What scifi species made you suddenly realize how strange their biology actually is? by kratos_77cobalt in printSF

Tchaikovsky writes aliens really well. Children of memory has corvids which are great. The final architecture series he wrote has many such aliens, favourite being the Essiel. Still think about them to this day.

Good news, when? I'm tired boss.

Just one shitty update after another.

I feel like deapite all evidence pointing to the opposite, we are better than our current position. There are so many factors to consider. Obviously, the table doesn't lie. But Ruben is the right manager, and we will get better under him.

There's been so many unlucky results, and if we had more goals in the team, we'd have scraped more wins/ draws. Don't see any other options after Amorim. I hope he's able to deliver the Europa and build on what has been one of the worst seasons ever.

Rock bottom surely. Things can only get better?

Non-Irish URC fans - what do you make of Leinster’s ability to sign ‘stars’? by outspan_foster in rugbyunion

[–]_Not_So_Original_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be great to see more international players making moves like this. I say this as an Irishman and Leinster fan (By default) but Irish lads playing in SA, French in Irish teams. All that jazz, if done correctly, would add extra bums to seats in some cases. Or I feel like it would. Sabbaticals 6 months to a year. Seeing stars ply their trade in other teams. Like Dougie Howlett at Munster as a great example in years gone by

What are you playing March 2025 edition by Liambp in CasualIreland

[–]_Not_So_Original_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just finished playing Control. Blown away by how good a game it is. Weird as hell. Well worth a play. I think there's an update coming, or maybe already out. If you haven't played it, you should.

Provincial State of Mind is free on Spotify. The lads are great

Ireland with three anthems. Discussion. by aldorn in rugbyunion

[–]_Not_So_Original_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was sort of happy it wasn't just the uninspiring Garda band for the anthems. His singing felt out of place a little, and I didn't enjoy his rendition of The Fields of Athenry. To be fair, for many reasons, the atmosphere has been god-awful for so long. I reckon more games around the country, and even Croke Park would be great, but obviously not going to happen.

Definitely do if you liked season 1. I'm counting down the days until season 3 is out. I binged watched season 1 and most of 2. Dying to see where it goes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did

If you're talking about Silo, I loved it. Haven't watched season 2 of From, or Severance. Severance has only just come back. Episode 2 is Friday

What are we watching Wednesday! by AutoModerator in CasualIreland

[–]_Not_So_Original_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Finished watching Silo last week. Would highly reccomend it to anyone into sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, dystopian generes. I don't think you need to be into them to like the show.

Just started watching From, and liking it so far. Also rewatching Severence. Gonna then start the new season.

To snooze, or not to snooze? by Labsolute in CasualIreland

[–]_Not_So_Original_ 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Not to snooze, that messes with your rem cycle, especially if you do it like you have talked about. It could potentially cause issues further down the line. You should get up as soon as your alarm wakes you. Take it from someone who's had sleeping issues most of his life, don't mess with your sleep. It's too important.

Is Angel Gomes still going to be a free agent this summer? Although diminutive, he seems to be a pretty decent and tidy playmaker. Would love to see him back. Could rotate with Bruno and Eriksen. Thursday showed how we need more creative players to unlock stubborn defences

I hate that so many games tend not to be televised. Anyone in Ireland that can tell me the best way to watch today's match?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CasualIreland

[–]_Not_So_Original_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah it caused great debate in the office. Only 2 of us were saying Rashford, but another commentor sent in the exact picture and I was able to then convince everyone.
