Probably something that makes it even harder and more confusing to understand in context, so I'm gonna say he calls them "texts"

Looking forward to Forbidden door!

100%. Everyone who insists on a third party app will flock to what's left over, and then they'll kill those too, just as soon as they do the bare minimum necessary to claim they have an accessible app. Which, to be fair, they were going to do anyway.

Let's do this every week! Super fun and a great atmosphere in here. I'm not going back to reddit. I was there 12 years, and saw it slip just like I saw digg slip before it. Let's keep this going while we wait for others to see the obvious - once the people who create the best content leave there's no reason to stay there.

I'm staying here, man. Reddit gets worse with every year, and I'm perfectly happy to talk way too much over here instead of over there.

I think it takes a metal noggin like Vetorri and a relentless ass beating machine like Cannonier to break that record. We might not see it again.

Historically, no one has EVER beat an ass more than Cannonier at middleweight, and yet somehow Vettori is still here. That dude probably lost 2 or 3 years off his career tonight, though.

The guy whose cardio fully goes first is gonna lose this fight. Vettori is clearly too tough to the face, so Cannonier is trying to grapple more and throw body shots, as he should.

No wonder Adesanya danced around and avoided Cannonier for 5 rounds.

Second round in particular

Who gets it done tonight, guys? Rocky or Creed?

[–] theusualuser@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'll say it again, if Vetorri does that blast double from across the octagon, you can count on Cannonier landing a knee or uppercut. Gonna get interesting.

 

I find it incredible how different I feel about certain books/series now vs how I felt about them 15 or 20 years ago. What sort of major changes have happened to your tastes during your fantasy journey?

I used to own every single Wheel of Time book and spent all my time on wotmania.com, but I have zero desire to read them ever again. Honestly, classic epic fantasy just doesn't do it for me in general anymore.

I don't tend to get excited about the next Brandon Sanderson novel, but I was a huge proponent of him when he was signing copies of Elantris in my tiny Idaho mall.

It'd be great if Rothfuss, Lynch or Martin finished their series, but I used to rant and rave about wanting them and now I just move on to things that are done. I can wait, and in the case of Rothfuss I'm not 100% sure those books are going to finish nearly as strongly as I first thought.

 

It'd be nice to start a thread that has a lot of info for people who are looking for reviews or recommendations.

For instance, https://sff180.com/ does a solid job, particularly with their youtube channel, of keeping me informed about books that are coming out. Where do you go for your info?
