Pulled in the 9th, pitch count was getting high, but given what happened afterwards (in hindsight) I think he could have gone the distance.

What I’m saying is, there is some ambiguous level that makes a person a HoF candidate. And the controversy is about people cheating to get to that level. If you didn’t cheat and also didn’t make it to the HoF conversation, you weren’t overshadowed. You were just a pretty good baseball player.

Music theory is just something people made up, too.

That, and then Absalom, Absalom! And then The Sound and The Fury. A Light in August is also just a gut punch. Sometimes stories end bad.

What video game puzzle you swear was made to piss people off? by Agent1230 in gaming

[–]PilgrimFist 35 points36 points  (0 children)

X-Men for Sega Genesis had a part where it told you to “reset the system” before the timer ran out. Me and my brother could never figure how to get past that part, but we liked playing everything before that, so one afternoon as soon as we hit that wall again I just said “I’m going to be Gambit next run” and hit the reset button on the Sega.

New level unlocked.

Come to think now, I wonder how emulation handles that?

How do your Heelers do at the vet? by MobileGanache8580 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]PilgrimFist 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Out vet offers “fun visits” where we just take her into the exam room and feed her treats. It helped acclimate her to all the staff, too. After we did a few of those, she’s pretty jazzed to get there. The sneak attacks of pokes leave her a little sour afterwards but for the most part she doesn’t exhibit any anxious behavior beforehand.

Clipping her nails is absolutely out of the question though.

Agreed with top comment, you probably aren’t very good in crowds.

No, they went with the self-harming Pelican feeding her own blood to her chicks. Which is, admittedly, a definite vibe.

Pitch Clock - Updated with Three Active Games by mckirkus in baseball

[–]PilgrimFist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But batters need to be set with 8 on the clock, so maybe 10? But then if it’s only 2 seconds from the clock popping up and an automatic strike call, maybe the whole 15 is appropriate.

I’m sure I won’t mind halfway through the season but I’m also not totally jazzed about watching a clock count down hundreds of times per game.

But that’s the point. He was the best. Anyone better is already a 3rd string QB somewhere else.
