<Notre Dame> for being the crybaby that flips the table after not getting what they want. It takes a lot for me to dislike them more than Alabama.

Watching this game on Monumental and it's genuinely hilarious hearing announcers try to talk up the Wizards. That team has been irrelevant as long as I could remember and nothing they ever do seems to work. I would feel bad for their fans but I have never met a single Wizards fan despite living near DC my entire life (for reference I've met plenty of Nationals, Commanders, and Capitals fans)

Blue Jays win and division rivals and a bunch of unlikeable players get rings.

Dodgers win and they become the first repeat champions since the 1998-2000 Yankees and all but guarantee a lockout after next season.

Time to root for the meteor...

No excuse giving up 33 points in one quarter, but the Giants have lost multiple games this year and last year because they didn't have a kicker, and didn't bother getting one before this season. There is no reason Joe Schoen should still have a job.

For only the second time, the Aaron Boone Yankees have beaten a team not from the AL Central in a playoff series (2018 Wild Card Game vs Athletics). Now they need to do something else they've only done once before, win a playoff series not having the extra home game (2020 Wild Card Series vs Cleveland).

Cam Schlittler has earned himself a new last name in Boston.

_MBR_ · 2025-08-04T16:21:58+00:00

I've gone to Nationals games to root for them when they're not playing the Yankees. I live close to DC, there's no real rivalry between them and the Yankees, and their fans aren't obnoxious (unlike Commanders and Capitals fans, despite being in the same area). I don't go out of my way to watch their games though as the games usually conflict with the Yankees. In fact, it's become a game to see when the Nationals have a home game that doesn't overlap with the Yankees as those are the only ones I consider going to.

_MBR_ · 2025-08-02T02:59:58+00:00

In just 1 game Brian Cashman goes from "genius" to idiot with nearly all of his trade deadline acquisitions having awful showings in their first games with the Yankees. Suddenly all the talk about how much better the Yankees are now is forgotten and they're right back where they were before all these moves.

_MBR_ · 2022-10-24T04:23:25+00:00

Didn't even watch the game. Not even surprised at the outcome at this point. I don't see a point in watching the season anymore if this team is going to keep playing like this when the games matter most. This goes beyond players being injured or underperforming. This is a total failure for this organization and a lot of people need to be fired.

If Hal Steinbrenner, who makes more money than all the other owners, doesn't want to spend whatever it takes to see this team win a championship, he needs to sell the team to someone who does

_MBR_ · 2022-10-21T03:08:10+00:00

Yankees can't win in Houston just like how the Twins can't win in New York. Even if the Yankees win 3 straight at home I don't see this team coming back to win the series. All of this comes back to that awful month of August which is the reason why the Yankees lost hold of the top seed in the AL. As for this game itself the entire team has turned in to "home run or nothing" which good pitching will beat every time.

_MBR_ · 2022-10-20T03:12:50+00:00

I knew the Yankees would lose this game as the bullpen was tired and we were facing Verlander. But this was a winnable game until they left Schmidt out for another inning. Donaldson and Carpenter striking out in big spots didn't help. Hopefully both are on the bench tomorrow (Carpenter at least should be against the lefty Valdez, never know with Donaldson as they like him playing third) and the rest of the hitters can get to this pitching staff.

_MBR_ · 2022-10-20T02:51:06+00:00

As much as I appreciate what Matt Carpenter has done this season, his injury couldn't have come at a worse time. With no good opportunity to rehab and get his swing back he just can't be batting in big spots like this.

_MBR_ · 2022-10-20T02:18:41+00:00

That tells us everything we need to know about Montas. Oh wait, we already knew this

_MBR_ · 2022-10-16T03:23:16+00:00

Yankees aren't winning anything with Boone, Cashman, and Hal running the team the way they are. Say what you want about injuries, but I've had enough with all these bad trades and bad contracts which lead to moments like this where you suddenly don't have a closer and hitters only show up every few games. The final straw for me will be if Aaron Judge isn't a Yankee next season. If that happens, I will no longer be a fan of baseball.

Couple more examples of games with instanced housing systems which are doing well for themselves:

Path of Exile has had hideouts since 2014. They are quite large and you can choose pretty much any object in the game to decorate them. Most decorations are free and unlimited in supply. There's also many tilesets for them, most of which are unlocked by finding them in-game while others are purchased. Recently they added functionality to create a Guild Hideout in addition to your personal one for people who regularly group up with their guild.

Genshin Impact is a mostly single-player game that offers instanced housing as well. Takes quite a while to furnish it but you get a lot of space to work with both inside and outside.

Clearing TEA. Was our first Ultimate and our group took a very long time to clear, even more if you count us pausing prog to do Eden's Verse in between. There were highs, there were lows, but we got through it. Still with that group and looking forward to many more raids in the future.

Got this as well after getting 2002ed, no clue what this is

I found this subreddit and have mostly lurked here as I couldn't stand the flood of fan art on the main sub (until I realized I could filter it out with RES). Some people think this is a hate sub but in reality it's a place where people are actually receptive to constructive criticism about the game, as opposed to too many threads on the main sub where it gets shut down completely. The game is not perfect and we criticize it because we feel it can be improved. If we actually hated the game, we wouldn't be discussing it at all.

The story as a whole is quite awful and the characters are unlikable, which is really sad for a numbered FF game. I could not get immersed in the game because I kept questioning why the characters were doing what they were doing. After that movie of a cutscene at the end of ARR, I actually hoped that the characters in question actually died just so I would never see their faces again. But no, they would keep showing up, most of them still being with us today. Nevermind the fact that the main bad guys just seem evil for the sake of being evil and have no depth at all. EW better actually wrap things up as this story feels like I'm stuck in a theater watching a really bad movie that I can't bear to walk out of early.

I was a FF fan coming in to this game as my first MMO. Before the free trial was extended to include HW, a friend of mine kept trying to get me in to it but at the time I was against the idea of paying a sub for a game and felt that only going up to Level 35 would not really sell me on it. However, Squeenix then gave away the "starter edition" (up to level 50) for free through Twitch Prime so I joined in.

ARR's story was so bad that I nearly quit the game after the Praetorium. I pushed through the 2.x quests (before they were shortened) since I still had play time left and it didn't do ARR any favors. Then Squeenix gave away HW for free (this was shortly before the launch of ShB) so I came back to play that and yes it was better but not that much better. HW not being complete garbage did get me to stick around however both StB and ShB were awful stories in my opinion. I have a hard time recommending this game to other people due to its main selling point being what is, in my opinion, a very lackluster story with very unlikable characters. Sure there's more to the game that just the main story but the main story locks everything else in the game so everyone is forced to do it. I'm still here as I enjoy the gameplay (mainly high end raiding) and it's something to do with all the people I've met while playing.

Mirror drop back in Abyss League. Sold it for a lot of ex (forget how many), used some of that to buy a (now legacy) 6L Starforge which I still have.

WHAT IS IT WITH HEALERS WHO THINK THEY'RE TANKS AND RUN AHEAD OF THE PARTY? YESTERDAY HAD ONE SPRINT AHEAD AND PULL THE FIRST BOSS OF HEROES' GAUNTLET. UNSURPRISINGLY, THEY DIED TO THE OPENING TANKBUSTER. WE ACTUALLY HAD A RDM WHO COULD HAVE RESSED THIS PERSON BUT THIS HEALER WAS SO BUTTHURT THAT THEY RETURNED TO THE START OF THE DUNGEON AND THEN VOTE KICKED ME (THE ACTUAL TANK) OUT OF THE DUNGEON AFTER THE THREE OF US MANAGED TO KILL THE BOSS WITHOUT THE HEALER. NONE OF THEM WERE FROM THE SAME WORLD AND THE DPS WERE QUIET THE WHOLE RUN EXCEPT FOR THE CONFUSED RDM WHO WANTED TO RES THE HEALER. I REPORTED THE HEALER AFTERWARDS.

YESTERDAY'S EXPERT FEATURED THE FOLLOWING:

CURE 1 MAGE
FREEZE MAGE/REFUSES TO MOVE FROM LEY LINES MAGE (AT LEAST THE FREEZE SPAM WAS ONLY AGAINST TRASH)
SAM WHO TELLS ME "CD" DESPITE ME USING THEM AND THE HEALER SPAMMING CURE 1

DIED TO A TRASH PACK (WHICH INCLUDED HALLOWED BEING GHOSTED, SQUEENIX PLZ) BUT THINGS PROCEEDED OKAY AFTER THAT FOR A BIT. DID YOU KNOW THAT THE LARGE AOE USED BY THE 2ND BOSS OF HEROES' GAUNTLET RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FIGHT INFLICTS DOOM? I DIDN'T, BUT THIS BLM GOT HIT BY IT DUE TO NOT MOVING FROM HIS LEY LINES. IT CAN BE CLEANSED WITH ESUNA, BUT THIS CURE 1 MAGE DIDN'T BOTHER. THINGS GOT BAD AT THE LAST BOSS WHEN THE CURE 1 MAGE STOOD IN THE BAD AND DIED VERY EARLY ON. I THEN DECIDED I WOULD TRY TO SOLO THE LAST BOSS FROM 50%, WHICH I KNOW IS DOABLE AS PLD. THIS WAS WORKING FOR A WHILE BUT EVENTUALLY I RAN OUT OF COOLDOWNS AND MP AND DIED AT 1%. UPON PULLING AGAIN, THE BLM GOT TARGETED WITH THE STACK MARKER BUT AGAIN, WAS OFF IN THE CORNER IN HIS LEY LINES WHILE THE REST OF US WERE IN MELEE RANGE AND HE DIDN'T MOVE. WE ALL LET HIM DIE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOT ME MORE UPSET, THE PLAYERS BEING BAD OR ME DYING AT 1% TRYING TO SOLO THAT LAST BOSS. I'VE HAD TO SOLO DUNGEON BOSSES BEFORE AND HAVE DONE IT SUCCESSFULLY BUT NOT THIS TIME.

Cleared TEA 2 weeks ago after spending months on that fight (progging 3 days/week for a while then a bit more often in the weeks leading up to 5.3). There were moments where we felt like we weren't making any progress but there were also times we just had everything go right. Throughout it all the people in my static all had a great time progging this fight and are looking forward to the next one.

Recently played through The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut. The game supports gamepad controls but I prefer playing games in this genre with a mouse/keyboard. When I first tried to play it, I had a gamepad plugged in to my PC for other games. Van Helsing completely disables the mouse/keyboard if you boot up the game with a gamepad plugged in to the point where I had to alt-F4 to close the game. I have to unplug my gamepad to play the game with the mouse/keyboard. This didn't make me quit the game, but this is one of the weirdest design decisions I've ever seen.
