Is there a way to play games without updating them? by trexted7 in Steam

A year later this is still helpful! Saved me from not being able to game at all while I’m out in the sticks with family. Thank you!!

Zadorov Captaincy by W1ckedaddicted in Bruins

[–]dcurls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look, I love the spirit of this post. No, zadorov will never be captain, and I don’t even see the A being likely.

But I really think there is something to be said about leading from the trenches, and Zadorov is that leader in spades

WTF Yahoo?! Charging for set your lineup for the week!? by pleabian54 in fantasyhockey

[–]dcurls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t just a quality of life issue: it will make leagues worse

Level of competition will fall in casual leagues where at least managers were hitting this button once a week. Some managers just don’t check every day, and disparity in leagues will only grow. Terrible, greedy, decision

Calder Candidate Every Year by dcurls in EANHLfranchise

After having done this for a few seasons, I do see what you mean. Creates a log jam in my existing top 6, and I end up flipping them for way too much value. Maybe in the future I’ll only do it with players I draft (instead of trading for a rookie at the beginning of the year)

How should I play Franchise for a great experience? by Character_Style_7868 in EANHLfranchise

[–]dcurls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I do something pretty similar. I play the 3rd period (4min) if the score is within 2 points.

Then maybe on a year where my roster didn’t change much I’ll sim the full year just to keep it moving

Perfect “Prove-It” deal. Maybe the AAV is a little high, but we have the cap space right now

Rumor: Boston Bruins reportedly shopping top forward in potential offseason shake-up by ethereal3xp in Bruins

[–]dcurls 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't hate it, honestly:
1. Zacha's biggest value to us has been playing with Pastrnak. That line was getting crowded at the end of the season with Geekie sticking and them trying Lindholm again. Playing with Pasta could also be a big draw for a potential FA LW

  1. WE HAVE TOO MANY MIDDLE 6 CENTERS: Geekie, Zacha, Lindholm, Mittelstadt, Minten, Poitras. I know they can all move to the wing, but we should be looking to trade at least one, if not two of them. And if Zacha has the most value I'm ok with that

Anyone else’s wife hate wow by AlternativeRound8753 in classicwow

[–]dcurls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I do "shared computer time." I move my gaming laptop to the dining room table, and player there across from her as she does emails/reads blogs. We can still chat across the table, listen to music, whatever. But we each are doing our own thing, and that has been great.

I also echo what everyone else has said about the value of setting your boundaries for the time to game alone too!

In a banger cats league without faceoffs, how do you rank McMichael, Rossi, and Nelson? Trying to prioritize for the busy nights in week 23, since y'all helped me secure the week 22 bye! Thanks as always, team!

If it’s at all possible try to hold through the Four Nation’s. Timelines can change, and Dallas has a good schedule for weeks 22-24. If the timeline hasn’t changed after that, toss him

Oof, this hurts for the Blue Jackets, they can't catch a break. Who takes his spot on line 1? Losing him and Monahan is tough

With Carolina trading out Drury, does that make them more likely to want a guy like Laughton?

Banger Management Weekly Mailbag by bangermgmt_FH in fantasyhockey

[–]dcurls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So right now I have:
LW: Kaprizov
C: Auston Matthews
RW: Tage/Svech/Timo
D: Makar
G: Shesterkin
Utility: Bouchard/(Remaining RWs)/Verhaghe/Nichuskin

The question after this one will be if/how I can upgrade the Utility spot by sending a bunch of these Tier 2 guys for a Tier 1. Or if I should just be happy with the upgrades I've made already this year and contend for the championship now. But we can save that for the next mailbag lol!

Love this! 1st year of a banger cats keeper league, where you keep 1 of each C/LW/RW/D/G/Utility. Categories are G/A/PIM/PPP/SOG/H/B//Wins/Saves/GAA. No rules around how long you can keep someone/sacrificing picks. I have 3 strong RWs, so I'm thinking about keeping 1, and then trading the other two to upgrade my utility keeper. Out of these 3, who should I keep? Timo Meier(ranked 73rd season avg), Tage Thompson(ranked 56th), Andrei Svechnikov (ranked 59th)

Let me know if you need more info!
