    I wish I liked bullet-hell shooters more. I love a good shmup but I do not have the quickness of perception+reflexes necessary to be any good at them.

    Matt's a really good fit for that world, and I think he's more than willing to really hammer in on the rules to make it more likely characters will die. I wonder if they'll have backup characters for a short season like this

    Good to hear! I've never watched Critical Role, so I'm not familiar with his style... but the high-lethality elements of Crown of Candy were a big part of what made that season great, and I'm curious if that'll continue with a new GM and shorter season.

    I'd imagine Matt's up for the challenge. What made Crown of Candy so dangerous is that Brennan would actively choose to kill downed characters, and set character creation up so that there were fewer opportunities for healing, and virtually none for resurrections. The players all having backup characters also helped a lot, because knowing that a player could come back shortly takes some of the pressure off of "we can't have this person away from the table that long."

    Matt's been...less merciful in the current campaign of Critical Role, and it's not like he routinely pulled punches before. Here's a brief rundown of what he's done so far:
    • Multiple NPCs have been killed with a poison that straight up prevents resurrection
    • Killed a player character like, four episodes in (though, this was apparently something he planned with the player, to an extent)
    • Killed three player characters in one battle, with the villain actively taunting another player character with their deaths
    • Threw the characters into a legit apocalypse starring a level 20+ wizard while the characters were like, level seven
    • Brought back multiple PCs from past campaigns only to: forcibly capture two, nearly assassinate one, and turn another into fuel to power the apocalypse
    • Let the heroes fail to fully stop the apocalypse
    • The heroes were then split into two groups and launched across the planet from each other
    • Various magic systems then broke, including magical communication, magical teleportation, and resurrection magic

    Feels pretty likely that he's up for the challenge of killing PCs and/or putting them in situations like we saw in Crown of Candy. If there was anything to suggest it might not be as high lethality as the original Crown of Candy, however, it'd be that there are only six episodes, and if a character were to die, it'd be harder to bring the player back with a new character. Or, you know, they might just run with a small table!

    Wait a minute. Marc Andre Fleury allowed 7 goals? In a playoff game?

    He really MAF'd it, I guess

    I'm not even sure why he was playing in the first place. Seems an odd choice.

    According to the random minnasota wild blog I was reading when I posted, this is the 2nd time in history that a coach has changed goalies after winning an OT playoff game, the other time being a guy that had only had 13 nhl starts in his career being pulled for Corey Crawford in one of the years the blackhawks won the cup.

    So it's still kinda weird to do.

    NCAA changed this rule about 8 years ago. Rarely matters.

    The idea that your vote is a moral statement about you or who you vote for is some backwards ass libertarian nonsense. Your vote is about society. Vote to protect the vulnerable.

    Someone at the bar said "sorry for changing to the mariners game, you can check the TV behind you if you're still watching" and I went "nah this game's over, it's 4 nothing with 5 minutes left"

    Lol.

    Go not-Boston!

    This overtime is great. Though it would be a lot better if Winnipeg ended it.

    If Landy talked to them during intermission last game maybe he should come out and just scream at them on bench from now on. Maybe they’ll show up for a first period.

    Never knew oleksiak could do that.

    He was also a penguin.

    I will repeat this post shortly once sprong gets his first playoff goal, too!
