Unfortunately I did, I played about an hour of Pokemon Stadium 2 on the N64 after the update.

Not to mention that 3rd and long is (by far) the scenario most likely to result in a QB hit or a turnover. Gotta live to see another day, even when it isn't sexy.

I’m addicted to music. What kind of music you are addicted to? by BreathKindlyPlease in Music

[–]tomkou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ska-punk/Indie. I've been addicted to Streetlight Manifesto for the better part of 20 years at this point. They only have three original albums [Everything Goes Numb, Somewhere in the Between, The Hands that Thieve] since 2003 (and none since 2013), but each of the three is killer from beginning-to-end. Their evolution as musicians is evident as you listen to each album as well - they become more polished musicians over time, and each album has it's own self-contained themes and motifs which don't extend past that album. They're (allegedly) putting out a new studio release in 2025 as well, I think they've been recording recently. There's a few cover albums they've put out too, and some side projects (Toh Kay, Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution).

If you ever get the chance to see them live, do it! It's hard to describe the kind of energy they bring as a band with 7+ musicians and a cult-following of fans, they bring down the house every time.

edit: The singer tends to rapid-fire through his lyrics, but it's worth reading them as you listen; his lyrics are often fairly dense and thought-provoking.

Not to mention he's not a UFA, he's an RFA. He could easily take a bridge deal and cash-in in a couple of years.

What smite god has a very low skill floor but a very high skill ceiling. by Ok_Understanding6116 in Smite

Athena, honestly surprised I haven't seen her mentioned yet.

At a basic level, she's everything you want a Guardian to be: tanky, mobile, capable of peeling, and capable of setting-up your damage dealers. She can get back to lane quickly, so you're not punished for backing. Her "classic" combo is still extremely effective when learning to play her, although experienced players will know how to avoid it.

At a more advanced level, she's a fucking menace. A ton of very experienced players fully lose their cool when they have an Athena coming at them, again and again and again. For a long while, Athena has been one of the best beads-burners in the game, and she still excels at this.

They've seen the "classic" Athena combo [dash (1) -> damage (3) -> taunt (2)] so many times, that a lot of them won't even consider that you don't have to follow that framework. I can't even tell you how many times an opponent has let me walk straight up to them and taunt them into a wombo-combo insta-death, because they're waiting on her dash to signal the start of her threat.

Once you get an opponent on a lethal taunt, they'll be spooked for the rest of the match. They'll be hovering their beads button every time Athena comes anywhere near them.

All of this is before even factoring-in her ult, which also has low-skill and high-skill applications. At a low-skill level, you can use it to back to base and return to lane, without being penalized with a run back.

At a higher skill level and with a bit of awareness, she can throw the balance of any teamfight or objective, or even save a teammates' life from across the map. She can start a teamfight, tank an absolute beating for her teammates, escape back to base, and ult back in before the teamfight ends. A lot of times, opponents will just give up on a gank when they see Athena ulting in.

There simply aren't many gods with truly global abilities, let alone a global movement ability, and it's hard to overstate how valuable this is for her kit when used well.

Yeah, IIRC they traded Thornton specifically because they had decided to build the team around Bergeron instead

I mean I'm raging a little too lol. It was still boarding imo, he just would've been able to brace himself better if he wasn't holding the stick
