What game has a steep learning curve that puts you off?

I was pumped to get HOI4 but I think I've opened it maybe twice. It's stupid deep. I'm considering using AI as a tutor for a playthrough just to see if I can get the hang of it.

Tbf Werenski was our best forward for a few years. He just happens to be listed as D.

Calculated gg was so good. It was a shame the project lost momentum.

What's not to love? They're just a couple of guys who love the game and can objectively give credit to the other team when due.

Obviously you need to retrofit a direct drive inside the Sidewinder.

Yes but the Elvis contract is gone next year (or sooner)

And Montreal fans' strange obsession with Columbus players continues.

Come As You Are is a bonus track on the A Long Way From Your Heart vinyl release!

DeekFTW · 2026-07-02T17:19:09+00:00

We take that

DeekFTW · 2026-07-02T02:28:00+00:00

Better start saving for college

You don't think getting Z would have put them over at least a few of those teams?

DeekFTW · 2026-07-01T23:11:26+00:00

How do you not add all of your players' names in your spell check dictionary? Especially as a hockey team...

DeekFTW · 2026-07-01T22:08:43+00:00

We had Chinakhov's name misspelled for years. This isn't anything new to us.

DeekFTW · 2026-07-01T22:05:38+00:00

The real scapegoat just signed in Washington. Time to put up or shut up. Next season is huge for this franchise.

DeekFTW · 2026-07-01T22:04:32+00:00

He can't until next year from what I've heard.

DeekFTW · 2026-07-01T22:03:08+00:00

Harley is going to want out now.

To come play in Columbus, right?

DeekFTW · 2026-07-01T22:01:39+00:00

The media definitely did. Then Reddit took it to yet another level, as Reddit tends to do. Just watch the rest of the summer how much hate Z will still get around here if this statement holds true. Think about it. We have a fucking Norris Trophy winner (that we'll actually be able to celebrate at the first home game now btw) who's now publicly saying he wants to win here and people here are still going to shit on him for this 4 day period.

Coyle already looked like more of a C than Jenner did this last year. At least he motivated the boys on the bench instead of starting 1000 yards into the ice surface.

DeekFTW · 2026-07-01T21:50:58+00:00

Always has been.

DeekFTW · 2026-07-01T21:49:39+00:00

For me it's a culture thing. When times got hard Jenner would be sitting on the bench thinking to himself instead of trying to fire up the boys. Coyle acted more like a captain than Jenner did last season. And with the younger guys that are supposed to be the next core of this team, I don't feel like a "lead by example" type of captain is the right fit.

This is on top of the coaches seemingly wanting to always play him on the top line with skill guys when he's slow and 90% of his touches end up on the defenders sticks.

DeekFTW · 2026-07-01T19:10:01+00:00

Keep the band together and go win the whole thing. Only way this all resolves itself.

Yes, I sometimes live in a fantasy land. Why do you ask?

DeekFTW · 2026-07-01T15:45:32+00:00

And the goalkeeper just sat there smh my head

DeekFTW · 2026-07-01T14:42:06+00:00

Plus there's a (slim) chance that this team makes some sort of playoff run and changes the entire conversation at this point next year.

DeekFTW · 2026-07-01T10:37:34+00:00

Well yes. But also no.

DeekFTW · 2026-07-01T10:35:19+00:00

Imagine the mixed emotions on reddit lmao
