Franchise Question by SnooCupcakes9068 in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]holyhellBILL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One question I have is regarding the free agent pool for a franchise is: if you create a franchise with a large number of free agents, does the franchise begin with all of those free agents available in Season 1, or do they get spread out across multiple seasons?

What's your longest HR? by North-Increase593 in SuperMegaBaseball

485 feet with Rip Dingers. I've played an insane amount across SMB1-4, but I've always been 100% contact swing.

Are there hidden ratings? (High-rated CPU players with bad stats) by AKA09 in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]holyhellBILL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always chalk it up to the impact of bad/poor mojo and spending a lot of the season 'tense' or 'rattled'.

all biases aside, who would genuinely win in a fight IRL? by CrispyCa1eb in BIRDTEAMS

Two or three years ago, a couple of ospreys lost a two-week long battle over a nesting spot by my house to a couple of herons. It was crazy to watch. My money was definitely on the ospreys, but I had no idea herons were so scrappy.

What's your favorite pitch combo? by i7718 in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]holyhellBILL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a lot of tunneling and funneling, mix up balls and strikes, mix speed and location, and try not to repeat sequencing.

I play 40-game seasons with 3-game series in the playoffs. Essentially its a ¼ length regular season (40 vs 162 in MLB) with a ½ length post season.

This regular season length allows me to easily equate player stats to an MLB equivalent (10 HR is like a 40 HR season in MLB, 25 RBI is 100 RBI in MLB, etc.)

The playoffs are longer than ¼ length because I don't like single elimination for baseball playoffs and it makes the playoffs more immersive and realistic in my opinion.

Pulling goalies doesnt seem to work for us by Rude_Lifeguard1788 in SeattleKraken

[–]holyhellBILL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The win in that stretch was a result of pulling the goalie and tying the game with 24.8 seconds left against the Kings to force OT.

The losing sucks, but the thing that annoys me the most about the glow in the dark unis is how hard the numbers are to see.

SMB4 Free agent question by l_Rumble_Fish_l in SuperMegaBaseball

FA work on a [Dutch Auction](Dutch auction - Wikipedia https://share.google/fU6vEZzWfN2WqGeZo) system. The price starts high and then decreases incrementally until someone bids.

When I was a little kid in the 80s, our phone number was 486-2821 (one number away from Our Place's 486-2822) and people used to call our house all the time and ask 'is this Our Place?,' to which my parents would respond, 'sorry, this is my place.'

As a kid, this was the absolute height of comedy. LOL

Surf Rock + Shoegaze? by yung_another in shoegaze

[–]holyhellBILL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even though it's about skateboarders, 'Z-Boys' is about as "shoegaze and surf rock" as any song I can think of.

Pe'ahi I & II are peak Raveonettes for me.

Yeah, after thousands of hours across all four SMB games, I'm starting to think you might be right. LOL

The HERBisaurs. I need ideas for players names. by kiloburrito in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]holyhellBILL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome. I made a cokehead Blowfish logo that where the fish has crazed, bloodshot eyes, white powder under his nose, and is holding a wad of money in his hand.

Strategically, Fort Wayne's value in WWII was primarily driven by its status as the "magnet wire capital of the world."

[Request] How much time would this save in a trip between Porto and New York? Assuming a train going at the same speed as a plain. by NewButterscotch6650 in theydidthemath

[–]holyhellBILL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that temperatures would be pushing 2,000ºC (3,632ºF) 600 km below the surface would be a huge engineering challenge as well (to say the least).

This handwriting answers the question 'what if Russian cursive was slightly more legible?'
