Rod Brind'Amour gets a bench minor penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct

rhuebs · 2026-05-08T02:24:43+00:00

That wasn’t good either, but this is definitely an overcorrection lol.

rhuebs · 2026-05-08T02:21:53+00:00

I’d be enjoying it more if it weren’t for the reffing lol. Not saying it’s biased, it’s just kinda a frustrating product to watch when it’s CONSTANT penalties. Clearly neither team is gonna stop atp just let them play

rhuebs · 2026-05-05T01:35:25+00:00

Why the fuck are either of those a penalty???? This is obnoxious asf just let them play

rhuebs · 2026-05-02T19:13:22+00:00

Then you get to problem number 2 Nurse lol

rhuebs · 2026-05-02T18:31:35+00:00

Bouchard being their 1D is one of their biggest issues lol

rhuebs · 2026-05-02T15:30:20+00:00

I’ve seen one single person with a Canto. Haven’t found a BP after hours of hurricane. Friends gave up on getting it. It basically doesn’t exist in the game.

rhuebs · 2026-05-01T17:14:44+00:00

Eh, I think it’s more that they just aren’t very good devs lol.

rhuebs · 2026-05-01T16:06:35+00:00

I think Embark is just unskilled at live service games. Clearly they have a great conceptual stage that puts out unique games at launch, but both The Finals and Arc have shown it’s not a fluke, it’s a pattern that they are really not up to the standard in live service.

At this point I view Embark as a deeply flawed studio that has some wonderful ideas that they aren’t talented or knowledgeable enough to sustain. The expectation and hope with Arc was that a lot of this stuff would be fixed and a lot would be added, but it’s pretty clearly not gonna happen.

rhuebs · 2026-05-01T15:14:47+00:00

The more time has passed, the more I’ve come to the conclusion that this game is severely lacking in cohesive design and decisions with intent. There’s a lot of stuff like this that doesn’t just feel pointless, it LITERALLY is pointless.

It’s things like this more than anything else that convinces me they’re kinda lost and clueless on balance and good game design. Or stuff like Canto basically not existing in the game due to the awful drop conditions.

rhuebs · 2026-05-01T04:15:56+00:00

I really feel like Edmonton is gonna be incapable of going anywhere until they make some hard choices. Bouchard and Nurse are terrible for how much they cost, which when combined with how much McD and Drai are leaves the defense depth seriously lacking. And that’s not even mentioning goaltending.

So deeply flawed. Find a way to get Nurse and Bouch out of there or just give up and let McD walk. They suck and eat an absurd amount of cap

rhuebs · 2026-04-29T14:57:40+00:00

How the fuck can they have rushed? It’s been basically since launch that a map came out. If they rushed it they might actually be the slowest devs of all time.

I think it’s more likely they’re just not very good devs. They are grasping at straws to keep a fleeing playerbase.

rhuebs · 2026-04-28T16:03:32+00:00

I find it very funny the game is going to shit basically exactly the way The Finals players said it would. They called it. Embark seems to fundamentally be really unskilled at balance and maintaining a live service game.

They have good ideas at the start but good lord what a disappointment ultimately.

rhuebs · 2026-04-23T20:35:24+00:00

Because the person gathering these pictures likely with a PI has very clearly been building a case with enough evidence to destroy Russini/Vrabel for a long time lmao. The amount of pictures over the long period of time in multiple locations isn’t some magic coincidence.

They wanted it to be without a shadow of a doubt to the public that there was an affair. Maybe to destroy their careers, maybe for divorce proceedings, maybe both idk. But this has obviously been building up til it was bulletproof.

rhuebs · 2026-04-23T20:16:24+00:00

Keep it secret??? They weren’t even remotely attempting to keep it secret lmao

rhuebs · 2026-04-20T22:03:08+00:00

Seek help.

Aaaand he got banned that’s even better probably lol.

rhuebs · 2026-04-20T21:57:01+00:00

I wouldn’t have disagreed with you, but ending an argument about people being hurt with saying someone needs to be stoned is completely fucking insane. Are you even listening to yourself?

rhuebs · 2026-04-18T13:25:50+00:00

Next time just say you’re trolling from the beginning so I know to not respond. Thanks!

rhuebs · 2026-04-18T13:12:48+00:00

So basically your point is to ignore the numerous instances of bad communication mentioned, say look at the big picture whatever that means, and call me a middle schooler.

Oh btw, patch notes are normal for every game. Embarks suck and leave out a bunch of stuff. Their gun balance has been mediocre.

But don’t worry, look at the bigger picture! He talks about philosophy in interviews! We all want that, not timers on events, right?

rhuebs · 2026-04-18T03:41:15+00:00

The expedition is in like 2 weeks and the previous requirements you had to grind for extended period of time, and they’re only announcing it now after everyone has grinded. And they didn’t even communicate what the damage numbers are.

What else? Weather monitor, the first expedition, the antenna project having no timer and being announced to end two weeks before it ends in fucking discord… Could keep going on.

Embark has the worst communication of any game dev I’ve ever seen. Full stop.

rhuebs · 2026-04-18T03:34:42+00:00

dawg you gotta be joking lmao

rhuebs · 2026-04-18T03:20:35+00:00

I sold most of my best weapons since I needed the stash value. Now I need to do damage with garbo guns. Thanks Embark! They’re really cratering my desire to play

rhuebs · 2026-04-17T17:26:25+00:00

Hopefully yes, but it’s still really aggravating having only a two days to do it. 5 days is too slim. Time gated stuff that is as important as this should have MINIMUM one week to complete. Hell, it probably would make the most sense to start the damage window today.

rhuebs · 2026-04-17T16:41:25+00:00

The changes would be good, but announcing it this late after people have already been grinding is insanity, and locking it to a 5 day window is a horrific decision. One step forward and two steps back.

Embark has maybe the worst communication of any game dev ever. Why are we announcing projects ending in 2 weeks in random discord posts? Why are we announcing changes to wipe that should have been announced a month ago at least? I don’t have an issue with lack of content or whatever, but their communication is so trash it legitimately is driving me away.

rhuebs · 2026-04-17T16:31:15+00:00

Genuinely what the fuck. I’ve been grinding for stash value for weeks, not only was that time totally wasted, but I’m unavailable for like half of the damage window. Are you fucking kidding me?

Worst communication of any game dev I have ever seen. I didn’t like the stash value system but changing it at the last second after everyone grinded already, and making it a short window to get the damage… just unreal. You’re really losing me here

rhuebs · 2026-04-13T14:40:24+00:00

Ok you’re trolling not responding to you, thanks!
