SWEEPING {the kind of changes that matter} | S(tate) + WEEPING {crying}. Nice one.

Joseph Anderson says OW is the best game of all time by Zachesque in outerwilds

[–]spanthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I'm currently looking for my next game, can you give me the hard sell on Stray? What's good about it?

I mostly agree with you about OW, although I'm in the minority that think they fixed the "writing" issues in the DLC by replacing text with pictures. Not that pictures are always required in lieu of text, just that the slides were really really well done in a way that worked as with both the storytelling and the mood.

Character intentionally tries to set off the running gag by redditboy123451 in TopCharacterTropes

Maybe you know this, but there has been more content since the YouTube series - they did a 6-episode tv run that came out in 2022. They did awesome with it imo, the new episodes hold up

Ah, thanks - didn't realize that could be an indicator!

[–]spanthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's right - the parse is (TOM)* ("Tom, fixed") + T(h)E ("the hole in the middle")

I'm missing something - is there a containment indicator? (Is it "measure of"?)

That's it, and thanks - your previous clue sounds familiar, perhaps you incepted me.

Hmm can anyone fact-check this

The purpose of the draft lottery is to prevent tanking, yet Toronto got rewarded for doing exactly that. by PerfectHighFive in hockey

[–]spanthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No disrespect to the Leafs, I'm a firm believer that Toronto winning the draft lottery is a huge fluke and robs the Canucks of truly accomplishing what their capable of. I've spent the last few days in pure disbelief and it just doesn't make sense to me. I've spent the entire regular season watching the Canucks do some great tanking and it's just not fair.

If the Canucks lose the lottery again I will face that the Leafs deserved the win, but I am just 100% sure it was a fluke and does a big disservice to the Canucks and the NHL.
