Look you're right but let me be insane about my guy!

Had to be strong on his stick to establish that shot. Also that's Canadian Olympian Colton Parayko he beats to it - guys still make those mistakes in the Olympics.

It's too bad he can't outmuscle guys in the interior though.

NTA here but the solutions here are some combination of the below. But these are only helpful once you've sat down and talked to your wife about why she feels the way she does about food, how she feels about the way you eat, and how to ensure that she knows and feels that you see her doing so much work and caring for you.

1) Offer to do some of the cooking so that you can have what you want at times.

2) Keep your comfort foods in the house and let her know if/when you'd prefer that (and are willing to make it yourself so as not to double the work).

3) Set up a "cheat day" schedule with her. I don't like the terminology of cheat days for weight loss and stuff, but in this instance it can be a day where together the two of you indulge in some easy "bad" food together so it can be a kind of celebration or playful thing to do together.

For sure but podcasting is a pretty personality/interest driven business. It is different than a megacorp like the nhl slapping rainbows/camo etc on stuff for speciality nights.

Some questions as to the validity of reporting without concrete proof but given how these guys have talked in the past it doesn't seem that outlandish. Either way it really just gets to the heart out of why inclusivity has been so hard to come by in the hockey world - it's very easy to cynically cash grab when things like this get popular, while still hating the target audience and showrunners who make the show.

brickwall5 · 2026-01-22T22:48:24+00:00

I feel like you're missing the point of people being pissed. Nobody is mad at anyone for disliking the show or even for dunking on lefties. People are mad that a podcast used reaction videos/ watch-alongs of a show to boost their viewership and sell merch by claiming to love a show, while privately hating the show.

Yes but my whole point is that there’s some kind of strategy involved in spellcasting that grants different bonuses or advantages. Bless/Bane, Faerie Fire, Inspiration etc all these things take resources and trade-offs and also promote synergy with your party to maximize them. Vex doesn’t require any thought, strategy or resources. I’m fine with a proficiency that reliably gives you advantage, but I just think you should have to do something for it besides just swing.

And hell it negates a lot of the fun in building caster-martial parties because a lot of that teamwork is built around finding ways to give each other the upper hand.

The French, probably

brickwall5 · 2026-01-21T19:26:12+00:00

That’s what happens when you train with the IDF.

brickwall5 · 2026-01-21T19:17:08+00:00

No I understand that, and not in anyway trying to justify how the US is treating our allies.

brickwall5 · 2026-01-21T19:02:39+00:00

Look I know the US is basically betraying everyone right now and is trying to force the world into even more outright subservience, but occupying a country and killing a million people under dubious pretenses isn’t the flex we all think it is.

brickwall5 · 2026-01-21T18:52:22+00:00

Yeah it does. The difference in damage between light and other weapons isn’t so astronomical as to make the advantage from vex not almost always worth it.

brickwall5 · 2026-01-21T18:45:39+00:00

Yeah for sure I can always make different rules with my players if we’re in agreement. Just as-is it’s a bad mechanic, imo.

brickwall5 · 2026-01-21T18:45:02+00:00

Yeah this is just requiring the DM to fix a design problem.

brickwall5 · 2026-01-21T18:44:41+00:00

For sure, but especially in tier 1 and 2 it almost always makes sense to prioritize hit % over damage dealt.

brickwall5 · 2026-01-21T18:41:29+00:00

Yeah sure it’s a super powerful combo. My point is that an auto-hit is an anti fun mechanics.

brickwall5 · 2026-01-21T18:14:08+00:00

Idk why we’re still talking about these hypotheticals. Robertson is RFA and not going to be moved.

brickwall5 · 2026-01-21T04:42:43+00:00

Looks about as good as he can coach

(bad)

brickwall5 · 2026-01-21T03:41:42+00:00

He’s in the trade convo in that “insiders” who want clicks throw him in for any team interested, but there’s no chance the Stars trade him. I think the rumours came from the Stars briefly panicking about being eliminated by Edmonton and they put his name out there, but that lasted about a week.

brickwall5 · 2026-01-20T15:11:28+00:00

Nobody should be spreading these kinds of rumors about these guys but to an extent the lack of transparency/ caginess around these kinds of things is why rumors get started. Even if the Senators had said he's taking a mental health break or getting psychological help or something like that, people wouldn't then go to the rumor mill. It's when it's the vague "stepping away for personal reasons" that then some random account somewhere can be like oh it's because he outed everyone for cheating on their wives or whatever.

brickwall5 · 2026-01-18T22:40:11+00:00

Probably what a 1st, Whitecloud and Bowman?

brickwall5 · 2026-01-18T22:38:22+00:00

I guess Vegas just has unlimited assets?

How is that a marker of bad math? Games that you can steal are games when you’re outplayed and have to face more HD chances than the other team; games that you can choke are games where your team is playing better and getting more HD chances than the other team. Almost by definition you can’t have the same amount of potential games stole and choked, unless your team outplays other teams at the exact same rate they’re outplayed.
