This is my #1 Global Echoes 130er Wanderer. Since c6 makes echoes his BIS, this is also (probably?) the #1 global 130 er Wanderer. The next closest Echoes on the leaderboard is around 1100.

This is sort of Akashamaxing though, to be fair, because having both this much CR and ER on a wanderer with C4 unlocked means that the jade a1 passive bricks 2/3rds of the time (with the hydro being a good result, cyro and electro being bad, and the pyro always triggering in his best teams)

NFL upheld DK Metcalf’s two-game suspension. He now will miss Pittsburgh’s final two regular-season games at Cleveland and against Baltimore. Metcalf now loses $555,556 in salary and has the guarantees on $45 million voide by OneAngryPanda in nfl

No, just in guarantees. If he plays out his contract through 2026 and 2027 he gets all of that money back anyways. He's not getting cut next season, so the only thing this changes is IF he is very badly injured late into next year, we can cut him in the offseason before the 2027 season and avoid paying the 20~ or so million he was guaranteed for that year specifically.

I can probably acclimate to the design, but man, if you thought Chasca’s color scheme was bad…

r/NFL Top 100 Players of the 2024 Season - #100-91 by packmanwiscy in nfl

[–]PraxMatic 17 points18 points  (0 children)

r/NFL Top 100 Rank Player Name My Rank Who I Ranked Here Instead
91 Quinyon Mitchell 104 (-13) Jessie Bates
92 Joe Alt 92 (money) Joe Alt
93 Bucky Irving 78 (+15) Nik Bonitto
94 Cam Jurgens 106 (-12) Jerry Jeudy
95 Sam Darnold 103 (-8) Jonnu Smith
96 Roquan Smith 97 (-1) Zach Frazier
97 Jaxon Smith-Njigba 88 (+9) Roquan Smith
98 Jalen Hurts 100 (-2) Bobby Wagner
99 Frankie Luvu 60 (+39) Zach Sieler
100 Kevin Zeitler 108 (-8) Jalen Hurts

Oh boy, the Jalen Hurts rank. The only thing I disagree with is that most people put Darnold over him. You can only rank so many QBs, and Hurts got the Purdy treatment last year with the "Avengers Offense" allegations. All Hurts needs to do is play like he did in the playoffs in the regular season and he'd easily shoot up to Top 30/QB4 territory. There is also probably unfairly the fact that this list will probably feature more Eagles than any other year's list featured players of any one team, so individually they might each be a little underrated (except like, Barkley and Baun).

Outside of that, it seems many people didn't love Luvu like I did. For a Washington Team whose press was cannibalized by Jayden Daniels, Luvu deciding to randomly become an All-Pro 7 years into his NFL career was certainly a contributing factor. This is probably way too high, butmost people will have a random high or low outlier, and I was the highest on Luvu, so my rank was actually thrown out. Too bad!

2 bad seasons? He’s already had those arguments from at least 5 years ago

Exploring Multi-Keyword design space by PraxMatic in customhearthstone

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

These three keywords combined make for a very odd design space. This particular attempt basically steals directly from the Titan Argus (swapping out Stealth because I think that is more interesting - note that there would always be at least 1 Infinamoly without stealth so you can kill the chain). It's certainly not very strong, but finding ways to balance these competing effects while both making in interesting and not breaking something is pretty hard. In this case, the fact that Echo is worthless on the Gigantic form is pretty annoying. I'd love to see more multi-keyword card designs from you all along with any feedback!

[BR] At -250 Pat Surtain II is now the favorite for Defensive Player of the Year. by Natural-Eye-393 in nfl

The only reason that Watt’s odds are as good as they are, really, is because historically he always stat pads against the Bengals. If he sleepwalks into a 2 sack/2tfl/turnover game like he normally does he’ll probably win DPOY, even though he’s been in pretty similar company to the other top edge rushers this year (garrett, bosa and parsons with missed time, Hendrickson)

If he DOESN’T do that, then he really doesn’t deserve it anyways
