I actually picked that one up as well forgot to include it. I've seen alot of youtube book people recommend it.
Godamn that looks awesome. The HADOUKEN at the end :bow:

Denis Johnson

Posted by cfish140 on 4/16/26 at 9:19 am
Watched Train Dreams on Netflix last year and thought it was the best movie of the year. It was based on a novella from Denis Johnson. Did some digging and it sounds like hes got some real solid non-fiction works. Fans of Cormac like him alot. Went to B&N and picked up Angels, Fiskadoro, Jesus' Son and Tree of Smoke. Anybody read any of his stuff and have any favorites?
I know several pages back James Islington's 2 trilogies were talked about. Was thinking about making these my next fantasy read once i finish some of Denis Johnson's stuff. Without going back and digging how were these?
I think they did a worldwide poll several years ago and 10 won as the overall fave

I beat it way back when I was a teen a few years after it came out and haven’t revisited it since. Will have to give it another playthrough one day

Last week of summer stacked. Been working a shite load so kinda took it easy and only went 3-4 days a week so pretty much just maintained. Nice, basic PPL program. It does use the German 10x10 format some days which I’m not a huge fan of but it wasn’t every workout like jacked up joker which was miserably boring. Also a great program for time restraint as all the workouts are 60 min or less.

My right rotator cuff has been giving me issues to where I couldn’t even do the OH barbell press. I may take a break from the barbell and do DB strength next or go to a 3 day like stronger than a garlic milkshake since I’m about to go on turnaround and sleep will be at a premium

Have the remakes ruined our vision and experience of OG FF7?


I was surprised at how low everybody had it as well. I used to get crushed for saying I thought OG 7 was overrated. Now it seems like that’s the common consensus.
If anybody is looking for a trippy standalone light read I just finished Water Moon and enjoyed it



About a chick who runs her dad’s pawn shop which exists in a different dimension and takes in peoples past regrets. Her dad goes missing and she goes on an Alice in wonderland type trip through this realm to find him finding out secrets of her world along the way. Pretty entertaining. I was looking for something exactly like this after finished 3k pages of Shelby foote’s civil war trilogy lol

Looked harmless, but apparently there is major plot point that turns the film into a spinning emotional shite show breakup/relationship story that is pretty depressing.


I mean like others have said they make it pretty obvious in the trailer something sinister is going on which is why they feel uncomfortable with eachother.

And why all the hate for Zendaya? She’s about as solid as they come. She crushes in euphoria.

Just got out the movie myself. It was pretty good. I liked the premise I just didn’t find it all that funny. The maid of honor chick was the fricking worst and blew the whole thing way out of proportion

It was heavily marketed, more than any FF before, and maybe since


I remember they marketed the shite out of 13. Can’t really remember any of the other ones. Maybe 15 and 16 a little bit
Anything over 5 hours I’m flying. I fricking hate road trips

I’d much rather just keep Borrego than go with any old failed retread
Picked up John Keegan’s “The First World War” book recently. Excited to get into it as I know little about WW1 other than trench warfare and Franz Ferdinand
Big cliff hanger at the end of ep 2. Marsden has been a great addition. He pulls off the douchey rich guy vibe really well.

The only thing I haven’t liked about this season is how quickly he told Barney about his secret in ep 1 after spending the whole first season going through great lengths to keep it from him. He didnt even tell them after they got jumped and put in the hospital and now he immediately calls him when he throws his back out? Seemed like they decided they needed to include Barney immediately to add another layer to the story
Was debating on picking this up tomorrow. I bought Crimson Desert on release day just to ultimately decide it wasn’t for me. I just don’t have the time a game like that requires anymore. This seems like more my speed.

Interested in your thoughts on the translation


It’s great. It’s way easier reading than I thought it was going to be. I had a few people be like “man that’s going to be a tough read” but it’s really not. Feels like you’re reading a history book, not really a poem. Kinda like The Silmarillion

Knocking out Illiad and Odyssey before Nolan’s movie comes out
Robert Eggers is about to attempt it next. If anything, we’ll know it’s going to be dark.

I actually enjoyed the hell out of Wolf Man (2025). Thought it was the best recent one.
The pixel remaster is on the ps store

I played the 3D version on iPhone years ago. Wasn’t a bad experience. Played the shite out of it at work on downtime. That’s how I played 1 as well.

re: UFC327: jiri vs ulberg

Bogdan and Jan are rematching at UFC 328 after their draw back in December. If Bogdan wins he could maybe factor in?

Only other fighter in that class on any type of streak is Dustin Jacoby but hes ranked #14. Khalil, Azamat, Ankalaev, Jiri, are all coming off losses. Hill is washed and is out with knee surgery. Reyes was super unimpressive tonight. Oezdemir has won 3 of his last 4 and went the distance with Ulberg but his ceiling is pretty low.

This weight class sucks.
