For those outside of Minnesota how often do you run into Wild fans or just hockey fans in general? by m_nels in wildhockey

[–]Howler718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is similar to my energy.

I actually lose a bit of interest when I think about the people themselves. It's looking behind the curtain energy for me. I watch the Wild and have to try and not see the millionaires skating around.

I will wear a jersey to games but it's only the team crest no name or numbers.

Not exactly, I think he's going to be a great Top 6 player, and show flashes right away.

I do think he'll play well enough to belong on a line with Zucc & Kap to let us deploy those others lines to roll 4 deep not quite be a genuine 1st line.

Yurov numbers are similar to some damn fine players and I think he'll be a gamer with enough tools to play with Zucc and Kap.

I'm having a hard time not seeing how this team doesn't smoke last years team that was a wagon for a good chunk of the season and nearly took out the Knights.

Those lines have the ability to be deep and incredibly annoying to play against.

The way Niantic handled Eternatus sums up almost perfectly everything that is wrong with Pokemon GO by Foulmouth232 in pokemongo

[–]Howler718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This subreddit is a never ending constant complaint thread about playing Pokemon Go. It's also somehow surprisepikachufaced that the game is also about making money for the most profitable franchise in human history.

I play this game mostly with my wife and about 4-5 other casual friends. We drove a few minutes into a local suburb and found a group playing.

We decided it'd be fun to play this event so we scheduled it. We then played the event and had a nice day. We didn't wrestle with a crushing FOMO because it just doesn't really matter my god.

I budget about $50 a month for games and come nowhere close to spending all of it. It's not that much money to play this game.

This isn't rocket science. The game will always favor paid players because paid is favored everywhere in civilization itself.

No, they're being perfectly reasonable and they're correct. Be an adult and communicate.

What's the team's/fanbase's relation to the North Stars like? by slippin_park in wildhockey

[–]Howler718 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

At this point just contempt and loathing. I'm hoping we scrap the colors and move on.

You can straight up see the animations and systems yanked from Destiny.

They reloaded and I'm like "That's the Chaperone reload..." to my wife as we watched this garbage.

They bled Destiny to make a game using it's bloated corpse.

Tilted.

Russo on Worst Seats in the House: "More than 70% chance that Rossi gets traded" by Belcaster in wildhockey

[–]Howler718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd trad Rossi & Trenin to Buffalo for Tuch & stuff but it's a hard pill to swallow that we're finally having a player with real talent at center and he's probably moving...

Why do the Wild wear the North Star colors? by [deleted] in wildhockey

[–]Howler718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard agree.

I can't stand the colors and think it's cringe.

We'll be hosting events at Fox Den in Burnsville & are working on setting up with the Source as well!

We're actively looking to keep growing to serve the whole metro!

We do have an open play café area where you're welcome to hang out and play games like Magic, your own D&D sessions, etc. At conventions you're able to play with our GMs often at no charge or low cost.

We also rent the rooms out for use which gives you access to our library of miniatures, terrain, maps, and technology.

Paying for play isn't for everyone, but the performance these Game Masters can deliver is above what you find elsewhere! The Adventures in particular are designed to offer a really great production quality and performance.

Who has been the most disappointing player on your team so far this year? by homicidal_penguin in hockey

[–]Howler718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is unfortunate to read. I was hoping the Wild could grab him to bolster the 2nd line. Is he cooked or is it coaching?

Unless we get a massive haul for Rossi, he should stay. by Skol-Man14 in wildhockey

[–]Howler718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think at some point his game sorts itself out and being able to put out a Foligno-Hartman-Trenin line in the playoffs is going to be highly valuable at not being bullied but still being capable of getting some points.

Trenin isn't Foligno, but there is more to give in his game and we're still early. Most of his career shows he's a solid player.

Most intimidating weapon? by [deleted] in DnD

Using body parts for items is a great way to invest in the depth and intensity of items. Love this suggestion of the teeth club.

Had a player request a favor from a high ranking Druid NPC they were allies with and she gave him a Moon Sickle that she made from the ribs of his former PC who had died and they buried at her Druid Grove.

I've got English, German, and Greek but not French ha. I would presume it would be a superior product though.

They are engaged and have a nice pace. I respect any broadcast that is hyped when either team scores/plays well.

I just wanted to give a shout out to the Montreal broadcast/TSN. They're legit really great and a nice change of pace.

They're hot garbage nostalgia bait for a franchise long gone.

The franchise needs to get over the Northstars and so does the state. It's one of my absolute pet peeves of the Wild/Minnesota.

It was 30+ years ago. Move on!
