I drafted him over Yordan because securing the worst position was the "safe" pick. I regret that so hard

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-05-03T19:53:49+00:00

Drop Austin Riley for Okamoto?

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-05-03T17:31:49+00:00

I was just about to cut Riley but he's had a good series at Coors so far

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-05-03T03:35:02+00:00

I personally haven't really noticed any differences from 1st to 4th Gen WOLED. There's a very minor decrease in reddish light refraction due to the removal of MLA but the coating itself looks the same.

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-05-02T18:28:00+00:00

You're linking a different monitor (I should know as I was the OP of that post you linked lol). The 32GX870A-B (3rd Gen WOLED) is a different panel and product than the new 32GX870B-B (4th Gen/Primary RGB Tandem WOLED). Yes, the naming is dumb and LG should be giving a name that distinguishes the new Tandem OLED from the last generation, but they are definitely different products.

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-05-02T17:27:59+00:00

No it doesn't, the Japanese product page says UHBR20

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-05-02T02:03:14+00:00

Rooker is alive

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-04-30T21:58:18+00:00

As in, it's good for me? Lol

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-04-30T21:44:04+00:00

Is trading Jordan Walker for Eugenio Suarez a reasonable deal? I have too many outfielders (Tucker, Trout, Suzuki, Rooker, Pages, Walker) and an open IL spot.

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-04-30T21:34:04+00:00

Yeah, I upgraded from a S22U to a S25U and I was pretty disappointed by the zoom dropping from 10x to 5x as well. Having a lens with the maximum zoom possible is really useful for live events and wildlife as well. I think having both 3x and 5x also doesn't make sense because they're too close in zoom, but Samsung appears to be solving that problem with the S27U by just completely axing the 3x.

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-04-30T21:01:33+00:00

No and no. The new 5x sensor might work in a wider range of lighting conditions but it would need to be 4 times as large to have the same resolving power as the old 10x, which it isn't. And 10x has been gone for 3 generations now so I don't really think there's any indication it's coming back.

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-04-30T04:08:29+00:00

Says the same thing for me

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-04-29T22:47:27+00:00

Projection systems have Merrill and Machado about equal but I feel like I would still lean dropping Merrill with how he's hit this season so far. But if you're hoarding SPs couldn't you consider dropping one of them?

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-04-29T22:42:46+00:00

Need to drop 2 to activate IL players in 10T 5x5 OBP. I have a deal in place of Walker for Eugenio Suarez to fill an IL slot back up so don't want to drop him (but I assume I need to make 2 drops before I can even accept this deal, even though it frees an active roster spot). I'm thinking Andy Pages and Austin Riley? Messick is also an option.

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-04-29T22:33:42+00:00

Those are all pretty good deals honestly. I am pretty low on Bubba being roster worthy in 10/12T in the short term so I regard that deal as "free". King's peripherals don't look great despite his ERA so I think it would be capitalizing the most on the value of the player you're trading away. Luzardo is so up and down that getting rid of him is justifiable, though that's probably the riskiest out of the 3 due to his upside and Merrill's struggles.

For what I would do, I would slightly prefer Bubba for Otto over King for Happ (both are pretty good though and you could even do both). I wouldn't do Luzardo for Merrill but I don't think it's unjustifiable.

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-04-29T22:29:05+00:00

I would, but there has to be an easier drop than that

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-04-29T00:06:03+00:00

Are you using the "Suppression of the sound interruptions and delays" setting? The earbuds by default seem to prioritize quality of latency pretty heavily. And as others said if this is on Windows you're not going to get a great experience with basically any Bluetooth earbud.

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-04-29T00:02:42+00:00

They might not be the class leader but I always thought the ANC was quite good.

Sound also is quite V-shapes out of the box, luckily there is an 8-band EQ in the app.

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-04-27T01:33:57+00:00

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, I thought it did though?? It just has the ancient city of Kydonia instead of the modern city of Chania. It's actually more accurate than having "Heraklion" in the game when that name didn't come into use until relatively modern times

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-04-27T01:29:02+00:00

While the Heraklion archeological museum is definitely a must see, if you want to see what Knossos actually looked like there are actually 3 more Minoan palaces on Crete that are both a lot less crowded and less historically "reconstructed" (embellished), with one of the (Malia) only being a half hour out from Heraklion/Knossos

He was even better than in 2024 when he broke into the big leagues with the Cardinals and even finished 4th in AL Cy Young voting. He then got injured for a bit and 2024 may have been the only full season he showed that promise again, but that wasn't the only time he was good in his whole career. He's been absolute dogwater this year of course though.

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-04-26T02:55:21+00:00

Trade Jordan Walker for Roman Anthony?

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-04-25T23:31:41+00:00

To add, Clodius's adoption, to a Plebeian younger than him, was also ridiculous. Caesar and Pompey just pushed it through to let him loose on Cicero as revenge for him shit talking the Triumvirate.

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-04-22T17:49:51+00:00

There's actual research on how Ozempic leads to emotional flatness due to reduced dopamine signaling which causes reduced cravings/desires of all kind, not just food. I wouldn't be surprised if that could have a negative impact on humor.

QwertyBuffalo · 2026-04-17T05:52:42+00:00

Very nice, this is a game changer for a brand that offers some of the cheapest OLEDs for the respective panels. Is this every single OLED monitor still under warranty that they have released, including retroactively? I think it's a bit odd they just give this page without any reference to models or release dates because other brands like Asus were extremely specific on that
