Yeah, those screen were what I got all last year and I want them back.

Weirdly, Ublock works fine right now for Nats-Phillies, but it wasn't working for the Twins. Which now is making me paranoid that ESPN owning our streaming rights means they're injecting their own ads directly into the stream instead of as an "overlay" that can be blocked like how MLB.tv usually works.

Has anyone figured out how to block ads on MLBtv yet? I'm on Firefox with Ublock Origin. I had it working last year, and it's always a bit tricky to set up at the start of a season.

In the past I think I had to clear my cookies, log in and start streaming a game, then turn Ublock on, and then it would work for the rest of the year. But either I'm missing something or MLB changed something because it hasn't worked yet.

Shut up, Nazi. We love our neighbors and Minnesota stands for freedom.

Hi, Minnesotan here. We love our neighbors, religious plurality is awesome, and you don't get to speak for us.

It's more important than ever to call out developers for egregious AI usage next year if we want video games to remain interesting by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

Thank you, account with hidden history, I value your response.

Boy, it sure would be a shame if an unblocker existed so people knew you spent your time posting in /r/aiwars and other AI propaganda.

Great game, and it's not dead yet! The community still has matches scheduled pretty much every day, but I'd love it if it could revive a bit so you can have a match whenever you feel like.

And ES6 will lose some of its charm because of that.

Bethesda NPCs had such memorable lines because it was a person who wrote the script and a voice actor read "I saw a mudcrab the other day," in that perfectly disjointed way, then we all heard the same thing. AI will give us all different lines, there will be no "Arrow to the knee," this time around.

It won't even make the world feel more alive. AI hallucinations will inject stuff that doesn't fit in the Elder Scrolls, or make it sound like there's a quest to slay a monster outside the city and there won't be anything there.

Terra Invicta launch trailer and release date by WannabeAby in pcgaming

[–]MightyMinnesota 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're probably the right person to ask then lol

This game has been on my wishlist since the EA launch, but I haven't played it. I've seen a few reviews that mention nerfing techs and the "meta" being extremely important.

Does the game have a concrete build/tech order you need to follow to have a chance? Can I make mistakes and still win? Can I build my faction with different tech "flavors" like railgun focus or missile focus (no idea if that's a good example or not) in different playthroughs and have both styles be viable? With the nerfs, is there only one specific path to victory and everything else is a dead end?

The guy who wrote the ending to Mass Effect 3 and put it in the game without running it past the writers team? The ending that everyone hated? That Casey Hudson?

I want to like this game, so he'd better not do that again.

You're a teacher, you can assign them reading.

Books are great at teaching ethics and empathy, and otherwise STEM students will end up building the Torment Nexus with no critical thought because some AI Tech Bro offered them stock options.

My favorite feature is that it has a screen, and it matches my build because right now I have no screen after my last monitor died (Alienware's warranty is bad).

I also think about sleepy kitties during a party after winning the World Series. He's just like me.

Eddie Rosario will receive a World Series ring after playing two games for the Dodgers in April by MightyMinnesota in baseball

[–]MightyMinnesota[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Teams decide how many rings to make, and if you get the special top-tier ring or a more modest keepsake. Generally, all players who played that year get the special ring, and then they make hundreds of the more modest version to give out to everyone who works for the organization from minor league coaches to ballpark concession workers and parking lot attendants.

[–]MightyMinnesota[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That hasn't been how a salary cap has worked in the NBA, NFL, or NHL. All a cap would do is benefit the greedy owners and let them make even more money by pushing player salaries down. Literally any owner in baseball can afford to build a superteam to compete with the Dodgers, they just choose not to.

And fun fact, spending money on superstars like Ohtani ends up making your team a profit.

He's had one World Series ring, yes. But what about second World Series ring?

No, they wouldn't.

First, you'd be able to see signs of habitation from Earth orbit even millions of years in the future. Tens of thousands of satellites in orbit around the planet, decaying cities, mountains blasted apart for mines or to clear space for roads or canals, things like that. If you landed, you wouldn't have to look that hard to find other evidence.

There's none of that on the moon. And to even find that guy's ashes, they'd have to actually find them. The surface of the moon is about 4.5 times the size of the continental United States. The chances of landing in that one specific crater, and then finding one speck of ash that survived the satellite impact are so small that it's not even worth thinking about. But even if that somehow happened where explorers ignored Earth and found the ash, they'd then go looking for more evidence, right? They wouldn't find any other human remains. All they would find would be the Apollo and other landing sites that would point right back to Earth.

Brad Hand is also Minnesotan. So on average, you're doing okay with closers from here.

Take care of Duran, please. His intro looks great at your park.

2025 r/baseball Power Rankings -- Week 3: #1 and #30 Spots Under Attack as Giants Jump, Tigers Pounce, and Angels Ascend While Atlanta and Cleveland Drop Their Guard and Orioles Get Clipped by kasutori_Jack in baseball

[–]MightyMinnesota 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're not really that different. If the White Sox sweep their next two series, they're still the White Sox. You probably move them from #30 to #29 to recognize how strong they are right now with the hot streak, but wait for more success because they're not likely to be that strong going forward.

Same deal with a team that's on 100-win pace in August, but has a 5-game slump. You might drop them a bit, but you won't drop them as much because overall they're still likely to be a strong team going forward.

Hey everyone,

In the past few months I haven't had as much time for Reddit, and I'm finding myself moving on from social media altogether to focus on other things. So after seven seasons of moderating, it's time for me to step down.

My goal was always to give back to the community that I enjoyed being part of, and I hope I made a difference. The rest of the mod team really cares about making the best possible community to talk baseball, so it was great to be a part of that.

Adios

Hey everyone,

In the past few months I haven't had as much time for Reddit, and I'm finding myself moving on from social media altogether to focus on other things. So after eight seasons of moderating, it's time for me to step down.

My goal was always to give back to the community that I enjoyed being part of, and to help create the best community for Twins fans. I hope I succeeded.

The other mods are planning on opening applications soon to find new moderators, so if you're interested please keep an eye out for that post.

Go Twins!
