My biggest point of confusion in the PAX demo/actually the whole game I played, which is that the guy is supposed to be his friend or someone who knows him very well, but keeps talking to him like he can hear him. And then the Quiet Man keeps pointing at his ears as if to say “Ah, but I’m deaf”, as if the guy wouldn’t…

I don’t care for Pete but I kinda wanna just buy him a drink and give him a hug or something.

Do coaches often have much of a say over who the team drafts? Also, in this case, would Gruden even have a job by the time the Raiders are ready to cash in on those draft picks?

The Sabathias all went as the blue people from Avatar, which is weird because who still thinks about that movie so long after the fact?

Maybe someone left a copy of a document in a bar.

For context, he was deriding the Boston media who didn’t believe in his team, not the Yankees or any other playoff competitor (never bury your opponent, it just makes you look weaker if you beat them). He was telling THEM to suck his dick because they DID score 16 runs in Yankee Stadium.

It’s always weird reading these from gamer parents, because I feel like half of them say stuff like “Playing games after you have a kid is easy! All they do is sleep!” and others say “The gaming light of my life has gone out forever”. I suppose it has to do with the ages but still.

One day it’s gonna turn out Toby Fox is actually an agent of chaos and people are just willing to run random .exes if he says to do so.

Yeah, at this point I’m glad Kim Ng got passed over for this job, because I don’t want Kim Ng to have to deal with the Wilpons.

Does this game have any relation to that Dark Corners of the Earth game that came out for a previous generation? It’s the one whose PC version doesn’t work on modern machines.

Yeah, once I found out Cthulhu dies in the story by being hit with a boat, and also that Lovecraft’s biggest fear was “the negroes”, I stopped taking any of that shit seriously.

Puig and his love of licking bats is exactly the kind of performative horniness I assume Gita would be into.

I don’t know how stringent Gamestop is with their console inspections, but this does just seem like they want to flood the market with peoples’ slightly broken Switches. Hope you enjoy busted joycons.

I’m shocked that a game that took 7+ years to make would feel a bit outdated and kludgey at times.

Yeah, I also had some misgivings about that quest with the Spartan supplies. Kassandra goes up to these starving civilians who are caught up in a war they want no part of and are just trying to live, and she starts berating them for “stealing” as if she didn’t murder and loot dozens of people to get to that point in…

How soon till Bethesda C+D’s this? ESPECIALLY with the new Fallout coming out so soon? They can easily claim brand confusion.

Baseball has a reverse draft system where the bad teams get to go first, hence the prevalence for “tanking” this season. The Red Sox and Yankees are generally pretty good, so they don’t usually get to draft the obvious/big college stars, and have to find other ways to build for the future.

Thought 1) I hope everyone is okay

I’m just glad the narrative seems to have shifted (rightfully so) from “Alex Cora is a genius” to “Alex Cora is good but also incredibly lucky”. Nothing in the stats indicated that the Red Sox were a 108 win team. They’ve wildly overperformed this season, with several of their players (both short term and long term)…

Dave Rose is also the “funny/quirky friend” on the new Magnum PI and it’s awful.
