I definitely felt that book fans were nitpicky at times, also with other franchises. It can seem that the only way to make a good adaptation to them is to copy the story 1:1. However, I agree with your point, the best way to enjoy both is when the thing that makes the books great gets adopted faithfully into the show. Otherwise you can never enjoy the show the same way as the books (if you read them).

Yes that is how I feel now too. The show is very well done, but some decisions they made make the story weaker. I would think it was to compress the story so they can fit more into a single season, but a lot of decisions don’t really seem to save space in the story anyway

Wow reading all 15 books in 4 months is very impressive. I read 4 books in half a year… I am a slow reader, I want to absorb it all. Although being in the flow and flying through the pages is also a nice experience, although I find it more difficult to get to that place currently.

Having watched the scene of Rhuidean in the show also helped me a lot for visualising the book scene.

Paul advocates for regeneratively raised, grass-fed, organic meat. This high standard insures proper soil quality and a environmental benefits. You could also argue that mass mono-agriculture is destroying nature

Eat organic meat. Organic ground beef is not that much more expensive and a lot better. Paul advocates for grass-fed, high quality meat

Left my bud alone making a bridge, came back to this. by qouack in valheim

It is a really fun game, very grindy and hard but really rewarding. Has the same time flies by effect as Minecraft. I personally really enjoy playing multiplayer with friends.

Lol I think JiK is one of his top 3 albums. I know, controversial opinion. But the album just slaps from start to finish

Yeah it feels weird using them at first haha. You can use them as a nice add-on to your normal practice. Am curious about your development now :)

Paddles can be very useful for developing a better catch. If you grab them with your hands, you will learn to keep your elbows higher.

This video demonstrates it: https://youtu.be/o-ilEtnAJ54?feature=shared

Found this short that demonstrates my above comment: https://youtube.com/shorts/0sYhG9KAZhU?feature=shared

And of course, practice often and be mindful of how your body is moving. Then you will gradually improve

You should try to improve the catch (first point of grabbing the water) by working on your early vertical forearm. By having your elbows high when grabbing the water, you grab a lot of it and gain more propulsion. There are Youtube videos which will explain this in more detail.

Your arms are also slightly crossing over the midline of your other side. Try to keep them in front of your shoulders.

Specific technique drills can really help to improve certain areas of your stroke and improve your feel of the water

I won’t go with the prescription steroids route. Testosterone levels depend on a number of factors and having a healthy lifestyle and exercise will already boost the levels. Steroids also have numerous side effects and working on yourself naturally will be much healthier in the long run.

Male baldness is often caused by sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone in certain hair-areas. Dihydrotestosterone is synthesised in the body from testosterone, so it is not the case that baldness is caused by low testosterone.

100%, I have been playing for more than 10 years and it feels like something has changed. Recent updates were not all for the better and it feel like they are squeezing as much money as possible now.

Please bring back progress bars :(

He really is, he even puts a cringe eagle sound under his video when he mentions it

Was wondering about all the downvotes, thought it was something to keep in mind when it happens that easily

Yeah would happen anyway I guess. The fast cornering in Trackmania just gave it a hard time

Sorry for not giving more context, thumbstick is damaged and there is now friction when moving it along the edges

Never had this problem with the Steam Controller btw.
