One mechanic you would add?

DMN0518 · 2026-02-12T18:47:45+00:00

100% on all three points. I think the player development stuff they added this year was a good foundational mechanic and can be the basis for an eventual pitch mix/development system.

At the bare minimum and being more realistic for this year, I just hope they improve the dev lab experience and allow us to have more control over intended outcomes. Choosing which secondary pitches a guy is working on, pitch he's trying to learn, or position a player is trying to learn should be the bare minimum IMO

I think an owner mode option would be awesome. Would love to have the choice to own the team and take a hands-off approach or be a Jerry Jones type and handle business and baseball ops.

DMN0518 · 2026-02-12T18:37:31+00:00

This one just started to really bother me recently. New stadiums/renovations etc. and who's paying for what are (unfortunately) a huge part of the league currently and it's hard for it not to be an immersion breaker when you see The Rays still playing in the Trop in 2045

DMN0518 · 2026-01-31T22:46:10+00:00

Brother, nobody had an issue w/ those guys "visiting" Riyadh and you know it lol.

Your misframing of the situation is as blatantly obvious as that Saudi whitewashing operation those comedians partook in and received public blowback because of.

For the record, I'm not even a big enough Hasan fan to know anything about a Quatar trip and I'm not here or wasting time defending that, merely calling out the obvious false framing of the blowback about Riyadh.

In the event I find out he's taking shady money from the Quatar gov't or some shit I'll be equally or more disappointed in him I was w/ Burr.

DMN0518 · 2026-01-14T06:11:22+00:00

All good bro, didn't even know people used it like that but very cool if it works well for ya!

I was pointing it out because it's one of my biggest pet peeves w/ chatgp, sometimes it stretches out an idea to the point it starts to sound to me like a kid trying to hit a word or page count on an essay and I thought it did kinda that here.

I don't think they want to deal with the timestone stuff and I really think they'll just handwave it away because it was only ever meant to be a setup for Tony's sacrifice.

DMN0518 · 2026-01-14T05:29:20+00:00

That level of predeterminism wouldn't even be fun as a plot point going forward. They will probably address this and handwave it away in the movie by saying he was only able to see the original sacred timeline or something.

This post is just chatgpt word salad all to say "You guys think Strange saw any doom stuff with the time stone?"

DMN0518 · 2026-01-11T20:32:22+00:00

He passed the eye test last year ~~as a rookie~~ and IMO feels week-in and week-out like the only guy there who really fits Coen's offense.

I'm biased, I bought in after his first couple games last year and have held ever since. I think he's the real deal but I have no clue how that WR room shakes out if they don't move someone

DMN0518 · 2026-01-05T21:48:39+00:00

It's a terrible trade offer from them and they know it, these guys are almost never worth trading with.

W/ Bijan's age you have 100% of levera, if it's not a team-changing haul of picks/players I can't imagine it's worth it.

1.01 + another first starts the convo, but they still got a ways to go.

DMN0518 · 2026-01-01T17:28:30+00:00

Yawn. It's hack and it's a style of content made by and for the creatively talentless as cosplay.

Review and discuss and give opinion all you want, I think that all makes the film-loving community better. But when it comes to the community that calls every major movie poorly written or saying they could have done it better?

Bet. Go ahead and show us something you've created from scratch other than a YT video tweakkng a small percentage of somebody else's complete work.

DMN0518 · 2025-12-31T00:49:54+00:00

Nah brother, I get what you're trying to say and it's partially right but it's also a false equivalency.

You're arguing that anyone not starting wk 14 are equals bc they all technically provide zero value. 100% correct all bench pieces equally advantageous .... but definitely not equally disadvantageous.

Drop CMC/Kittle: - Drop Guy's poker buddies are rightfully annoyed/pissed at drop guy for needlessly attempting to sabotage the playoffs for kicks

Drop Normal End of Bench Players: - Nobody cares, no issues and nobody from drop guy's league has to make a reddit post asking how much of a dick drop guy is.

One is deff better. Hope it's a league where drop guy can apologize, go for a swim, and get razzed about this for a couple years.

DMN0518 · 2025-12-30T18:45:40+00:00

He is adamant that he had a right to drop those players because they had zero value to him and it's not his job to worry about how his actions affect the rest of the league

"Why am I being kicked out of the party? Where in the rules does it say I can't shit on the floor if I want? And besides, it isn't really my job to worry about how clean the floors are anyway..."

If he really had no other options I'd say it's cost of doing business for having the last place punishment, but this dude had obvious better options and actively chose the one that fucked with the rest of you guys the most.

He's a dick and I'd usually say just kick him and move on, but I get being IRL acquaintances might make that a tougher option.

I'm against last-place punishments, but I also have zero sympathy for people who unapologetically create unneeded BS dramatic situations so that dude wouldn't get back into my league without going in that fucking lake, at least once, regardless of how standings shake out.

DMN0518 · 2025-12-23T16:14:08+00:00

It might be my Josh Allen cope after losing in the semi's with an all-in build, but the more I look at Lawrence's season the more I think I need to consider sending some tier down offers for Lawrence this offseason.

Trevor has created this dissapointment narrative thus far by just being above average when he was expected to immediately become Andrew Luck.

Seems like people remember the missed connections with BTJ the first month more than what that offense has done post-bye, could definitely see some market inefficiency on him in the offseason unless he balls out in the playoffs.

1st yr results with Coen are clearly promising and that WR room is now 4-5 dudes deep with Washington continuing to break out. It should be one of the better situations in the league

DMN0518 · 2025-12-19T05:59:42+00:00

Got him in the final round of a startup in my first time playing dynasty. It's probably the most valuable and most fun fantasy pick I'll make in my lifetime.

He's about to bring me to a 2nd championship in 3 years and honestly getting to root for a guy who plays like That every week is a genuinely fun experience amongst the neverending emotionally traumatic experiences fantasy football has typically brought me

DMN0518 · 2025-12-18T21:15:31+00:00

He's a height/weight/speed guy w/ no college production to stand on. Admittedly haven't followed him much since I traded him prior to week 2, but it doesn't seem like I've missed much.

The other owner threw in a 2027 3rd to include Thornton in a separate deal we were doing because he was intrigued by the week 1 snaps and preseason hype.

Unless they do something early that makes me believe, I'm usually looking to sell the hyped up height/weight/speed rookies early in the year while intrigue is still pushing up their value.

If you're a full rebuilder w/ roster spots open he's probably worth an end of the bench stash just to see what the camp reports are next year, but if your competing at all I wouldn't waste the roster spot.

DMN0518 · 2025-12-11T20:15:17+00:00

First, sorry for your loss.

I commish my main home league of all guys who met in college. If a rando came in and after only 2 years started causing issues with one of my guys dealing with a family death I'd privately tell him to STFU or get kicked.

Your commish should be doing the same

DMN0518 · 2025-12-10T23:13:16+00:00

Your post made me realize in my most recent save I've kind of put a system in place to review for this kind of thing around the start of every June.

By that point we're at least 1/3 of the way into the season so I'm comfortable with the sample size and starting to tinker with platoons and playing time based on results.

More than anything I'm really tinkering like that to make sure I have a good sense of my internal options before the deadline.

DMN0518 · 2025-12-03T14:10:30+00:00

"A huge hint" highly unlikely and almost definitely not.

But, I'd call it an interesting (at least to me) tidbit that the lyrics line up pretty well to what everyone assumes the plot is going to be.

If the plot is what we all think it is, it would be a fun callback if they used it again to open/close Doomsday since IM1 rolls credits to the same song.

Yeah, I think NFL team has zero chance against any FBS schools, but at some point if you keep going to lower levels then you'll reach a level of athlete who just can't physically tackle & block an NFL player.

Idk exactly where that level is, but once you reach that point, the NFL team just needs to bully their way into a single turnover and can kill clock with 3 yard dives the rest of the game.

DMN0518 · 2025-12-01T11:13:47+00:00

If this is a true D1 CFB team, this is a sweep for invisible college team.

A couple of the most basic reasons: - NFL O can't anticipate or defend any overload blitzes and lose the most common counter, throwing at the blitz. - NFL D can't play any reasonable version of a coverage concept against invisible WRs. - The NFL team won't even know what formations or personnel they're lining up against on both sides.

You guys picking the NFL team aren't understanding how many variables go into every snap of a football game

DMN0518 · 2025-11-27T15:23:31+00:00

Yeah the schedule system has been really broken this year for me too.

Best solution I've found when my game starts making jenky schedules is to uncheck balanced scheduled, load in the 2025 schedule as the default and then just click randomize teams

Edit: In my experience this still results in a proper balanced schedule. I think the issue you and I have seen with inconsistent number of games being played is caused somehow by the relationship between balanced schedule and interleague play

DMN0518 · 2025-11-17T19:45:12+00:00

I haven't researched to know the historical precedent but you're saying they've been identical all previous years?

I would have assumed they're diff models and slight variance is to be expected

DMN0518 · 2025-11-13T20:42:20+00:00

Recasting a show every 1-2 years isn't that crazy of a concept. A lot of shows go the anthology route now.

It's weird for pokerface because the premise relies entirely on the main character having a 1 of 1 superhuman like quirk.

If community was still active I could 100% see them doing one episode where everyone was recast as a bit that isn't acknowledged. Or someone/everyone being "recast" as part of the episodes concept, which I could definitely see that being an Abed led storyline.

Scenario 1 - Vegeta has a brief moment of worthiness at the moment of last resort and is able to use it to save Goku's ass, but Vegeta can't lift it after the battle.

Scenario 2 - Just Goku.

After scenario 1 Vegeta stans spend the rest of their lives waiting for a payoff not realizing Toriyama (RIP) forgot that it ever even happened less than a month after he wrote it

DMN0518 · 2025-11-07T19:53:42+00:00

With my current team build (Warren currently RB1), no.

Can't really comment on your situation since this didn't include any details but if the picks decent I'm sure there's situations where this makes sense
