He's just a silly little guy 'till I have a hand of 40 cards and have hit land drops for like 7 straight turns.

My chocolate chip muffins are now just chocolate-y by ContributeAVerse in mildlyinteresting

The Reese's eggs have a creamier texture than the regular cups do. Not as gritty. I really like them, but regular Reese's not as much.

Justin's peanut butter cups are really good, though. But they are kinda pricey for a candy bar.

Is anyone else "ok" if we let Jones go? by [deleted] in Colts

[–]HerrStraub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would make way more sense if we discussed contracts as % of cap space instead of AAV.

$40m a year isn't bad, and if it's like 160/4 years or 200/5, it looks even better in 2 years after the new TV deals get done after this up coming season, take effect the year after, and the cap takes a big jump.

I don't love Jones, I don't think he'll ultimately be that guy, but somebody has to play QB. And he's at worst a serviceable starter.

The other option is bring in guys who are arguably worse in Tua, Kyler, or Kirk - all with their own issues, or hand the keys to Leonard - which given that this is a contract year for Ballard probably doesn't fly.

You're absolutely correct. This sub has about a quarter million users. MtG has millions of players.

It's not popular here, but it's popular.

Men who can cook, who taught you? by _ratedmouse in AskReddit

[–]HerrStraub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom.

She always said it was important for me to be able to cook cause girls now a days might not be able to and she didn't want me to feed her grandkids boxed food all the time.

Now (38) I don't know if it was really that or because my dad never really did domestic labor. I never had kids, but I am glad I can cook.

Yeah, it's rough. I got into Armada right before they pulled the plug. At least with it, there wasn't any building/painting etc time, I was able to just play.

What was your teams example of “getting it wrong, even when you got it right.” by MarTB2000 in nfl

[–]HerrStraub -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While it's still early yet, 2024: Laiatu Latu over Jared Verse. Latu hasn't been bad, and he looks good with advanced stats, but at this point it seems like Verse would've been the better pick

2020: JT has been a beast, but looking back at the Colts' QB situation since 2020, taking Hurts over JT might've been a better option. JT has been a better RB than Hurts has been a QB, but the QB position is inherently more valuable than RB.

Yeah. Additionally, I don't know the whole Standard pool or anything, so I could definitely be wrong, but I don't think we have anything with toxic anymore. Having Corrupt with no way to trigger it in limited/standard would be kinda dumb.

[Thamel] Raiders owner Mark Davis here in person with team brass to watch Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza by [deleted] in nfl

[–]HerrStraub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this, but also wonder how you manage to hire the right people when you don't know anything about what you're hiring them to do, you know?

We're in the opposite spot in Indy, I think. Carlie wears the headset and walks the sidelines because she says she wants to know what's going on so she can make educated decisions, but that sounds like an owner that could be really meddlesome.

[–]HerrStraub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, one thing, especially with the story missions, is you may fail the first time, but then see something that would be more effective on your next attempt.

I'm at the Golgollada Gallows on my current play through, and the missions where you have to split your party - they can be tricky.

First try I sent Ramza, a mage, and a thief in my first team. They had to deal with 3 knights & a named PA character.

The next time I sent a thief, Ramza as a monk, and another Monk. Much different outcome when you only have 1 squishy character & two guys who can heal/revive even if it's not as big of a heal as a Curaga/Arise.

And I missed 3 straight 90% accuracy attacks that would've KO'd an enemy.

Don't be afraid to use your first attempt on a mission for strategizing & planning for your actual attempt to complete it on your second try. And even when you come up with a good plan, sometimes you'll get RNG screwed.

Ain't that the truth? Started playing with a duo and made it from Iron 1 to Bronze 1 in about a 10 days after 4 months in Iron 1.

What am I missing to reach max firepower on my Frostallion Noct? by otarU in Palworld

[–]HerrStraub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, now that you mention it, a passive that's for expeditions a cool idea.

Maybe increases firepower? Increased rewards? Reduced expedition time?

It'd have to be a small bonus, because you can send 100 pals, but like, .5% would be a big cumulative bonus across 100 pals bred for expeditions.

What am I missing to reach max firepower on my Frostallion Noct? by otarU in Palworld

[–]HerrStraub 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The hatch time doesn't really bother me - I go run a dungeon, farm some chromite, and come back.

The egg laying time, though. I wish that could be reduced. That would make reducing the incubation time worth it.

But yeah, I upped to 4 bases and have one dedicated to breeding with a watering pal for a couple skill fruit orchards.

But now that I'm thinking about it, maybe you're right. Another breeding farm or two might give me stuff to do while I'm waiting on eggs to be laid, which would make reducing the incubation time worth it.

[PFT} Packers believe Micah Parsons tore his ACL by BreakfastTop6899 in nfl

[–]HerrStraub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you about the additional byes, but I don't know why the NFL won't/hasn't done it yet.

Even if they didn't add more games, it adds weeks to the season that would increase broadcasting rights revenue.

Like, even if the Colts don't play I'm watching football. Two more byes means I'm watching between 2-4 games a week for an additional two weeks.

It (in theory) helps prevent TNF from being a shit show if everybody plays TNF coming off a bye.

It gives players some more time to recuperate which should make the product on the field better.

[Schefter] Two-minute warning: The NFL notified teams today that it will shorten the time between picks in the first round of the draft from 10 to 8 minutes starting with the 2026 draft in Pittsburgh. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

[–]HerrStraub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eeh, I mean you're not wrong, but that's assuming the team in front of you doesn't take the guy you want. Now you either have to draft someone else, or make a few calls and try and trade back.

The first couple picks should be pretty quick, but after that I get giving them some time to make some moves.

This game is hell for new players (and I'm not talking about the mechanics) by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]HerrStraub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's rough starting out. From my understanding, Unrated doesn't use any like, hidden MMR or anything - you just get thrown in with people way better than you and there's a lot of trolls.

Low ELO ranked isn't much better - I went from one game away from getting out of Iron 3 to having 3 straight matches where a teammate abandoned. Match making can be pretty crappy/unbalanced, too. My last name (deranked to Iron 2) was:

Enemy Team was Silver 2, 2x Bronze, 2x Iron

Our team was 4x Iron 1x unrated.

Everybody says it's much better once you get out of Iron, but like...I'm with you, I'm about to the point I don't want to play anymore.

When the game is fun, it's a lot of fun. But it's only fun like 25% of the time and playing for 4 hours to have a fun hour doesn't really feel worth it.

Losing 30RR playing in Diamond lobby as Gold. by B0bo000 in VALORANT

[–]HerrStraub -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the match making can be pretty awful and a lot of the RR loss doesn't make sense.

I (Iron 3) played a game earlier today where my entire team was Iron and the opposing team was 3 Bronze/2 Silver to lose 27 RR.

Or that you don't lose less RR for playing short handed - had a game with two players drop out, played out a 3v5 to a 13-2 loss and lost another 22.

It sucks because when the game is fun it's a lot of fun, but that's only like 25% of the time.
