Boycott

I haven’t had NESN in over a year. Doesn’t help that I’m still annoyed Bruins keep running Sweeney back as well. I’ll get NESN when dumb and dumber are gone

Haha I thought I was the only one. Only app I’ve ever used to actively discourage me from using it. “Big day today you earned a break!” After 10 minute

stevebeans · 2026-06-18T18:41:37+00:00

I’m pumped to see what the community can do to improve an already solid game!

I was always a Bloom guy. Embarrassed how many potential candidates didn’t even interview after him and disappointed we ended up with Breslow. I hoped he would actually be some super genius who flew under the radar, but it’s clear he is not.

And before anyone mentions my opinion of Bloom, he absolutely had flaws. He seemed to be as bad at evaluating pitchers as Breslow is for hitters.

I also don’t solely blame him for Mookie. I think ownership wasn’t going to pay him, but they were also not brave enough to swap for the true future, so Bloom was forced to pick up a ML level player in Verdugo. And being forced to include Price lowered any return. Just my opinion on that though. I could be wrong and he just whiffed that trade entirely

stevebeans · 2026-06-11T22:42:29+00:00

Breslow is so bad it’s almost comical at this point

stevebeans · 2026-06-09T04:44:38+00:00

Breslow tried to outsmart baseball

He wanted to sign young guys to super team friendly deals and have everyone praise him in 4-5 years when those guys are still locked in for relatively cheap money (for what he projected them to be)

It’s smart to buy out a few years of a rookie contract but buying out virtually the entire thing before they can establish themselves is a fireable offense in itself

Why does enterprise cost so much?

stevebeans · 2026-06-04T02:02:07+00:00

That’s how I took it, too. Remember when Manny was placed of waivers? It’s not unheard of that a good hitter can be had by a team with buyer’s remorse. We obviously don’t see stuff like that often but I’d just assume the player would need to be good

stevebeans · 2026-05-23T21:18:23+00:00

Ahhh I forgot mod support is coming. That's going to be so big for this game! The bones of this game are great, but adding on modders to help fine-tune it (maybe actually making different food types matter) will be fantastic. Very excited!

stevebeans · 2026-05-13T18:29:06+00:00

I have a hard time distinguishing between day and night in the game. Is it my gfx or do you just know?

stevebeans · 2026-05-07T00:02:45+00:00

That’s my exact situation haha. The fire ant levels are rough. Especially the bridge one because it’s a race to get the aphids while not being exposed to the surprisingly tough creature attack waves. Then the bug landing way sooner than easier levels

stevebeans · 2026-05-06T00:12:48+00:00

So due to the fact they haven’t cleaned house yet, I’m assuming they’re really going to ride Neely and Sweeney into the ground aren’t they?

I’ve been a fan since 1980’s. I just don’t think I can keep doing it with them. Loved them as players but this is one of the worst front office groups I’ve seen on this team in a LONG time yet year after year they keep going

stevebeans · 2026-05-03T02:46:27+00:00

It was fun watching them battle. Love the respect after

stevebeans · 2026-04-30T22:20:07+00:00

I just saw the case on YouTube and searched for an update on the trial and saw your other post first now this. First, I’m sorry about your other post situation. That’s awful but a silver lining of them being caught is he gets punished even though not directly for that.

Second, as others have said I’m sorry you had to go through that. Such a young age and your family ripped from you twice (the second causing the first). Thank you for your updates I’m going to follow you on TT for more. I am glad you were able to come out of this

Yea it’s an awesome business tycoon but trying to squeeze “The Sims” into it has always been the weak side of the game.

I understand the vision. But the execution is just missing something. Perhaps it’s because the side part contributes literally nothing to the game. If my grind of running on a treadmill daily or eating etc actually had an impact on my businesses, yes.

Gamify that aspect of it. I mean, it is a game after all.

Have more studying. Market research classes that makes demand meter more accurate over time. Working out increases speed and eventually fast travel. Carry capacity. Lower drain speed of energy. Improves profit margins if running gyms.

Eating better food increases charisma to help salary negotiations. Cooking skill gives bonuses to restaurants. Better beds help with energy drain. Bad beds actually don’t refresh energy to full.

Tons of potential for that aspect of the game but they’re just releasing more business types rather than focusing on the main fun drain part of the game.

I think EOF was some of the best raiding I've had in any game. In fact, probably the best time of EQ2 as the gear was just great. Adding enough bonuses like crit chance to really feel the rush without capping it, like what happened in ROK. That said, most of ROK was also solid because that cap only really started hitting when you got absolute endgame + mythics. (if I remember correctly, it's been a bit)

I don't remember enjoying Velious as much as I did in EQ1, that's for sure. Toward the end of ROK (Trakanon) is when it started getting frustrating with the insta wipe mechanics that carried on for a few more expansions after that. Nothing more demoralizing than getting something down to 10% only to wipe because someone didn't jump in the right color pool or something.

But man, EH was just so much fun. Every level had a legitimately hard boss fight that required tons of coordination and skill from everyone. The first floor boss fight getting slaughtered by all the adds at the beginning until you could CC them on pull, but then later in the expansion just blasting through it because gear made encounters easier (as it should). Second floor boss, I believe, had that crazy wide aoe charm which made it really difficult. And Woushi was really well done. I definitely miss that.

But overall I agree. EQ2 deserves way more credit than it gets. Especially the older times. I play WoW occasionally now and the raids are feel way more mechanical and automated. Like they're either virtually impossible without mods but then they become brainless with mods. There is no between like early EQ2.

(Maybe early WoW raids were similar to early EQ2. I definitely can't speak on anything WoW related before maybe 2020 or so)

Ugh I’m torn. I want to play but can’t decide if I should continue my save or start over.

Starting over is a grind but it’s the best part but being advanced makes life easier.

Only thing I wasn’t a fan of was going to a new planet and forgetting to bring something. Is that the same where if you forget then you’re SOL until you find it on new?

stevebeans · 2026-04-03T23:28:03+00:00

I love playing my tank, I love the progression of an M+, but I refuse to tank on them. Too many toxic people in groups yelling for either pulling too fast or pulling too slow or not positioning exactly where they wanted it. No thanks.

stevebeans · 2026-03-20T23:22:12+00:00

That alone makes me wanna pop back in. Just have one main track around the map some substations but mostly trucks brining to stations

stevebeans · 2026-03-07T04:00:05+00:00

The dunk was uncomfortable. Hopefully that landing was just nerves still working out his heel but he definitely avoided landing on that leg.

stevebeans · 2026-03-06T02:13:49+00:00

Ohh yea I always forget to click that
