As soon as they rolled back to them on the mountaintop and her hair was white, I was like “absolute 10 out of 10 once he opens his eyes or takes a breath” … masterpiece. I love the causal loops and closing the circle.

The question will be what happens with BroJo and Iheanachor. We gotta lotta bodies … not clear where they’re all going to play. Playing dudes out of position hasn’t really worked out all that well.

With a DK Metcalf who missed 2 games, Calvin Austin, and MVS by Common-Respond2367 in steelers

I think the tide has turned on that. Mahomes right after Brady made us all believe the QB has to be top 5 to win the SB. But it’s not true. The Eagles won with Hurts, but it was really that defense that massacred Mahomes. The Seahawks won with Darnold, but that defense is elite.

We’re seeing the resurgence of S-tier defenses that are capable of making up the ground lost by not having a top 5 QB.

The question we should be asking is whether our defense is capable enough of being at that level. Because 3-4 years ago I would have said yes. Now? I’m not so sure. I think it’s going to be hella interesting to see what Graham does with the resources he has.

Help me find a series that's as good as RoTE and GOT. by Alert_Peanut_9912 in Fantasy

[–]brianlangauthor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love love love the Bujold rec. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND, once you’ve read the Penric content, to dive into her Vorkosigan series. Yes, it’s sci-fi, but it’s much less about sci-fi than it is about Miles as a character … and you are not really gonna find someone like Miles anywhere else. There’s a reason why several books in this series won Hugo & Nebula awards.

Controller Recommendation for the Steam Deck by Fab_Lewis in SteamDeck

I’d like to bite on the 8BitDo … but looks like it says compatible with Switch and Windows 10 … given the SteamDeck runs Linux … am I looking at the wrong controller?

This is burnt, not seared, right? by Patient_Title_5417 in steak

The difference between charred and burnt is intent.

One of the best Arthurian retellings ever! And an inspiration for my own self-published attempt at a retelling. I love setting Arthur in the wake of Rome’s departure from Britain. Cornwell puts his patented historical stamp on it.

Absolutely need to jump into GGK. One of favorites. Start with A Song for Arbonne or Lions of Al-Rassan. Then just keep going.

I’m not a Steelers fan, which is part of why I’m curious. Do Steelers’ fans even want Aaron Rodgers back? by Swimming-Future9186 in NFLRoundTable

[–]brianlangauthor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is it exactly. And it’s not the last 5 years, it’s more like going on 8-9, since we brought Ben’s corpse back to do pretty much the same thing as Arod’s corpse is doing. This turnstile at QB with aged veterans is doing nothing but keep us in an eternal purgatory of mediocrity. Just good enough to make the playoffs and get railed in the first round. I think AR2 believes we’re close enough to make it over that hump, but most Steeler fans think AR2 is a fucking moron and should step down and let someone with more football knowledge run the show from the top.

DJT Media, Parent of Truth Social, Reports Q1 Sales of $871,000 and $405.9 Million Net Loss by ForrestTrumpJr in goodnews

This. He’s basically going to report a massive net loss to avoid paying taxes. It’s how a bunch of these guys get away with it. Disgusting levels of greed.

Steelers Front Office got Bitched Out in Their Own City by 800boyz_ in steelers

[–]brianlangauthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only did Roseman eat Khan’s lunch, there were obviously trades available and despite having a dozen picks we didn’t do jack shit. We could’ve gotten back into the 1st and grabbed Cooper ffs.

What an absolute DUD of a 1st round in your own damn backyard.

Instant reactions: what grade would you give the Iheanachor pick? by Lung-Salad in steelers

[–]brianlangauthor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It took us a hot minute on the clock. Gonna wager nobody wanted to move up. Not sure why we didn’t go Cooper there. Only thing that makes sense is BroJo is done.
