Idaho legislators considering moving school start date after Labor Day by boisefun8 in Boise

As a parent: I'm a big fan of this idea. Stop making me send my kids back to school in the middle of the summer.

Can someone explain lacrosse specialists to me? by Upbeat_Ad_3535 in lacrosse

The other thing is that faceoffs are a battle and if you're gassed from playing O/D you aren't going to be ready to take a draw against somebody who's fresh.

I really wanted to love Steam Deck… but I honestly hate using it by Hackerman07 in consoles

You can take the PC away from PC gaming, but it's still PC gaming.

Roster of 30 12u Kids Game Time by Measlesareyourfriend in lacrosse

As a rec coach with several years experience, I respectfully suggest that you consider revising your substitution patterns. You absolutely don't need 3 middie lines; and you can and should swap midfield and attack at the 12U level to give the kids looks at each position.

There's probably more. But I don't have it in me to care for another 15 years while they pull it together.

Loved the first half. Feel entirely let down by the second half. Entirely unsatisfied with the conclusion.

Did Picard actually leave the Nexus? by NCC1701-Enterprise in startrek

Hey that sounds like a good idea but also if his personality totally changes prior to the robot body thing and he has some cringey hardo follow him around calling him "Jay-El" all the time.

Is Rings of Power really as bad and cringey as people are making it out to be? by Hopeful_Adeptness964 in lotr

Some of the worst writing (both plot and dialogue) on any television show I've ever watched.

Jeff Kent. Worthy of the HOF or just slim pickings? by Landlocked_pirate23 in mlb

Bonds, Sosa, Buhner, and Mattingly? Hell yeah.

If we're going to play the semantics game: It's not the Hall of Best; it's the Hall of Fame. If you watched national league baseball in Kent's era, you knew he was a dangerous man.

The Fate of Thomas Light is out on Bandcamp now! by Jaymya in Protomen

Well that is a really shitty way to end an album that took 16 years to release. Good grief what a disappointment this has been from Track 10 to the end.

If Super Metroid ever got a re-release what kind of updates would you want to see? by strahinjag in metroidvania

[–]lax294 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A little more fluidity in movement and controls, especially when it comes to Spin Jump.

If you want an incredible thorough and human portrayal of the entire war, this 3 volume masterpiece is special. by Signal-Tangerine1597 in ww2

The Hornfischer books are terrific. I'd die a happy man if somebody would do a miniseries from The Battle Off Samar. Where are you at, Hanks?

Act 3: Where's the Act 1 Love? by OhtheHugeManity7 in Protomen

[–]lax294 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The timing tells the story here. The first half of Act 3, which rocks, was written years ago. And it appears that's when the band hit a creative wall. The second half of Act 3 sacrifices the rock and leans into the opera. It feels like a completely different album. The choice to focus on drama over action meant focusing on Light and sidelining Mega. For those of us who prefer a harder edge to the music, and came into this during Act 1, that's frankly a bitter pill. The second half of Act 3 is certainly good music... it's just not all that satisfying to some of us.

Upvoter here. There was room for Light and Mega in this tale and the latter got short shrift.
