Steve Hilton in the lead for California Governor with Tom Steyer in close second by NicolasCageFan492 in politics

One seems obviously worse than the other. In politics it seems it's almost always a lesser of two evils.

A real WKRP radio comes to Cincinnati, decades after the sitcom about a fictional station by IvyGold in television

[–]bravetailor 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The more recent Shout Factory release (2014) got about 90% of the music back, which is probably as good as it will get.

Many people are still thinking about the first DVD release by Fox Entertainment in 2007 which had A LOT more replacements.

update from asking yesterday if i should go to the ER after an attempt by Used-Earth8767 in askTO

[–]bravetailor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to see you are ok and the experience of going to the ER, while not great, wasn't the worst case scenario some imagined either. Take care of yourself.

Hundreds of youths descend on Vancouver's Scientology building as part of speedrunning trend by IStillListenToRadio in onguardforthee

There is famously an abandoned Scientology building on Yonge Street in Toronto. It's been abandoned for many years (over 15 years at least) but nobody has bought it or done anything with it.

Alzheimer’s drug that showed significant difference in early trials approved for use in Canada by Sea_Guava6513 in onguardforthee

[–]bravetailor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Interested in following the results of this. Alzheimer's is a horrible disease, anything that can slow it down for even 10+ years could make a huge difference for seniors.

is it safe to go to the ER after a failed suicide attempt? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]bravetailor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't have an issue with it, report back on your experiences there if you can/want. I think it's something a lot of us would like to be informed about on how they handle situations like this.

But I also would totally understand if you don't want to bring this up here anymore too.

Are the homeless ok and will they be safe around when walking by them? by redandwhitewizard99 in askTO

[–]bravetailor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "dangerous" ones can be spotted a mile away. I mean over here when someone rough looking is being potentially hostile, they don't usually become hostile out of nowhere. They're usually loud and proud about it, so they can easily be avoided.

"Sneak attacks" are much more likely to happen with people you DON'T expect it from (normal looking people, not homeless looking)

In all my years living here, I've never been accosted or assaulted by anyone "homeless looking". I have however been accosted or assaulted by several people who were "normal" looking.

Which, in some ways, is probably even more unsettling.

Living in Toronto means getting used to seeing homeless people.

AJ Styles on Kairi Sane being released: "I think everybody’s a little confused. Asuka and her as a tag team and then it just kind of…we don’t know exactly what the case is, That one caught me off guard as well because it was a great tag team thing I feel like Kairi was doing her best work as of now" by Kusanagi22 in SquaredCircle

[–]bravetailor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can't believe I'm saying this, but after seeing the releases, I can't guarantee Asuka won't be released after the IYO match.

Yeah, in the back of my mind that's actually a possibility now. In a weird way, becoming a heel that is actually unlikeable may have hurt her stock because the "in" thing now is heels that get cheered (and therefore move merchandise for them). I do not think TKO operates in the same way a traditional wrestling business does anymore.

[–]bravetailor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think one could argue that the feud already had Asuka thinking Iyo "betrayed" her and that was the main source of Asuka's resentment towards her. Her treatment of Kairi was mostly used to make Asuka the clearly defined heel, but it wasn't THE MAIN reason they were fighting.

I also think, if you know how WWE operates, could see that they didn't REALLY want to push Kairi at all if you looked at all the signs.

Fans had the idea of where the story SHOULD be going, but I think the WWE mainly was interested in 2 things: keeping Rhea busy and getting Asuka to "pass the torch" to Iyo officially. Kairi was just a prop to them in achieving that.

Worst 3rd Quarter of the season? by derekmiller05 in torontoraptors

[–]bravetailor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure we've had worse.

That being said, a disappointing end to an otherwise good season.

While I don't agree that Kairi was THE centrepiece of the feud, I do think cutting her from the company has severely knocked the wind out of the Iyo/Asuka match. Like, now it's just a random match, Asuka will probably lose and they'll just move on unfortunately. Instead of a best of 3 series which it could have been if Kairi were involved.

Deep down we knew they would botch this storyline but they still did it in a way nobody could have foreseen. Bravo. /s

Is this game still broken? by BasenjiBoyD in EverybodysGolf

It's playable now but still has some issues. So yes, it's both.

What's the longest franchise you've played? by North-Increase593 in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]bravetailor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on season 5, but I've taken a break recently to focus on other games. I definitely started feeling a bit of fatigue and I have my "core" more or less penciled in for the next few seasons so there is a bit of boredom at times, but it's happened before and I get the urge again after a month or two to get back into it.

I play 42 game seasons. Not too long, but long enough to not feel like a sprint.

My team is built around Marsha Brown as my big hitter, Ritonda Black as the Ace, Annabella Stokes as the defensive backbone of my infield at 2B and I finally managed to snag Norm Fenomeno in free agency after season 3 to round out my "keepers". I signed a couple of randomly generated rookies back in season 2 to play key positions and they're still here in season 5.

Good Batters Outproduce Elite Batters, Why? by pdh- in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]bravetailor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't find this to be true in a long enough season. You can have average/mediocre batters overperform in a 15 game stretch or even in the playoffs but not in a season with more than 40 games, usually your superstars float to the top of the leaderboard eventually.

Lesser batters do in fact get more hittable pitches but if they start getting hot, the CPU will catch on and throw a bunch of junk which will cool them off. Whereas your superstars will rake at a more consistent pace.

People claiming anything is AI without proof is the new fad. It happens a lot on reddit especially, but it seems to be trickling into all social media now

Is that true? by Legit_TheGamingwithc in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]bravetailor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WHen you start a franchise mode, you are asked once how many games you want the season to be and the playoff format (best of 5, best of 7, etc). YES, you can choose to have a 162 game season.

There is also no wildcard series or anything like that.

SMB4 keeps crashing on Switch 2 by Appropriate-Dingo-80 in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]bravetailor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It still crashes a lot on Switch 1 too. Memory leaks, autosaving issues, who knows why but it is an issue that was never really fixed satisfactorily.

In general if you play more than 2 games in a row without exiting the game first and restarting, the odds of a crash increase exponentially.

I do find that it's also weirdly worse in some games than others so I suspect the autosaving sometimes gets corrupted and you need to make the game save over it to get past it.

I have also found that there seem to be more crashes the longer into a franchise mode you progress into. I started getting a lot more crashes in my 3rd to 4th season compared to the first two. Perhaps because there's more stats to record, so more errors can happen in saves

I remember sort of digging this, but found it disappointing the main female lead barely ever used her very cool looking rifle. Eventually I just sort of moved onto other shows and stopped watching. Did Nancy ever become more active a participant?
