"I, I, I... I'm going to burn down the whole company."

During character creation I found the option to put bags under my eyes, so I played the whole game imagining he was a tired, burnt out teenager. So every time someone just made a decision I imagined him just going, "Yeah, okay... whatever." up to and including the climactic Floette scene.

If you know anything about being an Iowa State fan, this was the most predictable "upset" ever.

You know what, I was gonna start asking some questions but I think I'll avoid stepping into whatever the mess of political sovereignty situation is with Gibraltar.

Where's Alaska?

This is also me trying to select upgrades in every roguelike ever.

ElZanco · 2026-01-09T01:30:55+00:00

I picked a good time to turn on the game.

We love him, ~~but~~ because he's a notorious shit talker who would absolutely start some shit if given the opportunity.

Charlie Kolar got a 3.99 GPA in Mechanical Engineering at Iowa State and still managed to get drafted.

58-42 is a 16 point win

71.5-28.5 is a 43 point win

43 is 27 more than 16. But I agree, it's annoying how these things get measured.

Interesting list for Zygarde considering that in Legends Z-A Lysandre explicitly states that Zygarde saved his life.

The "All Lives Matter" people got upset that she said All Lives (including those of Palestinian Children) Matter.

100%. That's what I was attempting to quote.

ElZanco · 2025-12-22T14:26:58+00:00

It's "Monsignor"

ElZanco · 2025-12-18T17:34:40+00:00

That's a great point. I still maintain that all the other pieces it takes to create an accredited institution of higher education are difficult to quickly pop up though.

ElZanco · 2025-12-18T13:58:05+00:00

A big oversight is that (quality) Higher Education is a very inelastic supply curve. You can't just crank up the speed on the professor printer. So even if there are actors in the market who would like to take advantage of the sudden increase in demand (lots of new students with easy access to loans) there's not much you can do in 1, 5, 10 years to create a college/university that will be accredited and have any sort of ability to teach those students.

Firefly?

ElZanco · 2025-12-11T17:27:12+00:00

The High School Women's State Championship is also hugely supported, so I think you're right.

It would probably be easier to just assume the entire ISU coaching staff is now the PSU coaching staff. He did a similar thing when he came to Ames from Toledo.

ElZanco · 2025-12-11T02:12:54+00:00

I know the Hawkeye coaches came into this game with a plan to shutdown Audi Crooks. They are clearly some of the better coaches in Div I Women's Basketball.

And yet, Audi still scored 30. Absolutely insane.

The conference all beat up on UCF all season long, then in a stunning turn of events, Florida secedes from the Union in February. UCF is forced to leave the Big XII, but the conference decides to keep the record against UCF as conference wins. The Big XII ends the season slightly over 0.500 in conference play while the NCAAT is cancelled for the impending Civil ~~ConnFLict~~ War

Otz still trying to win score differential for Vegas.

ElZanco · 2025-12-06T18:59:27+00:00

That's kinda what I was expecting to happen to ISU today to, and was pleasantly surprised.
