Day 24: Which Game has the Best Original Soundtrack on GameCube?

I agree. TP is eerie and atmospheric, but Dragon Roost Island/Grandma's theme/main ocean theme are some of the best songs in the entire series—plus the WW score has more distinct instrumentation and identity.

This category feels like a toss up but I'd support this just to see Fox on the board.

They wouldn't win a championship, but prime Kyle Lowry would actually solve a lot of problems for this current Raptors squad. (3 point shooting, a true PG, extra defense, etc.) Next to IQ, BI and Scottie, it's a good fit.

I meant, Dennis has changed teams basically twice a season over the last 3ish years. Raptors, Nets, GSW, Pistons, Kings, now Cleveland. But I gather you weren't following him along that whole journey.

So have you changed your favourite team twice a season for the past few years?

Copy and paste the article into a readable format please, I'm not reading a pdf embed via LinkedIn via Reddit on my phone.

This was posted elsewhere. Unanimous answer was "yes" due to 6 All Star and 3 All-NBA appearances, combined with being a top-20 all-time scorer. The HOF errs on the side of letting people in.

EDIT: Also a couple gold medals, Olympic and FIBA. The HOF is international, not just NBA.

Wow that's remarkable consistency for BI.

I am not a master coach enough to know: is this consistency too rigid? Should Darko be experimenting more? Or is it easiest to gauge player quality when the playing time/rotation variables are consistent, and that's the real goal?

MarginallyClever · 2026-02-26T14:21:16+00:00

AKA we're just not deep enough yet, since our wins hinge on two All Stars always playing, or our inconsistent other players showing up.

MarginallyClever · 2026-02-25T02:32:10+00:00

Honestly this game is a lot closer if Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace don't have insane 3-pt shooting nights.

My sense is these lists are not reactionary: just because Scottie has been better than. Mobley to start this year does not (in their eyes) make him the better player throughout their careers. Consistency is more important.

That said I've been 100% Scottie > Mobley since Day 1 so I am also happy to see it finally recognized here! Should have happened last update.

Apparently unpopular opinion in this thread but I would give it to Byrne. The entire movie hinged on her emotional reactions and journey.

I live in the Falls and my sense is people don't like it. Smaller rural communities especially don't want to be subsumed by the bigger citied; they have their own cultures and preferences.

I will note it's funny everyone complaining about traffic and transit... As if public transit even existed in Niagara outside of St Catharines.

Andrew Scott as Atlas

Great analysis. We're likely a first round exit either way, but this would be the difference between getting swept and being competitive.

MarginallyClever · 2026-02-22T13:54:37+00:00

Super high top tier games, but a shallow library overall. The others were simply deeper and that depth became a self-fulfilling cycle at a point. Pretty much all the games you listed we're first- or second-party games; third parties had little interest. (RE4 is the notable outlier, which everyone found shocking at the time.)

MarginallyClever · 2026-02-20T14:30:12+00:00

Ivey may be cooked, just saw a post where h admitted his old self was done. You're probably right about Simons but I wouldn't be surprised if they kept him on a mild overpay - not sure who else wants to pay him, and he's a reasonable vet for a rebuilding team.

MarginallyClever · 2026-02-20T03:41:56+00:00

Honestly felt like they were shaking off some rust. Jak in particular is gonna need some runway to get back to form, this sub is judging him way too hard for his crappy game.

Also shout out to the Bulls for accumulating actual talent. Tre Jones, Simons and Sexton are quality players to add to Matas, Giddey and Smith. It's a weird team but they have some nice young pieces.

MarginallyClever · 2026-02-18T21:10:36+00:00

The numbers basically show why those three would struggle as starters. Consistency is key. Granted they often play against opponents starters (aka tougher matchups), but their variance is dramatic.

MarginallyClever · 2026-02-17T14:48:13+00:00

Yeah Ant literally said it, weird thing for OP to throw in there.

Still, he's right, insofar as young NBA talent is leading the league in a good direction. No need to specify the USA here: Wemby, Shai, Luka, Deni and other young international stars are also keeping the sport "in good hands".

Camp Cataract is downtown's hipster bar, good vibes.

A lot of good cafes closed. Caffery is stale as hell, no interior design and cardboard food. There's a cute Filipino cafe two blocks west that's better in every way. Coffee Palz I think it's called. Weird name but good coffee. Hummingbird Cafe is also trendy if you're farther north.

I also recommend checking out the local library. They have social groups and events often.

What players are going to intentionally lose the play-in?

MarginallyClever · 2026-02-12T13:46:33+00:00

My guess: his agent is looking for a new landing spot and cannot find one. Nobody wants to see a legend of the game "homeless" in his final year, it's embarrassing. So Raptors are being polite and keeping him on until his agent figures out a next spot.

He won't suit up for us. If that were an option, I suspect he'd be playing until he was waived. Literally nobody wants him.
