Such a good finish

That was such a wild ride

Yep, I think those were all our exact thoughts

Second game in a row where Garnacho has been a great threat from the right side, where he more likely to pass than shoot from. He and Mazraoui linked up really well in the second half

We continue to really struggle to move the ball forward. Garnacho and Dorgu looked best at it before the card. At least we showed a lot of heart in the 2nd half to hold on there.

Best news is that we’ve at least improved a lot on taking set pieces. We weren’t scoring any last season.

Thoughts on the red card? I think it was probably the right call

Insane how quickly our mentality changes. As soon as we scored a goal out of nothing, we remembered how to pass and keep the ball

I think hard movement crowd control in any game is very frustrating to receive in any game. Even more so in a movement based shooter. I get why they removed it. I was wondering if it could rather be like a glitch gun, preventing abilities, but that would just be too similar to a glitch grenade.

This is a great list, thanks so much! Farseer Trilogy looks particularly interesting

After a quick search on these, they look almost exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll check them both out

 

I really enjoy the idea of world building of high fantasy: A completely foreign place, not tied to anything like earth. I also like that the norms of current social structure can be completely turned on its head.

But what I struggle with is: a lot of popular high fantasy turns into an epic, super high stakes tale of how the world almost ended. I think that is something I've either seen too much of, or something that just takes away from other potential interesting stories that could come out of a different world.

So instead, I am looking for books where the protagonist explores/adventures through the foreign world discovering people and places within it. But there the challenges or conflicts the characters go through are personal and more relatable.

Does anyone share similar frustrations? Does anyone have any suggestions for books that I might enjoy?

Edit: Thanks everyone for your suggestions! Anyone that still comes across this tread, please feel free to add more, and hopefully it’s useful for others as well.

Crazy how animals survive in that kind of weather. Sounds like a great sighting!

Sunshine makes such a difference. Did you notice anything interesting on your walk?

 

Whether it was walk, hike, drive, whatever: what did you enjoy doing out in nature in this past week? What did you see? How did you feel?
