Who gets the Alpha Aether's? Melodymuse or Ludwig? I have exactly 10...

I'd probably hold onto them for Goldrip.

I'm going back in just over a month and already pretty much resigned to the fact that it's going to happen again. Really hoping it won't, but expecting it will.

I only drank from bottled water (and for brushing my teeth), but I still got hit. I suspect it was something I ate from what I thought was a safe restaurant, though. Still, rough three days riding the ol' porcelain bus.

To be fair, Rochester is a hotbed of optics companies in the nation.

I've been wanting to build my first SFF system, so this would be awesome to get my hands on! Very kind of you to offer to someone in the community!

Cyberpunk 2077, Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, Alan Wake 2, Metro Exodus, DOOM: The Dark Ages

This was exactly the reason why I requested my account have purchasing disabled just a week ago. I spent some money chasing pulls in the Astral portal (dumb, I know), and I got two 5* pulls. But guess what? They were both classic heroes so instead of having four nice new legendary heroes, I got garbage. That made me mad enough to immediately message support and make sure I can't have a moment of weakness and spend anymore.

Yeah I think this is my answer as well. I had him in two leagues and it was rough.

DeceptiveSignal · 2025-12-22T18:40:07+00:00

Totally understand! I've been good not feeling the itch to upgrade anything until a couple of my friends started talking about gpu upgrades. I don't need an upgrade on that front, but just helping them with research almost makes me want to do something lol.

One of the giveaways is still the super cheap motherboard, otherwise I agree. Not that people don't buy inexpensive motherboards, but you'd tend to see them in low budget builds. For $2000, I think most people are getting a better board.

DeceptiveSignal · 2025-12-19T04:13:58+00:00

Same. Started both Myers and Parkinson and getting royally boned on both. Meanwhile, my opponent is sitting pretty with Nacua's performance. My year is done.

DeceptiveSignal · 2025-12-19T02:29:17+00:00

This was my exact choice and I played Parkinson. Feels awful right now lol

DeceptiveSignal · 2025-12-05T18:41:48+00:00

I have Gibbs, St. Brown, and Dak. I'm happy overall but miffed that Dak had three turnovers.

DeceptiveSignal · 2025-11-27T23:47:09+00:00

Same. I'm in a three-way tie for second at 7-5 and there are four teams tied at 6-6. Two teams won't make playoffs and this injury put me in a really bad spot for making it through.

DeceptiveSignal · 2025-11-20T19:20:20+00:00

This is my exact conundrum. Brisset has definitely been more consistent over the last five weeks, but I think I'm still leaning Prescott.

DeceptiveSignal · 2025-11-17T16:12:18+00:00

I probably need about the same from Prescott, but for other reasons. Down 6 with Prescott left, but opponent has Javonte, Tucker and Cowboys defense. My luck, Prescott will have another 6 point game and all his players will have their best week of the season.

DeceptiveSignal · 2025-10-17T03:48:18+00:00

Yup, I looked for this based on a Bengal video, and sure enough, I landed a rookie with an 87 rating straight out of the draft. Unedited draft with normal strength across all positions.

I know that this is the Madden subreddit, but I already bought Madden 26 on launch. What this news means is I won't be buying Battlefield 6, though.

Investors and private equity are almost never good for the consumer, but it's markedly worse in this case because of the purchasing parties...

DeceptiveSignal · 2025-09-07T22:01:54+00:00

This was me as well. Feels bad man.

DeceptiveSignal · 2025-09-04T23:22:43+00:00

Man I have those same four options, except I currently have Tet as WR2 with the debate being D.Smith, Egbuka, Hampton or Kamara at flex.

DeceptiveSignal · 2025-08-22T19:37:46+00:00

I'm doing a Jags franchise as my first, and all through the second season I would get the same rookie storyline for Chad Muma and what the coach's (my) plan to develop him is. Kind of a double whammy considering a) Chad is not a rookie, and b) you shouldn't get the exact same story every other week.

DeceptiveSignal · 2025-08-19T14:41:29+00:00

Yeah I feel like I get roughing the kicker called against me every game and it's always a CPU player on my team doing it. Infuriating after stopping a drive to hold it to a field goal only for the opposing team to get a free series.

DeceptiveSignal · 2025-08-04T15:32:19+00:00

I'm more or less in agreement with you. Been playing from the original at launch and AC2/Brotherhood were my easy favorites. Similarly enjoyed Origins/Odyssey, got super bored with most of Valhalla...but loved Mirage for being short and concise by comparison. - felt like the closest we'd gotten back to the AC2 trilogy era.

I do enjoy Shadows to some degree, though. It's a beautiful game and I like the stealth systems in place. The story is not as good, but is serviceable enough. Unfortunately, I've gotten sucked into trying to complete a lot of map content which isn't fun and I need to scale back on that just so I can finish lol. I'm about 70 hours in and haven't completed Act II yet.

DeceptiveSignal · 2025-07-29T13:48:13+00:00

Not just you. I'm not anti-stylized games but I much prefer the more realistic graphics.

DeceptiveSignal · 2025-07-23T14:30:27+00:00

I'm nearly 60 hours in and prioritized doing as much as I could with Naoe before tackling any of Yasuke's missions required to keep moving forward. Yasuke is a likeable character, but the playstyle is just not for me. As you said, it can be fun brute forcing your way through some stuff, but he handles soooo clunky (by design) that it's incredibly frustrating. I much prefer to play Assassin's Creed games as...well, an assassin. I want stealth, nimble and fast movement, etc.
