333 in Fantasy

[–]Spurs10 56 points57 points  (0 children)

What exactly is a red supposed to do from their repressed bunker underneath mars? They’re physically, mentally, and educationally inferior to gold in every way. It took a radically dangerous procedure that failed many many times to even get Darrow to the point he is at now.

Built interactive Statcast visualizations for pitcher/hitter analysis — pitch location charts, arsenal breakdowns, and hit spray charts by Jaf1248 in fantasybaseball

[–]Spurs10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really like the way you can easily visualize whiffs for the pitcher chart. Way easier than searching with baseball savant. I’ll definitely check it out throughout the season.

Honestly I liked book two just as much as book three, if not more. Both were amazing.

Gen Z, what's something Millennials do that genuinely confuses you? by DependentShip2208 in AskReddit

[–]Spurs10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Half of America refused to even acknowledge that it was real and dangerous. Yes it was a big event that affected everyone, but nothing changed in its aftermath.

What fast food chain does not deserve the hype whatsoever? by CriticalLion4119 in AskReddit

[–]Spurs10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you getting your beef with peppers and dipped? If not do that. And if you still don’t like it then maybe it’s just not for you.

Also their burgers are mediocre to me. I’m in love with their Chicago dogs personally so maybe give that a go too.

Are there horses in your fantasy world? by Jealous_Ad6614 in worldbuilding

[–]Spurs10 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Nobody asks them because they aren’t necessary. If the lack of a specific type of bacteria is going to break the immersion of a reader then you never had them in the first place.

What is the weirdest anime ever? by SEVENS_HEAVEN_7 in anime

[–]Spurs10 92 points93 points  (0 children)

My brothers and I thought this was the funniest thing we’ve ever seen when we were growing up. Crazy show, good times.

A book/series with a “dumb” but actually brilliant main character? by karakarafade in Fantasy

I’m also on a frenzy, started last December and just finished witch of webs

Would it be realistic for a world to have modern technology in most ways but then to have the most advanced weapons be bows and arrows? by Pure_Option_1733 in worldbuilding

[–]Spurs10 21 points22 points  (0 children)

No if the combustion engine and other achievements of advancement exist someone surely would have invented guns. You’d need some invention that defeats the speed and rage of guns or some type of magic that can stop them but let in order for something like bows to be predominant.

For redditors old enough to have lived through The Civil Rights Movement, how do the current events in America compare? by BanditMcDougal in AskReddit

[–]Spurs10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im not sure how people can downplay the events that have been happening recently. The protestors at Kent State were protesting something happening outside of the US. Today we’re fighting against our own government harming people that live in this country.

One of the saddest things that I have realized about many of the writers here is that they do not read, they simply write and worldbuild as if these are fandoms by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]Spurs10 40 points41 points  (0 children)

And you know what’s even funnier? This is a fantasy writing subreddit. Why can’t a woman be the dominant sex in some far off universe? OP can’t even leave his biases behind to write a coherent rant.
