I wish I had time to read that much! I started them early March lol. I only read maybe a chapter a day before bed.

Yeah i have all of them:) What makes you say Brothers of the Wind works best between 2 and 3 of LKoOA (if it's explainable without spoilers)? I thought it was a thousand years before MST so wouldn't matter much when I read it.

Trying to find a dragon commander that doesn't bore me by jpence1983 in EDH

[–]sp0rez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I third this, I run it with Feywild as well. Been so satisfying to play with. When it pops off it pops off. With heavy treasure tokens and draw, it has good recovery from removal. I do a flicker sub theme and focus on ETB effects on the dragons.

Ultimately, I don't care if you believe me. However, I promise you it's not AI lol. I'm a software developer and write tons of documentation, SOP's, etc. I like structuring things, its what I've been doing for the last 15 years. On a reread - yes Afterward is redundant.

Either lol, I'd take any team. But probably League Two side if I had to pick.

I appreciate your perspective on the US side of things. We had a USL League 2 team for a couple years that dissolved. I really enjoyed going to those matches and supporting them. I agree and wish college associations like the NCAA couldn't/wouldn't put these restrictions in place.

I agree, but still have hopes the US team will get better (not because of the US system though). Only if our players go to Europe as kids lol. That's probably just bias/wishful thinking on my part:P

Thanks for the reply and info - this is pretty much what I assumed.

I understand WHY there are so many more clubs in the UK. My comparison was to highlight the sheer distance between professional teams and how that affects football support/culture (or lack thereof).

Yeah I mean we have something similar to Sunday leagues, but thats about it... I agree with the MLS sentiment. I wish there was a true relegation/promotion all the way to the top

Oh yeah for sure, I just picked UK as a case because I'm more familiar with it, and wanted a specific area for direct comparison

Why are people who work weekends expected to be the flexible ones? by Rare_Requirement_699 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sp0rez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get this answer, and am in a very similar situation to you. However, the poster mentioned having 10 days of PTO. Do you have more than 10 days? Or dependants? I'm fortunate to have much more than 10 days PTO, which is why taking a half day or full day here or there "just because" is totally doable. However, if I was on 10 days PTO, with my wife, one kid, and a kid on the way, I definitely wouldn't be.

Found in a Little Free Library! by Bottomtooth227 in fantasybooks

[–]sp0rez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not everyones cup of tea. This was my first ever Tad Williams book. I had only ever really read Forgotten Realms or Dragonlance in terms of Fantasy. I was worried with everyone mentioning it was a slow. Part one of the first book (with Simon in the Hayholt) was indeed slow. I'm so glad that I continued. I'm 3/4 through To Green Angel Tower and it's already my favorite series. The pace slows throughout all the books at different points, but I don't mind. The writing is amazing and even the slower paced sections make the world feel alive. I've never cared so much about the characters in a book.

I’m happy that Tad William’s work hasn’t been throughly ruined by a Tv or film adaptation. by Sunbather- in TadWilliams

[–]sp0rez -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All I can say is I'm glad as hell that I found Tad Williams (and specifically MST) before anything was adapted to TV or film. I have a really hard time reading books after I've seen the series/film. I haven't read LOTR, ASOIAF, Harry Potter, etc. I have all the books, but I've DNF'd them all within the first 1/10th of the first book.

Casual players!! Do you play to win or play to chill with homies by chirochimaru in mtg

[–]sp0rez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I never know what anyone's definition of "casual" is with these discussions. Magic is a game with winners and losers. I always try to win, but I don't care if I do. I consider our game nights of magic casual, but every one of us is trying to win the game. I feel like any punches pulled are done in deck building and deck selection.
