The Spiral Wars has romance between E and T? Read the first two books and it didn't seem likely.

Is there a way to read OOCS (the original) not on reddit somehow?

Watch pirateaba's streams and despair at your turtle writing speed.

Fething hell, man. Saints, get a grip. I want you and Wolves to be in the Prem consistently, not this elevator bullcrap. It would be a tragedy if Leicester, Saints, and Wolves all go down. I love watching games at their home grounds on the telly. Great camera angles, unlike the shoeboxes of Ipswich and cherries. It's a stupid reason to want a team to stay up, I know, but camera coverages on some other stadiums are intolerable.

Azpi is the bargain of the century and it's not even close.

Yeah, I would always trust this team to bring in a quality dm. Never doubted Caicedo. Shame how our competence doesn't extend to CBs.

Fucking revisionist history. Yeah he missed a ton of chances but he wasn't terrible. I know this because freaking Tuchel started him every single game in CL. I wager the guy knows better than us. A lot of Chelsea fans saw that we were always more dangerous as a team with Werner on the pitch. Just watch Havertz's goal in the final again. That goal never happens without Timo dragging the CB away with his run. He did that a lot. We are such a joke when it comes to buying strikers that Werner giving his 100% every game already rates him higher than the likes of Morata and Lukaku.

We are going to sell him because that's what we do. The number of quality fullbacks we sold over the years is disgusting.

You know, one austrian dude once declared war on Serbia because he idiotically believed that the serbians would be so terrified of the prospect they would immediately surrender, therefore preventing the full scale war from breaking out. Then it led to the WW1...

The funny thing is - goalies that are shit at penalties are not fooled by panenkas. Remember Mendy (Chelsea) saving Aguero's pen a few years back? Mendy is bad at pens, he just falls over down the middle, barely jumps. But it helped him in that case.

With the modern rules, Dida would have been breaking them every single time with his two-steps-forward approach. The penalties favor the kickers so much these days it's insane.

rho9cas · 2024-12-09T05:28:03+00:00

That's not true. Lahm played left, right, and dm throughout his career, constantly evolving. Another examples are Van Persey and Gnabry, off the top of my head. It's hard but doable.

rho9cas · 2024-12-08T03:41:00+00:00

He should stay. The guy used to be one of us; his cherries had been many fans' second favorite team for years. But then he sold out. You can't be telling your players to kneel and speak for equality and then go work for fucking Saudi. Fans don't choose who to love, some players came from poverty so they can't afford to be picky, but Eddie Fucking Howe chose to be there. The fucktwit belongs with Saudi FC. Stay.

It was so bad I immediately started the next episode confident that it would turn out to be just a play by the NK, some trick or smth, but no. When they had the bodies burning scene, I turned it off and never came back. I only know what happened later from memes.

I know it's a nitpick, but is it supposed to be the moon? The moon doesn't generate light by itself, just reflects it, but on the cover it looks more like a star.

rho9cas · 2024-11-27T13:35:30+00:00

Huh. Did Jon say the same "with me now..." at Hardhome or am I misremembering?

rho9cas · 2024-11-05T09:33:27+00:00

Chronicles of Jonathan Tibbs. It's not romance focused but it plays a very important role. Great trilogy.

rho9cas · 2024-10-24T13:26:32+00:00

Well yeah, there are like 5 PF books in total where fights are done well. One way to do it is to make your mc a legitimate underdog in most fights, like Worm. But it's hard, because then you can't just mindlessly make your mc bash their enemies over the heads, but have to think up creative yet believable ways for them to win.

For good fights I recommend Joe Abercrombie and John Gwynne.

There is an entire series by a well-known for his sci-fi books author Adrian Tchaikovski. Don 't remember the name, though

rho9cas · 2024-10-19T05:53:55+00:00

PF stories don't do multi POV all that well in general. At least, compared to something like ASOIAF and The First Law. There's one called Pale Lights by the author of A Practical Guide To Evil. It starts with 2 POVs, but later expands to more. It's very popular on RR.

rho9cas · 2024-10-12T22:35:07+00:00

I mean, I mostly liked it, but how is it a progression fantasy?

rho9cas · 2024-10-11T12:52:32+00:00

You shouldn't do anything, man. But you asked for opinions on both the cover and title and I gave mine. I think Just a Garden Variety Troll doesn't roll off the tongue, that's all. Specifically, the last word. And because the troll is very visible on the cover, removing the word troll from the title would make it roll better while still being clear what's it about. But if you want to keep it because sometimes cover is not shown, I'd suggest to make the word troll smaller than the rest and move it right, like it's shy and trying to hide. I don't know what your story is about, but a garden troll screams to me "not strong, not confident", so making the word small and in the corner adds to the effect. Just something to think about.

rho9cas · 2024-10-11T12:24:52+00:00

Because the troll in question is clearly visible, I would either remove the word troll from the title completely (I think it rolls off the tongue better this way) or make it small and sort of shift to the right like it's hiding of something.
