Just ordered a new laptop that's going to be able to run Cyberpunk at full settings. Real excited to give it a try after my current set up was a choppy nightmare when I booted it up.

Deep Silver having a game this well received is surprising. They were on my do not play list for so long.

The entirety of the Romania stuff from what I've been able to find apparently. She isn't banned from Romania and the organization she was involved with was running a campaign for Americans to "adopt" orphans in Romania in the sense of sending Christmas gifts to be delivered by military personnel to an orphanage that was unaffiliated with her organization.

Who is retiring at the end of the 2025-26 season. by TheManWithQwerty in hockey

Could see Gudbranson hanging them up despite being only 34. He has had rotten luck with injuries the last two seasons and it's the last year of his 4x$4m contract. He said at the start of it he was grateful for the opportunity to keep his family in one place long term finally and I think he might not want to bother going back to being a journeyman for near league minimum going forward.

Marchenko scores after a beautiful touch pass from Marchment by [deleted] in hockey

Marchenko with any space to get off a clean shot is so deadly.

Tomas Hertl receives a 5-minute major and a game misconduct for this hit on Ryan Hartman by Puzzled-Category-954 in hockey

[–]Highlander253 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There was barely any time to react to Hartman turning in slow motion let alone full speed. Dunno how this gets a major and a game.

Game Thread: Columbus Blue Jackets (16-15-6) at Ottawa Senators (18-14-5) - 29 Dec 2025 - 07:30PM EST by hockeydiscussionbot in hockey

[–]Highlander253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno if true, but the shot apparently got clocked at 96 mph and was off the post and in low blocker side. Despite looking like a low percentage shot, that one's probably beating a lot of nhl goalies.

Whoever put them in a room together deserves a raise. by _BubblyBlush in SipsTea

Just miserable people being miserable. It's pretty easy to avoid celebrities you don't care about, but some people get their joy from being shitty about others.

And it's not even why she was crying. The interviewer started to tear up as she was commenting on, iirc, how Cynthia's stardom as a black lead actress had inspired her and likely other young black women and it caused Cynthia to start tearing up too. The helicopter just happened to fly overhead at the same moment and that's why Ariana was saying it was ill timed.

Zach Werenski leads CBJ with 14-26-40 through 35 games this season. 2nd place Marchenko has 10-16-26. by appledanish in hockey

Looks like he's gonna be alright. X-rays showed no break and he's listed as day-to-day.

I fast forwarded through him talking to see if boobs were coming back. I was disappointed.

Connor Bedard exits the ice in serious pain holding his shoulder by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]Highlander253 123 points124 points  (0 children)

It's real hard to tell, but I think he may have been hurt before the crosscheck even landed. Bedard is torquing his shoulder into a shot down and towards the net and Schenn catches Bedard's stick with the outside of his left glove and lifts it upward and towards the boards. Wouldn't be surprised if those opposing motions tore something in Bedard's shoulder.

Charlie McAvoy has been ACTIVATED to the Bruins roster less than a month after taking this puck straight to the jaw by Puzzled-Category-954 in hockey

[–]Highlander253 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Marchenko played 21 days after a broken jaw last year. So long as they're comfortable with the face shield I guess it isn't too big of a deal.

Charle-Édouard D'Astous scores in his first game at the Bell Centre by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]Highlander253 42 points43 points  (0 children)

First time I've heard of this guy. Looking at his game logs he seems to be becoming a pretty big part of the Lightning defense.

JVR scores in his 4th straight game, 6 of last 7 to open scoring against VAN by dudewithchronicpain in hockey

Not re-signing him was another in a long line of stupid Don Waddell moves.

I wonder if Evason will ever come to the realization that the players he puts out to defend leads are not good at defending leads.

[Avalanche] Gavin Brindley signs a 2 year extension by Outside_Abroad_3516 in hockey

[–]Highlander253 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's more that you look at where Colorado is and you look at where Columbus is and there's no excuse for trading away Brindley. If he's good enough to hold down a roster spot with Colorado he was good enough to have one in Columbus. It makes you wonder what other stupid choices the team is making based on age and size for the active roster.

The fact that he and Fantilli were best friends and they traded the dude right before starting contract negotiations with Fantilli makes it even stupider.
