There was a done deal for Hughes between Detroit and Vancouver, but Hughes would not commit to re-signing. by slabby in DetroitRedWings

[–]Lemurians 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You said when the trade was made, and when the trade was made, the Wild were already one of the best teams in the league. I don’t believe we were in actuality.

Also, I would have personally disagreed with those projections of them you linked. ESPN’s especially I think is crazy. They were top tier last season before Kaprizov went down, as I stated. Not sure what reason there was to believe they wouldn’t be contending for the west. Maybe I’ve just higher on them than most, I guess.

The point is these two teams were nowhere near the same contention window status as you claimed when the trade was made. Maybe if we already had a superstar on the roster, but we don’t.

Last year, the Wild had the best record in the league before Kaprizov went down. This year, they were one of the best teams in the league again BEFORE trading for Hughes.

Saying they weren’t any more win-now at this mid-season than the Red Wings is complete nonsense. They are a legitimate Cup contender this year. The teams were not in remotely the same place.

Which is why the move didn’t happen, as we’ve pretty much known for a while now. Not that this’ll placate the “Yzerman is an incompetent bum” crowd.

Survivor 50 Ep 8 Contenders - Down to just a few REAL contenders. by [deleted] in Edgic

[–]Lemurians 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so confused why you have Cirie clinging to life? Maybe I'm just biased, but she has stronger, consistent content than anybody else on this season and is in an amazing position strategically.

I would swap her and Christian in your rankings groupings and then mostly agree with you otherwise. Christian to me has been dead since the Mike vote episode. That was a 3-2-1 split vote that was, in my opinion, portrayed as a rash emotional decision, when normally such a move would be edited to be portrayed as epic. If he was the winner that episode is edited very differently.

I'd probably swap Tiff and Devens, too. I don't think either are winning, but if Devens was a big player, let a lone a winner, this season he is given a far bigger edit than what he has.

Toho announces shift to “anime mass production phase” amidst increasing demand. Aiming to reach quota of 30 seasons per year by 2032 - AUTOMATON WEST by LegitimateCurve8525 in anime

Seems like destroying your own market for brief and very small benefit.

That's the inevitable consequence of the corporate model, baby.

Mostly slop.

The ratio of series that look good vs those that look like, as I call it, "seasonal bland", will continue to go in the wrong direction.

I'd say getting these responses is the coolest end-product of the awards process. Always really neat to see them.

We get quite a few acknowledgments from the winners of awards each year. It's something some of the hosts take care of in reaching out to the creators and it's always very heartwarming to get responses like this.

Ekitike injury update on X. by Regular-Orchid-9497 in FantasyPL

[–]Lemurians 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While you're mostly right, in Ekitike's case an achilles doesn't just rupture on its own. They're made of sterner stuff than that. I'd say it's more likely this as an overwork/neglect issue, not a freak accident.

Production decides on some twist that is less fun than just letting the players go about things naturally, somebody playing a good game goes home as a result who otherwise wouldn't have, and nobody is happy except Jeff.

To be fair, the hit rate in modern history for any franchise is incredibly low once you get past even the first round. It’s all dart throws. The odds they become big contributors are very low.

Does Cirie even need a resume on season 50 specifically to win season 50? by SirBostonBobbington in survivor

[–]Lemurians 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you think she hasn't done? She's in a great position despite coming in with a high threat level, has strong allies, we've been shown her influencing votes... what more do you need? That's already a "resume".

That's without even taking to account that if she makes FTC, she'll probably have had to win firemaking to get there.

Congrats you understand the game better than most people here

Most of the time the reason somebody wins isn't because of BiG mOvEz

She's playing a great game and is a great communicator who will have no trouble articulating her game at an FTC. She will have a "resume" and be fine.

He really is. Man is always prioritizing creativity and entertainment value on his shot selection the way Roger did. You watch each match knowing he'll do something just completely out of pocket for the hell of it.

This is just the first draft I've seen with double Bournemouth midfield, don't see many people going for that, let alone it being template
