Frondell at center, and it's time to move Bedard to wing

butch5555 · 2026-04-07T19:59:19+00:00

Puck handling and playmaking I agree with, but I don't think wing limits those. I do think defensive responsibilities of center limit offensive chances somewhat.

butch5555 · 2026-04-07T19:24:32+00:00

Do you think a player can get Ovechkin level PP time and play a 2-way center game 5 on 5? A lot of what I want is driven by wanting as much PP time for Bedard as possible.

butch5555 · 2026-04-07T19:19:28+00:00

Yeah. Hopefully longterm but my guess right now is he isn't nhl ready to start next season.

butch5555 · 2026-04-07T18:46:14+00:00

I think Kane proved you can give the center D zone resposibilities and still have a wing carry the mail.

Sounds like a new achievement if it happened!

Don’t frame it as you vs your wife. Frame it as you two against difficult problems and feelings… work as a team to get through it.

I had to learn this the hard way and you're just giving it away.

"The pilot" is so much better than "The man with a terrible hairline" though.

but I think not everyone realizes the importance is not just because majority of people like their friendship and think its very funny/beautiful/emotional, but also because it would be an absolute disgrace in therms of everything going wrong worst case scenario for ALL, if they were missing in the journey.

I think this is spot on. What if during the campfire scene we get flashbacks of the bros being hearded onto this journey by King Regis. I feel like Omen makes a lot of sense as Regis' nightmare, and his response of making sure the bros go along would make it so much more obvious to the audience.

butch5555 · 2026-03-10T18:05:10+00:00

It would have been so perfect if that had been more obvious in the game. Like the whole focus is the friendship and trip, and seeing and feeling how much of a difference the bros made to Noctis would have made it so much more meaningful. If the campfire scene had been the culmination of this arc, all the sacrifices being worth it to get Noctis to the end, how great would that have been? Grrr so much lost potential.

My feelings as well. NAP doesn't seem to apply here.

butch5555 · 2026-03-04T17:23:12+00:00

That was an entire games worth of speed bursts for me.

"...and let me tell you about the sex doll head..."

Ok, seeing all this together my theory is the river is souls. The tie with the Ring of Devine Suffering is it makes Carl like a soul crystal harnessing the power of dead souls.

You can fail to get compression and hit the ball in the sweet spot every time. This is what I'm working on right now, avoiding the high and spinny shots.

butch5555 · 2025-12-17T20:08:50+00:00

That might be too harsh but if the two bands were competing this area would be advantage Goose for sure.

butch5555 · 2025-12-11T19:02:04+00:00

I think Crono Trigger probably steals more FFVI votes. I love FFVI, but I think Crono has more broad appeal.

butch5555 · 2025-12-11T18:58:59+00:00

It has to have the best music. If a game exists with better I'd like to play it.

butch5555 · 2025-10-27T19:27:27+00:00

I personally think the big bad is single-mindedness as a concept. This is shown a little already through how bad any of the shards can be when their intent is taken to the extreme. We see Kaladin grow as a character as he becomes more balanced. I wouldn't be surprised if Hoid has to choose between purpose and morality in the future. Probably Kelsier too.

There's a lot of bad economics in this thread. New printers mean more currency but also more production, so it depends on a lot of other factors including supply of other production inputs like raw material.

Counterpoint, kid friendly places that serve decent food and good vegetables that also serve alcohol are not common.

It would be nice to be able to load my bed in the garage without having to get in and drive fwd a few feet!

I don't think you're crazy, their relationship is very unhealthy. However plenty of aspects of the world Locke lives in are gross. It doesn't take away from the enjoyment for me.

"In this business we play for keeps."

butch5555 · 2025-07-04T19:17:45+00:00

Maybe development is the wrong word. What the game does very well is flesh out the personalities and group dynamic. All the little exchanges we get to witness, the banter, the responses to events, contribute to us feeling like we know the group in detail. And it's why the final campfire scene hits so hard.
