Eons ago, there was a pretty obscure PS1 game called Treasures of the Deep in which you were a scuba diver, I would immerse (haha) myself in it and DNGAF about the mission. Same for FIFA-tyoe games with a good surround setup (that crowd noise), or ninja games like Trench (feudal Japan! Candlelight!). Good atmospherics…

May this movement catch fire like a mighty river.

Especially true at the DIII level*, where there’s no scholarships, little on the line as far as W-L, and you’re really just playing for the love of the game. As far as college basketball goes, the stakes literally get no lower. Coaches should be 100% focused on making sure the the players get something positive out of…

Gawker already answered this, no? His “hair” is a hair weave made out of his own hair and knotted in one strand at a time. Costs $60k IIRC.

True, but for those teams 2-5 wins down the stretch don’t make a difference anymore with the long-term approach. And it would cut down on other problems: I always thought it was bullshit that the Spurs were good, lost David Robinson for 1 season, and got Tim Freaking Duncan.

“All you need to know about the rest of the rotation is that a 26-year-old rookie named Maximilian Kleber came off the bench to score 12 points in 12 minutes while shooting 5-of-5 from the field, and probably got yelled at for it.”

“Rockie”?

In college, I played a lot of Foosball, and there was a pretty big circle of players. We all noted there was a certain type of mid-speed shot that slipped through a weird mental space in your opponent: it moved slow enough you thought your next line of players could block it (and you didn’t just jump right to blocking…

Japanese players always seem to have a “bad” spring. I read something somewhere that their concept of spring training is more focused on getting loose and practicing techniques than achieving outcomes. IIRC a number of Japanese stars had bad spring numbers and were fine in the regular season.

Renault Fuegos had cool door handles:

“Makes sense to me.”

Now he just needs to marry that female Delaware hoops legend, hyphenate, and become Delaware’s Demigod Donte Delle Donne-DiVincenzo.

Yeah, Fultz was built to exploit seams, and it may not even matter if he ever gets a reliable jumper. At some point, you get the sense Simmons-Embiid-Fultz is going to form Basketball Voltron and just eat the universe.

Sounds pretty good! Matzoh “pizza” is OK (pro tip: put cheese on top of the matzah then sauce to keep it a little crisper) but usu not worth effort. Matzah plus melted butter salt & pepper is pretty tasty.

Totally empathize, I would have *died* for rice most Passovers, and being able to eat it now would feel weird for sure. It’s not a religious thing for me as much as a tradition, so maybe I’ll just keep depriving myself!

Instead of trying weird recipes and “substitute” foods that never work out, I just eat WTF kosher l’pesach foods I want, when I want, and suffer the consequences later. So basically I eat nothing but matzoh w/peanut butter* as my staple dish, matzoh brie, fruit, yogurt, vegetables, potato chips, macaroons until the…
