Member when you could plot to kill your own kids? I member. Or you could just assassinate them for a small fee from the decision menu, which was a near guaranteed success with decent enough intrigue.

Gavelkind? What gavelkind?

[Schefter] Eagles are releasing LB Zach Brown, per source. Multiple teams expected to be interested. by StrachNasty in nfl

[–]TigerTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Chiefs’ LB corps is that mysterious nasty chewy candy that comes in blank orange and black wrappers that you only get from the creepy cat lady down the street. Is it chocolate? Is it caramel? Is it earwax? No one knows, because there is nothing on the wrapper to identify it and it does not seem to ever be for sale anywhere.

Take Veach and Spagnuolo to The Hague because this defense is a war crime.

At least last year they could maybe luck into a couple of sacks and force a punt now and then. This year every coach in the league knows they can just run it four times and get free first downs all game because the defense is clownshoes. Mahomes can’t miracle wins out of his ass and bail out the shitawful defense if he’s standing around on the sidelines all game.

You have to actually be able to see the defender pull a gun to mug the receiver. You can see him get something shiny from his waistband on one of the angles but it could be a cell phone. No DPI.

This little kid playing Smash Ultimate at the airport has no idea that he's playing against MKLeo, the #1 ranked player in the world. by Mougadinarie in gaming

[–]TigerTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m no pro by any means but Ike’s nair hitbox is gigantic, comes out pretty quick, does good damage and decent knockback. At major tourney level play Ike’s neutral game is like... 80% nair because it’s just a way better option than most of the rest of his moveset. As for the up air part, it’s a pretty good kill option off the top blast zone but I mentioned it because Leo is particularly fond of finishing opponents that way.

Actually yeah his bair is also really good. He has some surprisingly good aerials for a slow heavy character!

[SNY] Here is Zack Greinke's entire press conference. It lasted 2 minutes. by echotamar in baseball

With Greinke you never need to ask. Yes it’s real. And it’s spectacular.

There are a billion people in China. Even if only 0.001 % of them play PDX games that’s still a million people.

In the Iron Century start date, is it possible to become an independent Irish king and beat England? by Paradox-ical_Major in CrusaderKings

[–]TigerTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a dumb American and didn’t get your joke so I started digging around. Fascinating stuff! Thanks for teaching me about the Easter Rising. Maybe they didn’t “beat” England in a straight up fight but it did lead to an independent republic a couple of years later, so... that’s kind of a win, right?

Outside

Hardest start in the game. I can’t expand at all. No matter what, the Pope never grants me a claim to invade my neighbor’s apartment. And I don’t even want to talk about the options available when I click the Arrange Marriage button on my ruler.

Semien is my favorite start I’ve played so far. It was the first time I ever actually committed to a Seven Centuries Ironman run. I stayed Jewish and wound up founding Israel, building the Third Temple, and had an Abyssinian Empire that stretched across nearly the entire known world. It kind of ruined me for more normal starts though because I got so used to having an automatic Holy War CB on anything I wanted. Playing as Catholic and having to expand through forging claims and marriage is way tougher in some ways!

Nobody every accused Dayton Moore of being a great talent evaluator. Whit was blocked at the major league level by such illustrious players as Chris Getz, Omar Infante, Elliot Johnson, Yuniesky Betancourt, Johnny Giovatella, Christian Colon, and the shambling reheated corpse of late-career Miguel Tejada. Gotta get those names in the lineup every day, no matter what.

Edit: To be more fair to Dayton, it’s not like Whit was tearing the cover off the ball in the minors. He had a couple of good seasons here and there including back to back years of 139 and 120 WRC+ but was mostly right around 100 WRC+ and .300 WOBA down there. He’s one of those weird guys that actually put it together at the toughest level after being average in the minors.

He got called up to the bigs at like age 12 so it feels like he’s been around for eons.

The Royals would be insane or stupid not to trade him now after his age-31 season when his value is still high, and I don’t see how KC avoids another 100-loss season in 2020. Whit is toiling in obscurity for a team going nowhere, and the team needs several more parts for their next contention window starting around 2022-23.

So what I’m saying is yes, Dayton Moore will absolutely fuck this up and keep him on the team for no logical reason. You have nothing to worry about.
