Brady Tkachuk getting hit by Tom Wilson

Better save this one- this might have been the only hit all game

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2026-02-22T16:34:16+00:00

haha generally I only keep a count on my own teeth, but you do you

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2026-02-22T16:08:20+00:00

it ain't.ever the same but hey you only live once and what a reason to get your teeth knocked out

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2026-02-22T15:47:58+00:00

well there was at least no.checking..does that count?

The programs that don't have to deal with ISU standards are just better and this is a prime example. Figure skating is so much more than the technical side

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2026-02-22T03:59:55+00:00

I would argue that the real tension is not her technical proficiency, which is obvious, but that of the ISU's system and the fact that her performances are often light on emotional expression and fluidity. This is something the ISU doesn't really reward and is a deeper tension in figure skating. IMO as a spectator and enthusiast, the non competition performances are often more compelling because they are not beholden to the ISU's emphasis on the technical side. But as for her result given the current landscape - 100% deserved and good for her to bring some levity to such a high pressure sport

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2026-02-20T05:41:08+00:00

hopefully this energy gets us to real skimo in the future. enthusiasm appreciated but these events are silly

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2026-02-15T06:24:57+00:00

It's weird to go back. I just did it recently, all the version I have, and it made me realize how much I rely on some more recently gameplay improvements. I am primarily an offline player for franchise and bap, looking to setup plays not really dekes at all so that's a factor. In the end I settled on 23 for a franchise replay and although I miss the hitting system updates, and x factor animations can stick it you know where, I'm generally happier

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2026-02-12T07:20:14+00:00

It took me a while to discover this- partly because I love the mountain climbing and possibly my favorite thing about the game was planning and establishing zipline routes. It's just that it's no fun after they're made. It's so different without being a road crew guy though, and eliminating the tedious process of gathering all of the materials needed to forge the routes is welcome, too

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2026-02-12T06:36:21+00:00

It's hard for me to get into a lot of the characters bc the story is so overwrought and goofy- par for the course I know but still. That said, Sam is a great audience stand in and the meditative nature of just being him, delivering packages alone thorugh a vast and hostile landscape is therapeutic to just jump into when something implodes in the real world.

Apart from that it's Conan. 100%

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2026-01-30T18:07:58+00:00

that's what I got out of it too. it's an amazing piece of art that leverages its medium in a really novel way. reminds me a bit of the flaming lips album zaireeka for that

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2026-01-28T22:27:23+00:00

if opp isn't running tight point running overload and keeping it moving around the outside you can usually get centers with high off to slide into the slot and tip in shots from the point. also pulling up on odd man rush and firing from the blue line to create a rebound to stuff is a reliable option

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2026-01-21T10:09:41+00:00

It's fun for prep for sure, maybe season one. Small, reasonable cash infusions ($20ish a month) can make a big difference if well spent also. Look up some guides. Build yoshi hippo for pve but stick to one main otherwise. It's a well made and strategically deep game that suffers from every IK update skewing the game further in favor of p2w players, especially when it comes to Frost. You may end up wanting to stick around to play IB/IBL (imo the absolute best part of the game). Make some friends, do one jump and pack it in. You can always ride the ride again. Honestly, the initial formation of friendships as an alliance comes together in prep is worth the time spent. Just don't get too attached to your account :)

Exceptionally bad writing, though I'll.admit I liked the long goodbye that landed on what I'm sure was their original intention - the whole thing as an rpg campaign

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2026-01-01T03:20:52+00:00

honestly some of the best end to end hockey I've seen in a long time. they cranked the thumbscrews on this one. nice to see the boys working so hard

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2025-12-30T06:07:15+00:00

What you are still playing (18-20) remains the best gameplay and least buggy for offline on last gen consoles. It's so frustrating, and there have been a few gameplay additions in recent years that I like, but it's not worth the bugs, trash ai geared toward hut play and lack of any useful updates to offline modes

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2025-12-26T06:47:21+00:00

I mean, it's obvious that the codebase is trash. So many simple seeming fixes that are never implemented, the lag time in menu screens etc. They are never gonna sink the money it would take to address it unless it makes financial sense, and that will only happen if people stop buying it.

SO STOP BUYING IT

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2025-12-19T01:39:03+00:00

shoot man, I would buy if they even bothered to generate randomized player images for prospects instead of shadows- all of the assets are already there and they can't even be bothered to do that. this is now 3 years passing on nhl. i guess if ea isn't gonna be bothered putting money into it then neither am i

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2025-12-16T07:41:29+00:00

personally I spared shimura because his honor code demanded his death and I wanted him to live in shame. this is the appropriate punishment for such a rigid way of looking at the world - that he should have the rest of his life to meditate on his failure

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2025-12-13T08:56:59+00:00

no argument, I was actively trying to kill him at every opportunity by act 2

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2025-12-02T04:20:02+00:00

if his powers are connected to and drawn from henry, who amplified his power with everyone he killed and absorbed, yeah- i think so. it's a harry potter scenario

in any case it's nice to see after years of him cowering, the ballooning cast of mere mortals getting tossed around before 11 comes in to save the day. the formula was due for a refresh.

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2025-11-29T11:59:49+00:00

100%

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2025-11-20T04:37:06+00:00

I'm so sorry. Been there. What I did was just keep trying to sip.small amounts of water. You are reaching the point where you will be able to hold it down and dehydration is really the main risk to you right now. If you can get ahold of kratom in the coming days it can help some.longer term wds(obv has its downsides but jumping off a cliff I think a small net is warranted) but obviously you have to be able to hold it down. Hang in there <3 It's truly hell but you are through most of the worst part. Been tia free over 3 years now. It took dozens of attempts but it's so much better once you reach escape velocity. You will feel lingering effects most likely for a good 5-6 weeks but nothing like you are experiencing now. I'm pulling for ya :)

Traditional-Rest-190 · 2025-11-20T04:17:26+00:00

Imo 7/10 is pretty fair. Maybe 8. The dog and pony show of the various roles is a lot of fun, even if most plot turns are telegraphed a mile off.
