I remember reading every one of her pieces and thinking it was impressive that ESPN had the self-awareness to hire someone to call them out like that, before recognizing it was just for show and they had no intention of listening to any of it.

Yeah but just look what happens when you actually try and drive it.

It just kind of felt like they’d abandoned the regular and casual player to cater to the smallest subset of the hardest, hardcore. I wasn’t even a casual player, I was putting 20+ hours a week into that damn thing for years and it just got to be too much.

Hot dogs are sandwiches. The dress was white and gold. And the best way to eat salad is in a wrap, which means salads are also sandwiches.

Windows go both ways, that’s just how they work. If you have some expectation of privacy next to an uncovered window, you’re expecting incorrectly.

I’d love to read an explanation of what prevents store operators from continuing to host the download for users that have already bought the game. Certainly they’re not obligated to, but it would cost them basically nothing. Maybe that’s what’s going to happen and this statement is just alerting customers that after…

For the paper products guy, you can skip napkins and have paper towels pull double duty. The rest of them are necessary as Drew explains.

I’ve done that shit with NO communication because we all knew the mechanics.

Its interesting to me because if the future starts heading toward streaming, Microsoft and Google have a worldwide datacenter infrastructure advantage that Sony really can’t match. I wonder what MS is getting in return for giving up that advantage to one of its primary competitors. It would be disappointing if its…

The effort required to go onto a LFG site and link up with other people essentially acts as a filter for the low-effort shitheads you’d end up with if you stuck normal matchmaking in there. You’re having success with randos (and so have I) but you’re also getting a better pool of randos than you would otherwise.

Boston has a roster specifically designed to exploit this kind of thing. Hayward, Tatum, Brown, and Morris are all roughly the same size and are roughly all somewhere between “good” and “very good” on any given night. It allows them to set the offensive gameplan to “give the ball to whoever <worst wing defender> is…

Isn’t this basically what you’d say regardless of if you planned to make major strategic adjustments or not?

If not a single one of the other guys on the roster are any good, that’s still enough to comfortably get to the 2nd round of the playoffs.

Good piece, but those last two sentences are bad and he should feel bad.

This was way less sarcastic than I was expecting it to be.

Yeah I don't want to overreact, but I feel confident in saying this ump is a bad person. 

Jason I love your stuff but this one feels pretty thin. Its basically, “studio publicly known to be in turmoil is in the early stages of their next game. Who knows what will happen next?”

An all-time great. That said, I played it again recently and found it super jarring that everyone talks except the main character.

No doubt Kraft will be kneeling for the anthem during next season’s opener.

Man, I think red onions are my favorite onions, specifically when raw, because they pack so much punch. A quick scan of this comments section shows that this is apparently an extremely unpopular opinion and now I feel like those standing-wiper freaks.
