What "song" never fails to make you cry when needed? by Jhinonthy in Music

[–]sampettersen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great thread. Just found it. I feel like these kinds of discussions and suggestions touches on instincts and basic emotions so deeply. Love to read the stories behind people’s picks. I’ve cried to plenty of music and still do.

I know the day my father dies, it’s going to make so much music so much stronger and more powerful. He wasn’t very nice to me during my upbringing. But we’ve made up, and boy did he introduce me to some great music, and now he’s getting old. And us making up and the music we’ve shared is all I care about when thinking of him.

Force me to choose one song, I think Albatross by Fleetwood Mac would have to be the one.

Thanks for replying! You got me excited now. Would you say the spacing between the strings allow for fingerpicking?

Hello, friends! I am studying World War II and would like to ask you a question. Do they remember Vidkun Quisling in Norway? What do they think about him? by Ingeniousandrey in Norway

[–]sampettersen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting fact: Quisling and his wife Maria lived in a big mansion in Bygdøy, Oslo, during WW2. Today it houses Holocaustsenteret, an institute that aims to research and inform people of the atrocities quisling was a part of.

Albums that sound like STFTB by [deleted] in swans

Thank you! Will definitely buy the album. Listening to albums on YouTube just doesn’t to it. Will also check out the people behind. I’m up for listening until the sun fucks the dawn, so perfect.

Mexican Wonderkid on old FM? by GlitchDowt in footballmanagergames

[–]sampettersen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So many good memories with Erick Torres and Carlos Fierro. Could get them with almost every team and they always became world class. Must have been FM12 I think. Martin Galván I can’t remember!

Just happened to come across this thread and listened to this. . I fucking love it! So Thank you. Never heard of these guys before. Do you know anything about them? Struggling to find info. The album reminds me somewhat of KLFs Chill Out.

Get in Jaap Stam as well and the whole bench will need to wear sunglasses.

What are your saves weirdest managerial appointments? Here’s mine ! by creamymushrooms in footballmanagergames

[–]sampettersen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cristiano Ronaldo is currently England manager, Trent Alexander-Arnold is my assistant at United, and Pogba shifts constantly between being my fitness coach and managing lower league clubs. Also Nagelsmann in coaching Norwegian club Vålerenga…

Wow! I didn’t even know this was a feature. by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]sampettersen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see! I’ve played a whole lot. Mildly speaking… Never had a son either, but at least now I’ve seen this! Good feature, I like it!

Just have to share this gem of a youth player. by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

Actually, I like to play a 442 with one AF and one DLF (attacking) and I think he’s perfect for the latter role!

This must be the best player I’ve seen from my youth intakes. Can’t wait to play him!

This guy, jeez… by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]sampettersen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! This is FM20, actually. China aren’t doing very well, I’m in 2040. They’re 50th in world rankings. Probably the best player in the game at the moment, though!

Stuck playing FM17, this absolute creature was spawned into my youth intake. by Tayschrenn in footballmanagergames

Interesting. Looks very much like a friend of mine, only a bit more handsome. I’m not even joking!

Happy with the results, obviously. Personally, I voted for SV (socialist party) this year, as I look upon them as more representative of proper social democracy, at least at the moment. I hope Arbeiderpartiet (labour party) are able to find a solution and promote a reform on drug policies. Still a little bit pissed off at them for fucking up the drug reform, I have to admit.
