    I have not hated a Cup winning team this much since the 90s Wings.

    Why, exactly? Because the complaints I hear fall into one of three categories:

    "The salary cap"': Salary caps are anti-labor gooseshit sold to fans as a measure to "enable competitiveness". So if you're going to argue about salary cap shenanigans, keep the fact that they're there purely to let billionaires pay less in mind.

    "The league is in the tank for Vegas": Because they didn't want to set up the team for failure out of the gate? The idea that expansion teams are obligated to get the castoffs from the league is not healthy for expanding the sport.

    "Vegas has been mercenary in their moves": This one I do have some sympathy for, but at the end of the day, the goal is to win - and as we're seeing in Oakland in MLB, having ownership that isn't looking to win winds up being a blight on the sport.

    Coming from a fan of a small market team, you are incredibly wrong on the salary cap.

    If you want competitiveness, there are other, better tools like revenue sharing. Salary caps exist purely to control player salaries.

    I admit I've gotten to the point that I can't watch/don't enjoy the NHL anymore, and actually didn't watch any live hockey this year. But I have no animosity towards Vegas, and I straight up think it's neat that the first major (ymmv) sporting trophy that Vegas has ever received is the Stanley Cup.

    Watching the FF7 REBIRTH trailer, and it suddenly stuck out to me that they used a bit from Keiki Kobayashi's Valkyrie theme as the music. Which, for an inhouse talent pool as deep as Square's, is something and hopefully a hint at more Kobayashi goodness to come.

    I didnt see a standalone hollow knight threat so i figure this is fine - like a week ago I gave hollow knight a fresh chance. My friend was being excited that someone made a multiworld randomizer and I was like "i did like that game but i had gotten hard stuck on soul master" when i played it 3-4 years ago.

    I had also been playing it on switch and there's something just bad about joycon platforming.

    So i started a new run on steam, got through hornet without a death, immediately died to environmental nonsense getting to the city like a champ, and then finally for the first time defeated the soul master. (three tries this time. as opposed to infinite without a win. I'm sure it helped lol, knowing the basic attacks it had)

    But man, I've been on a tear since then. This game is just phenomenal. I'm sure there were ways around soul master, but getting them dead and just making nonstop progress since then has been so satisfying. I've got a few zones left to fully delve but I think i'm heading to my last of the "bare minimum to unlock the final boss" seals and since I've been told you can continue from there to get the additional endings and DLC stuff, I'll probably try to make that push next.

    I find both the franchise and fan base extremely obnoxious. They also have some Grade A Assholes on the roster such as both McNabb (who basically ended the career of former Avs prospect Joey Hishon) and Kolesar (who went unsuspended after driving a jumping elbow into Bo Byram’s head causing him to miss most of a season).

    Every team has Grade A assholes on the roster, unfortunately.

    I could list a ton off the top of my head, but to show I'm not just saying "all the teams but mine do this!" I'll highlight the team I cheer for in the Oilers and signing Evander Kane. He is, by all accounts, a piece of poop. I really struggle with the fact that the Oilers signed him, and signed him again.

    Unfortunately, no team is immune from that.

    Yup, we (TBL) picked up noted goon Corey Perry (and Maroon gets up to his share of shit). Kucherov is also a brilliant baby who has committed his share of sins in little rage fits.

    The time skips they're doing in this series are extremely cool, I wish this was more of a thing in actual plays in general

    I ran my storm kings thunder campaign with huge time skips, so by the end one of the players had picked up playing their character's daughter because their main character was pretty old and retired

    it was a very satisfying campaign to complete because they basically spent a lifetime preventing the return of the caste system of the giants (literally the opposite of what the module wants you to do), with each of the giant lords fighting to preserve the old way (just, with them on top), out of fear of what it means for them to not have a divine life-path ordained for them

    To me the honour is sufficient of belonging to the universe – such a great universe, and so grand a scheme of things. Not even Death can rob me of that honour. For nothing can alter the fact that I HAVE lived; I HAVE BEEN I, if for ever so short a time. And when I am dead, the matter which composes my body is indestructible—and eternal, so that come what may to my 'Soul,' my dust will always be going on, each separate atom of me playing its separate part – I shall still have some sort of a finger in the pie. When I am dead, you can boil me, burn me, drown me, scatter me – but you cannot destroy me: my little atoms would merely deride such heavy vengeance. Death can do no more than kill you.

    This is also a petty complaint. (In the sense of inconvenience, not the legit response to a species-changing event.)
