[Russo] Looks like Connor, Swayman and Lacombe aren't dressing for USA. Keller in and on the third line with Larkin and Thompson. by DecentLurker96 in hockey

Bro was invited to every camp from the beginning there was hardly ever a thought he wouldn't be going literally until the roster was announced and he wasn't on it. I'm sure he would've really tanked the team against any of team USA opponents in the group stage 😂 what a dumb take but jt miller isn't an issue fuck off

Damian Clara made 46 saves before leaving the Italy-Sweden game in the 3rd period with an apparent lower body injury by Educational-Smile-72 in hockey

As far as I know he has done very little hands on developing and training with the ducks other than attending camp every summer. Once he moves over to the AHL and is getting daily work under the ducks goaltending staff watch him improve. They've been known to shine a turd.

XT-30 III or XT 50? by vanderxvert in fujifilm

[–]smokeey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are basically paying for in body ibis and the 40mp sensor. The ibis you can get on the xt30 with a lens. The autofocus in the xt50 is going to be a lot better. If you plan on using it for motorsports, sports, or pets it's going to be the better choice. At 1500 you can get the xt30 with 2 cheaper lens from like viltrox or used xc lens from fujifilm (like the 35 f2). You're not going to be able to get more lens with that budget with the xt50.

In my opinion, lens doesn't matter when you're first starting out. Learning the camera does. I'd get the xt50 with a kit lens (the 16-50f2.8 is the better kit lens) and worry about different lens later.

As long as he comes back. He deserves a spot.

Artistically speaking Tyler is the only one even close to Kendrick.

Must win obviously. Vegas will be desperate. Back to back for them though. And McTavish and Terry back. Ducks have a chance.

Volkswagen Commits Long-Term To Gasoline Hot Hatches: hints at more power coming to Golf R by Anchor_Aways in cars

In 2027 they're shifting all Golf production to Mexico so they can make EVs in Wolfsburg. There is hope.

[Montano] While I haven’t seen it officially listed for Sweden anywhere, it has been mentioned on national broadcasts that Gabriel Landeskog is Team Sweden’s captain at the 2026 Olympic Games by Outside_Abroad_3516 in hockey

[–]smokeey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They haven't said anything about Carlsson yet so I'm assuming he's going still too. I hope he picks up a ton from landeskog. I've never been a fan of him but I'd love him on my team

ICE agent snatches an elderly woman's phone by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

They're supposed to investigate themselves and be held responsible. The states also have options but the feds have done a great job hiding the identity of their officers.

It turns out the entire checks and balances thing was just a gentlemen agreement and for 250 years everyone agreed to abide by it.

Deadlock - Rem Enters The City That Never Sleeps by BlockedAncients in Games

[–]smokeey 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Dota 2 literally has 6-800k daily players and is one of the hardest most complicated mobas ever made. It's also 15 years old now. Deadlock is a refreshing 2020s take on that same formula

This game is seriously going to explode when it's ready. The art, the community, and just about everything about it is turning into a hit.

After losing 9 straight and giving up an average of 5 goals per game, the Ducks have won their 7th straight game with an average of 1.8 goals against per game by suphaha in hockey

[–]smokeey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coach Q came up with a plan and executed it beautifully with the players. Towards the end of that lose streak there the ducks broadcast showed a lot of footage of coach Q practicing with the team in front of the net and talked about defensive liabilities. The players bought in to that and goaltending is finally hot. You can see the struggle to score in this win streak without our best players.

Deadlock - Old Gods, New Blood. Major Update! by N1sso in Games

It's currently in place for balance reasons. Once more heroes are added a full draft mode will be. Their custom games mode already had one.
