    I have a weird question for all y'all sports fans on this here internet forum ostensibly tied to a video game webcomic:

    Say, in Thought Experiment Land, your favorite team for whatever, be that football, football, basketball, hockey, League, whatever, has a Big Series or Big Game with one of their rivals. Say, the Yanks and Sox meet in the ALCS. Or the Germans and the Dutch face off in the World Cup finals. Or whatever. The good news is that you somehow know that your favorites are going to win. Congrats! Would you rather that game be a close but well-played affair? Or would you rather want your opponents be utterly incompetent and fall flat on their faces?

    I've always felt the close/exciting game was more appealing and I figure most people feel this way

    but just for the alternative viewpoint, my dad always said he'd prefer the blowout because it would be less stressful. I always figured people would want that for the humiliation aspect but my dad was just looking to be able to relax early.

    Good close games are better to watch as long as they are played well and not teams trying to hurt each other

    This.

    See: Japan v South Africa at the Rugby World Cup 2015. That is one of the finest matches I've ever watched.

    Mostly I was trying to gauge how spiteful sports fans are, that's why I specified rival team. Weighing how much you want to see your rival suffer versus how much you want to see a good game.

    Unless South Africa and Japan have a long and spirited history versus one another I just don't know about, in which case, point conceded

    There are many guitars I’d love to own if not for *gestures feebly at place in society*

    An acquaintance showed me his guitar collection while we waiting on the party bus they booked for his wife's 30th birthday to arrive.

    Two walls of his basement living room were literally covered in guitars.

    He said he was actually looking to sell almost all of them because it his wife pointed out to him that he had over $50k just hanging on the walls.

    She asked him how he'd feel if he had that in $100s coating the walls and he went hmm wait yeah I literally only play three of them ok this is getting dumb.

    Blowout. So severe the fans rend their souvenir jerseys in twain out of shame. Players' wives divorcing them, their mistresses abandoning them. As soon as the game ends the stadium is demolished, completely leveled, paved flat. Google is paid to wipe all traces of them from the internet, and unlike that Beyonce picture they actually do it. The UN unanimously passes a resolution mandating all 7+ billion people on Earth must have implanted in their larynx a noise cancelling device tuned to the name of the losing team so if anyone ever accidentally utters said team name it blanks the sound of it completely so no one else must suffer from hearing it spoken.

    I personally can’t imagine regularly playing dozens of guitars. My max number I could imagine having in regular rotation is like... 8? And for that I’d need to basically be the idle rich with unlimited playtime.

    it's worth remembering that it's more heartbreaking to lose in the closing moments, and baseball (my preferred sport and your example) you can come back from a blowout in the very last inning if your goal was #1 biggest demoralization for the opponent.

    getting blown out in decisive games sucks mostly only if you're watching at a bar or at the game and you can't just walk away. otherwise being blown out is much easier to take imo than a tight loss. you can start digesting it hours sooner.

    Oh, in that case I can only offer that, based on the Rangers, Celtic, Hearts, and Hibs fans I know, they want to see their opponents eviscerated and humiliated

    I have never seen Celtic fans happier than during the Sevco debacle which saw Rangers relegated to League Two (which is, confusingly, the fourth tier of Scottish football)

    Oh, uh, it is my understanding that Manchester City, at least before being injected with illegal amounts of money, has fallen prey to a phenomenon known as "Typical City" whereby any success City could have would be snatched away at the last second, or any City did have would be undercut in a painful and humiliating way. The implication being, even after being guaranteed a win by Omnipotent Thought Experiment Land God, they would still find a way to lose because they're that pathetic. (Edit: or, at least they used to be before being bought by the Emirates)

    @visiblehowl broooo i'm having widget flashbacks. not exactly the same thing but: my roommate's cat is indoor-outdoor. it sort of bothers me because we live in a fairly rural little roundabout, foxes, hawks etc. but i don't know shit about cat ownership so w-e, not something i feel i can comment on strongly. but now my roommate is away for 5 days and she told me she's paying a cat sitter to stop by 'once a day', to scoop litter and change water and whatever? but that person came before i left for work today, i just got home and the cat was outside pawing at the door. 9+ hours outside in the middle of june?

    idk, maybe that's ok with my roommate. but my guess is the lady just let her out and then left. i am gonna text my roommate but man

    outdoor pets aren't for me. i can just imagine some bird of prey fucking up this cat. i'm not even close to the cat and it turns my stomach. :<

    When Dan and I lived in rural maryland, our neighbors/landlords had an indoor/outdoor cat and during the brutal winter he would come follow us inside, and we were like, ok, on the one hand Dan is allergic and our house should be cat free, but on the other hand how are our landlords ok with this poor cat being outside when it's negative degrees and snowing? So we let the cat sit in our house and warm up and called the landlords to come fetch him...

    We once took in a kitten for a day when we found it shivering on our porch. We figured out it lived a few houses away the day after.

    It immediately had diarrhea in my shoe.
