    Sports NFL Thread: 2024-25 Season

    awfully back-loaded schedule for yall, not just in divisional games, but in difficulty too. i would pin green bay, buffalo, and sf as 3 of the 6 best teams and you get them almost back to back. at least two of them are at home! on the bright side, though, i think a 6-1 or 7-0 start is pretty...

    Post your searing hot takes

    I think this give GOI an unfair shake. I don't even really think GOI is a "bad controls" game as people often say: its controls are what prevents the game from being trivially easy, they are the foundation of the game and not an unnecessary add-on to a normally functional game. I think it's...

    Post your searing hot takes

    I sympathize with your complaints–one of the two rougelikes I enjoy, Balatro, is pretty susceptible to seed issues and "why couldn't this be deliberately designed" at higher difficulties. They also gave me new perspective on my favorite rougelike, ADOM. I hadn't explicitly realized this, but...

    Unpopular opinions

    My unpopular opinion is that gen4 cross evos are, overall, a net negative. As far as battling, i think they're a mixed bag. They're often better, sure, but often not in ways that are fun. (List of cross-evo Pokemon: Magnezone, Lickilicky, Rhyperior, Happiny, Tangrowth, Mime Jr., Electivire...

    Media What is the best game, uncontested, youd die on that hill proudly

    As a competitive Ultimate player, I can't agree myself. If you're still staying with your view, that's all good, just putting a different perspective on the game out there. As a single-player experience, the game suffers from the relatively mediocre single-player content. Everyone's already...

    The politics of "glhf"

    im a glhf / u2!! person at heart but i get uncomfortable when people i don't know expect to have a longer conversation with me, which is reasonably likely to happen across multiple battles/people/etc., given i have custom avatar/gvoice/room staffs, so i minimize greetings and respondings to...

    Invalid Update misinformation about sludge wave.

    Gastly (and thus the line) should get Sludge Wave through the Gen 5 Dream World

    Longest "Your team was rejected" message

    I imagine you two could boost your setups by running 500 EVs in every stat. I got the following messages with a different setup: Happy you found a setup that includes the event messages - I found the following 8 messages for event Genesect in Gen5, but there isn't the sleep ban + non-existent...

    Pending Custom EV's/IV's should work in custom game (and/or with custom rules)

    i strongly support this suggestion if it is feasible for, in addition to the above, the secondary purpose of approximating custom base stats in general

    Pending Rewording Loaded Dice's Description

    I understand the logic - you’re more parsimoniously describing the function, for sure - but I prefer the original because it outlines the potential outcome ranges in a way that requires zero additional thought or stimulus. No idea if that’s consensus, though.

    Unpopular opinions

    the balancing of psychic types in gen2 (which weren't a serious problem to begin with in gen1, i wouldn't even call them the best type) was probably excessive in hindsight, and I have no problem peeling back some of those changes if doing so makes sense
