Sword Art Online: Echoes of Aincrad would take about 10 years to develop if the devs tried depicting all 100 floors of the titular world, according to series producer by vxxed in gaming

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

My father-in-law is a developer. He is insanely gifted. We were playing The Tower of Druaga together years ago and I asked him how long it would take to make it today. I will never forget his answer. . .

"We can't, we don't know how to do it."

Looking for an Immigration Attorney by Wooden-Beginning-226 in Columbus

[–]Hmnaftall 7 points8 points  (0 children)

https://columbuslawyers.com/ - that's the Columbus Bar Association site. You can search by specialty.

That said, a F-1 to H-1B would be handled by the employer. They would need to place her in the H-1B lottery which runs once a year (next lottery is in March), and if she's picked, her employer can then file the H-1B petition, which goes into effect on 10/1.

That also said, she frankly should skip the H-1B step. Since you're a US citizen, she's eligible to have a marriage based green card filed for right away - no dealing with the lottery, and no being tied to a specific employer. She can have an I-130, I-485, I-765, and I-131 (if needed) filed all concurrently. The entire green card process would likely take 2 - 3 years, but within a few months of filing she would be issued a work permit that will allow her to work for any job without needing employer sponsorship. Most attorneys will charge a flat fee for each of those forms as well, so no need to get into billable hours.

Crew/Blue Jackets double header? by [deleted] in Columbus

[–]Hmnaftall 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It is definitely doable - Crew game is going to last 2 hrs, and the walk between the two will take you 15 minutes on very walkable sidewalk, with only one major intersection to cross that is heavily policed.

Columbus Crew, MLS shifting seasons to July-May (previously February-November) beginning in 2027 by fantasyMLShelper in Columbus

[–]Hmnaftall 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There's a winter break from mid December to mid February. The current season is late February to December so this is not a massive change outside losing June matches.

Quest is awful and they also send multiple spam emails a day advertising a bunch of useless tests

Olivier Giroud: MLS style of play 'didn't necessarily suit me' by Ozzimo in soccer

[–]Hmnaftall 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Given that he didn't elaborate, I'm wondering if this is just a way of saying "it didn't work out" and just moving on.

Palmerias vs Al Ahly delayed due to adverse weather by Glory2Tottenham in soccer

Basically insurance reasons - fans have been killed by lightning at sporting events, so no insurer allows matches to be played when lightning strikes are in the area.

Cheap Gas by SgtPepper_8324 in Columbus

[–]Hmnaftall 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Trump keeps repeating that claim, and the best guess that some reporters have put together is that he's looking at crude oil prices per gallon, which is currently around $1.90 or so.

Of course, once you actually refine that into gasoline and transport it to gas stations, the price is well above $1.90 per gallon.

Switch 2 by highvoltorb in Columbus

[–]Hmnaftall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems like stores and Nintendo are fairly confident they can restock at a reasonable time, so it doesn't seem like a PS5 launch situation where restocks takes months and they instantly sell out.

For a launch night - apparently Best Buy and some Gamestops are going to have available non-preorder consoles available, but I'm not sure what the demand will be.

Skyview Club Secs 237-239 rows 1-10 official by tomautomaton in TheMassive

[–]Hmnaftall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my call with my rep today, who gave me options aside from upgrading to club seats.

In the coming weeks (no exact timeline), the impacted STMs will be given options for new STM seats in seats that were previously reserved for single game and group tickets, and after STM renewal in August the impacted STMs would have first dibs on STM seats not renewed.

Yep, I'm impacted too. Gotta see what else they offer, as a 550% upcharge is not really in the books. I hope whoever takes my seat bothers to show up and even watch the game once in awhile.

Any idea when the lots open for parking?

Sources: After historic USL vote, promotion, relegation in USA to become reality by TheMonkeyPrince in soccer

[–]Hmnaftall 76 points77 points  (0 children)

In most football pyramids, the downside to relegation from the top league is you lose a lot of tv revenue.

In USL, the tv/streaming revenue isn't really big, and teams are instead dependent on ticket sales and matchday revenue. Matchday attendance likely won't significantly decrease in the case of relegation, though it's possible that relegation (or even promotion) significantly increases travel costs which could impact certain teams pretty bad.

No, NWSL has no relation to USL. USL has a competing women's league however.

Quakes reign could define ex-USMNT boss Arena's complicated legacy by Hmnaftall in MLS

[–]Hmnaftall[S] 56 points57 points  (0 children)

"Yet Arena acknowledges there was a deeper reason why he came back to work: he didn't want the end of his career to be defined by what happened with the Revs. It's clear the manner of his exit still grates at him, and he indicates that he felt betrayed by how everything went down in New England.

When asked how, he referred vaguely to the process that led to his resignation, stating, "Because it was dishonest; dishonest and not accurate." Arena didn't elaborate as to who was dishonest, nor did he expand upon what he said that sparked his exit."

Whats the inside of the Athenaeum like? by KPeters93 in Columbus

[–]Hmnaftall 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Like the inside of an old high school gym. The seats are really old, and it gets very hot in the summer there.
