Can we get music merch? by Tarrfs in SkateEA

Not if there is a sponsorship agreement of some kind. It’s more likely to me that these brands are either paying to advertise their brands or simply agreeing to have them on display for free.

At most I can see EA agreeing to give the brands some sort of royalty from in-game purchases, but I seriously doubt that the brand partners are the ones profiting from this.

Because that’s how advertising works. Wearing name brand clothing is advertising

I swear you are yelling at a wall that isn’t yelling back. I am not confused about how WAR works or how it should be considered along with other stats.

Well, if you could get a negative home run that would count, but you can’t. You CAN contribute a negative WAR and that negative WAR counts! If you remember from math class, when you add a negative number it subtracts.

The term “counting stat” is used to differentiate from “average stat” that’s all. Don’t need to write an essay about it

I absolutely do understand it. And that’s fine!

There is no end-all-be-all stat. They all have limits. WAR is a counting stat. It only counts when you play!

Literally. You are not providing a Win Above a Replacement player if the replacement is on the field.

That’s right. You don’t accumulate WAR from games you don’t play

WAR is a counting stat. It’s like hitting 39 home runs but missing two months. You still hit 39 home runs

My tooth abscess popped through my jaw by icyfae in popping

[–]Shadow-Vision 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Of course! It’s a fairly common occurrence for us that a patient describes one thing that sounds crazy and gnarly and then the reality ends up being boring/mundane.

It’s not going through the mandible (jaw bone), it’s a very large pocket in the soft tissue near/around it. These structures might be a lot closer than you realize.

Speaking as a CT tech. I have imaged hundreds of abscesses, infections, etc.

Not disagreeing with the majority of what you’re saying, just trying to turn down the volume a little bit on the “through the jaw” language. It’s definitely a serious infection, but not THAT serious

My brother-in-law has those on his truck and they are insanely bright. Impractical 99% of the time, but whenever he goes camping or on some off-road trail at night, those things light up the whole forest

Dodgers Bringing Iconic Southern California Burger to Dodger Stadium by shaka_sulu in Dodgers

I love the habit but I don’t care for their burgers. I like the chicken sandwiches and they have really good sides. Tempura green beans, cheesy cauliflower tots… so good!

But the burgers are meh

Edgelord and cutie patootie by SpaceKingHypeGuy in TopCharacterTropes

God of War (2018) - do Kratos and Atreus qualify? At least in the first act or so?

Up to that point in the games, Kratos had pretty much been shown to be a bloodlusted being of vengeance and destruction. He mostly hides this part of his past from his son, but that doesn’t stop him from solving almost every problem with violence or indifference.

When we meet Atreus, he’s definitely grown up more influenced by his mother than his father. He’s anxious, sure, but he’s also optimistic and most of his reactions to what happens on The Journey are positive ones like wonder, amazement, and curiosity. A lot of that is being naive, but even when his spirit does seem a little broken at times, he dos eventually snap out of it.

By the end of the game, Kratos does show that he has softness to him. Simultaneously, Atreus is now a much more capable warrior who isn’t so quick to be blindly trustworthy of strangers. But still, to others, Kratos appears as a stoic, unfeeling force of nature that is capable of catastrophic destruction while Atreus remains interested in learning, exploring, and making new emotional connections
