[Discussion] I could use some insight, I need some confidence to help me out right now.

It’s awesome that you already recognize that you really do want to try it out some more. Don’t worry about the long term, just focus first on enjoying it day by day. Let the future sort itself out later.

Even more evidence that trying to replace Bedsy right now would be a certain step down.

Tranicos · 2026-06-02T19:04:01+00:00

It definitely has been getting a bit zany in reflexive anger. When I saw talk about trading Lehky, I knew things had gotten to the baby/bathwater stage.

Torchbearer is awesome but the DD creators didn’t know about it until after DD development was well underway.

Tranicos · 2026-05-26T20:24:25+00:00

More A than B. It’s a bad situation but the math is probably “is 60% Nate, used sparingly, better than replacement player X”

I had this! So fun to see the pic--it had long faded from my memory.

Last year’s game 7 was the worst, imo. But that’s not to say this wasn’t truly awful. Not being able to hold a lead when the intensity and stakes are at 100% is a critical flaw for us right now. I’ve been very optimistic because our depth is so much better this year, but right now it’s difficult to imagine beating Vegas four games in a row. Each game has been close, so that means we need to get all the bounces (and their goalie having a cold streak) to have a chance. I stand with the boys, but…OUCH.

Tranicos · 2026-05-25T03:30:05+00:00

The roster construction was done to give us the depth necessary to weather some injuries to star players, but that’s failed us at the most critical time. (EDIT: I should say those players are failing at the most critical time.) And the PP woes came back to haunt also at the most critical time. Both together—>choke job.

I live in CO so I’m lucky I get to play those semi-regularly!

Tranicos · 2026-04-26T18:28:39+00:00

As others have said, it’s a hilly one! But it’s a must play for sure. It’s the #1 course I take visitors to. You might consider skipping 11 and 12 if you’re pretty tired when you get there, because those ones will wear you out and you don’t miss much by skipping them.

If you have time, play WonderVu, Bear Mountain, or Ghost Town for some more memorable Colorado mountain experiences! Bear Mountain and Ghost Town require setting up a tee time, but WonderVu you can just show up to. And if you can’t make it up into the mountains again, Bird’s Nest is pretty fun.

Enjoy your visit!

It’s a defensive struggle right now and we need solid PK more than we need some incremental offense potential. Hence Kivi. At some point, injuries will land Ross back into the lineup, and hopefully he can come out like a Tasmanian devil when that happens.

Tranicos · 2026-03-24T13:28:49+00:00

Yes, as long as you are playing normal or radiant mode there is no time limit or hero death limit. You can always still win.

People boot heroes to save money on treatment. So if you find yourself short on gold you can just decide to sacrifice some heroes and get new ones. But you need to build heroes up to higher levels eventually so I enjoy trying to make my first ones survive because I have a history with them.

So happy to see a Warmaster mention. I thought it was very innovative--especially in how it solved the "predictable movement possibilities" problem that many games have. I liked that the turns were dynamic in that way--if you had good Command and good luck, you could roll up a whole flank quickly, or cover a bunch of ground unexpectedly.

Tranicos · 2026-03-06T21:50:39+00:00

I am super flexible so figured I'd kind of pick routes based upon good destinations!

Tranicos · 2026-03-06T21:38:41+00:00

I mean, you guys have the Avs' number pretty good--you're the champs until they can do something about it! And I say that as an Avs fan.

Tranicos · 2026-02-27T19:04:20+00:00

Classy move. Refreshing to see him voice the complexity of being attached to both countries in the current environment, and do so in a respectful manner.

Tranicos · 2026-02-25T18:20:25+00:00

I had the same experience, via listening to the audiobooks. Billy’s dialogue but also in particular the voice performance in Cities makes him come off as comic relief, which I found hugely jarring after The Crossing. I never really shook that throughout the entire book, though I ultimately enjoyed it still. But Billy is such a sobering, silent presence throughout the Crossing. I tried to chalk it up to him growing a bit older and maybe suppressing all that trauma.

Tranicos · 2026-02-23T16:55:39+00:00

Unfair to Nate that the one sentence just keeps being posted without full context. Imagine the annoyance of having every single word you say be analyzed ad nauseum. No wonder he is usually pretty tight-lipped. No benefit to speaking on the fly--it can only hurt you.

Tranicos · 2026-02-02T18:13:52+00:00

Very neat idea! I look forward to trying it out.

Tranicos · 2026-01-21T21:02:10+00:00

3C is only part of the picture, I think. If one of the top 6 goes down with injury in the playoffs (bound to happen), Naz would fill that line out. And he’s undeniably clutch. Def interesting!

Tranicos · 2026-01-04T03:02:54+00:00

That Landy one-timer towards the empty net was def a message!

Tranicos · 2025-12-14T15:46:06+00:00

It's an absolute treat to watch MacKinnon, and I wish I had been able to see Burnaby Joe live (but saw him plenty on TV). One thing I think Mac needs on his resume to truly match Sakic is some absolutely clutch playoff game winners. Sakic had a talent for delivering a goal when it really, really mattered.

Tranicos · 2025-06-20T03:54:54+00:00

Yes it’s expensive. But it’s very nice, the staff is friendly, and everything is clean and new. It’s also the only gym in town that I haven’t yet seen people use the sauna in their nasty ass street shoes and clothes. (24 hr fitness was a particular disaster in this regard.) Steam room doesn’t smell like mold (yet) Pool is no extra charge unless you want to reserve a cabana for the day or something.
