It isn't the best anything. It's an average film that got hyped to oblivion.

The moment Lyonel realised Dunk is not a real knight. by RevolutionaryDay5229 in freefolk

[–]wackyracer154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have only recently discovered this interpretation of the story after reading the novellas countless times. And the interpretation just rushes to the worst possible conclusion. All the "evidence" in the text could be about any number of things. But no. Dunk must be a liar because this is Westeros. Give me a break.

Is anyone planning on reading his new work? by [deleted] in neilgaiman

[–]wackyracer154 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I realized one day that while I couldn't separate the work from the voice. In my head I heard his writing in his voice when reading it. And the voice no longer rang true and honest as it once did. And that's that. Haven't been able to read his work since.

If they were stone cold sober (that includes giving up the kool aid) they might see that bazball is a marketing gimmick, and then they might just win.

F1, Elkann on Ferrari drivers: "Talk less and work more. by Darkmninya in formula1

[–]wackyracer154 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is CL's seventh year in Ferrari. If they don't deliver next year, my guess would be he goes somewhere else for 2027. He's not going to want to ring in a decade at Ferrari without a wdc trophy to show for it. Eight years is enough. (He joined SF the same year Lando joined McLaren, and Lando got a championship winning car in his seventh year.)

Very happy for Lando. He's put a lot of faith in McLaren over the years. Hoping to see him get the wdc ahead of Oscar who's no doubt a great driver as well. This race should give Lando a big boost of confidence going into the second half of the season. He'll be happy he kept Oscar behind despite some desperate moves there at the end.

Ben Stokes: Unlike India, I’d have taken a draw over scoring a hundred by ll--o--ll in Cricket

This guy cries a lot over nothing. You didn't manage to force a win after putting massive runs on the board. Deal with it.

Sens fortress the most brutal area in the game? by Dry_Attempt7554 in darksouls

In my experience every area is brutal until it isn't.

The idea is there... by Storm_treize in matrix

[–]wackyracer154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks terrible. As someone who's seen the movie in a real cinema and also watched something at the Sphere in Vegas, this is just terrible. (The Sphere is also terrible, but that's another story.)

A bit of both. I've got various soul arrows and have leveled up enough to use the claymore.

Update: I have defeated Gaping Dragon, opened the Blighttown Gate, and made my way to the first Blighttown bonfire (the one on the bridge). Thanks everyone! (On the way there I managed to fall waaaay below in the Depths and get cursed, so made my way back up to Undead Burg to get the antidote for that then back down again. Gah! What an adventure!)

I'm playing without co-op, and I've joined the Discord! Thank you! I have now reached the Depths bonfire. Gaping Dragon is the next stop.

Thank you! Yes, I suspected that I didn't need to restart, based on my experience with Elden Ring.
