    SPORTS BALL!!! v2.0

    One of my colleagues is a lifelong Rangers fan. As a Blackhawks fan I totally get what he was feeling yesterday. The 'Hawks hadn't won a Stanley Cup in roughly the same amount of time the Rangers have been without a World Series win. The team I cared the most about hadn't ever won a...

    SPORTS BALL!!! v2.0

    I know you don't want to talk about it yet, but you ran into a team that needed a win at exactly the wrong time for SF. If you need some good news, the playoffs are a long way off and the 49ers still have a really good chance at winning the division outright. The next 4 games will be fairly...

    Funny events in anti-woke world

    I live in an area with a lot of wind energy potential, and more and more turbines going up. And I really can't believe how people who live in a place with so many wind farms, can believe the weird conspiracy nonsense that goes around every time someone starts up a petition protesting new...

    What are you currently playing?

    I think some of the allure of Vaas, is he comes off much better by comparison. With whom? Well, a lot of folks really. Some of them are spoilers for FC3, so I won't mention it here yet. But also, the whole trope of "villain periodically shows up to talk crap and make you hate him more" was...

    SPORTS BALL!!! v2.0

    Yeah, that strategy didn't make a lot of sense to me. It is the kind of gameplay you utilize against a high scoring offense, to keep them off the field. And while I enjoyed watching them beat the Cowboys, Arizona does not have a high-powered offense. The 49ers could pretty easily best the...

    Great Games that you Hate.

    Yeah, when someone else likes things I don't... it doesn't really bother me that much. Soulslike, (the entire genre) is like that for me. In general, it's the kind of thing I enjoy. But I'm from the arcade generation, I fundamentally hate "game over" states. If frequent bucket kicking is an...

    Your video game hot take(s) thread

    Actually the problem with the original voice acting was it seemed they chose voice actors by leaving the door open and grabbing the first employees who wandered by and sitting them down in front of a microphone. But it was endearing for all that, very much in that "so terrible it's funny" way...

    SPORTS BALL!!! v2.0

    I actually think Wilson and Sean Payton are a little overrated. Wilson benefitted from fairly low-pressure environments for years in Seattle, having such a good defense that the pressure to score was lessened and really good running games that opened up receivers for him. Plus he's mobile and...

    SPORTS BALL!!! v2.0

    Yeah, there is something very wrong in Denver. Week 3 is a little too early to be laying down for a good draft pick, plus I think Denver has traded that so they wouldn't get it anyway. There just doesn't seem to be anything worth keeping. They need a completely new offense, defense, coaching...

    GOTY (and PGOTY) Discussion

    Yeah, still hard for me to make the decision. I've decided I like Starfield, but it isn't wowing me so far. I'm just enjoying it. BG3 is fun, and I like it too. I suppose it is "wowing" more than Starfield is... and I think in any other year that would be very much enough to get my GotY...

    Our Covid Response

    Signed up for an appointment last week, disappointed and very happy to see that the location I'm going to for the vaccine had so many appointments that mine isn't until next week. I've been stacking mine. Getting the flu shot in the same appointment. Hell, last year it turned out it had been...

    I absolutely agree, but subtitle nazis still dominate anime fandom.

    Your video game hot take(s) thread

    I guess maybe this belongs here, it sure isn't what I'm playing now. I was expecting to be playing the Baten Kaitos remaster (or at least have it on deck for a break from Starfield) by now. But I haven't purchased it yet, and now I don't think I will. I was looking forward to seeing if they...

    What have you learned today?

    I've heard that as well, and I had it explained slightly differently. In the second scenario, you are trying to assign a binary value (rain or no rain) as a probability for something as large as an area the size of a station's broadcast reach. It either rains on the whole area (30% chance) or...

    Your video game hot take(s) thread

    Back half, no. There's no issue there in Tears of the Kingdom. Last 1/8th or so though... maybe so. It doesn't end well, not as bad as its intro... but kind of a letdown after the fantastic journey it takes you on. Pretty right on take though. I personally like reviews. But generally I...
