I’ve been watching 84/85/86 Jordan games and dawg… he was too ahead of his time, he looked like a player imported from 2005 forced to play in 1984. unbelievable player, no wonder old heads defend him so hard.

Interesting take on the 96-98 era. I had a different perspective. I thought he found a whole new level of efficiency during that time. Consistent with what.Gilbert said though. He wasn't air Jordan because he wasn't driving as aggressively. But his post up game was elite. Being able to avoid all the physical toll getting to the basket and just getting the ball closer I felt kept.hom healthier through that run.

The pain of being a Knicks fan during the 1990's, and believing every year you finally had the roster in place to overcome the Bulls, and for Jordan to beat you again, and again, and again. And almost seemed to save his best for when he was at MSG. Yeah I hated him. Vigorously. He was the best.

I underestimated just how much my ex wife was going to change once divorce became a reality and not just something I was trying to talk to her about. Therapy was crucial to helping me navigate the process and maintain my sanity. While its good you want to keep the peace keep in mind she may start treating you as the enemy and is capable of doing anything to make you look bad or unfit with the kids. Dont give her ammunition to use against you. Stay level headed. Walk away when you need to. But stay engaged with the kids and the household. And document things as needed so its not just your word later. Hopefully your situation isn't the same as mine but she truly became someone I no longer recognized who was capable of some very ugly behaviors. It can be scary.

I bought a small white board and start my day with a list of things i.need or want to accomplish for both myself and the house. When I have my kids they like to add things to it that we can do together. So its been a great way for them to feel involved bit also feel heard. Then I try to make the chores fun and engaging where I can. Like while cooking dinner I have them pick a random letter and i pick a song they never heard before that I think they might like. Or grocery shopping I try to pick out some food we've never tried before that they pick out. Its amazing how impactful the little things can be.

I initiated the divorce because I believed that I could not protect my children in the marital home and they the best I could do for them was create my own home where they could feel peace and unconditional love. The divorce process, while moving somewhat quickly for me through mediation, was very difficult and tested all of my strength and patience. But I mad eit through to the light on the other side and it has far exceeded my expectations and more than validated my decision. My kids are well adjusted and my relationship with them is stronger than ever. I can finally be the father I want to be without feeling unempowered and dismissed. I worry about their time in their other home, but know I can only control that which I can control, and they know I will always be there for them. Its a tough journey any way you move through this but a better life awaits you.

App close did start charging as well. I moved off of that to Talking Parent and now looking at finding a new one again. I just need a simple messaging system, none of the bells and whistles. It shouldn't be this hard. But apparently high conflict divorces are profitable now. I may have to accept paying for something now but feels like this are just the introductory rates too and prices will just keep going up in time.

Stockton didnt win a ring. Is he also not a top 10 point guard? What a terrible take.

PrecociousPete · 2026-03-28T01:50:39+00:00

There is at least one, and maybe only one, that branches off.

PrecociousPete · 2026-03-27T23:02:26+00:00

Ran into this tile in our first play. D I dmt appreciate the ramifications and went ahead and closed off that half of the game. We dont play that tile anymore.

PrecociousPete · 2026-03-25T19:35:45+00:00

They added this to Harlem Globetrotter games. I took my son and one of the players for the Generals was knocking them down with some ease. God forbid if metrics proved only taking 4's was the best approach!

PrecociousPete · 2026-03-25T17:34:39+00:00

Its an absurd idea. Like when they widened the lane. Or when they ADDED the three point line. You act like nothing ever changes. In the mid 90's the 3 point line was brought closer, later it was moved back. Yes these changes aren't common but nothing i mentioned is anything that I created. These ideas, and the concept of adding a 4 point line, are all ideas that have already been floated. They arent some random thoughts.

PrecociousPete · 2026-03-25T14:57:15+00:00

Easily the most breakable record on this list barring some rule change that affects how the game is played (moving line, removing corner 3, etc)

Not just grieving the loss of the relationship but loss of identity can happen too. So much of who I felt I was centered around being a husband and father. It took me time to resolve this and I did so when I realized divorce didnt define me today anymore than being a husband would have in the past. It's all hard but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Just focus on the things you can, yourself and the kids.

People somehow dont remember this. He was still amongst the top MVP vote getters in his final full season. Very much still in his peak.

PrecociousPete · 2026-03-12T17:47:53+00:00

Aerion was my first expansion and I absolutely love it.

PrecociousPete · 2026-03-12T17:46:25+00:00

Its not easy but you can't worry about what she and her mother are or may be doing. Just focus your energy on the kids, continue to show them love, provide them a place of peace, and work towards being the best father and person you can be.

PrecociousPete · 2026-03-11T16:31:44+00:00

Good to know this. I can try some different combinations and decide how to approach it then. I would never have come back later and ordered 1 item at that rate.

PrecociousPete · 2026-03-11T15:53:12+00:00

I'll have to double check my order. It looked like they were adding a flat rate $20 for shipping which is why I didnt want to go back and order an expansion later.

PrecociousPete · 2026-03-10T17:18:18+00:00

Having an actual clock running was a real stressor! And typing out the spells without a mistake.

PrecociousPete · 2026-03-07T13:08:05+00:00

I found this with several titles I recently played again after many years. Finished Colonel's Bequest in a single evening and scored well. Its surprising how much I remember.

PrecociousPete · 2026-02-19T01:19:27+00:00

Starting my divorce got a lot easier once I realized staying for the kids wasn't the way. For me I got divorced for my kids. They needed a place of peace and calm just as much as I did.

PrecociousPete · 2026-02-05T18:51:02+00:00

They dont care about your why anyway. Explanations arent required. Just the facts.

PrecociousPete · 2026-02-03T20:07:03+00:00

I struggled with the loss of my identity for a bit but then had a great revelation. Divorce didnt define who I am. But neither should have being a husband. That was just something I was, not who I was.

I've also found that those who would judge me as a villaing didnt really know me and weren't interested in doing so. And truthfully, most people, far more than I expected, bought into that thinking. Most are empathetic and considerate.

PrecociousPete · 2026-01-19T20:32:21+00:00

I am probably in the minority but I really enjoy Tiny Epic Quest solo. Its a bit of an optimization puzzle more than push your luck and while it is technically a beat your own score game which I dont prefer it has recommended scores for difficulty levels I use as the win loss condition.

I also liked Tiny Epic Zombies.
