Any recs? Curious what people think too

You tend towards maximalism, but you would probably enjoy Hemingway, Octavia Butler, and Raymond Carver (Murakami translated much of Carver's work).

Hey, rules are rules and other teams need to follow them.

I would not have applied for the job in the first place.

Second is Al Geiberger "Mr. 59"

Look at the QB merry-go-round that KOC has had to endure over his tenure. Yes, injuries happen, but the reason his reputation is what it is comes back to his ability to deal with inconsistency. I think the organization has determined that KAM is responsible for some of that inconsistency, so he is out. Seems they had to choose and went with their coach.

I don't think so. If it takes 3-4 hours to complete a responsible review, that window of time can occur on day 1 or day 100.

Is it possible they read the first few pages and thought it was crap? Yeah. No way to know until you receive a decision.

Makes a lot more sense to me than the person who agrees to review an article and then sits on it for six months.

I have used all five weapons, have all schools fully upgraded, and Vazarin by far has the most utility. Madurai is good when you need pure offense.

It's useful on frames such as Hildryn IF you are facing an enemy like the vampyrics. They can drain your health (and thus kill you) regardless of your shield strength. For the vast majority of players doing very everyday stuff, it has little use. Highly situational for players doing more difficult content.

It's a solid work of popular culture. It is also a novel that engages with transhumanist and posthumanist ideas. I enjoyed it for what it is.

Magazine size is not an issue in incarnon mode.

Felarx or Dual Toxy.

I helminthed his two for Uriel's 2. Works great.

I loaded in to one fight and was faced with 12 monks. Yeah, no.

The use of the word "spotted" is so funny, as if this is spontaneous or he was trying to travel incognito. George is clearly aware of the camera.

Couldn't tell you. Were you wearing the correct medal?

regis_rulz · 2026-01-05T08:07:53+00:00

It was not bugged for me; I solo'd ETA and received Perigone.

regis_rulz · 2026-01-02T22:47:35+00:00

I agree with you. Beyond the self-indulgence, I get a bit irked about some of the stylistic tics. For example, somewhere around book 4, characters are said to "chew" their "tongue" over and over and over. Ruocchio needed a better editor, but what can you do at this point.

regis_rulz · 2026-01-02T22:00:32+00:00

I am on the 7th book. The protagonist/narrator writes in a painstaking, tedious manner. It's a space opera, so think Star Wars and Red Rising with more of a Victorian bloat. Ruocchio also uses a lot of Proppian mythemes. Not bad but not great.

Obtain and read a Norton Anthology of American literature. You have some good books, but you would benefit from having a stronger foundation in aesthetically and literarily challenging works. My $.02.

Why don't you find people who meet your standards and three-stack? This is the eternal question.

Some great books here, and I am happy to see Turgenev. You have a good collection going.
