That's the general rule - find people who you agree with about movies. If they like something, there is a strong likelihood you will as well. Or you can just see a movie and not give a shite about what everyone else thinks.

The goal post got moved again. Anyway, 98% is universal acclaim. Do you specifically know the political biases of every person who has a rotten tomatoes vote? I don't. I would assume some of them are left. Some of them may be right as well. But 98% means that just about every rotten tomatoes reviewer thinks it's at worst a good movie and worth watching.

Ironically, I feel better about our defense in this game than I have the last few games. Alabama's offense is fairly traditional and pass heavy, which LSU can match up better with. Simpson can run when needed, but he will not beat you with his legs. Not saying LSU wins, but this one could be very interesting.

Who knows what the LSU offense will look like though.

Get a cheap antenna and Tablo if you live in Louisiana. You should be able to get every game that is not nationally televised.

Antenna to pick up the signal. Tablo to stream it. Most cost effective measure by far (legally).

Try The Napoleonic Wars by Alexander Mikaberidze. That seems like it would fit what you are looking for.

I've seen:

Joe Burrow torch Oklahoma.

the 7 OT nightmare in College Station

Les Miles last bout of incompetence at Auburn

But probably most impressive, I watched Mark McGwire hit homer number 45 against the Brewers in 98.

I did. I think it might have settled me on getting a laptop. I just don't know what I would need to look for in order to get the best experience for the most reasonable price.

So, I am looking at getting either a gaming laptop or possibly even a Steam Deck. I have primarily been a console gamer, but with some of the games released in the last year (Starfield, Baldur's Gate, FF16), it just doesn't seem a console would be my best bet to be able to play all of these games. Plus, I have been spoiled by my Switch and the ability to take it anywhere.

So my question is what would y'all recommend to get? I really have no idea what I am doing :lol:


ETA: I do not currently have either a PS5 or X-Box Series X. PC seemed like the best compromise to play the games that actually interest me. It may be more expensive, but it would not require me to buy multiple systems and be able to take my games with me.

Your answer is the Aubrey-Maturin novels by Patrick O'Brian. These are very much about the details of life at sea.

Definitely the Dresden Files. Might be the best audio series out there. Just a heads up, the first couple of books are kinda rough (but entertaining), but they find their groove and the series is a blast. James Marsters ftw.

Wheel of Time is great, especially if you have been on a Sanderson kick. Also, Joe Abercrombie's books with Stephen Pacey's narration is just sublime.
