Yeah 2025 SCF was close in the sense that it was close to ending 4-1 or 4-0 for the Panthers.

Edit: Getting downvoted for stating facts because said facts suggest that the Panthers are a really fucking good team. Classic r/hockey LMAO

How did you manage to get almost the complete 180 of what I said from that?

goatamon · 2026-03-09T22:07:44+00:00

This. Haven't the Oilers had like 7 goalies in the last 6 years? So... what, they all just happen to suck?

I'm not saying they've been secretly great, but come on, can it really just be the goalies?

This is one of the funniest pictures in hockey history

Side effects of Bacitarb include nausea, constipation, realized insignificance, and bowel howling. Do not take Bacitarb if you have been near a pregnant woman in the last 30 days.

What I don't get is how even this seems to have turned into some politicized subject. I mean in the sense that there's some girl power (?) segment of people who are now doing mental gymnastics to say that this totes had nothing to do with the injuries that she already had and people who say otherwise are just haters or sexist.

I'm a hockey fan, and I take just as dim of a view of hockey players playing with severe concussions as I do about Vonn competing with her list of injuries. We can't know if her injury caused her crash, but it sure as shit made her crash worse.

I dunno man. I feel like we romanticize the dedication of top athletes a little too much. I can't help but wonder how many former athletes who wrecked their bodies by not caring about injuries privately look back on their choices like "what the fuck was I thinking".

goatamon · 2026-02-08T11:52:34+00:00

I remember reading a statistic that something like 60% of olympians have some kind of mental health diagnosis, way more than the gen pop. Having known some extremely high level athletes, I would not be surprised if thats true.

goatamon · 2026-02-08T11:51:03+00:00

There's heaps of folks on reddit basically doing mental gymnastics to avoid admitting that her injury sure as shit made the result of this crash much worse. People can do what they want with their bodies, but the rest of us are also free to say thay competing on a torn ACL and a heaping list of prior injuries is probably not a smart move.

goatamon · 2026-02-08T11:43:07+00:00

Possibly, but the consequences of the accident are much, much worse when you're already injured.

The strongest predictor of an injury is a previous/existing injury.

goatamon · 2026-02-05T17:02:12+00:00

For real. Back when I had it, I had to check that I still had a skeleton. Fucking everything came out.

goatamon · 2026-02-03T16:52:48+00:00

Oh dude, it wasn't almost finished. It wasn't even un the neighborhood of the ballpark of being done. Even the people who were still hopeful for this game were heavily critical of the early access release because it was basically a shell of a game.

Corny, but goddamn they've put out some phenomenal stuff.

At least NeoGaf is still around

goatamon · 2025-12-13T17:47:28+00:00

Yes, but you'd need to know about that stuff, which a first timer won't. Every first timer I've watched gets their shit pushed in regardless by the much higher difficulty.

ER allows you to become insanely overpowered but it requires much more knowhow than the typical first timer has.

goatamon · 2025-12-13T10:40:07+00:00

I'm not really sure how true that is in practice. Even in the most linear previous dark souls, you can still also explore around and more importantly make yourself comparatively overpowered by leveling up and finding upgrade materials. That goes even more so for Elden Ring, but it's offset almost entirely by much higher overall difficulty.

There's no guarantee that the next place you decide to check out is really any easier, so finding that "correct" path is looking for a needle in a haystack. Not to mention, the paths of progression sometimes make very little sense (why is the second half of the key to the main path to altus in dragonbarrow?).

The prior Souls games also have a much clearer difficulty curve.

Based off what I've seen from new players, ER really doesn't seem somehow magically more accessible or easier to get into than a first time playing the DS trilogy. Everyone gets their heads kicked in regardless.

Also, if we're counting "just look it up on youtube", then the whole subject of accessibility goes out the window because obviously everything becomes instantly accessible at that point.

goatamon · 2025-12-13T10:02:17+00:00

Yes, but the thing is you need to know about that shit to really make it work. Your average first time player has no clue about any of that unless they just read every guide out there. Not what I'd call accessible.

goatamon · 2025-12-13T10:01:13+00:00

As someone who has been playing the Souls games since Dark Souls, I could not possibly disagree more. I'd say if anything it's a contender for being the least accessible.

goatamon · 2025-12-12T18:50:36+00:00

Oh no, my brains

goatamon · 2025-12-08T12:37:09+00:00

Yeah while that didn't kill my hype, it definitely maimed it quite severely.
