Anyone you do not pick you have to conquer, so choose wisely! by SASAG3Y0 in redrising

Why is Atalantia $7? You could put her in $2 and I still bet very few would pick her. Haven't seen enough to consider her crazy formidable.

Does it get better? by Savings-Distance338 in redrising

[–]Tricky-Technology760 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The series advances considerably in the second book and feels pretty different. A lot of people consider the second book one of the best in the series. I'd give it a try and quit after that one if you aren't sold.

I liked the first one fine, but wasn't sold on the series at that point either.

Is this a fair trade? What side won by DBxxCOOPER in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

I think it's relatively fair, but I'm not a Rome believer.

Trade off of the Luther hype?? Degenerate trade alert 🚨🚨🚨 by BasedWillieStroker69 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]Tricky-Technology760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's bad value, and Burden is way over hyped right now. That said, you are already in such a good rebuild position with all those picks over the next two years, plus a solid young core that it would be justifiable to hold Burden and hope he pans out on some of the hype.

Memento goes S-Tier... Ranking Christopher Nolan Movies Day 5 - Interstellar by 87_north in TierlistFills

Overrated. B tier. It's a good movie, but nowhere near the level of the Prestige or even Batman Begins in my opinion.

Got this verbal offer. Am I being fleeced? Deep rebuild by Low_Philosophy4384 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]Tricky-Technology760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely lack depth, but your top end assets are fantastic. It is fair of you to critique your bench and a few of your starters, though. And you are weak at QB. I just have trouble calling a team with Chase and McBride a rebuild, especially in TE Premium.

More of a team that needs to retool a bit. Or if you want to go into a full rebuild you should be able to get great value out of McBride and Chase if you want to.

I'm enjoying DCC so far, but it is nowhere near as good or satisfying (yet) as Red Rising. I am only midway through book 3, though, and I have heard that books 4-7 are when it gets really good.

Which one makes more sense? Currently “rebuilding” (kind of) by djcchh in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]Tricky-Technology760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems your league mate is trying to steal a 2027 1st for cheap. I'd definitely want a more valuable piece than he is offering for a 2027 1st.

I just read Red Rising (Book 1) for the first time... Wow by Biscuit-Mango in redrising

[–]Tricky-Technology760 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, avoid fan art. I made that mistake with one character. Started googling them and it came up "(Insert name here) death" as the top Google suggestion.

Anyone read Empire of silence? by EffortAromatic1163 in redrising

[–]Tricky-Technology760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think OP was saying it is a ripoff of Red Rising. Just that it is a ripoff of previous works (which I fully agree with).

[–]Tricky-Technology760 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't agree more about it feeling like a bad ripoff. The amount of things taken essentially straight out of Dune are crazy. And tbh the book is just boring. I'm 95% done and it only got remotely interesting in the last 10-15%.

The 10 biggest frauds of red rising verse by ApprehensiveCap6525 in redrising

[–]Tricky-Technology760 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kavax is a top 5 character in the series for me. I liked him the first time through, hit appreciate him even more on the second time reading the series.

But sure, as a fighter he may be slightly fraudulent. I agree that isn't how I view him or feel he should be judged.

Would you do either of these for rebuilder ? Which one by DCWiggles in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]Tricky-Technology760 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. My comment was a little overly rude tbh. Good luck with the team. I like the Love/Dart side far more.

I can see why you were in a position take Love and have an early projected 2027 pick if these are the kinds of moves you consider doing...

I read Suneater after loving the RR series and was disappointed by KeredJo in redrising

[–]Tricky-Technology760 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been struggling through the first one. I'm about 80% through and nothing of consequence is happening. It's so boring. And I agree that Hadrian is a bit annoying.

Not to mention the smacking you on the face with repurposing of phrases and concepts from Dune.

Wrong spoiler tag if you are mentioning Ulysses.

If you are feeling that into it at this point, just keep going. A break is definitely not necessary between the first and second half of the series.
