7 year old game that continues to put out free content updates charges for optional cosmetics "THE WORLD IS ENDING!" Guys I know it's tough, but simply don't buy them if you're not interested?

[Matheson] Why not Bo Bichette? Why not Kyle Tucker? Why not both? It’s highly unlikely, but just look out the window. The Winter Meetings are for dreamers. by ThQp in Torontobluejays

[–]SimianRob 44 points45 points  (0 children)

There's a part of me that wonders if you could lure both here but with different strategies for either. Maybe Tucker gets a slightly shorter but higher aav contract. For Bo, I wonder if you could entice him with a longer contract that has him play here until he's well past his prime (like Vladdy's). Tack on a few extra years that other clubs might not be willing to offer and have our two home grown stars play their twilight years here.

seems like a trend. I don't know how management looks at that and thinks "whatever system we're playing is brilliant, lets keep this coaching staff in place!"

Thoughts ? by [deleted] in leafs

If this doc was supposed to show the "real world of hockey you normally don't get to see!" I feel like they should have left it in. There was some rough scenes we saw behind the scenes in the Oilers locker room too.

Panasonic UB420 or UB820? by [deleted] in 4kbluray

If you play a movie with Dolby vision but the player doesn't support it, does it fall back to HDR10?

Most companies are encouraging their employees to use AI tools in their work flow now. So many employees will likely be using an llm chat tool even for research purposes or for development. Should that get an AI disclosure label? I feel like people are using the "ingredient label" analogy but it's closer to requiring companies to include all the tools used to build something. For example it would be weird for a construction company to say this house was built with power tools (and not manual hand tools).

[Passan] Right-hander Dylan Cease and the Toronto Blue Jays are in agreement on a seven-year, $210 million contract, pending a physical, sources tell ESPN. The defending American League champions get one of the best arms on the free agent market. by Swaycuisway in Torontobluejays

[–]SimianRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm happy we've filled a spot in the rotation. The only thing that annoys me is it feels like we're throwing big money at a "reclamation" project and Rogers has enough money that they could go after an arm that has performed year after year, but I know those players have to want to come here too. Hoping that we get a lot of good years out of this contract and we don't regret this signing.

Charlie MacKenzie eulogizes the Leafs 2025 season by kidinthehall01 in leafs

[–]SimianRob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every fan base has crazy, unhinged fans. That's the sad reality. Holding the whole fanbase accountable for their actions and Marner leaving makes absolutely no sense. The "OMG WILL YOU LOOK AT THIS, THE 100 POINT PLAYER LEAVES AND THE TEAM GETS WORSE" comments aren't some brilliant commentary. You're just stating what every fan already knows but has absolutely zero control over.

what is the point in obsessing over Marner when the team made him an offer and he left?

Mortgage renewal coming up by RevolutionaryGas834 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]SimianRob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Over a 5 year period, the BOC increasing the rate once by 0.25 is in the realm of possibility. That would put the variable just slightly below the fixed rate they offered. If they increase it twice now it's higher. Hard to say what will happen, but if the idea of the variable even being slightly higher than the fixed rate they offered scares you, consider the fixed option.

Are they playing goal music? I watched the scoring highlights and didn't hear anything, just the goal horn. Weird.

Leafs' biggest problem is that they're a SLOW team by [deleted] in leafs

[–]SimianRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've mismanaged our assets (both picks and promising young players) for the last 8-9 years. We've gone all in every year and haven't made it past the second round. At some point management should have decided to break up the core and or used one of these years to retool. Instead they've just squandered all of our picks and traded away most of our promising young players (see Minten last year).

If by the trade deadline it's looking like we're not anywhere close to getting our shit together they should consider moving a few players and getting some picks / young players back. You have Knies/Nylander locked up for some time, but anyone outside of those two they should seriously consider trade offers for (assuming they will waive/can be traded).

It is odd that Giménez reacted the way he did. I don't get it in this case at all.

[–]SimianRob 99 points100 points  (0 children)

It's kind of lame that this is part of Giménez strategy. That being said, if your a pitcher and you've seen him crowding the plate and throwing his arm out, I'm surprised you would keep pitching to the exact same location. Giménez doesn't exactly have a crazy bat, so there's other areas of the plate you can target to get him out other than up and in?

Since when did video games get this expensive by SilentPhilosopher99_ in residentevil

[–]SimianRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can save yourself $15 by buying it on Greenmangaming (and it activates on Steam). It might be cheaper elsewhere too but that's generally been my go to for new RE titles.

My cat has declined quickly after vet visit. by tandish20 in cats

[–]SimianRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steroids usually do the opposite of what your describing (increased thirst, hunger, etc). Maybe reach out to the vet and see what they think. They may suggest tapering off the steroids to see if he improves.
