My favorite @cleguardians.com move? Kwan staying put. A nice return for Bieber too but I really hope we get an extension for Kwan, not a trade.

Happy Trade Deadline day to all who observe it.

Fallout 4 just doesn't hit the same anymore. I played it now with the new patches and the DLC and it's fine? But it's aged pretty badly, the combat isn't as enjoyable for me as it used to be.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Starfield, and Mass Effect: Andromeda are all good but flawed games that get wayyy too much shit by comparison to other games (BG3, Skyrim, original ME trilogy) they happened to come after. Play them for yourself, don't listen to randos on the internet. (Except me.)

Hi all! Because I am an absolute potato, I missed that some of my recent Slay the Spire videos were only showing the menu screen or some other minor screen. It turned out I had some OBS settings done incorrectly. Thanks to those of you who let me know there was an issue!

Just finished my first playthrough of Whispers of a Machine by @rawfury.bsky.social; enjoyed it a lot, especially recognizing the voice of @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social. Highly recommended if you want to check out! It's only $2.99!

A little bummed about the Miko Rantanen - he's been so great for the Avs, but better to trade him than risking losing him for nothing. Necas and Drury seem like they'll fit in okay, and a 2nd rounder is nice, but I will miss Miko 100%. For the Canes, signing Miko is the key to making it work.

Congrats to Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner, Dave Parker, the late Dick Allen, Tom Hamilton, and Thomas Boswell! CC and Hammy are the two who really defined my baseball fandom in the 1990s, but a big fan of all of the others too. Looks like Beltran and Andruw get in next year (probably)!

If you have ever smugly typed or said "Hall of Very Good" unironically, you're a condescending jerk. Be as big or small HOF as you want, but it's in or out, and you win no points by pretending they belong in a fictional, lesser HOF.

For channel fans: no video today, I completely forgot to record because I lost track of the days LMAO. Slay the Spire starts up on Monday, and we'll have new OOTP next Friday. Happy holidays, all!

Finished my first run of Dragon Age: Veilguard. What a fantastic game! Great characters and setting, fun to explore. Highly recommended! Onto the next!

Talked with PEGI and they do not see anything wrong Balatro being rated 18+, nor with EA sports FC (and similar games) having a 3+ rating

Blaming EU laws, blaming storefronts, waiting for the future. Sitting on their hands

I thought some good might come of this, this sucks

Oh my gosh, this is such a good idea! I genuinely never thought of this.
Throughout my career I’ve collected a nice set of Strong Opinions about relatively unimportant things. Here’s one: Don’t end your talk with a slide that just says “Thanks!” or “Questions?” The slide that remains up during audience questions should be a summary of your main points

I still think the dumbest post responsible to sports analytics is "did you even play the game", but bullshit like "eye test" and "you clearly don't watch the games" is right up there. Analytics aren't flawless but that's such a childish response.

Been thinking over this one from Cleveland's perspective. 2022 Gimenez wasn't walking through that door, and the price tag wasn't worth it. A good deal for some solid pitchers and hopefully money to be reinvested (Kwan or Naylor extension?)

Hi all! Made the jump over from Twitter. I'm a gaming YouTuber who mostly does #OutoftheParkBaseball videos every Monday and Friday. I've done lots of other games as well, from Skyrim to Victoria 3, and will do more in the future! I also love board games and TTRPGs. Check out my channel if you like!
