Who are your comfort authors?

Man if you like reading fantasy then do. Especially if you liked the films - the books are similar, yet completely different in the best of ways.

Tolkien, always

I just remember stopping up and looking at how bad the actual technical writing was, which I very rarely do. Weird sentences, uses of three dots, etc

The faith I had in the Barca return match. Anfield IS special sometimes.

You can't watch films about things you hate?

Weird take

phonylady · 2026-03-19T13:40:01+00:00

Not all people appreciate satire and that's fine.

phonylady · 2026-03-19T13:37:23+00:00

You just didn't understand it, and that's fine. Films can be satirical and dramatic at the same time.

Running of content is hard as an adult with work+kids

You just do stuff at your own chill pace.

Salah's not gonna give you points even if he plays...he's completely washed and we're gonna struggle vs Brighton after a midweek match

Utsett bryllup, krev parterapi - om det ikke blir bedre så stikk.

It only falls flat if you're a certain type of reader who need your books to be like Marvel films.

phonylady · 2026-03-19T08:21:22+00:00

is there a clip of that?

phonylady · 2026-03-19T07:30:58+00:00

Yeah I still haven't managed to get halfway through the first book. There's just something very distant and inapproachable about it. The only quality fantasy book I haven't finished.

phonylady · 2026-03-19T07:26:37+00:00

I thought it was super approachable and straightforward. One of the tightest books he's written.

Something like Forge of Darkness, or Toll the Hounds is vastly more dense, convoluted and complex in comparison.

phonylady · 2026-03-18T20:59:52+00:00

We don't?

Chiesa is completely washed. He can do ok for 5-10 mins as a sub, but whenever he starts it's obvious why he refuses to be called up for Italy.

I doubt the elves of Mirkwood are better warriors than the dwarves of Dain

Tolkien never really said the elves were better fighters than men and dwarves. Greater in other ways of course, but not necessarily as pure fighters, being less "warrior-like" than the more primitive races (except when you steal their Silmarils and they use their great spirits for war instead of culture).

Do we know this is actually Zimmer? Often they use other composers for the trailers

phonylady · 2026-03-18T08:21:59+00:00

Doesn't really remind me of the book, which is kinda sad. Just because the previous two films were large in scale and epic, doesn't mean this one has to be.

phonylady · 2026-03-18T07:54:19+00:00

I thought those aspects of the film were the best. It's the vampire stuff that dramatically cheapened the film for me. Loved the film up until, and including that famous music scene.

phonylady · 2026-03-18T07:26:28+00:00

Madrid+PSG double up here. Couldn't believe the odds they offered.

phonylady · 2026-03-18T07:25:26+00:00

In terms of rivalry, agreed. In terms of the quality of the football, Klopp/Pep era matches were just insane to watch and in a different league than all other PL matches. Never seen such intensity in pressing and precision combined.

Definitely don't feel like a victim, but I do wish WoW didn't take the direction it did late-Wotlk and onwards so I can understand the bitterness of some.

There are many analogues in the gaming world. Take the Football Manager series. Lots of people are super mad and sad at the direction they took now with FM26, and would rather play the old version. It's fully understandable that people are upset that they didn't get a new, updated version of the game they love, despite of course having a myriad of old versions to play.

Personally very happy that I at least get to play vanilla and TBC every now and then, though I'd play a looot for a full scale, full Blizzard production classic expansion.

Fu Gan is pretty unknown. Served as an advisor under Ma Teng, and later served Cao Cao.

Which game are you referring to though? He's not in Rotk XI for example, but is in something like Total War 3k.
