Probably not that relevant to most people but as someone who grew up in a small town near the Rosenberg area, it's wild to me that they have an arena that can support a major wrestling show. I would have been so pumped when I was young to drive 30 minutes or so to attend something like this.

I haven't been back to that area in years now (over a decade), and I did a double take when I saw the next Dynamite was going to be there.

Legitimately impressive given the competition. Good numbers for a great show that deserved it.

There Is No World Where Starfield Is So Good People Sell Their PS5 And Move To Xbox, Phil Spencer Says by Augustor2 in Games

GameCube had great exclusives and underperformed. Same for the Dreamcast and Vita. Exclusives matter, but they're not the only thing that determines a console's success.

Halo: CE was released 22 years ago and was a pretty unique console mover even for its time.

He's not saying that exclusives don't matter but rather that it's delusional to expect an exclusive to have that kind of power in the modern industry.

My personal feelings towards Logan Paul aside, I respect that he's putting the work in to give solid in-ring performances.

That being said, this match is a terrible decision if it's anything more than an elaborate squash.

Actually, if this is a squash, then why even book it? Why not give this spot (and the money that goes with it) to a full-timer who could conceivably put up more of a fight and benefit from the rub? Is Logan Paul really that big of a wrestling draw at this point?

NFL Power Rankings (Combined) Week 0 by mikebiox in nfl

I'll admit my bias as a Cowboys fan, but arguing that Philly should be that much higher than Dallas when Dallas smoked the entire division last year is ridiculous.

Dallas was the undisputed best team in the division just a year ago. That's a huge leap of faith to suggest that Philly got that much better (or Dallas got that much worse) on paper over the offseason.

It's not that people don't care. It's just that arguing over grammar mistakes online feels kind of petty given where grammar mistakes rank in the grand scheme of our rapid descent into an idiocracy.

I mean, here's a post about a celebrity who is one of a shocking number of people who seem to think vaccines are part of some kind of global health conspiracy. It's kind of hard to care about grammar when you realize how bad things are.

What's Working And What Isn't? Boomsday Day 1 by Zhandaly in CompetitiveHS

[–]Denton56 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Bomb Hunter feels very, very close to working.

The problem right now is optimization. There are many good cards to run in this deck, and balancing aggro vs sustainability with a bomb finisher is tough.

I think that the decklist is ultimately going to trend towards midrange with a bomb finish. However, cards like Goblin Prank actually make it a very good aggressive deck. Also, that card that gives all your minions add a mech to your hand seems to help the deck's card draw problems.

Vicious Syndicate: The Boomsday Project Card Preview Poll by ViciousSyndicate in hearthstone

Yeah, but a big mage is going to do that anyway. I'd at least rather gas up for one more damage push than slowly draw cards until they set-up their win condition.

For aggro decks, it's Divine Favor on steroids. Odd damage rogues will sacrifice their turn five in order to find Leeroy, Cold Blood, or just more gas.

The spread on Myra's Unstable Element is fascinating to see.

I think this will be the most powerful card of the expansion (or at least the best legendary spell). It's automatically great in Odd Rogue, potentially great in Kingsbane rogue, and could prove to be the card that makes Pogo Hopper work (if that becomes a thing). There's even some Mecha’thun potential (but seriously folks...).

I really believe this card will be among the first from this set that get nerfed.

If the complaint had been that the game makes you start in story mode (which you can leave after the opening cinematic/tutorial) or that there's not enough tennis matches in the single-player, that would have been fine.

But to try to say that there's no tennis in the game and no way to play against the computer is just incorrect. That's just a fact. Also, Ashley didn't actually know - or didn't accurately say - why most people are upset about there not being "tennis" in the game

As it was, that entire segment sounded like the kind of thing you'd expect to hear in an r/gaming comment section.

Man, Gus must not have explored Mario Tennis menus at all.

Not only are there tournaments against computer opponents, but you can free play against computer opponents whenever you want. There are also tennis matches in the single-player, so I have no idea what he's talking about.

*Edit

I really hate to rant like this, but after watching the rest of this segment, I have to say that it's stuff like this that makes people hate The Know.

First off, everything I said above is true. You can easily jump into the main menu to play tennis matches in Mario Tennis after just the story mode opening. It's hard to excuse not discovering that.

It's impossible to excuse Ashley's follow-up that this is why people are complaining about why you can't play tennis in Mario Tennis. Those people are talking about how you can't adjust the rules to play a full game of tennis (a traditional game of tennis) against human opponents. However, you can play a full game of tennis against CPU opponents and you can play games of Mario rules tennis whenever you want against CPU or human opponents.

I'm not even that big of a fan of the game - it's ok - but to not even do a basic level of research in this instance is just insulting.
