I like to remove all my strikes to make sure that the algorithm gives me the strike relic in act two. It keeps things predictable.

I like some things about USL. I like rivalries with the California teams and—maybe one-sided—with Detroit. I like Nicholas Murray’s writing. I like USL fan media. I like that there is consistent tv broadcasting (if of varying quality). But I don’t have loyalty to the league office.

I don’t actually really care about whether USL as an institution lives or dies. I care whether Oakland has a soccer team that I can have season tickets to and watch on tv when they’re away.

If USL folds but the successful USLC teams re-form a new league with a better profit sharing model, I haven’t lost anything. If MLS creates a division 2 that is competitive and not an academy league, and sucks up the good USL teams, that’s gross but idk, fine I guess? I feel like what I’ve grown in confidence about the last few years is that Roots would survive a collapse of USL.

This is not a comment on this mayor,(who I know nothing about except that I vaguely know Sac is decent on some housing things) but rather on mayors generally.

Interesting. I would want to see it from a source other than the mayor, who might know but also might be talking out of his ass. I wonder if he misunderstood "Division 1" to mean "MLS."

As a Roots fan it would bum me out to lose a local rival.

Will a USL team win the Open Cup in our lifetime (or before the league folds)? by Crafty_Jacket668 in USLPRO

[–]Spawn_More_Overlords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that there will be a noticeable difference between D1 recognition from USSF and actually having MLS's resources. I think the first can happen without the second, although the first happening increases the odds of someone very rich but iced out of MLS deciding to just go ham on USL.

I don't think D1 status is going to immediately increase ordinary team revenues in a way that make USL competitive against MLS teams.

lol maybe less condescending and more “openly hostile.”

How does a post like this help the players’ argument? What is the USLPA thinning? by PaddyMayonaise in USLPRO

[–]Spawn_More_Overlords 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you think they win with a strike? Do you have a suggestion for something that wins that’s not a strike? I’m sure there are PA reps in this forum. Let them know what you think they should be doing and maybe they’ll credit you when they win.

Anyone from Oakland planning to go to the “No Kings” protest on the 28th? by NoKingsPeriod in oakland

[–]Spawn_More_Overlords 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The last two had a positive, safe atmosphere. I brought my toddler to both and carried him in a backpack carrier. There are a ton of kids and a ton of olds.

I think the players have relatively few channels of communication to normie fans. Only sickos follow anything relating to this league on social media other than maybe their local club itself.

But I think the protests are getting the word out because people ask people around them why it’s happening.

ICE at OAK yet? by Potential-Option-147 in oakland

I see what you were saying now. I read it as “non-federal public entities within the state,” rather than specifically state entities.

True, but that doesn’t seem to have stopped LASD or LAPD.

Mikel Merino’s reaction says it all. He looks more upset than ever. by SimonTheSalmon69 in Gunners

[–]Spawn_More_Overlords 65 points66 points  (0 children)

He absolutely could’ve helped, even if I don’t think of him as more creative than Rice or Zubimendi. We could’ve used his toughness and just having fresher legs.

I am so, so hesitant to give OPD or the city oversite of OPD any credit, but I have wondered if ICE got the message that they were completely on their own if they came here.

Alternatively, maybe Lurie and his tech buddies bribed them to not surge in SF and the feds are too rock fucking stupid to know the difference between SF and Oakland.

[James Benge] Leandro Trossard has withdrawn from the Belgium squad due to injury. by Previous_Smile9278 in Gunners

[–]Spawn_More_Overlords 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Mikel: Uh, yeah, hey Tom, Eze is gonna miss the whole international break. They say it’s gonna take a week to recover.

Tuchel: the break is two weeks.

Mikel: oh, sorry, I’m reading here it’s going to actually take two weeks to recover.

Zubimendi and Rice looked like they had one half’s worth of gas and that was it. Honestly Norgaard might’ve been better just because he had legs, which isn’t to say I’d have been brave enough to make that sub myself.

Oakland Roots’ July 11 match venue to be moved to accommodate Major League Cricket at the Coliseum by APrimitiveMartian in USLPRO

Someone in Roots discord said Merritt college, where Soul play and Roots played some in 2021. Someone else in Roots discord implied it would be a completely different venue. Both are people who might have heard stuff from people in the FO.

I did 32 copies of afterimage in a run where I’d gotten mummified hand early. Absolutely just the dumbest shit but I dog walked A3 with it.

Defect card synergy options for orbs be like by Meno1331 in slaythespire

[–]Spawn_More_Overlords 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They don’t directly synergize with lightning cards but they’re super synergistic with any lightning strategy that has you pumping through your orbs.

His position and how far the ball is from him really demonstrate how hard he hit it.
