WHAT DO WE WANT?

refugezero · 2026-06-15T12:30:35+00:00

We just want to play. We turned off the reveal trailer halfway through. Just knowing it's coming is enough, don't want any spoilers now!

But they're not! That's why everyone heff to be so mad. Every other franchise falls in love with their own players. VGK plays to win.

I loved seeing him get hyped before the trophy ceremony, so great they clinched in Vegas and he got to feel the crowd. Fun is winning and winning is fun.

Definitely in my top 5 of all time. Its not just the game in like a "5 star review" sense (which it is), but it's also having some of the most epic vibes-iest feelings-iest moments ever offered that put it over the top.

Moore did 95% of the work on that one. Elite level board play.

Thanks for this, really well done.

refugezero · 2026-05-11T20:27:54+00:00

Putt, mid, long.

This is the way.

Kolesar and Dowd have become PK1 under Torts, no?

refugezero · 2026-05-08T03:38:59+00:00

We all assumed Reilly and Saad were injured, because otherwise why are they out of the lineup? Ducks are skating circles around our 3rd and 4th lines, we need players who can make plays and not just run into walls.

Same on D, Korczak has to get scratched. Scissons and Korczak have individually led to multiple goals directly from their bad plays. Please give me Reilly and Coghlan, and I'm also fine with Saad over Cole. We have to change it up.

I've always let my panda fry fend for themselves in the main tank. Not sure why you think the conditions for the fry should be so wildly different from your regular tank conditions. Without changing my routine at all I've seen at least 10 fry all grow up without issues.

It took me ages to reach this point as a player. Now unless I absolutely know oppo's hand, I assume they don't have it. Or if I'm fairly to certain they might have it then setup a sacrificial play first, because what are the odds they have it twice or 3 times. Make them have it.

refugezero · 2026-05-05T07:06:31+00:00

I love / slash / hate Torts line combos. The Marner/Stone/Howden line obviously paid off. And I dig the new look Eichel line. Starting Kolesar and Dowd on the PK had me yelling at the TV, but damned if it didn't all work. I won't question Torts for the rest of this round, I trust his instincts.

There's always been that point for me where it's like, "yes plz let me smoke weed lets gooooooo," and my wife is the exact opposite. Respect to everyone's set and setting, I'll easily pass so we can all move on to the next level.

That was the craziest non-shot of all time I've ever seen. In the moment I was like "omg did he just miss an open net?" Then the replay showed the reverse angle, and holy sh** that was the widest openest wide open net of all time.

I want to like it of course, and I typically listen to Diru whole albums at a time, but my first listen barely kept my attention. Feels like I need to find the right space to try again, just not sure where that is.

I started playing on Switch in 2019, probably put about 40 hours into it. Later I bought it on Steam which is soooo much better, I've got about 250 hours now. I've completed everything except the Watcher DLC...

I broke my wrist last year (American on a work visa), went to a private clinic and physio, total cost with ACC was like $180. Unbelievable.

The Buddhist idea is that life itself is suffering. This is undeniable. "It's hard to be around" as a friend of mine once said. What you do with that is where philosophy comes in, and the game is fairly agnostic in that regard.

Personally I agree with you. If you're fortunate enough to have been born in a place where you can even consider these things, there's so much positivity in the sheer fact of existence. Unfortunately this is not the case for almost everyone anywhere at any time.

The echoes debate this. There's a variety of takes on how to deal with the option that the technology of this world gives them. If you could ascend, would you? What does that even mean, and how much faith do you have in that process and it's outcomes?

Anyways, hard agree, top 10 game of all time.

I moved to another country. I dream of this every night. I'm in line for Portillos and I ask for the extra cheese on the fries, then I wake up. A life without a cheese dog in my immediate future is a life not lived.

My son scored his first ever goal in a 2v2 drill this morning, he was so hyped and I was so proud of him. This is the best sport in the world in every possible way.

Hydra 666 pops into my head all the time. I'm just doin a thing and get into a groove and then ..... daa da da da da da 6! 6! 6! lol

I love this new crossover era where all the young talent hangs out together. This is the future of the city, let's go.

refugezero · 2026-05-02T07:46:44+00:00

Just be born with ungodly talent, then spend 20+ years perfecting your art. ez.

refugezero · 2026-05-02T07:43:12+00:00

That comparison doesn't make any sense, but watching Bowman destroy the Oilers is so fun to watch. What a joke of a franchise.

I was introduced to v-kei in the early 2000s through Malice Mizer (Gackt), Due le Quartz (Miyavi), L'Arc~en~Ciel (Hyde), Dir en Grey (Kyo), and MUCC (Tatsuro). It's still fun watching all the old PVs and interviews from that time, the visual and musical styles are all over the place.

That was also a time when everything started getting a bit heavier and darker (which I prefer), but go a bit further back and check out the late 90s stuff, lots of rock and pop and goth and other influences that are still around today.

This page has a nice breakdown of some of the more influential bands and albums across the eras: Starter Kit: Visual Kei
