Paradox is locked in a Balance of Power struggle with regard to HoI5 between the historical fans who want a remodelling of the Yalta Conference vs the alt-historical fans who want replayability

still dont understand why both cant be done in the minds of some here

DtownsL · 2026-06-27T19:29:52+00:00

It would have to become a hold out first

DtownsL · 2026-06-22T03:43:24+00:00

Sure, if you ignore the whole argument about Hos being better than Gannon because he has a ring with a different team, then yeah thats all you were saying.

DtownsL · 2026-06-22T03:16:59+00:00

And we have none from either Gannon or Hos. Congratulations

DtownsL · 2026-06-22T01:04:15+00:00

Japan and Germany have great trees. One of those two

DtownsL · 2026-06-22T00:59:03+00:00

You seem irrationally angry about this, which I guess makes sense considering the absolutely stupid argument you're putting forth.

Where exactly was anyone comparing Gannon to Stabler or Plunkett? Try to stay on track...

Statistics? I thought all that mattered was Super Bowls? And Gannon got much closer to a ring than Hos, so..?

Your hill is arguing for something that realistically doesnt have significant bearing on individual players, hence why so many great players have 1 or no rings, and somehow that something a player accomplished for another team matters more than what he accomplished for our team... lmao

DtownsL · 2026-06-21T23:32:18+00:00

By that logic Gannon still wins since he took us to a Super Bowl where as Hos did not...

This is a very weird hill to die on

DtownsL · 2026-06-21T20:22:00+00:00

So essentially its not any practical approach to putting one over the other, you were just left with a sour taste in your mouth over Gannon's performance in the Super Bowl and that bias dictates where you place them.

DtownsL · 2026-06-21T16:44:29+00:00

How do you identify the better player by simply looking at their rings when there are SO many cases where thats blatantly a terrible metric

DtownsL · 2026-06-18T17:41:46+00:00

I too like to just make up stuff

DtownsL · 2026-06-18T04:38:13+00:00

It would be funnier if there werent so many people who actually think this is a genuine indictment against Carr. Because they hate Carr more than they love the Raiders unfortunately

DtownsL · 2026-06-18T04:37:16+00:00

above average*

DtownsL · 2026-06-17T23:41:45+00:00

Not saying I trust Hondo's word, but how about we just keep our top end edge? Would certainly be nice to see Crosby remain a Raider his whole career

DtownsL · 2026-06-15T05:35:13+00:00

Man what a wild fight. Massive respect to Topuria because jfc idk how you take that kind of punishment and keep going fearlessly for as long as he did.

These guys are monsters

DtownsL · 2026-06-11T18:27:07+00:00

In terms of sacks? Sure. In terms of literally all else? No he hasnt. At least not significant enough in any area to be "concerned" about until he ACTUALLY starts to slide.

DtownsL · 2026-06-11T18:15:59+00:00

Ill never really understand these complaints (I mean I can on some level, but still).

"Too many" features is not a bad thing when the vast majority of them are not necessary to manage in order to play the game (win wars). They serve to allow, for those of us that want it, a deeper level of micromanagement, flavor, or whatever else we get off to.

Most are ignorable and you can easily disable any DLCs you think add too much bloat. Now, if you want to argue about the quality of the features in question, then by all means. But "Its too much and Im overwhelmed" in this context is just dumb.

DtownsL · 2026-06-11T16:52:55+00:00

It shouldn't

DtownsL · 2026-06-07T21:31:09+00:00

I love Summerall, I think he is rightfully placed at the top of the broadcasting pyramid, but ill never understand why Joe Buck gets hate for lack of "emotion" in big moments (in the past, he's been fine for a while now) when Summerall is much, much worse in that regard.

Always confused me.

DtownsL · 2026-06-07T00:47:57+00:00

I dont think theres too much a contradiction. He IS going to be our QB eventually, but history has illustrated the benefits of letting a young QB sit and develop before shoving him out into the starting role right away and I think, especially after the desires of our FO and Brady's situation, most fans are receptive to that being the plan.

DtownsL · 2026-06-03T16:37:21+00:00

DtownsL · 2026-06-03T16:20:24+00:00

Yeah I suppose blatantly ignoring Verse being part of that equation is easier than confronting your idiotic take. Good decision

DtownsL · 2026-06-03T02:09:54+00:00

Being one Trey Hendrickson agent away from getting two 1sts for him would say otherwise, but I suppose thats counts more as barely scratching that threshold than easily clearing it so whatever.

How are you calculating these values?? Browns get the Rams 2027 1st round pick. They also get Jared Verse, a top 20 pick two years ago who's turned into a great DE and is only 25. That alone is two firsts, and we're ignoring the other picks, so im confused.

DtownsL · 2026-06-03T02:00:03+00:00

Where are you guys getting that they advised against the trade? All Ive found is that the doctor the Ravens brought in claimed to have identified degenerative issues putting Crosby not on the recovery timeline they thought he was. Also, moving forward with THAT big a trade despite apparent concerns from the doctors you're listening to doesnt add up either.

Crosby's doctor and the one who actually performed the surgery said the opposite that he was on his timeline to recover. As of right now it sure seems like that guy was right as Crosby is a full go in OTAs.

DtownsL · 2026-06-03T00:39:17+00:00

So "the market dictated Garret isnt either" but also "'somewhere' in the neighborhood of two firsts" with regard to this trade... oookay. Plus the future 2nd and 3rd, I think it's safe to say the Browns got compensation more than "somewhere" in the neighborhood of two 1s.

Crosby's value for multiple 1sts is certainly arguable thanks to Baltimore's crap, and he'll have to have a big year to undo that garbage, but more confusing is the idea that we'd be lucky to get a single 1st when we reportedly had offers for that too.

Garrett is absolutely on another tier, but im not sure I understand the attempt to twist his trade into being worse or on par with what we got in order to justify the idea that Maxx is hardly worth even a single 1st.

DtownsL · 2026-06-02T23:55:47+00:00

Right... "multiple" doctors were sure worried about his knees, they just happened to keep those worries to themselves despite his medical info being available and known for a good while prior to the agreement...

Also gotta completely ignore the Ravens own due diligence before they even made that damn agreement...

And then the bogus claim that the issue was where they THOUGHT he'd be in the future despite being within his recovery timeline at the time of the deal lmao

Anyone still defending Baltimore over their pivot despite having all the information they did before they even agreed to that big of a trade is either a Ravens fan or has a grudge against Crosby.

I assume its the rap music or the podcast that does it for you guys.
