    ???

    Eh, that's what some players like. Preseason is as much about getting your body and mind used to regular season games and it isn't like Crosby is a 10 minute per game guy in the regular season. So if you're going to play him, why play him in a way he's not going to play most of the time.

    That's also why the stars only play 2-3 preseason games. get them into a couple, and then leave the rest for the guys who actually need the ice time to try to earn spots, etc.

    I’m hoping if we eventually get a G-Self it won’t be Ver.Ka, since Katoki will almost certainly give it normal sized eyes, instead of the bigger, more emotive eyes that I think are an intrinsic part to the G-Self’s look.

    This may seem like a dumb question at this stage, but apart from a travel passive is there any difference at all in what character you use to swim around with? Related: Does Kokomi's "less stamina drain" passive work for the diving stamina also?

    I am, shall we say, proper chuffed that Charlotte will probably be on Furina's banner. I will be quite pleased to get them both as it hurts me to skip Wriothesley.

    Some Ascension passives work underwater and some weapon passives work underwater apparently. I've heard of a lot of people using Dehya since her passive restores HP after she drops past 40% (with a 20 second cooldown).

    Characters that have innate Ousia/Pneuma also have it underwater, so if you want to avoid looking for the orbs, you can just swim around with HMC and Lynette (provided you have no other Fontaine characters, obviously you can swap them for someone else if you have them) and use them.

    Hitting something glowing one color with the opposite does things, basically.

    So again, if I'm not using someone with a relevant ascension passive... it doesn't matter who I dive with? Like, does their level impact how much damage they do with the underwater powers, etc?

    No, the underwater powers are all the same no matter who you're using. The difference are just basically the passive abilities and the awesome dolphin jump that you can do with Fontaine characters and HMC.

    Just finished cruising through the spiral abyss with using Neuvillete on one side and Hu Tao on the other. Hu Tao smashing things in the abyss is nothing new, but I'm happy to see Neuvillete performing well at only level 70; lot of room for improvement. I swapped Zhongli to the Hu Tao team, so I filled in with Layla, and it was fine. Her shield broke a good few times in floor 12 (she's C0 and not fully leveled or well geared, so that's not surprising), but Neuvillette's self healing and the healing from prototype amber was enough to keep everyone going. Did get hit out of a couple beams, though, which was unfortunate.

    Following up on this to say that the new floors 11 and 12 didn't fare much better against the Neuvillette and Hu Tao teams (although Neuvillette is level 80 now). I did notably decide to swap Raiden out for Shinobu on floor 12 though, figured I'd need the healing for the rifthounds. Range issues on her circle turned out to be a pretty substantial issue, but not enough that I was in any danger of failing any of the 3-star requirements.

    Oh hey! With some help from some friends, I got through the first phase of assembling my painting contest model, and my first "finished" gunpla in a bit!

    lGXFJ1Oh.jpg

    elyYu3Sh.jpg

    Now to do this right... priming, painting, and figuring out a color scheme. Though I got some good suggestions today.

    This is actually my first time gluing a gunpla together. For now I've only done the large leg bits, because the seams are so obvious on it and I want to sand those down. But after I prime, I'm going to glue more pieces. I've disassembled the chest for now to assist as well.

    Oh damn. I completely forgot (somehow) that Eva-01 is pruple/green. I'm going to need to stay away from that color scheme. Ahava recommended to me going with an Orange/Teal/Purple (and/or gold) look, but I'm worried it may be too bright. Dunno yet.

    Finally was able to get Neuvillette to level 90, and crowned his NA talent. Went to see what kinda numbers I could get against some ruin guards, and am getting his beams to crit for almost 42k. Seems good.

    Admittedly, it's not usually going to do that much. That's with three reactions, and with Kazuha using Freedom-Sworn, and with Zhongli using Archaic Petra. And it's also before his health drain drops him below 80%, so damage will start decreasing after a few ticks. Still! That strikes me as really good, considering he's C0 and using the Prototype Amber.

    The best thing I'll say about Neuvillette is that he feels really good to use. As far as meta is concerned, it wouldn't surprise me at all if saving for Furina is a better idea. And as far as character personality/design is concerned, I probably like both her and Wriothesley more than Neuvillete, as well. Still, I'm having a great time.

    He looks fun, but there’s def a lot going on to get him up to Death Star.

    “Ha ha laser go brr” does pretty well (at least for my 9yo) even without max investment/skill (and uh, Skill).

    I feel no qualm skipping him for now, because I also believe Furina will be better and actually easier to use. (Plus I’m hoarding Archons).

    He’s splashy (hah) and fun to play to drain our wishes away from her!

    Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls. We are now just over a week away from the start of the NHL season. Here is the media/TV/streaming information for the upcoming year.

    Canada:

    This is year 10 of 12 of the current national contract. Sportsnet continues to hold the rights to all national games. Those are under the Monday Night Hockey, Wednesday Night Hockey, and Hockey Night in Canada banner (the latter being on Saturdays, primarily). The vast majority of those games will feature at least one Canadian team. Sportsnet will also broadcast some US-US team games througout the season, beginning with the opening night games.

    Regionally it is status quo. Sportsnet owns the regional rights to Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton, meaning every single game of those three teams will be on a sportsnet channel, or CBC. Winnipeg, Ottawa, and Montreal's regional games are owned by TSN. Toronto's 26 regional games are split, with 13 being aired by TSN, 13 by Sportsnet.

    Streaming is a bit of a mess

    Sportsnet + (the renamed Sportsnet Now product) has the streaming rights to out of market games, at the Sportsnet+ Premium tier.

    At the regional game level, the base Sportnet + allows you to watch in market regional games (i.e. someone in Edmonton can watch Edmonton games streaming). TSN has a similar streaming package for regional games.

    But if you're in Vancouver and want to watch every Canadiens game, you need Sportsnet+ Premium.

    There are more/bigger changes for the US.

    This is year 3 of 7 of the current rights deal there, with the networks of Mickey Mouse and the networks of Bruce Wayne owning the national rights. (That's ESPN/ABC and Warner Bros. Discovery sports (formerly turner sports)).

    Mickey has significantly expanded the number of games it will air on TV this year There are somewhere around 32 games that will air on ESPN, and 17 games on ABC. There will be somewhere around 60 games available on ESPN+/HULU. Most of Mickey's games air on Tuesday, Thursday, and the ABC games are saturday. The all star game is on ABC, and ESPN airs the Stadium series.

    ESPN+ also holds the rights to the out of market streaming service. This means that ESPN+ has access to every out of market game that isn't a nationally televised game.

    Bruce Wayne airs doubleheader games on Wednesdays, extra games on Sundays late in the season, and the Winter classic. Most games air on TNT, under the NHL on TNT banner. TBS, TruTV, and HLN (of all places) is used for overflow.

    Bruce Wayne is also activating its rights to stream its games. Starting this year, NHL on TNT games wills stream on Max, the artist formerly known as HBO Max. Max's sports streaming offering is under The Bleacher Report brand, and encompasses all of Bruce Wayne's sports rights, including MLB, NBA, and NHL. it is free for Max subscribers now, with it becoming a paid tier on top of Max in February.

    The bigger shakeup is in regional rights in the US. The diamond sports group bankruptcy is not resolved, and could cause big changes at any time. There are 12 teams with regional games on Bally's sports, and there is a chance those get pulled at some point. It is a big unknown, with the weird caveat that the Kings renewed their Bally's deal this year. But this is a wait and see situation.

    Vegas' regional games are now on KMCC in the Vegas area and KUPX in Salt Lake city. This is under the Scripps sports banner. This happened becuase AT+T sportsnet closed.

    The Pens regional games also air on what used to be called AT&T Sportsnet. But the Pens parent company, Fenway sports, bought it, renamed it SportsNet Pittsburgh, and folding it into NESN, which will operate it now.

    and the last one of note is the NBC Sports Washington is now Momentum Sports Washington, as the Caps/Wizards bought it a couple years ago and have finally transitioned it to their operation.

    oh and in the US NHL Network still airs the odd random game here and there.

    you can, with a subscription to Sportsnet+ Premium.

    But literally every team has regional broadcasts. There are teams that make more money from their regional broadcasts than they do from national ones. This is why they're protected so much.

    I also completley forgot to include the streaming info for anything but ESPN+, so I'm going to edit the post now.
