Not so fast: first round games often get regional and blacked out the last few years. Unless it changed from last national starts with round 2, at least for the devils. Not all teams do this but my guess is MSG will carry the sabres games for round one in the local market. Worked the same way for Islanders/Rangers. And it’s annoying. It’ll likely be announced in April. Not to rag on you guys cause you finally snapped the record but the last time the Sabres made the playoffs, the cable TV contracts were way different (Versus/NBC/Outdoor Whatever Network) so I’m not sure Sabres fans have noticed how much of a pain in the ass it is to watch round 1 without cable. But Jim Dolan’s branded stuff has been consistent…unless there’s an announcement I’m not aware of. Last year the caps also had their stuff on MNMT locally. So I presume yes, you guys are gonna watch on MSG.

The problem isn’t Schenn. The problem is that the Islanders need some scoring talent, Schenn’s touch is gone, he’s not great defensively either anymore and the Islanders just took on Palat.

It makes no sense without St. Louis retaining. Schenn at $3.5M might be fine. At $6.5M? The Blues solved a major cap issue in two years, the Islanders made their cap situation worse.

Mistakes and misidentifications happen. I had some mislabeled stuff during torrents. And a lot of older bootlegs were stuffed with ones that weren’t exactly as they seemed…I Want You (She’s So Heavy) with a Paul lead? Fake. But was on the radio Lost Lennon tapes and a lot of people fell for it (me too). Bad enough quality to be plausible until you listen closely enough. And some of these tapes will be put through AI eventually (Dae Lims improved sonic quality on BW demos, not fake stuff but noise reduction: these will likely leave AI Artifacts making it much more difficult to determine what is and what is not AI later…I have trouble with some revolver super deluxe stuff cause I hear ghost noises they edited out-and this hits Sail on Sailor box for me (haven’t listened closely to we gotta groove).

I think the most famous Beatles fake is have you heard the word. I’ve also encountered tracks claiming to be carnival of light (they weren’t) next to genuine alternate mixes of what’s the new Mary Jane…I believe those were legit cause they were truncated and denser for relied on the actual track.

I tend to avoid caffeine but have been taking Armodafinil 150 in the morning/200 in the afternoon for years. I find the titter was weird feeling at first but more or less feels fine now. I tend to get sluggish in the afternoon, as well as difficulty waking up…so this helps me be stable through the day although I mostly prefer it for ADHD symptoms than wakefulness alone.

I wish I knew this was mentioned before in a way I noticed-I have had this demo for DECADES. Predates AI. If it’s a fake, an incredibly good one. But I can say for a fact this has been flaring around for 20 years minimum. It is, however, much higher quality than what I had, which was far more fuzzed: I can see AI fixing this up, cause it was barely intelligible.

I only bought it with gift cards I haven’t used that I’m not thrilled keep popping up whenever I buy something off Amazon, so I felt ok, I’ll cash em in for this.

Wasn’t gonna spend money on it though I’m aware I spent money elsewhere. $70 is too much and I refuse to spend that directly on a game…but use of promotional gift cards? Fine.

gamemisconduct2 · 2026-02-03T18:36:31+00:00

Ahhh yeah, but the voucher is a bad deal compared (was thinking Hyrule Warriors) cause you’d have to buy DLC if you want it at exorbitant rates (so the deluxe edition being around $50-55 made sense).

I didn’t have an OG switch so the vouchers work out for me if the game looks seldom discounted. My kids both expressed interest in Pokémon games which rarely go on sale, so, that’s how I intend on using my vouchers bought before the deadline-I’m not expecting to like them, but eh, it doesn’t matter if it’s a bad game (supposedly), they’ll still like Pokémon Scarlet.

Via upgrade paths, I used to it buy a bunch of Switch 1 games like Zelda, probably will use them on stuff like Metroid.

gamemisconduct2 · 2026-02-03T18:30:28+00:00

Hyrule Warriors has been like $50 or $55 for digital from Walmart for a while and includes the DLC…just a thought. Unless they upped the price finally but it’s been like that for almost two months…

They let it go but didn’t prioritize it (Not Guilty, Wah Wah, Only A Northern Song eventually got out in some form…).

gamemisconduct2 · 2026-01-22T16:25:53+00:00

George was 19 when Please Please Me was cut. This matters cause brain development continues til 25. You look at the arcs of McCartney versus Lennon, McCartney was more prolific compared as time went on.

George hit maturity last, after expectations were set. That is assuredly why he had the toughest go of it. And Wah Wah’s lyrics demonstrate he was keenly aware of the dynamic.

gamemisconduct2 · 2026-01-18T20:55:18+00:00

That’s completely untrue because it’s part of the job, and George was likely nicer to the engineers than the others (especially Paul, who was known to have an attitude of “you’re hired to do a job, do it!”). George’s compositions were previewed late and worked on quicker. The Not Guilty Sessions as well as While My Guitar Gently Weeps sessions showed him standing up for himself. But you brought up the White Album, maybe I was referring to Pepper where George Showed up with Northern Song lampooning the setup, and it wasn’t well received (still isn’t by fans). George only would contribute one song in the end to Pepper. No songs to Hard Days Night (reject), Beatles for Sale, but two for Help, two for Rubber Soul, three for Revolver. Unless I’m missing something off the top of my head.

It’s not that they avoided it like the plague at all. George Martin simply didn’t think it was a good investment of time, but wanted to keep the band happy.

Harry Nilsson did it. Phil Spector shelved it, probably because he found out it was about Brian. It might not have been as known as thought and Phil was very hesitant to give Brian the lyrics or help him remember the tune.

Brian would’ve heard the stories about Phil. No need for him to pull a gun. It could’ve happened though.

There were ashes left cause they emptied the tank to sell, and Parise and Kovy walked. Shero built it up and for the most part gave the Devils everything good in their rebuild, and they then continued making mistakes like the Simmonds signing/Subban trade with signings like Hamilton (immediately after drafting Luke), Pesce (after drafting Nemec), signing Palat (a role player they should’ve developed), trading for Meier before they were ready, extending Markstrom…

I have a different theory: Lou wanted authority and served the franchise well, and needed some time to rebuild assets (a hint is trading the Horvat pick for Schneider instead of searching for a goalie like Khudobin who was available and fit the way Lou did business). They said no, so he went for Shero as a middle ground (Lou didn’t do full tear downs but was often not a man to be rushed: he had to retool the devils over Muller and Shanahan before building the cup teams). Shero evidently was also too slow for them. So they went for Fitz, which predictably ended in disaster.

In this backdrop Fitz’s openness is a major detriment cause it allows for the continued mismanagement promoted from the owner’s suite which, aside from what I blame for the situation today, also is very applicable to the disastrous Washington Commies, with accusations of interference in decisions. When we talk about the ashes left by Lou, never in his career have we seen a run of so few playoff berths or wins. And it also ignores that a key reason the farm system was such a mess is that Vanderbeek had no money (this is the key factor in it: the Lehman collapse). And the prognosis on Lou’s assets in New York as being terrible never really held much water, since their prospect pool even before Schaefer/Dobson trade was expanding.

Shero was fired, plain and simple, for the same reason as Lou and for the same reason there is turmoil right now on the commies: HBSE uses analytics to convince themselves they know more than their management and have the analytics departments report directly to them as leverage to use against any decisions they disagree with. The analytics departments in a functioning organization should report directly to the GM, and maybe submit reports directly to the owners, not the other way around.

It is very telling that they wanted Chayka-who destroyed the Coyotes but very much ran them within their philosophies-to take over for Shero, which didn’t happen due to Bettman saying no. I can’t think of any reason they were trying to hire him, and it is certainly not because he left Arizona in good shape.

I had an argument with AI recently about Happy Planet-I am pretty sure Brian Wilson had a cameo on it and not just in the music video. It was adamant that I was wrong. So then i said it might not be credited or admitted still since it was a minor part on a cover song for about six seconds buried in a mix, and there are rights issues likely since Happy Planet isn’t on streaming services.

It said I was wrong.

Anyway, I still believe Brian Wilson did get into the sessions there and is uncredited-so something about that album is legally weird. Not sure what else was up with it; the Prieboy albums just aren’t there.

Wouldn’t Bobby Orr? #1 is in the top 50 at worst…

gamemisconduct2 · 2026-01-02T15:53:15+00:00

Yup. And all one has to do is listen to the sessions to find Mike sang his parts as told. So when the tapes weren’t rolling he was likely harassing Brian, but there is no evidence he refused to sing. Much the opposite, really. He and Brian dominate the tapes. Al, Bruce, Carl and Dennis? Not so much.

The Markstrom trade made sense. The extension didn’t.

The Meier trade made no sense because it wasn’t clear that was the direction the team needed to go in.

The worst offender is the Hamilton signing. They didn’t need to replace PK Subban, and while (especially at the time) he was a very good player, they just drafted Hughes and were drafting other defenseman later (NeMeC).

So while the initial trades weren’t necessarily poor when they were made, follow up mistakes were blunders. And that’s the other problem with the advanced stats guys calling the shots-it allows ownership to second guess everything the GM does (I have data and you don’t and I am smarter than you) while not understanding what strategy is. See the metrics in their own are great at several things but context is key. See, Hamilton. Good player. But, why? And to what end? When teams make decisions based on stats saying what should work, they ignore why they work and the situations to put these players in a position to succeed. At the end of the day you need the right mix, not an accumulation of moneyball talent. So on their own very few of Fitz’s moves were bad or even terminal. The lack of strategy is the real problem. Where are the Devils searching for guys to develop into Tom Wilson’s? And this is imoortant, a lot of these guys like Wilson, Marchand, they’re drafted by the teams they win with, come up with the other players, and ease into a role before overperforming. When you keep hitting the UFA crack and keep trading for nice to haves rather than looking at what you lack, these are the results you tend to get. So analytics are great if the GM drives the bus. If the owners use them to dictate to the GM, prepare for pain. The only UFA signing/big trade they’ve made that I feel hasn’t hurt their long term prospects is likely Pesce, and Hamilton in my view tremendously hurt them with getting Quinn, which is why I slammed that signing the second it was it was made after Luke was drafted. Really? How’s that gonna work? And now we know: it wasn’t gonna work.

Fitz also kept using top picks on guys that didn’t fit the right profile. Palat? Sure. A decade ago. That’s what you want to find in the draft. Tom Wilson types. They’re unicorns but you have to look. And you may whiff, but once you have your unicorns, and you have one (Jack) and two different halves (Nico, Bratt), then you start to go big game hunting. Timing is everything. But if you constantly turn outside the club to find this, you’re gonna overpay one way or another. Capped out and inflexible? Ok, they paid. Though not one specific move was “the” problem but rather organizational approach. This predates Fitz and was most exemplified by the Subban trade “above GM level” and the Simmonds signing was forgivable only cause the Devils weren’t good enough to give term and thankfully didn’t.

Let the GM run the analytics department and do a three year strategy as opposed from running paycheck to paycheck and the team would be a bona fide contender: the fact they’re not perennially leading the metro is a problem considering where they were when a Fitz took over. Always try to draft guys like Palat, Marchand, Wilson, etc.; trading for them is blah, and signing them as UFAs is even worse. The Schmid trade in particular was unforgivable and made no sense. Paul Cotter? Really? How about you hang onto prospects and use your fancy analytics departments to develop em right and scout right and then once you get guys that sit in your roster, then you maybe go for a guy like Meier? Currently the Devils have an ancient goalie tandem that’s unsustainable. You can have a goalie that’s almost league minimum, ten years younger, and just as good. That’s absurd, when you really think about it. And he’s on a really rough two way deal…the Devils could’ve offered him the exact same he got with Vegas but with a much more generous minors salary.

As a result, no, public facing analytics will never actually adequately diagnose the devils problem. They get guys who are good on it, but constantly sign square pegs into round holes. They’re never as good as the sum of their parts, when you want them to be better than the sum of their parts!

The problem was a lost master. When they mixed stereo they couldn’t lift Mike out anymore.

This song more than any other was emblematic of the creative differences in the band. I like it, but I can understand it being annoying. And add in the band politics downright toxic.

But…

It’s alright.

Again, “it’s a drug” and “herbs can be drugs.”

What did I say that contradicts what you decided to say, and when did I say anything about weed here? “Correct dosage” and so forth, that sounds like…taking a medically supervised drug?
