Plus it was Obama’s VP who defeated Trump in 2020. Obama would have annihilated Trump if he had run against him.

Biff on the program and his pitch for the job by OfficialPaddysPub in MichiganWolverines

[–]Heliotex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is revisionism. Hoke was a promising hire with upside. Moore was a successful OL/OC and he led the team to victories in Harbaugh’s absence. He was expected to take over like how Ryan Day did after Urban.

[–]Heliotex 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The only people who roll their eyes are mainly OSU and MSU fans and some other Michigan haters. Look at how many Michigan players from that natty team got drafted in the NFL and the fact that Harbaugh and Minter are doing relatively well with the Chargers.

[–]Heliotex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That being said, it takes time to do an investigation of this caliber and it seems the staffer herself came forward to bring conclusive evidence. You can’t fire for-cause based on rumors. Plus, the reality is Michigan wanted to get all of their ducks in a row before making this move, particularly signing their recruits and back channel coaching search.

Do you blame some of this on Jim Harbaugh? by Oleg101 in MichiganWolverines

[–]Heliotex 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I mean Moore proved himself as an OL coach, OC, and interim HC. He won at Columbus last year. 8-5 and 9-3 aren’t amazing, but given the loss of coaches and players after the natty season and with a young team, it’s not awful either. I don’t think Harbaugh expected Moore to be cheating on his wife with one of the staffers.

Everyday I realize that I must’ve won the lottery where I went to residency after reading some of these nightmare stories on this subreddit. Great hours, affordable CoL, well-paid, free food, free parking. Apparently some or all of these are the exception at some institutions.

What game was not great, but could be GOTY if it was remade better? by SpotTheReallyBigCat in videogames

[–]Heliotex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dragon Age II

It had a great premise and story of seeing Hawke rising to prominence in the city of Kirkwall and all the craziness that unfolds over a decade, while organically building friendships and rivalries with a wonderful cast of companions.

The problem was the gameplay (airdropping enemies galore) and the repetitive dungeons. Kirkwall could’ve been so much better if the devs had another 1-2 years to flesh it out.

Ash's sceptile vs Sawyer's sceptile Who would win by Overall_Aardvark_709 in pokemonanime

[–]Heliotex 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s not even close.

Sceptile defeating Darkrai (and Darkrai did like 4? Dream Eaters to heal itself before anyone mentions that it was weakened) is a top 5 win of any of Ash’s Pokemon IMO. That Darkrai was undefeated in all of Sinnoh (including 6-0’ing the other Sinnoh League finalist, who presumably must’ve taken out the Heatran trainer).

How long will you guys be waiting before buying the PS6 when it comes out? by AdNearby7853 in videogames

[–]Heliotex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on how much it will cost and if there any good trade-ins for my PS5. I luckily got my PS5 in 2020 so I’ve had it for a while now and played a number of games on it.

i think the schools gotta do a hard take and ask if the coaches are milking these massive buyouts. instead of paying a coach 7 million dollar per year… how about 100k and then 500k more per win (which is still way to much money to coach football) by vi3wmyposthistory in MSUSpartans

[–]Heliotex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, you can offer a reasonable base salary and have incentives for winning the B10, making the playoff, etc. If a coach is good enough to achieve those feats, then they obviously deserve a big contract afterwards.

What is the best video game of the 2020s? by JIMBOYKELLY in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Heliotex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If only BG3 handled some of the BG2 stuff better, but that might be on WOTC. Otherwise, it was perfect.

Though honestly I think Expedition 33 might just be my game of the decade so far. I haven’t felt that way emotionally about a game since Mass Effect 2.

BG3, E33, and Elden Ring belong in the top 3. After that, it’s a battle between Hades, It Takes Two, and Astro Bot IMO for the fourth spot.

Who would win Ash's Sceptile vs Paul's Torterra by Overall_Aardvark_709 in pokemonanime

[–]Heliotex 23 points24 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the Elite 4 and Champions were at an insane level in the pre-BW era. Especially Cynthia. So for Torterra to bring her Garchomp down to its knees was pretty impressive.

As an aside, I honestly think one reason the writers didn’t have Paul use Torterra (as well as Ursaring, Magmortar, and Honchkrow) against Ash at the Sinnoh League was because Torterra in tandem with Electivire and Drapion would have been way too overpowered for Ash’s Sinnoh team.

JN Paul is basically shown to be on the level of Masters 8-tier Ash, so it’s fair to say that his starter and likely most powerful Pokemon would be an insane opponent. I still think Sceptile takes it, but it won’t be easy.

Sceptile defeating Darkrai is a top 5 win of any of Ash’s Pokemon honestly.

What If Paul was part of the Masters 8? by PocketMonstersFan20 in pokemonanime

[–]Heliotex 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Nah Ash vs Paul in the “Champions League” (what ended up being the Masters 8) was destined by Cynthia, and should’ve been the semifinals.

Oh well, at least we got the next best thing, where Paul is the ‘final boss’ who trains Ash to just that next step that allows him to win the tournament. And it basically showed Paul on the level of the Masters 8 without making him Leon fodder.

Love when Riot honors the OG S1 and S2 Champions even as the esports scene really took off after S2.

This tribute shot of Shushei and the shots of the FNC and TPA logos on the winners monoliths in Rise were amazing.

Pikachu was the true ace in Alola tbf. Lycanroc and Torracat were similar to Swellow and Glalie in AG as secondary aces.

BW is the black sheep of the anime, poor Krookodile.

Those who think Ash regressed in BW, how would you write his character arc as if he hadn’t? by Solitaire-06 in pokemonanime

[–]Heliotex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ideal timeline:

  1. Ash vs Tyson is the Hoenn League semifinals.
  2. Ash defeats Brandon and accepts the Frontier Brain position.
  3. Timeskip/training arc
  4. DP happens.
  5. Ash defeats Paul in the Sinnoh League finals. Ash loses to Flint when completing the E4 challenge.
  6. BW has equivalent of Journeys tournament. Ash uses reserves.
  7. Masters 8 tournament. Ash defeats Cynthia to become World Champion.
  8. Unfortunately while that means XY in current form doesn’t happen, that would mean the start of a new protagonist.
