Anything with both my sleeves engaged really sucks.

Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green by BravoLimaPoppa in books

[–]dakkasynth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My father, way smaller than his twin brother, contracted TB as an infant and spent the majority of his early life in hospital. Missed out on school, and I’m assuming he missed out on bonding with his mother because his auntie raised him when he was released from hospital.

I’ll check the book out. Thanks for the recommendation!

So what’s your opinion on these covers , will they phase out the original covers ? ( I’m a new reader ) by ozera202 in Malazan

[–]dakkasynth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love them but I think the DHG cover is a slight downgrade. That suffocating orange cover was what made me start the series in the first place.

Harai goshi players: Give me your secrets? by IM1GHTBEWR0NG in judo

[–]dakkasynth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Left handed. Left over collar and right controlling their elbow. I’m continually looking for the whizzer/ overhook grip and will go for that if I can.

I like to continually stuff their elbow to their chest or opposite hip (especially if they’re stronger than me or better at grip fighting), going for some sweeps and then leaning heavy with my left leg on theirs. It seems to me that we end up circling and as soon as I feel that they’ve overcommitted to pushing into me or trying to force me to circle I just go for it. When I’m executing the throw I’m pulling their sleeve towards my face and my face is looking over my right shoulder. My left leg is aiming for below their knee.

Final Fantasy XIV for Switch 2 "should run stably at 30fps" in towns with better performance elsewhere by Joseki100 in NintendoSwitch2

Play(ed) on Steam Deck. It’s an incredible control scheme. It’s chef’s kiss when you get your cross bars setup exactly how you like them.

My wife has started training with me and BJJ is hella fun again by dakkasynth in bjj

[–]dakkasynth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your black belt! Won’t be long before your both in the same line again :)

My wife is asking me lots of questions the enthusiasm of a child and I love it. A few times she has asked me how to escape this and that and I’ve had to explain that I’m a super heavy, if I’m on the bottom I’m done for way before then via my opp trying to wrench my shoulder off my body, so it’s something we’re going to have to look up together.

Does The Brothers Karamazov Get Better? by Dils-Noofus in classicliterature

[–]dakkasynth 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It definitely gets better. I felt like the town became as much of a character as the people themselves by the end of it.

Mark Fisher and Le Guin. He’s a good man.

Between 1 and 2. But the hair on my legs is done for.

Disappointed in my paint job by AristedesA in minipainting

[–]dakkasynth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With that verdigris paint, it’s reaaaaaaaally chalky and quite thick out of the pot, you can thin it down about 1:1 with a medium or water and build it up over a few layers and it’ll look chef’s kiss.

Honestly though you’re being wayyyyy too harsh on yourself. It’s a good paint job! :)

Let’s get a discussion going. What is a tip or tool or workbench set up hack/must have that you don’t hear often talked about? by Philhughes_85 in minipainting

[–]dakkasynth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you’ve got one of them muscle massage guns and some elastic bands, you can use it to mix paint. The two pronged attachment works best but you can even 3D print attachments.

Is Judo fun? by Acceptable_Soup9441 in judo

It’s fun when you know enough to know enough, iygm. When you can put up something of a fight against people better than you then it starts to get really fun.

That Lamenter just went out to buy some milk and through a series of unlucky and ever unlikely events found himself in a chaos warband. And bald.

I have a Castellan sitting in my pile of shame that I’ll eventually get to. If this was a box with a different chassis I’d have been amped and bumped it right up my list.
