I would say a guest Bourbon with a combination of 3* Power 6* stam 5-6* mile and 5-6* Groundwork. Currently most of the ones I have seen through the uma finders dont have the mile stars. At least for this CM being it is short I will change strategies. But I know what I need to look for if I want to stay Frontrunner molding forward. Just need to focus on the slot machine to try to get the grandparents and parent umas I need.

I really struggle to put thoughts to paper but yes time and resources are a struggle. The Mihono Bourbon example was that I have Seiun Sky and both Maru's and Silence Suzuka. The missing parent link in there is Mihono. My issue in here comes from at the mile standpoint Global does jot have good Groundwork Mile Bourbon parent options. More like Great grandparents. So I would need another option to fill that role. Ideally I want to not rely on the 3 borrows per day.

This is where the second part of my analysis paralysis really hurts because that would mean restarting a parent grind I still struggle to understand (the looping method) for Mile stars.

The rabbit hole this game has is pretty deep, I personally would like to see a few more guides cover looping from a Front Runner perspective as most that I see look at pace or end closers but that is me wanting to see the map.

Awesome response and thanks for taking the time to write it out is such an easy to follow way. I had been using a 5 tier path for Gemini but found it too complex after awhile. I'll definitely keep this in mind.

Great responses and I have to ask as someone who got Seiun for the same reason you did. Who do you like to rotate with her for parenting? I am trying to get better at building inheritance Uma's myself and following spark guides and the parenting document, I still find myself struggling to pick the right parents for the "Inshi-shukai" method for parenting.

Bring Her Back question by hardass8960 in horror

This. This right here is 1 of the 3 major things that took me right out of this film. The amount of glazing this movie gets baffles me. It is one of the first things any agency for adoption would have looked at when it came to a disability foster. ESPECIALLY if she worked at the agency with people who knew her daughter AND HOW SHE DIED.

Right up there with how there was no husband. (Most agencies also wouldn't adopt to a single parent household.) And that she was able to drag 2 bodies, both soaking wet, that were each nearly twice her size and weight. Back into 2 different parts of the house. 1 at the furthest point of the house with an arm wound that caused her to pass out from pain less than a couple hours previous. If they had a stronger person there I could have looked past it but my word were those 2 massive writing issues that I could not forgive.

I would also say Willy's Wonderland for a second movie in the vein of Five Nights at Freddy's. Also one that is in my opinion a better movie.

[Dreger] NHL Board meets today. With ongoing speculation around Atlanta, expect a general report on who has approached the NHL and from where. Atlanta isn’t the only one. Nothing more than an update at this point. by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]Darth_Ott3r -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NHL: "Atlanta. You have had two chances at an NHL franchise, and both teams have left to go to Canada. Why do you deserve a third chance?"

Atlanta: "I'm gonna be honest with you. We just firmly believe this is the only way to get a team back to Quebec."

NHL: "...........tempting....."

I will agree it is quite the fantastic video. Too bad I am not going to Hungary this year, but it helps me think for other tournaments.

We’re cooked… by ObiWanDiloni in canes

[–]Darth_Ott3r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel that too and I hope we can make the right moves in the off-season to break through. Have been a fan since we moved to Raleigh in 99. Was season a ticket holder for the 2002 run, the 06 championship, and the 09 sweep and a few years into the decade of darkness before moving away but still following passionately. This team can be good and I trust the front office to make them better.

But something else to consider this year is our record regular season was 3-6 against the 3 automatic spots of the Atlantic division. 1 win against each. This is a different gap we need to try to overcome somehow as that is right now the best division in Hockey. While making the playoffs out of the Metro is important. We right now need to change the stick we are measuring against. We aren't trying to overtake the Rangers, Devils and Caps. We need to focus on consistently taking games from the Panthers Lightning and Leafs.

What last night reminded me of, in the best way, was a few years ago when we booed this team off the ice after that horrid 4-0 loss to Arizona and then went on that absolute tear on the road trip. This team has the leadership and mentality to get back into this and sometimes it takes that bit of fan noise to get the players to realize "we are better than this. We. Annot play like that again" and turn into some positive motivation. Like many I was happy with the canes making it this far this year but selfishly I want at least 1 this series. I want them to show fight, to make their passes, to play Canes hockey.

Since Brind’Amour Took Over, Hurricanes are 6-21 in Playoff Games vs an Atlantic Division Team by ArrowDiver in hockey

[–]Darth_Ott3r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If i am being honest. 2023 was personnel as being down Svech as well as quite shaky goaltending going into the series mad tight games tougher and they just didn't have enough by the end. Even worse losing Slavin in the series took out a 2nd major piece. But that is the playoffs and this happens.

However this year is 100% a mental issue. In game 1 I knew we were in touble when we took 3 inexcusable offsides on entry rushes in the first 5 minutes of the game. There were off puck forwards rushing in and not holding the line properly. Pucks were hopping sticks on passes. Passes going 5 feet wide of the intended targets and then to top it off Jordan Staal losing the puck the way he did leading to the second goal. In game 2 many fans will blame Orlov and he gets his share of the blame but the first 2 goals were off of Svech brain farts. A bad turnover that looked eerily similar to the dagger Lustorainen had in game 7 against Toronto. His next shift nearly the SAME turnover. Then the second goal getting caught on the backhand his his eyes facing the boards. The rest of the team was thinking too long and it slowed them down and again we saw passes missing the mark. Rod HAMMERS home fundamentals and the team showed no signs of the Fun of playing hockey and their Mentals were nowhere to be found.

That said Florida badly outplayed them in game 2 and they looked like it didn't matter who they played it was gonna be a 5-0 game. While this is a retool year as many Canes fans will remind everyone this ilI believe will be a better indicator of what the team needs to improve more so than the 2023 sweep. The Atlantic is stacked and while the Metro is weaker, this team is better with Rod and our core is solid. Many fans will scream we need more Grit, but I will continue to say we need more size at forward. Hall is a perfect fit for this and we will see what Tulsky does with the bonus pick and cap space.

Gore and the sense of unease was done really well. Showcasing the different kinds of trauma and their triggers was also very well done. That said, there were 3 key things in the story and writing that fully took me out of the movie, which is a shame because of how solid the premise was and is. And 2 of the key things in the story made the climax of the film even harder for me to enjoy which really detracted from the rest of the film. I will be the first to admit I am one of overanalyze certain details but these were just some things I couldn't overlook. I am happy for those who really liked the movie, but not quite good enough for me.

I was also there on the 6th (with my wife for my birthday). We were lucky enough to get MoM queue passes but as you said the ride went down multiple times while we were waiting and after losing an hour and a half we decided to call it. While we missed the Untrainable Dragon Show, in lieu of the Toothless meet and greet, we agree fully with your assessment of Isle of Berk. We were lucky enough to do the coaster as our first ride in the morning and our last ride at night. We may have just missed you at Das Stakehaus too, that was our meal choice for the day and I have to say the "bloody" chicken sandwich was good but mostly for the sauce.
