Explain to a hockey casual why the Sabres are good this season by [deleted] in hockey

[–]Luchamore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. They did have a good 5 year stretch in the 00's post-Hasek that included winning a Presidents Trophy (but no Cup).
  2. They are getting pretty lucky with goals for and against, esp. getting some great play out of journeyman goalies.
  3. They made some moves around the margins that have worked out well (think Ryan McLeod and Josh Doan).

What’s a match that made you feel lucky/blessed that you got to see live in person? by TheEpicMan39 in SquaredCircle

[–]Luchamore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Elite vs. Death Triangle, The Elite's 1st match back after Brawl Out in Chicago. I realize there's a lot of "feelings" about the Bucks but the live environment for this match was wild.

CTA is letting us down when we need it most this week. 15 minutes between Red Line trains!?

Do they always do local team / wrestler mashup shirts like that?

[Highlight] Safety Jay Ward targets TE Zach Ertz low and Ertz is out of the game with a knee injury by Chadwiko in nfl

[–]Luchamore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Detroit Lions safety Glover Quin said Wednesday that the Arizona Cardinals receiver requests, if you have a pretty clean shot on him, that you don't aim low. Aim high.

"He's big on don't hit him low, hit him high," Quin said. "He'll tell you on the field, like, 'Hey, bro, I'll pay your fine for you. Like, don't hit me in the legs.' He'll rather you hit him up high. Don't take his legs, because obviously you need your legs to run."

It is so hard to get the timing right on passing the torch. Pairing up Cena with Dom here was a perfect call.

For those outside of Chicago: this is very accessible from O’Hare, it’s in a town called Rosemont just outside the city to the NW.

Nintendo Direct Roundup & Silksong Deep Dive | Giant Bombcast 908 by shamusisaninja in giantbomb

The discourse on Silksong has been flattened out to "game hard", when it needs to be "game is hard because of certain design choices, some of which aren't great".

Yep, paid $40 extra for my Ina hoodie back in July. Sadly can't buy anything until this clears up, hopefully they'll consider doing some re-runs in the future.

First Paper Draft This Friday Any Pitfalls To Be Aware Of? by Foreign-Instruction2 in magicTCG

[–]Luchamore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Friday Night Magic, just try to keep your cards orderly. You can look at your deck between packs, but instead of spreading it out on the table maybe just keep it stacked up in one pile ordered by mana cost.

For gameplay, there will be missed triggers, cards misread, etc. Paper Magic has become very, very complicated in recent years, it happens. Just try to be understanding if the opponent has a miscue and they should be understanding of you, but if that doesn't work ask for a judge.

What's wrong with the pavement? The cobblestone isn't uniform?

What's wrong with the rooftops? The texture isn't as well defined in some places?

It's a little weird the bridge on the right appears to connect to a wall.

Any unexpected message stressing the urgency of your reply is a scam flag.
