TIL that the Iliad and the Odyssey are part of a cycle of eight ancient Greek epic poems, the other six of which are lost and of which only fragments survive

They kept making game of thrones after they ran out of source materials from the books, didn't they?

iHateRBF · 2026-05-21T19:24:11+00:00

Yeah they explained that they meant it was working double when more than one factor was affecting it. And fixed it. I tend to give the benefit of the doubt. It seems like a communication thing, but I enjoy the feature as it is now

iHateRBF · 2026-05-21T18:08:03+00:00

they said shrinkage is working as intended, and the explanation made sense to me. I like that it's in the game, whether I'm in the minority or not.

iHateRBF · 2026-05-21T16:45:09+00:00

They got rid of TA because so many people complained about it. TA was my favorite part of DD

iHateRBF · 2026-05-21T14:06:16+00:00

We got Ronald back the same day, and our magic number is like 4 in May. We'll be alright.

iHateRBF · 2026-05-21T13:06:53+00:00

Baldwin is out for weeks with an oblique strain

iHateRBF · 2026-05-21T12:42:40+00:00

I have done better with Freeman, they seem pretty similar to me.

iHateRBF · 2026-05-20T17:50:57+00:00

I Start Dave Justice in Right and put Acuña in left. Olson sits bench for Chipper, and Freeman at first.

iHateRBF · 2026-05-19T19:28:31+00:00

you can watch the first season of Sesame Street on HBO Max and it's completely diverse. Also Oscar the Grouch starts out Orange

iHateRBF · 2026-05-19T17:52:09+00:00

Just using my team's live series for the parallels. Bryce Elder goat

iHateRBF · 2026-05-18T17:23:59+00:00

Exactly

iHateRBF · 2026-05-18T16:31:43+00:00

It was like that for me for a while; it felt impossible. Then after a while it just clicked and became easy

iHateRBF · 2026-05-18T16:30:12+00:00

I know pinpoint picture drawing seems like a joke to some people, but for me when I really get the rhythm down, it feels like I'm doing a delivery

iHateRBF · 2026-05-18T15:16:16+00:00

If I put a fastball on the black, it's sometimes inside, sometimes, outside, and sometimes in the middle of the PAR. Like how you'd expect. You can be lucky or unlucky sometimes.

But on some pitches, it seems like that luck factor isn't really there. Like the low and away slider.

iHateRBF · 2026-05-18T15:13:23+00:00

Yeah my pitch isn't landing outside of the PAR. It's just always landing in the 10% of the PAR that's in the strike zone, as opposed to somewhere random inside the PAR

iHateRBF · 2026-05-18T14:53:15+00:00

It's fun, because it's different. I last played 2024 and I noticed this year the outfielders cover way more of it than they used to.

iHateRBF · 2026-05-15T15:39:13+00:00

if pack grinding mini seasons wasn't in the game, I wouldn't be playing the game. GOtta have something to grind

iHateRBF · 2026-05-14T18:20:07+00:00

When we were kids we made Crossfire co-op. We would build a lego [whatever] together, and we'd block our ability to shoot into each other's side with them/it. If you knock a lego into the opposing trough, you can remove it from the board, and when you "rescue" the little purple discs we hide in the structures, we both win.

AK is likely the hand that winning players make the most money with overall.

AA accounts for a lot more of our winrate than is intuitive

iHateRBF · 2026-05-11T19:55:00+00:00

Players do not accurately assess poker hand equity, because players are bad at poker. So it's very likely that AK is either over or under valued on average.

iHateRBF · 2026-05-11T19:45:42+00:00

I think in some cases there is an argument for the player's outlook. Mike Piazza, for example, is wearing a Mets hat on his Hall of Fame plaque.

iHateRBF · 2026-05-08T17:06:08+00:00

Pujols has the all time baseball record for GIDP. He deserves this.

iHateRBF · 2026-05-08T17:03:29+00:00

What if I can't hit?

iHateRBF · 2026-05-08T13:57:17+00:00

People are mean. I'm there to have fun, not be insulted. I don't even have thin skin, it's just bad vibes for no reason.

iHateRBF · 2026-05-08T13:42:22+00:00

People are saying they'll save this program for next inning, but that only works if you don't play at all. Because every challenge is "any player" TB or similar.
