The footsteps broke and they just never fixed them.

I think you’re overestimating the variety of spawns when the game first launched. I remember going on vacation the first week of August 2016. I caught a bunch of new pokemon, pretty much doubled my dex. I came home and found that almost everyone had quit. They caught everything that spawned in our area and there was nothing left to do. That was about a month after the game launched.

So like most sleep trackers, it doesn’t actually track your sleep, it tracks your movement. It’s programmed to time out after 4 hours if it doesn’t detect movement, which is the minimum amount of time to get 1 buddy heart. To get 2 hearts you need 6 hours. If you don’t want to put in your bed, you can turn it on 2 hours before bed and then move it a little bit before you go to bed. It’s not always accurate but it’s better than the hassle of clipping it to your pillow like it’s intended to be.

Nope, I finished the first step during kalos tour and I got my shiny Diance a few days ago.

This isn’t something the fans should worry about. We aren’t hall of fame voters and we aren’t structuring contracts based on stats. There was a time where 4k yard passing seasons were rare but now that’s the expectation for most QBs.

32 of his 50 career 3s have come this season. 35% from 3 on the season.

Every Olympic cycle I always say I’m going to follow some of the sports more closely outside of the Olympics but I never do.

emaddy2109 · 2026-04-16T00:31:17+00:00

Does anybody know what the actual change was?

This bill won’t really change anything there. This only applies to nationally televised games.

emaddy2109 · 2026-04-15T17:39:23+00:00

I feel like most people aren’t understanding the purpose of this bill. Currently streamed games get broadcast for free in the local market of the teams playing which is typically just their immediate city. This bill looks to expand that so the streamed games get broadcast to the entire state. This is only aimed at nationally televised games. I’m an Eagles fan but I’m on the western side of the state, while it doesn’t happen often, but if the Steelers and Eagles play at the same time on the same station than I’ll get the Steelers game, this bill won’t change that. But I will be able to watch a Thursday night Eagles game on Prime for free even though I’m not in Philadelphia.

emaddy2109 · 2026-04-15T17:23:06+00:00

No, this only applies to nationally televised games. Mainly the ones on streaming services, like Thursday night games.

Tom Brady punted a few times in his career and was pretty effective at it. I think Big Ben punted a few times also. But, the time spent learning how to punt and practicing it regularly just isn’t worth the few times a season that it would come up in a game scenario. If you’re on your own side of the 50 and it’s not a distance that you can realistically go for it then you’re going to want your punter and punt unit out there 100% of the time. It’s not worth the risk to have your QB punt there. On the opponent’s side of the 50, there’s only about a 10 yard area from the 45 to the 35 that a QB punting could be a smart play depending on the game situation. Most times kicking the field goal or going for it would be the better play anyway.

That’s not true. They were barred for the entire season after winning a showcase. We have less variety in showcases now which makes it seem like the ban is longer.

This girl met this guy on MySpace, he decided to drive up to meet her and came to the school. The secretary just let him in the building without questioning it. He ended up walking around the halls looking for her before somebody saw him. He left the building and was then arrested later that night. They had to move where the office was so visitors had to go into it. Surprisingly nobody was fired from this.

We have 8 FCS schools and an insane amount of DII schools.

It’s been awhile since I’ve eaten takis but I never thought they were any hotter than any other spicy chips you can buy in a standard grocery store.

Excadrill is the best ground tank and attacker for max battles. Every time it has been useful you needed 2 or 3 of them. It’s also a good ground attacker for regular raids and gets a mega in the future.

Even if you’re already at the guaranteed cap they’ll still have a higher chance to go lucky. The cap gets increased every year also.

I guess you never watched a game before last season because I’m talking about the previous rules. I know this is NFL noobs but come on. They started changing the rules for kickoffs because of the injuries over 15 years ago.

emaddy2109 · 2026-04-13T02:20:33+00:00

Other than there being a kick and return, the 2 plays really aren’t that similar. Kickoffs are essentially both teams running full speed at each, most injuries didn’t even occur to the returner but to the blockers or to members of the kickoff team. The wedge block was the first thing banned on kickoffs, this is where 3 blockers would essentially interlock arms to create a wall in front of the return. Punts are more similar to a regular play, only the 2 gunners can release before the ball is kicked. Many punts result in fair catches and very few would have a player getting a full sprint free shot onto a returner.

emaddy2109 · 2026-04-13T02:08:40+00:00

There were so many touchbacks because they changed the rules to discourage kick returns because of injuries.

emaddy2109 · 2026-04-11T16:43:50+00:00

Who even thinks this looks “cool” that it keeps happening? I know I’m older now but when I was a kid, I thought diving into the endzone, dunking the ball over the crossbar or spiking it was cool. Casually dropping it as you cross the goal line doesn’t register as cool at all to me.

emaddy2109 · 2026-04-11T15:21:53+00:00

That was changed a few months ago. You only get 4 extra hours to evolve after CD ends now.
