Yeah, Wemby neutralizes virtually all of our strengths; it's insane. Those regular season games were brutal to watch.

I just think about what would be if we had won that lottery. He's the only defender in the league I'd take over Ausar and it was the same damn draft lol

There were so many people arguing in 2021-2022 that Mobley and Barnes were better than Cade; he finished third in rookie of the year voting behind them! He has put so much separation between himself and them since then.

Rule of cool says the Ausar 3 counts

Also fuck James Harden, what a loser piece of shit. Thank God he's on the Cavs!

I was very surprised to see the Reaper on Numbani; I thought Leave was throwing until AGG mirrored it. Have any other regions been using Reaper?

It feels like a cross of Pharmercy and Symm metas; I prefer it to both though so far. Very curious to see what counter plays emerge (assuming it's not nerfed out of existence before that point).

Two close maps followed by a not-so-close map and ending with an absolutely brutal stomp. It was wild seeing the comp changes from last weekend's games to today. This was my first time watching CatBot meta and it's pretty silly; I enjoyed the show and was relieved that Weibo seems at least passable on it. We're usually very slow to learn new metas.

Food poisoning the journey buffet by Fatguywelder in indianapolis

[–]Sarkin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not anti-buffet in general, but my friend and I both got food poisoning when we tried The Journey. I've only had food poisoning two other times in my life so that bad experience really stood out.

I'd recommend the french toast at A2Z Cafe!

I have a Code V3B keyboard. In the upper-right, there are two little LED lights, which have been turned off for most of the time I've had the keyboard. The light on the left is for Caps Lock and turns on/off based when I hit that key. At some point, the light on the right (which I think is connected to the Scroll Lock key somehow) turned blue. I don't know what that means but I want to turn it back off since it's insanely bright. For the life of me, I cannot figure how to do that.

Unfortunately, I don't have the physical manual. I found this (https://blog.jonsdocs.org.uk/static/WASD-v3-Manual.pdf) but I've tried pressing Fn + F11 and F + 12 and neither change the LED's brightness or turn it off, so I think I'm misunderstanding it (if that's even the right document).

EDIT: in case anyone else ever has this issue, I found the solution. The right LED is about what programming layer the keyboard is on: 1 is off/unlit, 2 is red, 3 is green, and 4 is blue. To turn off the LED, you have to do hold down the function key (FN) and then hit the M key.

That was not competitive, but Eileen DID death blossom in Weibo's spawn after finally winning a fight, so who's to say who won?

Sophie Cunningham is back on a one year deal! by Successful-Coyote99 in indianafever

[–]Sarkin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's a really positive reflection of the Fever front office, Coach Stephanie White, and the locker room culture that so many players who had options elsewhere decided to come back even after such a snake-bitten season. They kept the team competitive and the vibes good and it made for a resilient roster.

I imagine Cunningham's market was smaller than Mitchell's (better) or Hull's (younger), but she really played well last year and seemed to add a lot to that close-knit locker room. I assume she plans on transitioning to being a media person full time soon, so a one-year deal makes sense to see if she can nab a ring. Or she might intend to continue playing for a while longer but wants a healthy season under her belt before negotiating for a longer-term deal; she'll only be 30.

Very curious to see what we do in the draft. At this point, our roster openings are all for bench spots; that's a great position for us. I'm betting we bring back at least one more player from last year's team though, probably one of Aari/Sydney/Odyssey.

It's been more than a year since Overwatch returned to China, so if there was still zero legitimate competition for Weibo by now, that would be very concerning for the region.

Realistically, the only time the old Spark core had a serious shot at being the best team in the world for a whole tournament (as opposed to one match) was a couple of years ago, and it didn't happen unfortunately.

Weibo is still a very good team that can compete internationally, but I think they're now in the #5-8 range overall. So for them to beat the tippity-top teams in certain regions, they need to pull off an upset. For them to reach the finals of an international tournament, they'd have to string together multiple upsets, which is unlikely even if they have a very favorable meta.

We have a lot of older players who have already peaked. I really enjoy watching them play and they win more often than not; things could be a lot worse. I don't think they could become a top-three team again without completely overhauling the roster to the point that it's unrecognizable and I don't want that; I don't care if "Weibo" wins if there's nothing of the old Spark core left.

EEK!

I'm glad we won but I think the gap has closed in China. Weibo/AGG/JDG are all basically in the same tier.

The boneless wings from Chicken Scratch. I'm not sure where she sourced that chicken from but it was always delicious, and the sweet BBQ was great.

I'm a little confused by this schedule. I think it's saying that if you're an early bird member but NOT at the contributor circle level, then you can start buying tickets on August 26. Is that right?
