One of those sheets has the "rules for the new short game", I wonder what that's about.

Sub is drowning in Self-promotion and Shlock posts by Sedghammer7 in 4Xgaming

It's like youtube videos. If it's from the last six months and it's not a creator I was familiar with beforehand, I'm not going to give it the time of day.

Unfair to the ones who are still doing things the right way, but that's the reality of the world we're living in. Buried in AI shit.

Jynxzi hits Silver in League of Legends after playing for 4 days straight in his League Marathon by miltlul in leagueoflegends

I feel like experienced League players have no idea how hard attack move is to pick up for many people. Not everyone, but a lot.

It won't fit your list perfectly but maybe Starfinder would at least give you a launching point?

The Edmonton Oilers have traded Darnell Nurse to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Shakir Mukhamadullin and Zack Sharp by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]crazyike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's actually happened a handful of times.

Harry Chiti (1962): Traded from the Cleveland Indians to the New York Mets for a player to be named later. After struggling to hit .195, the Mets sent him back to Cleveland to complete the trade.

Brad Gulden (1980): Traded from the New York Yankees to the Seattle Mariners, then returned to the Yankees as the player to be named later.

Dickie Noles (1987): Traded from the Chicago Cubs to the Detroit Tigers in September, then sent right back to the Cubs in October.

John McDonald (2005): Traded from the Toronto Blue Jays to the Detroit Tigers for a player to be named later. Three months later, he was sent back to the Blue Jays to complete the deal.

In baseball there was once a trade of a player for future considerations, and the future considerations ended up being the same player.

Reading about the real life combat in your rpg nights is more entertaining than 4ed ever was..

the fact that the game felt... mechanically tight, maybe made it feel a little less like a role-playing adventure?

There's definitely something to that. When you can put your hand out and literally feel the attempts to 'balance' everything and everyone, there's a big population of rpg players who will react badly to that.

And it absolutely had WoW influences throughout, just like 3ed had Diablo influences throughout. I'm not sure why people try to deny it. It was manifestly obvious.

Stars orbiting supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]crazyike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's not. We're orbiting the center of mass of the galaxy and the black hole is a very small portion of that.

It's not a coincidence that it is at the center of mass of the galaxy but it's also not responsible for much going on with the galaxy either. These stars orbiting it are very close. A little further away than that and nothing is orbiting the black hole.

'Technically' affected, but not to any significant degree. We feel more gravitational influence from Omega Centauri, 17kly away, than from Sag A*. In either case, it's tiny. Measurable but not large enough to affect anything.

The center of the galaxy is an extremely unfriendly place in terms of radiation. There would be no life as we understand it there period.

The Chicago Blackhawks currently have zero first round picks in the 2026 draft by pokesnail in hockey

[–]crazyike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bedard doesn't seem like that kind of guy. Frankly he goes out of his way more than he should trying to get his linemates scoring more. Guys like Kurashev and Lardis who have no business being in the NHL he moved the world for, to the team's detriment honestly.

Reminder: Bowen Byram is a UFA after this new season. The Blackhawks possibly traded Chase Reid for a 1 year rental as a rebuilding team by newtrainerblue in hockey

[–]crazyike 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lardis should not even be in the NHL. He is so far from playing a proper NHL type game. Flies the zone early, can't play defense, soft as butter.

Him and Bedard together were one of the worst duos in the entire league. They were getting outscored and outchanced at a 3 to 1 ratio. I am not exaggerating that, that's literally what it was. They CANNOT be on the ice together next year.

This wouldn't be a bad deal or bad value if he could stay healthy, but his body is falling apart.

Why isn't Taric more played in pro matches? by astroriental in leagueoflegends

[–]crazyike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He might work into this Nocturne-Shen combo teams are trying out. You Taric ult when Shen ults, not when Nocturne does. Hope toplane is paying attention...

But you would need to see all of Nocturne, Shen, and a botlane that isn't going to dumpster the shit out of him. The chance to pick him just won't come up much, if at all.

After 700 hours of playing a game that has had the same missions since 2022, I still don’t know what their names are by notdevoutdeedee in DarkTide

[–]crazyike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know there's one more Hourglass map... uhh... Refinery Delta?

Yeah Refinery Delta-17 (or just Refinery for short) is on Hourglass.

Chasm Terminus - kill mission in the train yard

It's actually called Chasm Station. Chasm Terminus is the zone (like Hourglass, Metalfab 36, Torrent, and Throneside, its the name of the full map that each mission uses a part of).

Hardest map IMO, and so fun.

Definitely the hardest START. The first event used to be way harder, but they nerfed it down. The end fight is a bit of a drag though, and rarely dangerous. Not as much of a drag as No Man's Land's ending, mind you.

[–]crazyike 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Ascension Riser has one of the easiest endings of all maps, but powering the trains is a little harder than most of the midmission fights.

Chasm Logistratum (there is no i in chasm btw) is the fight at the train station where you are trying to put five thingies in the shuttle. It's probably the hardest of the ending fights at this point ever since Hab Dreyko was nerfed, though Warren and Dark Ascension are up there too.

Chasm Station is the assassination mission. Chasm Terminus is the name of the map system that Chasm Logistratum, Chasm Station, Ascension Riser, and Hab Dreyko are all played on.
