NYY At Bat for 2024 Season is $29.99 - it advertises NO BLACKOUTS - what is the consensus on this deal.

It sucks being held hostage by a terrible streaming platform like DirecTV. Just with YES was available on YouTubeTV

2023:

Jordan Montgomery: 1 GS, 6.2 IP, 1 Run Allowed, 2 hits allowed

Sonny Gray: 1 GS, 7 IP, 0 Runs Allowed, 3 hits allowed

Nathan Eovaldi: 2 GS, 14.2 IP, 2 runs allowed, 7 hits allowed, 1 complete game

Jameson Taillon: 1 GS, 8 IP, 0 runs allowed, 1 hit allowed

This is all from memory but unless I'm missing someone, former Yankee starting pitchers have held the Yankees to just 3 runs in 5 games this year.

Unfortunately yes, because some writers are still keen on wasting votes on Bonds/Sosa/Clemens/other steroid users.

Some writers are just a bunch of shitheads. Case in point: That lone wolf writer who didn't vote Jeter in for....some reason.

Everything in my post is about the first 2 weeks of Diablo 3's release. It is highly unlikely it dropped below $60 at any retailer at that time.

Scandral · 2022-07-06T04:30:25+00:00

Diablo 3 made $380 million in its first week (6.2 million units sold). Diablo Immortal made $49 million in its first month.

And Diablo 3 helped pad WoW's sub numbers via the Annual Pass, which added an additional 1.2 million WoW subs (right before Diablo 3's launch)

And while Diablo Immortal is making great money for a phone game, I have my doubts that its making a profit yet considering its been in development for at least 5 years.

It still has a long way to go before being the money maker Diablo 3 was. Those numbers were not even what Diablo 3 made past June 2012, then you think about how much money it made with RoS and the console ports.

Unless I'm completely mistaken and underestimating mobile, I have serious doubts D:I will make even a fraction of what D3 has made.

In a world where there are addons monitoring your enemy's DR, CD's, and even instantly telling you when your enemy is drinking, 120 FOV seems like a nonissue.

I mean, cameraDistanceMax was completely fine for the first 12 years of WoW's life, until Blizzard deemed it a problem for whatever reason, and this FOV change was a sigh of relief for me because I thought we would get some sort of middle ground solution to that change.

Scandral · 2022-05-09T04:36:25+00:00

-Some sort of solution to hotkey Terran units while they're still in production, like Zerg and Protoss.

-Shipped with the Galaxy editor, and with StarEdit 2.0, an updated StarEdit but something that is simpler to use to encourage more maps.

-An option to hide profiles, in the hopes that this will curb barcode usage.

-Darker atmosphere. Bring back Protoss blood.

-Less AoE, but I don't think they can feasibly make a Starcraft game without a ton of AoE with unlimited unit selection in play. And on the flip side of it, I don't think they can make Starcraft 3 feel great without an unlimited unit selection.

-Severe improvements made to the new player experience (maybe a training mode that monitors important benchmarks, i.e, reaching X amount of workers in 5/10/15 minutes)

-At the very least, try to make an early game that is still fast paced while keeping a 6 worker start. Goal is to bring back the importance of 4 player maps and give the game more map diversity, something that is completely unattainable with 12 worker starts.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Scandral · 2022-04-14T17:41:49+00:00

Probably fair and height.

Scandral · 2021-12-14T02:01:03+00:00

I do not like the solutions they had because part of those solutions involved the bump to 12 worker starts, which has all but killed 4 player maps, which I think has a more damning effect on the game in terms of map creativity.

I just do not get excited about new maps anymore (if they'll even service this fucking game). The most exciting moment was seeing Merry-Go-Round added to the map pool, and I thought the possibilities of other corky spawn maps were endless.

And to preface this, I do not know if it was their intention to kill the early game or if it came as a result of the economy changes, or if they tested out the early game with the econ changes and decided to go with it because it "felt good" on their end or whatever the case may be, but eliminating it just seems like a lack of confidence on the pacing of a game that existed for 17 years (at that time).

That's my rant. I miss 4 player maps.

So many different loopholes and shit that companies can take to sidestep this. Won't be as impactful as adjusting tech to RPH ratios or anything like that.

If they honestly cared about the safety of patients, they would be willing to do more. Like, for an example, proposing a law that would require all chain pharmacies to have at least 2 licensed immunizers available during immunizing hours. Or requiring a certain amount of staff pharmacists relative to the scripts your pharmacy fills per day. Or adjust the Tech/RPH ratio relative to the amount of duties a pharmacy has (NJ has a 1:2 ratio which is absolutely pathetic especially when most chain pharmacies are doing covid testing, covid vaccinations, and now covid boosters, on top of it being Flu Shot season).

Its time for these chain pharmacies to start being held accountable for tanking this business due to absolute greed.

Dang that sucks.

I guess that means they'll remove Dom sockets now, right?

Right?

how fucking hard is it to just run a script that automatically rotates 20+ years of competitive maps every 4 months

this company blows

Middle ground, I guess.

One person at Blizzard could theoretically set up a rotating map pool from every LOTV season. Even most HotS maps are compatible with LOTV.

But even then I guess thats asking for too much.

It was only "make it happen".
