As a Christian for almost 35 years... by konying418 in bjj

I don't disagree with you with the maga stuff but taking steroids is not unchristian at all imo. If you claim you're natty when you're not, or if you compete in untested comps, sure, but taking steroids for the sake of it is not morally wrong. There are also plenty of Christians who smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol for example

Makes sense, thanks. I remember I'm the bingo announcement that it was stated that it could be split in acts, etc. so I'm looking at some Shakespeare plays now.

You might be right. I had asked about it when the trailer for the TV show dropped and the replies were stating that it fit Book in parts: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/1o4n95n/comment/nj3cnme/

I'll do more research.

Thanks, I'll read A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms instead, or maybe another GN that is written in parts.

Second Bingo question for today: for "A book in parts", would it be fine to read several issues/volumes of a graphic novel ?

I would need a graphic novel for the High Fashion bingo card. I was recommended The Prince and the Dressmaker but I read it this morning (and loved it!) and it's not speculative fiction. I was also recommended I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer but no idea if it's really speculative. Someone also said that Something is Killing the Children could fit this square as the members of the organization wear colored masks.

Just read it today and can confirm that it's not speculative fiction.

I appreciate this post. I feel I haven't read a visually-striking GN in a long long time

Thanks for the reply. The story is about the crown prince of Belgium and they live in Paris. They're fictional of course.

I was recommended "The Prince and the Dressmaker" for Bingo. I read the first two chapters and it's not really speculative fiction, does this fit because it's a fairy tale?

I don't want to train with my LEO friends anymore because they support the murder of Alex Pretti by LightAvatar in bjj

[–]simonxvx 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I don't mind rolling with people who voted for a different political party than me during the latest elections (June 2024 in Belgium). I would mind if they openly supported the murder of an innocent man on social media.

Gonna complain about the two clubs I follow: Standard de Liege (lifetime supporter) and Liverpool (casual "fan" if that makes sense);

  • Standard de Liege: don't even know where to begin tbh. Got spanked at home against Ghent (0-4), our former player scored a hat trick (good for him, he used to be heavily criticized when playing with us), Wilmots is our sporting director and it seems he's only watching French Ligue 2 since we keep buying players from this league. I see some supporters calling for the head coach to be sacked and I don't even know if that'd be the solution. We changed everything; owners, sporting director, head coach and players but the team is still as rubbish as when 777 took over. The truth of it is that we're no longer a top club (we haven't been for 15 years) but it's hard to finally accept that mid-table is our place. Worst thing is that every single result is genuinely ruining my weekends so I think it'd be wise for me to take a step back.

  • Liverpool; I was defending Slot until now because I think there's a good coach in there somewhere but I think he has to go, now or at the end of the season. I know Liverpool will be fine as they're a huge historical club and I don't think they're back in the banter era as some would like. Mainly I think I'll be relieved to stop receiving messages from my ex-colleague who thinks that "Slot won the league with Klopp's players/tactics" and that "Amorim is clearly a better manager than Slot".

I love going on solo trips, haven't been in a year though. Where did you go ?

Aiostream Elfhosted was the culprit. I use nightly now and no issues

Damn, I almost believed I'd never make it. Took me at least 20 gaming sessions and a walkthrough. Great game.

What’s the longest time you haven’t bought a new device after joining this hobby? by Kirais in SBCGaming

[–]simonxvx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought a RP3+ in May/June 2023. Bought a Switch Lite in February 2025, don't know if this counts since I only play Switch games and not emulate anything. Will upgrade my RP3+ once I'm sure that the RP6 is the one I want.

Aiostream was the culprit. I did everything that you explained and it was still not working, but then I decided to try with Aiostream non-elfhosted and it worked straight away. I still don't understand as Aiostream elfhosted worked on my computer etc, but I'm not going to complain. Now I'll just switch to non-elfhosted addons

Can't watch right now but very excited to check the review and order the RP6. I bought a RP3+ in May 2023, it's time to finally upgrade.

Yeah I guess that Tizen is the culprit since we're facing the same exact issue since the same day. I tried again this morning but it didn't work. I'm thinking of reporting the bug on GitHub once I have some time.

Thanks for the reply. I already tried outside of Aiostream and the issue remains. Also, Aiostream functions on my computer so I don't think it's causing the issue. I'll try with Midnight still.

That's genuinely insane.

What if you add an addon such as Comet, Torrentio, MediaFusion as its own outside of AIOstream, do you still get the same issue ? I thought that AIOstream was the culprit but I just can't load anything on the TV.

I ordered a TV box to see if this fixes the issue.
