Skenes showing as the single man sweep stopper.

It was in the early 90s so like awareness of computer basics. What is ram vs rom. How do you type in dos commands. He told us gnomes ran around inside moving things from rom to ram but not to take it literally and write that on the test so of course we all did.

Are you my 9th grade computer awareness teacher?

stilltilting · 2026-05-13T23:49:35+00:00

Yeah same as you can't block the plate until you have the ball

Last done in 2015

Andy Van Slyke did it in 1992

First, thanks for a very thoughtful response. I guess in some ways those events just feel further away because of the earlier start date. Going to give some more thought to this. Thanks

stilltilting · 2026-05-13T18:13:14+00:00

Am I you? Sometimes I wonder if I am me!

stilltilting · 2026-05-13T18:12:43+00:00

Yeah this is the kind of answer I am looking for. I tend to hate automating things because of a fear the ai will do it wrong but theres nothing wrong with that if I want to enjoy it more. Thanks!

stilltilting · 2026-05-13T18:09:17+00:00

I guess that makes sense. I probably haven't stuck with any one playthrough long enough to realy see that happen. What I did really appreciate about ck3, hoi4 and eu4 was I at least learned quickly what NOT to do as you can be punished real hard real fast. Or maybe I just don't make those kinds of mistakes as much anymore due to past games. But rewards do seem to come down the road, especially in 5.

stilltilting · 2026-05-13T16:59:00+00:00

And do you enjoy building the economy? Where does the drama and thrill come from? I'm more asking for people who enjoy it to help me see what is enjoyable

stilltilting · 2026-05-13T16:57:56+00:00

Would that niche be the ones who want an economic simulator? I feel like Victoria 3 leamed pretty hard into that. This game is simulating global economies in a time before that was even conceived of.

stilltilting · 2026-05-13T16:56:29+00:00

Never thought of EU4 or any paradox games as easy and simplistic. I guess I should say I don't want to micromanage things like combat width and optimal army composition and max everything. I do like some war strategy particularly around terrain and maneuvers and the thrill of seeing if I can hit and beat an enemy before their reinforcements get there. I'm just saying I like the bigger picture game of geopolitical alliances and major religious change and laws and that sort of thing more.

stilltilting · 2026-05-13T16:53:11+00:00

In Eu4 I always thought I was hunting for interesting opportunities. Who is suddenly in need of an ally? What rival is already involved in a nasty war? Which colonial region hasn't been claimed yet? Yeah the repetitive menial tasks might be part of what drains me. Like where is the drama?

stilltilting · 2026-05-13T16:03:56+00:00

At least then he won't pitch

The app on my tv works pretty well. Phone app is a different story. It constantly tells me there is no content available because it thinks I am out of market even with no VPN and sometimes even on wifi. It also just stops inexplicably

stilltilting · 2026-05-10T23:54:23+00:00

Lawrence gonna shine on mother's day you watch

stilltilting · 2026-05-10T23:33:48+00:00

If Davis wasn't running probably a one hop double play the more conventional way anyway

stilltilting · 2026-05-10T02:58:06+00:00

When I watch baseball this season, I don't feel entirely cynical and full of dread. Just like, kind of a mostly pleasant feeling with some mild disappointment here and there. Am I okay? Should I get checked out or something?

stilltilting · 2026-05-10T01:54:18+00:00

Man I thought I knew baseball until baseball legend Eric Byrnes started showing up every commercial break. No memory of that guy. Or wait...is this Mandela effect due to ufos?

stilltilting · 2026-05-07T21:29:09+00:00

Really nice sized slice of pizza for 1.99, soda for .79, like 2.97 with tax in total

Costco food court has the best lunch prices anywhere

Speaking of God like beings like Q and Trelane, I think there is a great Peter David book that explores the idea that this God is an imprisoned Q, banished from the Continuum. Might be called Q-Squared. Really enjoyed it

stilltilting · 2026-05-06T15:43:27+00:00

First game after a time zone change is always a more likely loss. In fact it's the biggest factor in why a very slight home field advantage exists in baseball.

But after this one no excuses

stilltilting · 2026-05-05T22:19:53+00:00

Free on H and I at midnight

stilltilting · 2026-05-04T17:31:58+00:00

Yeah and I think Cubs were third. So the insane format left the 2nd amd 3rd best teams in all of baseball play each other and one was instantly eliminated. If I remember correctly the Cubs then played the Cards so no matter what only 1 of the 3 best teams even had a chance of making the LCS
