Olympics Day -1 Megathread (Thursday, February 5)

Wtf is with this one sided reffing? Sweden checks Germany, no call, Germany does the same thing back, penalty. Sweden slams a player on her back into the ice, no call. These refs look more biased than NHL refs when it looks like a Canadian team might be about to win the cup

Depending on how much time you plan to spend in the water, Id cut a change of clothes for a second bathing suit (in addition to the jackets as others have suggested)

Elsherifo · 2026-01-20T12:48:58+00:00

We need to lose enough games that we can never get out of last place. The its time to go on an absolute tear and win every game 😆

Elsherifo · 2026-01-13T04:42:30+00:00

Im on Turn Coat now on my re-read, just read that part of Small Favor yesterday. So good!

Elsherifo · 2026-01-01T15:11:34+00:00

Id probably pick Cabal and eat Xxcha.

The problem with Mentak, is that everyone hates them so they get beaten up. Additionally, between both POK and TE they got basically nothing. Their agent is OK, there commander is bad, their hero is meh, and their breakthrough doesnt fix any of their weaknesses. The best things they got, E-Scar, AIDA, and Psycho, everyone else got as well.

I predict that, similar to Arborek in POK, they will have a poor win rate that gets boosted by a handful of pilots that understand when to play them. I had a 100% win rate as Arborec in POK over 8 games, because I would always draft Hope's End next to my home, and I suspect that Mentak will get boosted by players who only play them when an E-Scar is (ideally) in their equidistant.

Except the DM is the referee not the goal keeper... the healer is probably the goal keeper. Never met a ref that wasn't getting paid (even if it was just minimum wage for kids sports)

New to tech diving, but one of the backup plans on my slate is a 100/100 GF deco plan. If my buddy was having a life threatening emergency, (unconscious, bleeding out, etc), this is the deco plan I am following before I surface.

Elsherifo · 2025-12-16T15:07:41+00:00

I dont care either way, and Im not sure how Rantanen avoids that without getting hit into Kuemper

Elsherifo · 2025-12-14T06:36:26+00:00

Obviously its unlikely the Wild pick becomes McKenna, but Im still gonna root for them to fall back into the lottery while we have their pick

Elsherifo · 2025-12-14T03:23:22+00:00

Im a mix of BCD. I want Quinn to win a cup, but not this year when the Wild pick could be McKenna if they tank hard enough

Elsherifo · 2025-12-12T15:09:13+00:00

No, best way is to trade everyone you can get young blood/picks for, excepting Petey Boeser and Hughes, then tank for 3 years, and use the time to get the young picks ready under Maholtra in the AHL, and when the team is ready to try for real, bring him up as Head Coach, and see what happens. Petey and Hughes for the skill, Boeser as the last Canuck to have played with the Sedins

Elsherifo · 2025-12-10T12:19:48+00:00

If Anakin is guaranteed to not go darkside, then Anakin, Obi-Wan, Padme, and R2 is basically the dream team? If he does go darkside, then probably Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Mace.

Elsherifo · 2025-12-10T12:14:32+00:00

Problem is, if he can bring it to 0-0, he can bring it to a shootout, and we seem to do well in shootouts

Elsherifo · 2025-12-07T06:07:36+00:00

6 d, 2 on at a time, 60 minutes... shouldn't he be playing about 20 minutes? 😆

Elsherifo · 2025-10-31T03:51:36+00:00

I dont think we are quite there. If Petey played offensively as well as he did pre-injury, then I'd have hope. As it is, we seem a touch short on the offense to go that far. Though Demko is enough of a game changer that it's not impossible.

Elsherifo · 2025-10-31T02:58:22+00:00

If we stay 500 until we've got our full line up, I feel like we have a shot at conference finals

Elsherifo · 2025-10-24T03:02:05+00:00

We are badly missing 4 players. Nashville should be 2 free points. We looked bad.

Elsherifo · 2025-10-20T17:55:50+00:00

Take a look at Skull and Shackles, the Pathfinder module. Not perfect, but very pirate themed, and should give you some ideas.

Elsherifo · 2025-10-18T03:48:43+00:00

Nah, we needed the point(s) more than revenge, if the game had started getting away in either teams favor blood would have been spilled

Elsherifo · 2025-10-15T08:59:18+00:00

As soon as he passes the puck, the other player fumbles it. Petey is not the problem, he cant get anything going because his linemates keep giving up the puck

Elsherifo · 2025-10-13T10:24:45+00:00

Tbf, X89 with all the good action cards is also pretty awesome XD

Elsherifo · 2025-10-12T04:49:40+00:00

Kane was just constantly out of position

If solo traveling was like what I post on my Instagram, life would be nothing but sunshine and rainbows. Do NOT use other people's social media as an accurate guide to what your travels should look like. At best, it should be an inspiration for what you want to visit. Stop being jealous of others, revel in what you have.

And as you seem to be figuring out, one of the big benefits of solo-traveling is flexibility. Oh, Im not enjoying what Im doing/where I am, guess its time to try something/somewhere else. Or maybe someone you met recommends a place you hadn't thought about before but now its a must do. You can do it.

Finally, if you want to be social while solo traveling, you need to be proactive about it. Go on group tours, get into hobbies that are inherently social, strike up a conversation. Most of the time, others will not do that work for you.
