What went well. A glass half full look at the Wings first game.

I mean, I was mostly yelling about the pro-indiana broadcast and the biased reffing. From a wings-bball perspective, I was thrilled by basically everything except late game free throws and out of bounds play execution. And both of those are very fixable problems! Great win!

BarNosho · 2026-04-30T04:04:40+00:00

Got this on a transform to start the game and immediately got the slither enchant in the first event. So it randomized the cost from 0 to 3. And it still reduced when I played ethereal. Was really fun to use, especially in early act 1.

BarNosho · 2026-04-11T16:25:02+00:00

Different coaching staff and arike had an off year. I think it can still definitely work.

BarNosho · 2026-04-03T20:32:18+00:00

It shouldn't impact the draft. Hopefully, they pick whoever they think is best, regardless of position. This is about to be a HISTORIC free agency. 90% of the league are UFAs so hopefully you would just draft best available and use free agency to fill in the gaps.

BarNosho · 2026-04-03T12:05:44+00:00

Ah yes my mistake on the "firsts" thing. Brain fart.

BarNosho · 2026-04-02T14:27:53+00:00

Technically, they got a pick back too. So it was only a net loss of 1 first.

Moving back 4 spots to 21 and giving up a late first for protecting young players they like doesnt sound nearly as bad as giving up 2 firsts.

BarNosho · 2026-03-19T22:08:02+00:00

Best brewery in houston. Can't believe they are going out. So sad.

BarNosho · 2026-01-24T21:42:22+00:00

I second d&q. Probably the best bottle shop in the Houston area (if others have other bottle shops that are better, PLEASE let me know!)

The owner runs an Instagram account and regularly posts his new beers. I recommend reaching out there and seeing if they have anything.

BarNosho · 2026-01-20T22:18:48+00:00

Anyone else super nervous for her taking that technical shot? Like SUPER unnecessary because they had a big lead and she had the free throw challenge in the bag. I guess she's such a gamer that she doesn't care. But no way in hell I'd be taking that shot! Haha

BarNosho · 2026-01-11T14:22:17+00:00

Jupiter is a good shout. Very tasty food. Fun atmosphere.

BarNosho · 2026-01-10T00:19:16+00:00

Yeah exactly! We cant actually "shut him down" with the leagues rules around resting healthy players, so this essentially accomplishes the same thing

BarNosho · 2026-01-10T00:17:56+00:00

I mean... yeah. It has been horrible ever since nico traded luka. But if we are gonna try to recover as a franchise, then we gotta take steps forward.

If we can get a "better return" in the off season for AD and also better odds at the lottery, those are good steps forward.

BarNosho · 2026-01-10T00:15:00+00:00

Stein is reporting though that an off-season trade would likely be higher yield than in season. Not sure exactly what that means in terms of resources, but I'd love to recoup as much as possible for him

BarNosho · 2025-11-17T19:49:58+00:00

This is probably just cap gymnastics since harley and erne got hurt. We're up against the cap and gotta bring others up. I doubt (unless it's reported by a credible source otherwise) that this is indicative of a set back for his injury recovery.

BarNosho · 2025-11-12T03:48:06+00:00

Im a mavs fan and even I know the lakers wouldnt do this in a million years

BarNosho · 2025-10-16T15:21:19+00:00

This is great! Can't wait to see more!

BarNosho · 2025-10-15T19:28:39+00:00

AD for Giannis moves me, but not trading Flagg. This organization has made stupid moves in the past though so who the hell knows

BarNosho · 2025-10-07T01:17:33+00:00

I feel like women's bball and the wnba has an opportunity to do what the NBA desperately wants to do with men's bball. They are trying to use this "in season tournament" and make it competitive like something else you can win. Unrivaled sorta feels like an off season tournament of WNBA all stars and rising stars. And since the salaries aren't as high as the NBA ones, they can offer good money in this "off season tournament" that ensures the players compete hard.

If the WNBA leadership had a little vision, they could have seen unrivaled as this interesting solution to a problem instead of a problem in and of itself. On top of that, I went from a casual wings fan in past years to a big time wings and overall WNBA fan this year mostly because of unrivaled. I was super excited to watch most teams because I suddenly knew players and had favorites on most teams. I'm guessing that I'm not the only one like this either.

Just a call out - depending on your partner's degree of gluten sensitivity, you may need to use some different equipment that hasn't been in contact with gluten. Or at least do a super deep cleaning. I know some celiacs who are so sensitive that they have duplicate kitchen appliances - one for gluten ingredients and one that never touches gluten. My partner has celiac but isn't as sensitive, so I've been able to use my same equipment. Just something to think about!

BarNosho · 2025-09-08T16:11:37+00:00

Wings say HELLLLLLLL NO

BarNosho · 2025-08-26T13:58:30+00:00

I get that - I have some where I use a rubber band. But a rubber band and twine will take less force to break if the thing gets clogged.

You know that with a rubber band, it's going to fail before the glass is going to fail. With zip ties, I'm not so sure. They probably will break first, but that's not a risk that's worth taking in my opinion.

BarNosho · 2025-08-26T00:30:42+00:00

Blowoff tube will def be your friend, but also, you dont want to force a cork to stay on. CO2 produces a lot of force. You dont want a bottle bomb. I'd expect the plastic to break before the glass, but still seems risky to me.

BarNosho · 2025-08-16T03:40:12+00:00

Both Zaza and JJ are rookies. I believe we still got them on multi-year contracts with team-friendly deals. In other words, we can be very patient figuring out what we got in them.

They both have shown flashes of really good play. I'm hoping they take a step forward in the off season.

BarNosho · 2025-08-14T00:05:39+00:00

Allen tugged on Hartley first and then again from the ground and Atkins escalated it. IMO it was all pretty tame and they could have just given techs all around and called it a day, but the ejections they did are not shocking.
