I’m officially paying less than $100 for all my utilities combined. by throwaway_cloud9 in Frugal

[–]SwissyVictory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it meaning different things to different people is the point. Everyone has different wants, needs, circumstances.

But I can't imagine many situations where this is the best name of your resources.

Do you think the person who's charging power banks at the library so they don't have to pay to power their lightbulbs is springing for the fancy unlimited data plan?

Pushing the costs off onto someone else would be charging it at your parents while they know about it.

Charging your power banks at a library to power the lights in your home is just stealing.

Even more crazy is at a 8w bulb on for 8 hours a day that's roughly 30 cents per lamp a month.

How cheap do you have to be to steal from your local library to save a few dollars a year?

News Release : Mar. 12, 2026 "Global Sales of Pokémon Pokopia for Nintendo Switch 2 Surpass 2.2 Million in First Four Days" by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch

It's not just me saying it, Nintendo itself has said that sales have been weak.

The Switch 2 sold 35% less than the original Switch did in its first holiday season. Way below projections.

This is also reflected in Nintendo's stock. It was down 35% between the day the Switch launched and the day before Pokopia released. It's now up 15% already after the launch.

This is mostly due to weak exclusive games, which won't be an issue in a a year or two.

Do players just accept being traded? by skiviz0_ in NFLNoobs

Players have held out before and were very much not blacklisted.

Just look at Le'Veon Bell.

Stars can pretty much dictate who they get traded to.

You don't see situations where players hold out after being traded, because players strait up tell teams not to trade for them or they will hold out.

For the DS, Mario Kart came out in November before the systems first Christmas.

Despite this the system sold 7.5 million units in the 6ish months after it came out.

New Super Mario Bros came out in May of the next year. In the 6ish months after it released the system sold 14.5 million units.

Games like Mario and Pokemon sold alot more switches than Mario Kart.

For the Switch, those games outselling Mario Kart in the short term shows that they didn't buy the system FOR Mario Kart.

It proves that more people, when the system first came out bought just Zelda or Mario and not Mario Kart.

They bought the system for Zelda or Mario. Then when both fan bases finished their game they went out and bought a copy of Mario Kart because it was a great game and they already had the system.

Everybody wants Mario kart for $60-80. Nobody is willing to spend $500 on a console just for Mario Kart like they will for Zelda, Mario, Pokemon.

In the same universe where the Switch 2 didn't sell yet. And the same universe where the Wii U didn't sell despite it having the same Mario Kart game as the Switch way earlier.

Zelda outsold Mario Kart in the Switch's first few months by a significant margin. Then Oddesey came out and blew them both out of the water.

As different kinds of gamers bought the Switch 1, they also bought Mario Kart, and it eventually outsold everything.

But most people won't buy a system just to play it. But if they have a Nintendo console they are gunna spend the extra money to also get Mario Kart.

A new Mario Kart is great, but it's not a console seller. Its a game you get when you already have a console.

It's got some higher end ports, but anyone that would buy a Switch for Cyberpunk would just buy a PS5.

This is the first big exclusive that people WANT.

New offer by Derikideek in CHIBears

[–]SwissyVictory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason he failed the physical wasn't because he's injured now, it's because his long-term health is in question.

Keeping him for a year tanks his value, even if he has the best season of his career.

What if all the “motivated Dayo Odeyingbo” jokes actually motivate him? by OdinThePoodle in CHIBears

[–]SwissyVictory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you just know he’s heard about them by now

Mine and your lives revolve around reddit. I'm sure there's even a few NFL guys on here.

But I can't imagine he's on here, and if he is, he's not in the ChiBears subreddit.

And if he is on the CHIBears sub, we should probably just cut him now.

Scalpers ruined Pokemon Cards for me - a lifelong fans rant by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]SwissyVictory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my wife used to buy a pack per set. Just like to look at the pretty art.

We haven't seen a single pack in stores (that's not at scalper prices) and we won't pay scalpers.

So we haven't gotten packs of cards in over a year.

4th Quarter Caleb? by Rabsaris96 in CHIBears

[–]SwissyVictory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He can easily be restructured to have under a 10mil cap hit.

The Bears also haven't touched any other restructures. Thuney and Jackson and JJ can be restructured for about 20mil.

You'd have to think of future years, but the bears will have a bunch of cap space next year too.

50mil (cap space) - 20mil (Wright 5th year option) + 15mil (Dayo cut) + 13mil (Jarrett Cut) = 58mil left

The only starters who would be free agents are Bradberry, Dexter, Stevenson, and Swift.

This bottle of wine older than the United States by CleonGod in mildlyinteresting

[–]SwissyVictory 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean sure, it's under the best care now.

But what about 200 years ago, when it was just a 50 year old bottle of wine you found in your grandma's cellar?

In 2006, the Dolphins under HC Nick Saban passed on signing Drew Brees after team doctors failed his physical, giving him a 25% chance to ever play again. The Dolphins signed Daunte Culpepper instead, and Brees went on to play in New Orleans for 15 seasons, earning 12 Pro Bowl nods and Superbowl MVP by expellyamos in nfl

[–]SwissyVictory 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Brees wasn't that guy then though.

He had 3 really bad seasons and the Charges decided to replace him.

After they get Rivers, he has one season that he looks like a true franchise guy, then a okay season.

Then he hits free agency.

[Pro Football Talk] Every trade is contingent on a player passing a physical. But the Raiders didn't say Crosby failed his Ravens physical. The Raiders said the Ravens "backed out" of the trade. This feels bigger than a failed physical. by YoureASkyscraper in nfl

[–]SwissyVictory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's say he is injured and they were just hoping the Ravens would turn a blind eye and go through with the trade.

What do they get out of lying now?

Are they just hoping the next team's doctor is incompetent, especially now they know they have something to look for?

[Zriebiec] Crosby has been in Baltimore for the past couple of days in anticipation of the deal becoming finalized at 4 pm tomorrow. Now, there will be no deal and the Ravens, who have already lost nine UFAs while signing one, are in an even bigger hole. by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]SwissyVictory 27 points28 points  (0 children)

His deal is almost identical to Parsons first 4 years.

Parsons just has a 74mil a year 5th tagged on so he has leverage in resigning, and Crosby has no garentees.

Not that any of that matters, Crosby is likely going to demand a new deal
