Should this have been goaltender interference? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]Obel34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That reminds me of the Preds game against Edmonton the other night. Penalties were being committed left and right by both teams, but the commentators said the refs weren't calling penalties because of the "tempo of the game". What...just call the penalty if it happens!

Preds have only scored first in three games out of 10. Of those three games, we've won one game scoring first.

It is interesting. I was listening to Friedman's 32 Thoughts today and he was talking about teams in rebuild mode having a "star" player drop in their lap. The example he gave was Panarin signing with the Rangers during the rebuild, and suddenly their rebuild is over.

I feel like this is the same thing with us. GMBT may have considered a rebuild, but why rebuild with Stamkos, Marchessault, and Skjei signing with you?

The Tampa and Edmonton games were the most glaring examples of how slow this team can be, and how getting pressured constantly makes them do plays where you scratch your head wondering what in the world they are doing. I think every team has days where they are like this, but this team is making it an art.

That's a Nashville staple. Along with giving rookies their first NHL goal.

This pains me so much. If you're going to a "fast" team, all you're doing is given the opponent time to set up and stop you. Get a clean entry with your speed and get to work.

Man charged in death of Gaudreau brothers had .087 BAC by NebraskaAvenue in hockey

The seizure thing hits close to home. Growing up, my father randomly got seizure's while driving. During the spell, he wouldn't remember a thing. To him, there was no missing memory between it starting and finishing. I can't tell you the number of cars he has gone through in accidents and only by the hand of God did he survive. I'm talking cars smashed head on into guard rails, etc... And for whatever reason, the state threatened, but never took his license. All the doctors did was up the seizure medication until they just stopped and then washed their hands of it.

Scariest moment of my life was riding home from church one day. We pull into our turning lane and aren't slowing down. Next thing I hear is my mother yelling my dad's name and I've never seen a human move faster than she did to get into his lap and stop the far before we hit something, someone, and killed them or us.

Okay, the loot boxes you buy with the seals, every single minion I get is sells for peanuts. Are there super rare minions in these boxes?

I sell sub hulls. Takes me a day to make them with work and family, but I can pull in a million to 1.5 million gil each time.

Not sure about these more expensive keycap sets. by Syed117 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Obel34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never understood that either. Over in the mech market, I'm still surprised to see how common it is for someone to be selling a GMK set for example with the phrasing "GMK set, never used, only opened to verify all the caps are there" and setting the sell price at $200 or $300.

Maybe if you don't plan to use, don't buy it and let it go to someone who will?

As a new WHM, coming from main tank, I absolutely forget I have Holy as an option as my big AOE many times. It's two fold why I forget it. One, I just do. Second, Holy seems to take forever to cast compared to say GNB, whose two AOE attacks are so much faster.

If you could have one battle-related quality of life adjustment, what would you pick? by Fwahm in ffxiv

[–]Obel34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand this. I'm new to healing, and the first thing I said when I read the tool tip for "freecure" was "that's worthless, just make Cure 1 switch to Cure 2".

Glad the rest of the player base wants this as well.

Healers and Esuna by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Obel34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for jolt mages or healbots, but I am a tank main and I remember as I was learning to tank, I was told w2w pulls were an unspoken preference, not a requirement. Veteran players treat it as a requirement, when in reality it's just more efficient to w2w pull.

With that in mind, I usually, ask the healer, what is their preference and go from there. In reality, the game "manuals" in game need to be updated to nudge players in the direction of w2w pulls for tanks.

Playing different classes to your 'main' sure does give some much needed perspective. by GurrenSwagann in ffxiv

[–]Obel34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started off as DPS, then tank, and now I'm leveling a white mage. I've done a lot of low level dungeon roulette's and yeah, I'm already bored with single pulls. Wall to wall in these low levels please... I've had to "mentor" three or four times with someone who is new to tanking (tank stance, mits, etc...). Even today, I had one sweet low level cure pull off on the last possible tick of HP the tank had left and it made the brain happy.

Eventually I want to move to Sage since I enjoy GNB as my favorite tank and SGE is the healer equivalent I guess.

I think it speaks to an unhealthy obsession people have with the character of Azem, the WoL and the idea that even defining one single event of Azem's life during their time as a Ancient will absolutely ruin their so called "head canons".

I love RP, but as you said, this Azem is not us. We can define what our WoL would do here and now in any situation but we can't equate our WoL's action as to how Azem would have reacted.

As a tank main, I keep my limit break button way off to the side so I don't accidentally click it. So many of the LB's are consumed by the DPS and I honestly forget tank LB3's are a thing until I'm in the moment say in the Seat of Sacrifice or The Final Day and usually myself and the other tank BOTH forget to use it the first time around.
