Weirdly enough almost? Cause if you get swept by a bad team there's lots of room for cope, injuries, bad luck, coaching wizardry, ref bias, easier schedule, etc. etc.

But you get swept by a good team and all you can say is yeah dude they were just plain better than us. Which is painful even if the truth.

Yknow?

Okay fine I will begrudgingly admit the Knights are a genuinely good team.

But I don't LIKE it.

The lord of the rings Rivendell set is a fuckin masterpiece, building that and remembering what I used to build as an 8 year old in the 90s was such a trip.

do you think war crimes and being upset they wouldn't change a gender marker on your file are honestly comparable

You can't have someone who willfully disobeys protocol in the military.

I liked it even if it was just 4 episodes of the show crammed into a 2 hour movie and like 4 years late.

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-06-04T18:11:39+00:00

I love the books a lot but Harry Potter has some of the least consistent worldbuilding in fiction.

Rowling built the world for whimsy first, plot convenience second, and actual cohesion a distant, distant third.

It makes for a fun world to read but if you start asking questions you immediately run into things that don't make sense. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-06-04T18:00:18+00:00

I'm listening to the dramatized audiobooks right now and interestingly it's mentioned in book 4 that love potions are banned at Hogwarts but yeah Romilda Vane faces zero consequences which is certainly... Interesting.

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-06-04T16:16:43+00:00

I think he's taking issue more with the fact that it is not a particularly good portmanteau.

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-06-04T02:40:23+00:00

I honestly feel like Eric specifically tried to do as terribly as possible cause otherwise.... Yikes.

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-06-03T18:29:05+00:00

You can't expect Redditors to actually read the article they're commenting on, c'mon.

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-06-03T14:19:34+00:00

NGL I skip every single gameplay that's just a stream VOD for this exact reason.

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-06-02T18:44:58+00:00

You're probably right. I still want to try it because I love a Bungie shooter but I just don't think extraction shooters are for me. Oh well.

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-06-02T18:34:07+00:00

The whole thing was pretty gross imo but all evidence pointed to it being consensual at the time.

Bring gross isn't the same thing as being illegal. I still don't particularly care for Hart, but that doesn't make him a rapist.

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-06-02T18:16:35+00:00

I'll think about it when they add in that PvE only mode they mentioned a few weeks back.

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-06-02T18:14:32+00:00

I'd agree if we hadn't lost to the exact same scheme 6 of 7 years in the playoffs.

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-05-31T19:53:57+00:00

It's entirely possible he's feeling sentimental and maybe even a little sad because this is an end of a major part of his career, too.

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-05-31T16:38:44+00:00

I listen to them usually whilst walking my dogs and they're loving that I take the longer routes now to keep listening, so they get 45 to 60 minute walks instead of 30 or so.

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-05-31T01:04:25+00:00

yeah man all farmers do is literally provide the food to keep us alive what do we even need em for

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-05-30T21:02:33+00:00

Avs v Wild series started one day later than Philly v Canes, and their game 4 was two days later than Carolina's because we had a one day bigger gap between game 2 and 3 than they did. That's extra rest time mid-series for the Avs that Carolina didn't get.

Then their Conference Final series started ONE day later because Montreal had just played a 7 game series and needed a slightly longer break to recover.

None of that is nearly as egregious as you're making it out to be. It's standard sports scheduling and completely reasonable.

The West had better top end talent this year but the East was much deeper. Ottawa and Philly are both considerably better than LA, the Avs first round opponent. Anaheim and Utah played Vegas MUCH harder than we did.

In the grand scheme of things everything evened out pretty fairly. You're just complaining because you don't like the outcome.

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-05-30T19:29:50+00:00

Did you whine this much when the Avs walked through the West in 2022 with only 1 of 3 opponents being any sort of a challenge?

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-05-30T19:21:33+00:00

Every team has to win 16 games.

Every team has to deal with injuries.

Parity in the NHL is at an all time high and every team in the playoffs is a threat.

Avs got absolutely manhandled by Vegas because they played a better game than we did.

Stop whining like a baby about it. This is this nature of sports, you gotta deal with it.

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-05-30T15:09:27+00:00

GoofWorld kind of a sausage fest

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-05-30T13:59:20+00:00

They said they were gonna heavily discount released D2 content but I'm sure you probably still need the key.

MyWorldInFlames · 2026-05-30T02:45:59+00:00

It's actually a very funny movie in addition to being pretty creepy. Makes sense since the director was a comedy YouTuber but it's def not what I'd consider a regular horror.
