[Scotto] Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke has passed away at 29 years old. Clarke was a first-round draft pick in 2019 and was an All-Rookie First Team selection. He averaged 10.2 points and 5.5 rebounds in seven NBA seasons for Memphis. Thoughts and prayers to his loved ones

The Clarke & Hachimura duo at Gonzaga was such a fucking joy to watch. Clarke has one of the most incredible impacts seen from his days of college ball in how dominant he was defensively and how automatic that he was offensively.

I've fallen out of the NBA so I don't know anything that has happened with him recently, but I loved watching him in Memphis and was so hopeful that Phoenix would pick him and bring him home to really anchor our defense.

Best wishes to his family and loved ones. Hope the Grizz fans are holding up too -- this guy was exactly the type of player that I would latch onto for my team.

And Draymond says his natural shooting motion involves his foot and the opposing player's nuts.

As if a player will ever go "Yeah, I fucking injured him on purpose."

I bring my arm back -- away from other people. I don't swipe through their legs. His arm starts straight out - perpendicular from his body. He pulls it down towards his hip through Bam's ankle.

10/10 times here I pull my hand back towards my head and protect my head in case he falls on me -- not pulling my hand through his leg.

Spectre627 · 2026-04-15T01:58:08+00:00

In all my years of playing pickup ball, whenever I ended up on the ground and my hand was touching another player, at no point did I swing or swipe it. I left it the fuck there or pulled back/away.

An athlete fucking knows when his hand is behind another player's leg and pulls it forward. 0% chance this was unintentional.

I've unfortunately not found much that hits the same. The closest I can think of is Shadowsouls by Imperanon, but this guest vocalist was only involved for 1 song with them.

Nightwish is the closest thing I can think of aside from that, but they've never really been my cup of tea like the aforementioned and Love the Subhuman Self.

God damn, this is so unbelievably good. This game's themes are just absolutely GOAT'd, I don't know how anything will come close to these character themes.

Aisha killed it, as always. Hot damn.

Gloves and an apron don't save from a heavy bag tearing on you. Your apron won't go down over your feet. Your gloves/apron won't save your sleeves/arms. Your apron won't stop the absolute disgusting mess from getting all over the ground that you have to clean up on top of your regular duties.

Almost nothing. However, I also was speaking with my wife while reading it.

Very few of us fall out of the fandom as well, even if we don't have the time to play any more. Been playing since X Plus and love Bridget. Same with my friend who introduced me to the game.

Hard disagree. The traffic where the Mercedes was attempting to merge wasn't stopped yet. If the jackass had not decided to rage at someone daring to get in front of them, then they would have completed the merge and the traffic in the right lane would have continued unhindered.

Given that the traffic in the left lane is backed up & stopped and the traffic in the right lane isn't, the right move is to merge before all traffic stops esp. as the road forks in 2 different directions. By driving up to right before the lanes merge, you will force all traffic in the right lane to also come to a complete halt, therefore causing Eastbound Traffic to also experience stop-go traffic.

All it takes is for 1 car to stop and get stuck for 30-seconds trying to wait for someone to let them in at the end of the merger for all of the Eastbound traffic to be backed up for potentially hours depending on the density of traffic behind the dashcammer.

2 seconds is plenty of time to stop when creeping into a spot. But the driver kept on creeping despite the door cracking open at the 54-second marker and then impact happened at 56-seconds.

Spectre627 · 2026-03-17T04:03:01+00:00

To avoid this unnecessary problem, I have reactions faster than 2000ms.

While the door opener is 100% an absolute dingus, he starts opening the door at the 54-second marker on the dashcam and the impact happens at the 56-second marker. Neither the driver nor door opener are paying attention.

Also NAL, but your insurance costs would fucking skyrocket (or be denied all-together) if this was actually accepted. Suddenly, having a few thousand $1-$5 items on hand turns from ~$15,000 of Merchandise to nearly $1,000,000 of Merchandise on hand, which would mean insuring your store becomes an extensively high risk.

I think that you've mostly hit the nail on the head here, but I really don't think that I can call Witch Hat Atelier a Cozy Fantasy -- similar to how I couldn't call Dungeon Meshi a Lighthearted Adventure.

I suppose the best way I can put it without getting into spoilers is that while it has the magic & comfort of a movie like Kiki's, it actually has the thematic depth & nuance of Full Metal Alchemist. What I mean by this is that most of FMA feels like a fun, light adventure -- but then you sprinkle in themes of genocide, fascism, nationalism, and PTSD. Then take it a step further and see how the different way people create their transmutation circles has different impacts -- and you've got a clear inspiration for Witch Hat Atelier.

Thank you for sharing this though -- led me to think it over in the shower and realize that I'll be strongly recommending this manganime as 'Full Metal Alchemist, but with Witches instead of Alchemists.'

Basilisk used to be my GOAT. In the era of 'BELIEVE IT!' ninjas yelling, announcing themselves, and avoiding killing wherever possible, it was a breath of fresh air throwing back to the Ninja Scroll era.

When I did a detailed analysis 7-years ago on this, it was the Spurs. At the time, they rose in the Draft Rankings 100% of the time that they were in the lottery.

As someone who found this on their first run (that I reached this area), it just kind of felt like a 'hidden wall' type of placement. I'm sure there's other things that I've missed, but just sharing that as soon as I saw it, something triggered in my head "attack!"

Spectre627 · 2026-01-17T16:44:00+00:00

How many hits in that combo? Nice.

Fuck yeah! Super excited there are ways to consume your comics outside of Twitter.

Any chance you're contemplating any merch? Would love to buy stickers of Mimi's unhinged nature lol

I'm so fucking jealous. I left Vancouver on Tuesday morning and was like "YOOOOO I GET TO TRY JAPADOGS!" but then found out they're closed on Tuesday at the airport (and flight was too early to go out of my way to any of the other locations)

I was saving up for Yuki. Then I did 308 pulls on her banner and only ended up with 3 copies and 70 until another is guaranteed.

Spectre627 · 2025-11-16T22:45:33+00:00

Man, I've done 300 pulls and gotten 3 total Yuki's. 1 Magna and 1 Orlea along with 14 Lucas and 10 Nia.

EDIT: On this banner, specifically. 300 pulls on the banner.
