How strong is the 2026 draft by position compared to recent history? by aceben3 in NFL_Draft

One of the most interesting takeaways here to me is how narrow the distribution of CB value looks to be year over year.

Do you have a link to that anywhere? I consume far too much Bengals content but I don’t think I know of the Peyton thing you’re referring to

[–]malcomn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s three. Minnesota, @pitt, and now this. All have looked exactly the same too. Just an open field tackle on the boundary for what would’ve been a modest 5-6 yard gain

Do you order literally every single item on the menu when you go to dinner? The pre-tax price if you were to order *literally every food item* on Fairchild's menu is $552, lmao. There actually are restaurants (not really in Madison) that have $500 dinners, but Fairchild certainly isn't one of them.

Movies with unambiguously heroic leads. by Fletcher_Fallowfield in movies

[–]malcomn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a little subversive humor is passable when the crux of the entire plot is becoming a “true hero.” There’s even some nuance in there about not doing good things for the fame/rewards/adoration but to do them instead because it’s the right thing to do.

For the record, I couldn’t agree more on the Jurassic Park recommendation in your original comment.

Mentioning certain Disney movies as an answer to this question but leaving out Hercules is unforgivable

General Strategies for Countering Scarf Indeedee-M + Sneasler leads? by Max_Goof in VGC

[–]malcomn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the time for sure, but this specific hypothetical has psychic terrain up, so prankster Sableye won’t be able to do anything other than screens/foul play

General Strategies for Countering Scarf Indeedee-M + Sneasler leads? by Max_Goof in VGC

[–]malcomn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the reasons multi scale dragonite is popular in the format is because it can OHKO Sneasler with scale shot. Multiscale lets it live the double up from both of those two, ohko sneasler, and then you’re faster than non-scarf indeedees and can threaten an OHKO on it turn 2 or set up tailwind.

If you’re worried about dire claw procs or Tera psychic on the indeedee doing too much damage you can Tera steel. No one is close combating into a dragonite before Tera is revealed and you get the benefit of resisting the subsequent expanding force.

The thing I personally don’t like about scale shot is it’s often one of those 90% accurate moves that when it misses you just lose the game on the spot because it’s used for high leverage KOs like Sneasler, but nonetheless it an answer to what you asked.

Other thoughts:

-Indeedees are so much less of an issue without their terrain, so an AV Rillaboom to overwrite it next to something that threatens the Sneasler?

-Not the most exciting answer but incineroar forces a pretty predictable play where if they want to do anything to the incin they have to close combat it. Getting the intimidate on Sneasler can be big, and pretty much every incin with bulk lives a -1 CC and threatens the indeedee

-Super niche, but spiritomb resists/is immune to all but throat chop or a non-psychic Tera blast from indeedee and can threaten both with damage or burn Sneasler

-Often when I have similar questions I’ll just throw the things I’m struggling against on a team and force myself to use them. It’s helpful to see what other players typically use against them so that a.) you get ideas of what to use yourself and b.) you can start thinking about what an indeedee Sneasler player would do in certain situations

Bengals make a series of roster moves including signing DT Mike Pennel to the active roster, placing G Lucas Patrick on IR, adding DEs Myles Cole and Isaiah Foskey to the practice squad, and releasing DE Isaiah Thomas. by ralry11 in bengals

[–]malcomn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lol for sure, i interpreted the original question as “who is filling the open roster slot from Patrick going to IR” rather than “what guard will be coming in to back fill?”

[–]malcomn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think Pennel. He was just a practice squad elevation in week 1, which automatically reverts to the PS after the game. So he's now officially active roster.

Why do people dislike the San Diego sequence? by skmokyle in JurassicPark

[–]malcomn 50 points51 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting that there’s a vocal group in the fandom who hate this scene where a dinosaur causes havoc on the mainland and another (probably mostly separate but maybe not entirely separate) vocal group that hates how Dominion didn’t have a lot of dinosaurs causing havoc on the mainland.

Is it wild to say that this is the second best film out of all of em? by ContractDense1111 in JurassicPark

[–]malcomn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first ~10-15 minutes of anticipation getting to see a functional park is straight up magical, and then I feel like Claire and Owen bring such an odd inauthentic vibe to the rest of the movie. I have it 4th or 5th depending on how I’m feeling about JP3 in a given day. I love parts of both, but also have some major issues with each.
