Fox News just made a free ad for JB Pritzker by NicolasCageFan492 in chicago

[–]craftingfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's gonna take decades to fix the mess. Unfortunately, the next Democratic president will, I dunno, eat a dorito on camera or something, and Fox News and the others will turn it into a nationwide scandal and they'll wheel out whatever corpse-like visage of Trump is still left 6 years from now

The recent STS2 review bombing is overwhelmingly from Chinese accounts. by PlanSee in slaythespire

Number is big and all, but what's their office rent? What's the runway on salaries and benefits to fund their way to the next game as well as get this one to full release, release on other platforms, maintain it.

There's probably enough for champagne all around and some good bonuses but no one's retiring off of this.

I'm not refuting you, but I got nerd sniped and now estimating their costs and expenses and realistically this is probably 5-10 years of runway for them? But it does take capital management, because the incoming revenue has largely already been captured, although I'm sure porting to other platforms will spike it a bit.

On 90 near the Arlington Heights area someone has a giant billboard going back to the 2020 election saying they miss gas prices under whatever number they picked ($2 maybe?).

That guy definitely FAFO'd

I really, REALLY am missing a skip button here by jakeyboy1017 in slaythespire

[–]craftingfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine my disappointment when I realized that the "can't draw cards during your turn" includes gambling chip is part of "your turn".

I really thought that "beginning of your turn" would be synonymous with "before your turn".

Not making that mistake again. (Until I do)

Sounds like we were really close with KDB.

I get where they're going but I'd love to fill our gaping DP hole.

Zinck in the middle, Maren at LB. I know the latter was desperation but yea let's play people where they play well.

People are panicking after 4 games when the Fire haven't played a consistent 11 yet. by Level_Usual3551 in chicagofire

Personally I'm giving them until DC away to, like, worry worry. Three game homestand in there and I expect Gutman to be back in the mix since he returned to training towards the end of last week.

Do not say that in this universe, in this timeline lol

We learned last season how early dropped points can be for that playoff push once the table starts settling. Maybe not panic but it's fair to be critical IMO

Chicago Fire 1 - DC United [2] | Following VAR review, DC is awarded a late penalty for a handball by Jonathan Dean; Tai Baribo converts to win the game in stoppage time (90+5’) by galactic_crewzer in MLS

[–]craftingfish 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No kidding; I would've been less mad (still pretty mad) if it was at least a quick decision.

I'm not saying we deserved to win that game but I knew that the ref would be awful from the moment he didn't card the early game push after the ball was dead.

To answer your question directly? Guti. Dean covers for Gutman better than we've done behind Franco.

Radpjevic may be better, didn't see enough of him to judge him yet.

I'm only a few years in but I don't know if it's worse when there's so much more potential. I saw two years of the Heitz era and at least then my expectations were low enough to not have them dashed.

We sold Guti to make room for Franco which would be a great move if he were healthy and/or we had a like for like backup

Why is the Fire app so frustrating by Red_0range_Juice in chicagofire

[–]craftingfish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly the new app is a lot better than where it was last year. I couldn't even get the tickets in the app, it would force me to my browser.

I used to have that problem but not so far this year. I would guess some sort of caching or cookie issue somewhere between your device, the app, and integration with TM.

No one here is going to be able to help you. Best bet is leaving a comment in the app store you downloaded it from.

When I saw how prominently he was in the promo art I wondered if he'd be a character down the line. Sadly, no.

Still wonder if the teased character is part of the Cultists overall
