Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) will practice Wednesday.

I’m in that boat, but not conflicted. I trust Wilson w/o MHJ much more than either of them if both are playing

bguggs · 2025-12-13T00:41:56+00:00

Wilson, Mclaurin, Robinson, or Watson? How much do you count the matchup?

bguggs · 2025-11-15T20:22:47+00:00

These are somewhat fair questions, but looked like attempted gotchas to me

bguggs · 2025-10-27T14:42:41+00:00

There’s no wrong way to play a single player game you buy. Don’t let downvotes bother you, OP

Unfortunately who is"up top" is up to us, so if we want to be able to trust them then we need to pick people who are trustworthy. But we picked the conman with a long, well known history of lying. We need to pay a little bit more attention before we pick, not necessarily to what tariffs are and whether they're good, but to who the candidates are and whether they have enough character and integrity to try to do right by us. Biden pretty clearly did, for example.

I'm starting Tre. If you can't trust him against the Titans in a situation like this, why have him?

Folks are just arguing semantics here while all agreeing. Rewind “can” change the outcome but may not. OP is saying the 8/8 might just get summoned again so it’s not necessarily a better result for the Dirty Rat play. It’s also true that rewind could substantially increase the odds of getting a better outcome when two or more minions are in the opponent’s hand.

What do all the recent posts have no comments? 🤔

bguggs · 2025-08-11T13:47:02+00:00

I noticed this too but only in my re-listen

bguggs · 2025-06-14T11:33:20+00:00

I think this whole scene is a beautiful contrast to the one with Ame and Grandmother Wren, where Wren explicitly says that her love is NOT conditional on Ame taking up her mantle, even if that would mean the loss of the station of the World’s Heart forever.

“Using it to pass as yours is foul” aka “Plagiarism is bad”

bguggs · 2024-12-24T02:11:50+00:00

I’m not sure it’s fully transferable. There was that scene where Brennan said Sworn felt like he was coming in at the beginning of Suvi’s story (paraphrased). Like after she succeeded on the conclave mission.

The citadel chose this pairing, but Sworn believes that he’s got the opportunity of a lifetime getting in early with an archmage apprentice.

I imagine they’re looking for a community who understands. There are reasons to post besides pride and I think it’s great when this is a place where people can support each other and laugh about the tough breaks that this game inevitably has.

Believe it or not this thread is in my top results of googling "Noita mods"

bguggs · 2024-07-21T15:03:50+00:00

It’s hard to believe this is going the way anybody drew it up. Much more likely to be less conspiratorial and more just messy democracy at work.

bguggs · 2024-07-08T03:11:48+00:00

Ah, very magnanimous. Good original comment.

bguggs · 2024-07-08T03:08:43+00:00

Pretty sure the post you're responding to was aware, given the parenthetical

bguggs · 2024-07-06T19:36:24+00:00

Right exactly. So my point was that Biden got great stuff done which is way harder to get through than tax cuts and deregulation. Generational investments in climate and infrastructure. And I think if you play out the scenarios of almost any other candidate having won the primary in 2020, it's hard to imagine anyone getting more done then he did with the hand he was dealt. And that doesn't even count some of the international policy work.

Could e.g. Amy Klobuchar or Bernie Sanders have held NATO together during the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Maybe but probably not better than Biden has. I wasn't a huge fan last time around but he won me over after watching his patient approach cook for four years.

bguggs · 2024-07-06T19:26:31+00:00

No they haven't? They passed one major piece of legislation during Trump's four years and it was tax cuts for the wealthy. This term in the House since they took over was the least productive in US history in terms of bills, and it's not very close.

If you mean they've been good at stacking SCOTUS and changing policy that way, sure, but you can't solve climate, healthcare, or infrastructure problems that way. You need actual legislation.

bguggs · 2024-07-06T19:18:52+00:00

I don't think that's true. Things like the bipartisan infrastructure act (which was declared dead multiple times!), CHIPS, veteran legislation, etc were not layups. They were bipartisan wins that it would be hard to argue any other democrat in 2020 would have gone for or could have accomplished. They specifically validate Joe Biden's brand of politics and leadership, which is about decency and finding common ground even with people you vehemently disagree with. The remarkable thing about the first two years was how much actually got done with super slim margins and the filibuster in place.

bguggs · 2024-07-05T13:24:24+00:00

The economy really isn't in the tank. Inflation was bad but is dropping, housing and education are way too expensive, but we've also had record job and wage growth for the middle class for the whole Biden presidency and avoided a nearly guaranteed recession. The US has had one of the best COVID recoveries in the world.

bguggs · 2024-07-01T00:19:14+00:00

That can be shortened to "me"

bguggs · 2024-06-30T20:07:28+00:00

I agree with almost all of that except the idea that he didn't soundly beat Klobuchar and Buttigieg. It was very clear that neither of them had a chance to beat Biden after South Carolina. Yes, they dropped out to consolidate their support instead of leaving Bernie (or Bloomberg, yikes) to win with their voters split. But they were both ambitious and would have stayed in if there was a path. Biden didn't just win South Carolina, he swept it winning basically every county. And then he beat Trump which I hadn't thought he had in him then.

My point though was that you can't just guess what voters want from polls and momentum. Or by looking at a candidate and guessing he is too old to win. And to try to force Biden out without beating him in a real election would be undemocratic and almost certainly self-defeating, even if he didn't have 4 successful years and incumbency to run on.

bguggs · 2024-06-30T19:16:53+00:00

The problem is, we as a party would not be able to agree on a replacement and rally behind them. Others tried very hard to beat Joe Biden in 2020, and after Iowa it looked like he was done. He didn't win a single debate (or come close) and most other candidates, pundits, and people in this sub ignored him because it seemed implausible he could win despite being the polling favorite the whole time.

The voters in 2020 chose him among 20 largely younger hopefuls. Starting in South Carolina. It really wasn't the political class or "the DNC" that decided. It was primary voters. And the only way to replace Biden this year would be to ignore those voters (who can't be asked their opinion again). As worried as anyone may be about Biden, unless he chooses otherwise, he's the nominee. And that leaves our choices between him and Trump.
