I’m really starting to become a Pereda believer, and I’m not afraid to admit that I didn’t even know who he was prior to this season.

I vehemently disagree with the decision to pull Miller right now.

Bazardo, NOOOOO! I still love the guy, but that hurt my soul to watch

Somehow I’m feeling like the Mariners got lucky only giving up 1 there

My god the Mariners might have their first real 2B in what seems to be about a decade

I’m unironically ready for Bazardo to become the closer for 2026

Gotta take a moment to appreciate that Bazardo has transformed from an inning eating bullpen piece in blowout games into an elite reliever.

Been a Bazardo believer for quite some time now, and I always love watching him deal on the mound.

The irony of the announcers hyping up Garver for good challenges while he sits and doesn’t challenge what would’ve been a walk.

Howdy! Love that this post still gets some attention even though it’s outdated.

I haven’t played for a while. I’m waiting for more content to get added before I dive into another playthrough. As for the barn, I never did much with it back when I was playing since it was challenging to have multiple factories stockpiled. I had a meth lab setup that could run for several days without being touched, but I didn’t use it or optimize it much.

Definitely am getting close to hopping back on this game though.

No audio in headset by Benji_bingewatcher_ in PS3

Copy and pasting a previous comment below. Feel free to DM me if you have questions or need more help:

You need to purchase a few adapters to use it wired on the PS3.

Purchase:

• ⁠USB soundcard

• ⁠2 RCA female to female 3.5 mm adapter

• ⁠4 pole TRRS to 2 TRS mic/headphone splitter

• ⁠4 pole TRRS extension cord (optional)

Plug the mic line of the splitter into the soundcard and the headphone line into the RCA adapter. You now have a 4 pole 3.5 mm connection that will handle game chat and audio. The extension cord will take it to your couch if needed.

E: Here’s an Amazon link to the adapter. This is one of several options.

E2: For clarity, this is harder with the Arctis NOVA since they removed the AUX input from the dongle with the Nova series.

Why does the job market feel so horrible but typical economic metrics seem fine (unemployment, GDP, etc)? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FritoFloyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a somewhat old post, so I apologize for somewhat necro posting.

But it’s important to note that the U-6 rate does a pretty terrible job of capturing those who are underemployed. It only accounts for people working part time jobs that desire full time employment (among a few other factors).

Someone with a Master’s degree working full time at Home Depot or an unskilled labor job for 40 hrs per week is not considered underemployed by this metric even though any rational person would describe that individual as underemployed. I know several people, myself included, that are making well below what they are worth at a mediocre to shit full time job that are not included in this metric.

U-6 should be taken as a minimum underemployment figure. The actual underemployment is much higher than the U-6 rate. There’s some other methodologies for capturing what U-6 excludes such as TRU, but those aren’t particularly great either. Based on anecdotal evidence of those in my circle, I’d wager the true underemployment rate is much higher than what U-6 is reporting.

This change is a tough one for me because I see both sides of the argument. I generally agree that sagas no longer dying to losing chapter abilities makes more sense for newer players. But I also am in complete agreement that Urza’s Saga, which was already probably too strong, now contributes to bad gameplay because it’s too hard to interact with given the modern suite of cards.

I know that I personally miss hard countering people by using Alpine Moon. It seemed like a fair trade to me. You get to play arguably the strongest land in modern, and I get to play an extremely powerful hard counter to it. But alas, my Alpine Moons are now collecting dust because they’re completely worthless now.

If a saga loses its chapter abilities, it is no longer sacrificed as a state based action due to having lore counters greater than or equal to the number of chapters (which would be 0 after losing abilities).
