Having worked in community management, it's also crucial that the powers-that-be approve of your doing this and that they won't have a fit over you driving away a "paying customer" (who also happens to be a massive jerk).

I've been watching Barney Miller lately, and there's one episode where Detective Harris gets a tip that he should invest in zinc. I bet he'd be really mad about this.

When she lived in Duluth, my sister worked for the publisher that made this book. My parents got a copy, and I read through it, had a lot of interesting stories: www.abebooks.com/servlet/Book...

Even better is the list of guys who have only beaten 31 teams.

It's got some greats:

Rodgers
Roethlisberger
Mahomes

Some pretty good QBs:

Alex Smith
Russ
Stafford

And, somehow... Kerry Collins.

Cyanide or arsenic?

Load times on my games have been cut in half or more since I got my new computer.

Holy shit, I became a Jets fan when they won me a game in a picks league in 1990, 35 years ago.

Lasted about 10 years, then I stopped.

The gameplay and writing were excellent, and the overall level of polish impressed me. I lauded its tooltips, which were reminiscent of games like BG3 and Crusader Kings 3, and should be more standard in games.

Added it to my wishlist!

High-level, pro play is vastly different from what us peons experience. I almost always play tank too because usually 3-4 people want to play DPS.

Overwatch had the same issue. Pro teams were going 3-3 tank-healer, even as the masses all wanted to play DPS. It was bad on both ends.

And that one weird Thursday game in late October so they wouldn't conflict with the World Series

It makes me wonder how much we constantly online people know as compared to the average person.

My dad never went online, not once. All he would have seen of Trump was semi-sanitized news clips. He never saw his tweets, his rambling videos, etc. Stuff like that needs to reach the average voter.

The reason I wanted a PlayStation in the first place instead of a Nintendo 64 (I owned an NES and SNES) was because the Final Fantasy series was switching from Nintendo to PS. FF7 was coming out later that year, and I *had* to have it. Man, those were the days.
