Disagree. Hunter is the best player in cfb without a doubt, but jeanty had a better season and actually made the playoffs. I know there's a movement to give the heisman to the best players, but theres something to be said for letting guys like white, flutie, crouch, etc getting etched in history.

A lot of people see horror as jumpscares because that's the horror they can handle. It's why horror seems to have the most defined tropes. It takes a certain type to be able to handle that sense of unease/dread, let alone enjoy it.

In a sense, yes. Tech execs often put their best talent on trainwrecks, so they can save face on an otherwise bad call. If a product is moderately successful, they put the b squad on it and assume it's not going to impact sales or that modders will fix it.

Think how no mans sky or cp2077 improved.

Raise a glass to those that put a dope ascii logo at the top of their .txt opus.
