I'll always stan for Transistor. I adore everything about that game. One of my all-timers.

Yup. "Unless you're going to be a doctor or a lawyer, do not pay for post-grad" was what my advisor told me years ago. I still had to work part-time because my stipend wasn't great, so I gave up on it early, but it was probably for the best. Could already see where this was going 10-15 years ago.

no wonder so many of them love AI. they see a machine cobbling together a mishmash of fact and fiction to pretend like it knows what it's talking about and they're like: "holy shit it thinks just like me! this thing is amazing!"

i've been in some of those meetings and it is mind-blowing just how fucking stupid some of these c-suiters can be. people who have fully embraced "fake it 'till you make it" as their guiding ethos, as they gleefully fake their way through life across the board.

Ha, no worries. There's also Curtis Martin and I thought Leonard Russell had too but looks like he came up a little short (959 in 1991).
Don't mind me, just over here reliving parts of my youth looking up rookie RB stats from 1990s Patriots teams.

Didn't Robert Edwards do it in 1998?

Yup, according to p-ref 4 of the 9 easiest SOS are AFC East teams. Patriots have just as many wins against teams over .500 as the Bills, who are two very fortunate 4th quarter TOs away from being 7-6 and fighting for their playoff lives, and that's against a bottom 10 schedule.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Neil Postman lines:
"To be unaware that technology comes equipped with a program for social change, to maintain that technology is neutral, to make the assumption that technology is always a friend to culture is, at this late hour, stupidity plain and simple."

given their schedule and injury situation, there's a very real possibility the Chargers don't win another game

People will argue schedule against Maye but Stafford is playing with a much better supporting cast, kind of cancels each other out. As long as Maye looks good in the two games after the bye against name brand competition (Bills, Ravens) and Patriots lock up the 1 seed, it's probably his.

it's one of the most idiosyncratic AAA games i've ever played. wasn't until years later before it clicked with me. there's times where it feels wildly audacious for its budget and other times where you wonder if they've ever played another video game before. sometimes those happen at the same time.

what baffles me about the misunderstandings around this is that it seems intuitively easy to understand.
it is better to know whether or not you will need an extra possession sooner rather than later, so that you can adjust your strategy accordingly. if you wait until the end, you can't do that.

I'm not quite at "fire Slot" yet but West Ham, Sunderland, and Leeds are the next three matches, so I can get there quickly.

I had to look it up because I thought for sure that those first couple months of 2021 were worse than this but nope, this is worse.

Yeah 2nd easiest SOS so far, 2nd hardest rest of the way. They still have to play the Jags and Texans twice each, so there's an outside chance they don't even win the division, nevermind the one seed.

betting markets are pricing the Colts below 30%, so anyone who believes these odds should go place a bet (respectfully, I do not believe these numbers, but DVOA is much higher on this Colts team that I am)
