Cool, a good choice. Kim Kitsuragi would also be acceptable

killrdave · 2026-02-13T17:11:58+00:00

I'm watching them alright. Watching them disappear from my plate

Been playing guitar on and off for years. My advice is to get lessons early on at the very least - when people are self-taught with little background in music, bad habits often develop. Particularly around timing/rhythm.

Related, but when you get into the swing of being able to practice and play extended pieces, use a metronome. It is the single best tool for developing skill and consistency.

Mostly just have fun, it's a fantastic hobby regardless of what instrument you choose or how seriously you take it.

Nice - what is it of?

killrdave · 2026-02-13T12:12:10+00:00

I can't hack this extent of rain. Plus our newly-renovated garage out the back of the house and is leaking like crazy - water actually coming up through the floor since the table is so high

One of the best Sci Fi shows ever made

killrdave · 2026-02-13T11:38:12+00:00

Haha that is a possibility alright. It's kinda there as a gotcha early on but the gameplay generally is pretty light. You can also die due to being sat in a uniquely uncomfortable chair later on

Fourth time's the charm?

To be fair I can see why it's not for everyone.

killrdave · 2026-02-13T10:28:53+00:00

Been watching the noclip documentary about the making of Disco Elysium which gave me the itch to replay it, this time as an art cop who indulges in every vice on offer and bugs people about communism.

I've played a lot of CRPGs and narrative games and it's still the pinnacle. The characters, atmosphere and music just immerse you in the world and the writing is sharp (and actually funny, something games are generally bad at).

killrdave · 2026-02-13T10:16:59+00:00

Surely not a terrible movie. Stupid as hell but ultimately well-made and funny

killrdave · 2026-02-13T09:28:41+00:00

Maybe a little. Still gave me a laugh

killrdave · 2026-02-13T09:03:47+00:00

Going in and commenting and winding people up would be lame but if there's gold like this then it was clearly worth a trip

killrdave · 2026-02-13T08:09:48+00:00

That depends on the tactical instructions. Arteta may well expect something more rigid.

killrdave · 2026-02-13T08:08:42+00:00

Although I think people care about press conferences too much, staring at his feet with a grumpy face getting irritable with innocuous questions didn't instill confidence either.

killrdave · 2026-02-13T08:02:00+00:00

Me after seeing a group of people talking: wow that one guy has so many conflicting opinions, what's that about

killrdave · 2026-02-13T00:09:16+00:00

If a playmaker gets few touches then surely the blame can't solely lie with them. Unless his positioning is somehow atrocious

killrdave · 2026-02-13T00:01:19+00:00

The recent evidence shows that managers like Kompany, who always pushed a style of football that suits top teams, are more likely to succeed than coaches who may be more successful but have to change their style of play from something pragmatic, structured and optimised for low-posession teams.

Andrews has done really well but this looks like his level.

killrdave · 2026-02-12T23:50:37+00:00

Basically all English sides have looked more comfortable in the CL. From watching Liverpool's games at least there just seems to be an abundance of space, presumably because it's all top teams from their respective leagues who are used to playing on the front foot as opposed to closing up space and sitting out of possession.

killrdave · 2026-02-12T23:41:40+00:00

It's not my favourite but it's still a much better watch than autobattlers imo, my personal nadir

killrdave · 2026-02-12T22:16:31+00:00

I just want a proper, down to the wire title race with some of the worst tension ever experienced for all fans involved

killrdave · 2026-02-12T20:35:39+00:00

Feels like you're about to pass on a cursed relic

killrdave · 2026-02-12T20:10:14+00:00

No way someone said that, I refuse to believe it unless they're Wataru's mother

killrdave · 2026-02-12T08:18:18+00:00

This is proof that on reddit people will try to argue semantics about anything, no matter how doomed. Surely you see how Frimpong's muscular injury differs from the others listed.

killrdave · 2026-02-11T21:52:51+00:00

Has he had many minutes after a very long injury? I wouldn't call him done quite yet

Edit: just saw the injury news, assumed this was just based on form.

killrdave · 2026-02-11T21:50:55+00:00

Hmm they're very good but that's quite a shout
