    I feel like if I didn't want Navia, Clorinde, Furina, Arlecchino....etc. I would grab Neuvillette. I have like 350 wishes at the moment, not counting primos from the new area, the lantern rite stuff coming up, and some other stuff, so I'm not in the worst place, but I definitely want to minimize my pulling when I can.

    Vegas has set up their own "Knights+" service in case Bally's catches fire, and rumor is that other teams are starting to follow suit.

    Vegas wasn't Ballys, they were on AT&T Sportsnet, which Bruce Wayne closed down, that's why they ended up on those local channels.

    But the point does remain that if Bally's does end up surrendering the rights of at least some NHL teams it's going to be a bit of a mess. Some teams could set up a streaming service, there is some opportunity to air it on local broadcast channels like Vegas did.

    While the NHL did cede out of market streaming to ESPN and Sportsnet in North America, it does still provide a streaming service for global audiences. There's a chance the league takes over the local broadcast rights for any team that loses Bally's and streams the games to those markets that way. That's what MLB did for a couple teams when Bally's dropped out.

    Hoping that the pens follow suit, which it's my understanding that the fenway sports group / NESN thing is a good indicator that the pens games will be available on streaming for a price

    MSG+ is adding a $9.99 per game option this year, though i'm not super sure how it would work in practice as i'd only do that for a game that's not on ESPN+, but that's usually only the case if it's on national broadcast

    Chlorinde is a solid maybe. I really like her design, but not so much as a character so far? She's like all Kaeya's edge with none of the charm (and I already dislike Kaeya). But I do like electro characters an awful lot.

    Navia I really like as a character, but I really don't like her outfit. Really want to see less women in heels please (one of the reasons I'm really pushing myself to play Lynette more, she wears boots!).

    Not sure where I sit with Sigewinne. She's a melsuine which is cool, but the human face turns it weird again. If she was a straight melsuine there would be no question.

    Charlotte is a must. Cryo catalyst that attacks with a camera, that rules.

    Arlecchino is a villain, not pulling for her please ignore my c6 Childe we're not talking about that right now lalala can't hear you!

    Charlotte is interesting, and she's also a freebie anyways with Furina so I'll hopefully get a couple cons on her.

    Navia I love as a character so if her kit's interesting at all she's a must pull. Chlorinde is... well, yeah, I love electro units.

    Sigewinne I want because she's a fun character. The awkward design is a minus but her personality in the world quest makes up for it.

    I like Clorinde’s character (two Crowning Moments of Awesome in one patch?!) but I really, really hate her outfit.

    Boob window *with* straining buttons? Gross. I can tell you as a woman with a large bustline, we do NOT like button-up shirts that don’t fit properly.

    I have the Mouse/Hulu/Espn package. I hope that allows me to watch some Lightning games this year. They are normally on the Sunshine network or Sunshine Sports. Which is only available on the highest tier package from cable, to which I do not have a package at all anymore.

    if you're in the Lightning regional area, only the games on ESPN/ABC/Hulu will be available. you should be able to go to the lightning website and look at their schedule to see.

    Whelp.. learning experience.

    I thought that the way you make seams disappear was to plastic cement together, and then apply a light layer of plastic cement over the seam/joint to smooth things. Turns out.. that is likely not all to the equation.

    I think all of that can buff out with sanding. but this is what I get for going on vibes rather than researching the technique.

    My understanding is you plastic cement the parts, then press them together enough that a bit of the plastic that’s melting squishes out

    Then, yes, much sanding to remove the ridge of raised plastic that results from that, there’s no real way around it

    it's under Disney now so you can bundle it with Disney+ or Hulu or just get it standalone

    Over the weekend a friend asked me what OTP meant so I told her about 'One True Pairing' and how I thought it used to stand for on the page and the fact you can never tell if it actually means the real canon relationship or just the person's favorite

    Anyway turns out those single use numbers you get texted to log in to stuff got named One-Time Pass or OTP somewhere along the line and I will never live this down

    ESPN and ESPN+ are two different things.

    ESPN+ is a streaming service. It does not air the ESPN cable channels, it has its own content separate from what it on the ESPN channels on TV. But ESPN+ does have some overlap with content on ESPN proper, where some content is shown on both TV and the streaming service. To use the NHL as an example, Disney has games that air exclusively on ESPN+. Those games are not available on ESPN on TV, only ESPN+. Generally, the way that the company has been doing it to this point is that things that are on ESPN on TV are not on ESPN+, but games shown on ABC end up on ESPN+. That's changing a bit this year with some NHL games airing on both ESPN and ESPN+, but not all.

    In a way, ESPN+ and the NHL were trailblazers in terms of putting games from the big 4 streaming only. The NHL was the first league to do it, and now you're seeing it happen more and more.

    The long way around this is that eventually ESPN+ will be the way to watch all ESPN content. But because ESPN on TV is still the big cash cow (though a declining one), the company has to protect the linear TV. So over time, more content will be added to ESPN+. There will be more simulcasts between ESPN and ESPN+, and one day, you will be able to get all of ESPN through the ESPN+ streaming service.

    is this because of google updating the messages app?

    because it is the worst design decision to have a prompt that asks you to automatically delete acronym messages without defining the acronym

    and the first google result for me was one true pairing anyways

    I understand that ESPN and ESPN+ are different things. I'm saying that in order to access ESPN+, they make you verify that you have cable tv through a carrier that has ESPN.

    No. This is not true at all. ESPN+ is a $10/month standalone service. You can go to the ESPN+ website and get it. Or you can get it in a bundle that includes Hulu and Disney+ for $13/month.

    I'm not quite sure dporowski is talking about the same thing. I subscribed through the Disney bundle, and my (relatively new) won't even download the ESPN+ app, I have to run it through my Xbox. It sounds like dporowski is saying he subscribed to the service via his cable provider -- am I reading that right?

    There is no ESPN+ dedicated app. It streams through the ESPN app. So you run the app, log in with your ESPN+ credentials, and watch there.

    you can also just go to plus.espn.com, which is the ESPN+ website, and see that it is a standalone service that you can subscribe to, or subscribe to as part of the Disney bundle as you said, and log in there to watch the ESPN+ content.

    But. you. do. not. need. a. cable. subscription. to. subscribe. to. ESPN+.

    Project Wingman finally dropped on the PlayStation Store today. This is a friendly reminder that games that are about planes that go fast and blow things up all seem to have soundtracks that go unnecessarily hard.

    the soundtrack is an essential part of the Legally Distinct NOT Ace Combat energy of that entire game.

    I actually listen to an extended version of "King's Court" instead of the default music when I play SWTOR's starfighter matches.
