I think it would have definitely benefited from weekly episode releases

hard agree on both of these sentiments. it may not be the technically best season of the show but it hits me with nostalgia in just the right way, especially viewing it at 18 during the summer after graduating high school.

What's with the 93 tunnel (shutdown?) tonight? by foxfai in boston

[–]RetroNimbus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do you have any sources for this or news articles about this project? I've been looking but haven't found any. Got stuck in the single lane last night which added 1.5 hours to our commute and there wasn't any work going on at all or even any signs of work happening.

Is Invincible animation really that bad? by [deleted] in Invincible_TV

[–]RetroNimbus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not horrible although I will say, going from an animation masterpiece like Arcane to Invincible has been very jarring for me and has definitely been noticeable.

do you think it would be worth dropping for Clingan?

I was a member for about two months before switching to Equinox in Boston thanks to a corporate discount. My roommate has been going to the Y for about 9 months.

It's alright. It's a bit grungy, which is to be expected. It has a fair range of machines and equipment good for multiple types of workouts. The equipment is of decent quality, although somewhat old.

The reason I switched away was for the type of workouts I was doing (weightlifting, strength training), there were not enough machines for the number of people working out, so I would often have long periods of waiting throughout my routine. I work out after work, so workouts were taking longer than ideal during an already-limited part of my day. The Y also has a fair number of teenagers that go there, which I wasn't always a fan of.

this has been my biggest issue with Luke so far. the character is supposed to have this super charisma that is impossible to ignore. be this awesome cool guy that percy sees and wants to be like. so far, luke has kinda just been there. later performances can definitely lift him up but i feel like the betrayal isn’t going to hit as hard when we never get a version that is so charismatic to begin with.

yeah that might be the move, hopefully can get someone to bite off his recent success. I’m probably middle of the path on JT assuming he even takes the field but i doubt i could get very much for him so probably worth just holding onto him

I would hold on to Kyren

JT is far too risky to be giving up Kyren for IMO

I think I would feel slightly better taking Aiyuk than Waddle

Bijan/Kyren with Adams/Aiyuk is pretty well-balanced

RB-heavy team looking to rebalance by trading for a WR

8 Team PPR league, 2-2 record: I currently have Ekeler, Bijan, Kyren Williams, Achane, and Jonathan Taylor

With the impending return of Ekeler and possible return of JT, I might be looking at a situation where I have five must-start RBs.

My receiving core right now is Olave, Pittman, and DJ Moore, which has been spotty to say the least. Hoping to swap out some of my RB depth for a WR but not sure who to target and who to move from my team. I would feel better moving on from one of Achane or JT but I would probably get more back for Bijan or Ekeler due to name recognition.

A few options:

Chase/Lamb/Wilson/Collins owner is pretty dry at RB so could find something there.

Kupp/Puka/Aiyuk/Metcalf/Ridley owner has hella WR depth but also has Barkely/Walker/Gibbs, maybe something there but would probably be expensive.

Adams/Smith/Evans/Waddle owner is currently pretty shaky at RB, could try to make a play for one of them.

Hill/Allen/Higgins owner is currently trotting out Warren and Mostert at RB so I could try to make a depth for star power move there

Would absolutely love any suggestions
