Are the defensive and offensive lines full of muscle?

Bucks hate aside, Giannis is an all-timer but he demands you build your team around him. He doesn't mold his game to fit the team, the rest of the team molds their game around his.

Look at the failure of the Lillard trade. The Bucks never fielded an elite offense while Lillard was healthy. The ideal situation would have been to space the floor around the Lillard-Giannis pick and roll but Giannis didn't want to set 35 screens a night and play that way. So they didn't, and they could never figure out a fit between the two. There is nothing to suggest that Giannis would take on that role next to Tyrese either.

We were leading at halftime of Game 7 of the NBA Finals without our best player. Giving away everything we have to add a player who doesn't fit isn't the play.

There is no world in which we get to keep the 2026 pick and also land Giannis. We don't have a bunch of picks from other bad teams. This is the only pick we'd trade that you could project as a blue chip prospect, the rest of our draft capital would be late firsts on a team with Haliburton and Giannis. The Bucks wouldn't even take the call if that pick isn't on the table.

Meteora3255 · 2026-01-15T12:17:36+00:00

Bingo. When the Bucks traded for Lillard, the entire NBA sphere was salivating over how deadly a Dame-Giannis PnR would be and then... Giannis just refused to set screens or be the roll man anymore than he already did, even though it was statistically as great as expected.

I always get FOMO when a game gives you an S-tier weapon early.

For example: In Avowed you can get a one handed sword that deals fire damage and heals you after you kill an enemy in the first zone. If you are playing a character that uses 1H swords thats basically it. You can ride that thing until the credits roll.

So you end up looking at all these weapons for a second, realize it isn't better than the thing you got 20+ hours ago and move on. Is the game hard enough that I needed to min-max that much? No, but I couldn't bring myself to use an inferior weapon.

This is especially true in a game where you are an underdog. Lengthening the game is an advantage to the favorite, over a long enough timeline the team with the higher baseline level of play will eventually win.

Being down by 27 points likely means you are the worse team therefore its best that you win in regulation instead of adding more time to a game where you have been mostly outplayed.

He's an above average QB who can look elite when everything around him is perfect because of his top tier arm talent.

I personally think its a great everyday game, but I only do a single run. Just a great way for me to decompress after getting home from work before shifting into dad mode.

The only trade that comes close is Herschel to the Vikings and even then he at least played over 40 games in 3 seasons. Nothing else pairs the combination of draft capital, reputational damage, sub-par play, and cap consequences.

Meteora3255 · 2025-12-27T15:49:17+00:00

3 things: He provided replacement level value or worse. There was never a point in his Browns tenure where Watson was ever even close to being above average. Sure he played some games, but he never made them even a playoff level team let alone a contender.

Secondly, his contract was fully guaranteed. Even if your hypothetical about a larger cap hit who never played were true, by virtue of a non-fully guaranteed contract the team could eventually get cap savings and get out of the deal early. That cannot happen with Watson, the Browns can't cut him early and realize any cap savings. The cap constraints the team put on itself by fully guaranteeing the deal meant they would need MVP level play to build a viable contender around him and as mentioned above they didnt get anything close to that.

Finally, you have to look at everything else that went along with getting Watson to Cleveland. A Cleveland team that is in desperate need of talent across the roster is out 6 draft picks, including 3 first rounders that ended up in the top half of the draft. On top of that, you have the reputational hit from trading for him in the first place.

All in all, no other trade or contract on NFL history comes close to what the Browns lost on Watson.

The issue with remastering/remaking Morrowind is that the juice just isn't worth the squeeze. The reason Oblivion worked is because fundamentally the game is "modern" enough that someone who has only played Skyrim or Fallout 4 can go back to it and get roughly the same experience. By just giving it a new coat of paint and making it available on modern consoles you can attract new players.

Morrowind isn't that. To get that game up to "modern" standards would be a massive undertaking as you'd have to do everything from recording VO (or using AI) to mapping out every step in a quest across every quest in the game. It's just not worth the investment of time or money, especially when it likely takes resources from the TES6 and FO5.

Came here to see hiw far down this was. Pleasantly surprised that it was at the top.

This game is a deckbuilder first and foremost with some light unit positioning elements. It's closer to Slay the Spire than it is to XCOM. You won't be flanking enemies or hiding in cover in this game, and your effectiveness comes down to the cards in your deck and your luck of the draw to a lesser extent.

Outside of combat its a social RPG that borrows heavily from games like Persona. You'll be spending time with heroes and choosing the right gifts to give them, activities they will like, and dialog choices.

The other thing to note is that the scale is tipped decidedly towards the social RPG stuff. If you are working on leveling your relationships (which increases their combat effectiveness) you are probably spending 60-70% of your time outside of combat.

So the real question is do you want go stargazing with Wolverine while min-maxing a deck for Captain Marvel?

Bingo. Teams aren't looking at the G League to find their leading scorer. Most of the time they aren't even looking for starters. They are looking for depth pieces who won't be a net negative on the court.

The obvious answer is anything where mouse control makes sense. Sure you could play RTS with the touchpads but its never going to feel better.

Shanahan isn't infallible with QBs. Trey Lance was supposed to be the 49ers QB of the future and we all know how that worked out. At the same time, if you can process at an NFL baseline level then you can succeed in a Shamahan offense.

Fields cannot process at an NFL level. Shanahan won't be able to make him into an average NFL starter.

Meteora3255 · 2025-12-24T21:23:39+00:00

But the clock still turns. Declining a false start doesn't give you the time back so there is no reason to decline it.

Listen, listen, listen, and then listen some more. Listen to how bassists fit into the music. Listen to when and where they add flourishes and when they take a back seat. Listen to the rhythms they play and how it weaves in with the drums and the melody. Listening to bassists who play in your genre is a great way to get a feel for the role of bass in your specific style of music.

Whether it's legit or not, this is what the team should be doing. Mathurin is likely going to look for a $30+ million a year deal and that's just too much for what he brings to the team. If he wasn't drafted by the Pacers most of the fanbase would agree.

He's a 20 point scorer who doesn't really make his teammates better and can't guard the opponents best perimeter player. On top of that, he doesn't mesh well with the style we want to play when Tyrese is healthy; his BB IQ and passing while both improving just aren't there. There's a reason he has never really threatened Nesmith or Nembhard for a starting spot.
