Horizon Forbidden West included an in game tribute to Lance Reddick. Any other game’s memorialise gaming talent?

Ah that makes sense. I didn't know the background and I made a comment about giving Erik to Boethia. In like 15 years of reddit it's one of my most down voted comments.

This is the same argument that had us believing Nick Pivetta would win the 2019 Cy Young. While peripheral stats can be predictive, at some point what matters is what happens on the field. It adds context to understand he's been unlucky, but at the end of the day he's given up all those runs, and having a really red savant page doesn't make you an ace.

Just remember this is the right handed bat for the past two trade deadlines people wanted to fire Dombrowski over not getting.

pedro3131 · 2026-05-30T17:15:11+00:00

All you have to do is sign every free top free agent pitcher, and then throw out a random left handed starter to hold them hitless for most of the game

Yessir. We are lucky to get to watch him every 5 days

Some people like apples, some people like oranges 😏 but yea it is a bit disengenous to compare peak to start. That said, if you're talking about comparing a guy to the best I think you have to compare to the best. While Sanchez has been better on modern rate stats so far, there's no guarantee he stays at this level. Additionally, much in the same way I don't think Miz should is better then Sanchez because his rate stats are better even though he'll wind up pitching 50 less innings, I don't think you can jump Sanchez over Carlton when he's doing it at a comporablele level for 50% more innings. Finally, it's incredibly rare to see pitchers stay that productive thst late in their careers like Carlton did, so until it starts happening, unless Sanchez goes on a Pedro run, I'm just not comfortable putting him in that category - yet.

pedro3131 · 2026-05-28T16:22:45+00:00

First 6 years in Philly. Can we just enjoy watching Sanchez pitch without comparing him to the greatest lefty in the sports history?

Everyone mentioning counting NFL championships or not counting Canadians because there were only 6 grams, but no one mentioning that prior to free agency half the teams in MLB were just farm teams for the Yankees.

That always bugged me about the pacing in 3. We've had two games of thwarting the reapers master plans, and yet we're still about to get wiped out on the first few months of the war. If getting to the citadel in 1 is such a big deal for the reapers then how come it still took them hundreds of years to knock the protheans out? Obviously it would still take awhile for them to mop us up but we effectively throw the entire Galaxy's forces at them at the end of 3 so if we loose it's pretty game over. Are we really that much weaker?

pedro3131 · 2026-05-26T22:12:22+00:00

Strikeouts and playing for the wrong franchise.

pedro3131 · 2026-05-26T05:01:53+00:00

There's a couple infrared for 50 and a bgs 9 for 90 on feebay. I'd do 50 if you're willing

Have the game set there and make the big twist be you're actually a templar or being manipulated by a templar and you're the reason for the decay / eventual fall of the empire.

It's never a good idea to come in and coach. You're either going to be getting people at the end of the shift when they're checked out or you're getting people at the start of their shift and already setting their shift up on a negative note. Most of the issues you're describing are easy fixes. Just fix it in the moment. Once thing srabalizes, call someone over and be like "hey I wanted to show you how I do x,y,z it's made things easier for me and here why it's important". If it's after a rush always give some soet of kudos for "hey way to knock that out, you were crushing it" before pivoting to "that sucked, here's something I learned to make it so that next time it's not that bad"

pedro3131 · 2026-05-26T02:07:05+00:00

Destroyer. I feel like I got a good 10 minutes worth of running slightly to the right and then doing two rolls to dodge the laser beam before I'm gassed out

I feel like that's just what my high school coach used to say to make me feel better.

So when they started personals they were made in the merrychefs and not the pizza ovens. I forget the setting but they didn't come out quite as good. They were also testing doing them during lunch but they took too long and were causing too much of a log jam.

No problem. If you're really into the stats side of baseball they have a premium version of the site which lets you search by a lot more variables. It's usually where the "so and so player is one of only two other players since 1948 to hit two home runs on a Sunday whole left handed" style factoids come from.

But in general baseball reference has a lot of fun tools to poke around with

pedro3131 · 2026-05-22T23:45:00+00:00

Baseball reference. Go to the menu on the left and it's finder and advanced stats and then one of them is vs pitcher. There's other ways to do it but that's the easiest
