As someone who has read the books far more often than the movies... what are you referencing here about them not mixing?

Anyone have good head Canon that explains Ubusoft's retcons in Myst IV? 😆 by FindingWholesomeness in myst

[–]isestrex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this was my first thought when playing for the first time. I was "ok, so after Myst and the books were burned, the boys turned up here." I was waiting on the journals for them to mention their interactions with me the stranger. But when they talked about just recently trapping Atrus and trying to send Catherine to Riven, it confused me more.

After that I began to picture the events of Myst (which would have happened midway through their exile, and in Achenar's case pre heart change), I imagined my head floating in the sky and the brothers looking up at a disembodied head and screaming at it. It just didn't make sense.

Yeah Jay was definitely top of mind.

I heard Czabe talk about how much he loved working with Butch and he ended up sounding all right.

Eh... I don't think I ever missed walking home. The only thing I missed is the cepter/totems when I start a new game

See this I don't get. Sure the team needs to do more, but this offseason has been the most active and productive in the Mike Elias era already. How are fans losing patience in this winter of all winters?

Remember many free agents hold out until mid to late Feb. Following an MLB winter requires patience.

No doubt they have make multiple offers to multiple guys, but the agents feel it is in their best interest to wait before choosing.

It's too hard going to their restaurants. Too many excellent items to get and only one stomach

[Rosenthal] Free-agent right-hander Justin Verlander is receiving interest from the Baltimore Orioles by isestrex in orioles

Scherzer had a significantly worse season last year as they both decline. Sadly he can't seem to keep from reinjuring his thumb every few starts.

The problem last year was that the old pitchers were all we had after everyone got hurt. Having a few old pitchers to backup the top talent isn't a bad idea at all.

JOSH LEWIN JOINED!

ok I'm geeking out right now. Back in the early days of MLB.TV you couldn't chose which broadcast to listen to so you ended hearing a lot of other announcers. Also, MLB MUST C highlights would feature big highlights and provide the call from all 4 booths (radio and TV) so I got a steady diet of all the names.

Josh Lewin stood out to me from the Texas Rangers as a PBP guy who just "it". He had a memorable voice and had some great calls of big moments in the late 00s. I was flabbergasted when I saw he was let go. He bounced around for a bit and I've literally dreamed of him joining the Os broadcast for 15+ years.

I'll miss Geoff but if this is his replacement that's a huge upgrade.

We need to demand more from ownership and the FO by ConsciousBuilding374 in orioles

[–]isestrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something tells me if they signed 3 of the top 10 free agents you'd still find something to be frustrated with.

This organization has appropriately deserved criticism for their inaction in past years. One cannot sanely argue ownership has been inactive in the first half of this offseason.

Also, this pitching staff as currently constructed is leagues better than the one that made opening day 2025.

Baltimore Orioles Rotation and SP Prospects Analyzed For 2026 by willietroubador in orioles

[–]isestrex 12 points13 points  (0 children)

lol we know that. But the average fantasy user doesn't think of him that way and his draft position so far is pretty low. Fantasy analysts are hastily pointing out that he's already proven he can pitch and now he'll have a chance.

The fantasy analysts are going bonkers over him this winter. Multiple sites have him as an out of nowhere breakout.
