Gotcha, I hadn't seen anyone but @Adebisi actually try and watch most of the Best Picture candidates and rank them, and he had Parasite pretty high on his list. So you think his ranking was shit, got it.

Well in general, it would have to be a movie to win Best Picture. Was it good enough to be say one of the top couple movies (in a year where maybe there was no clear "best", so that it was good enough to be considered in a group that if any of those won, it wouldn't be out of left field)

So they got it right with Parasite? Didn't see it, heard good things.

That was weird, at first I thought they didn't get the rights or something when the orchestra was playing over the video, then it made more sense.

Maybe I haven't watched the last few years but it seems like they're hammering through awards faster than normal? Most presenters doing 2 at a time?

It won a couple, but obviously the more minor stuff.

You can mount without having cleared areas now in Eureka

Yeah, definitely one of my favorites. Bob Gunton as Captain Maxwell does a really good job.

fucking scary people didn't realize that. Like guys, whatever expanded story/interactions we have with Biggs/Wedge/Jessie they're going to bite it. No, I don't need spoiler tags for that.

Stood on his head for it to even be 1-1 after the 1st. Maybe he could stop another goal or two but D looks like garbage in front of him. Samsonov is giving up at least 6 if they play same way in front of him (though I'm willing to listen to the idea that they play better in front of him).

Well with mementos eventually you're going to have every talent on the tree. Wonder if each individual covenant will be the same.

DC Defenders 1-0!

Shouldn't be too hard to figure out how many installments they'll make, probably only a few logical end points for episodes. Obviously leaving Midgar is one, right after the death scene is another.

The quoted "roles" on that caption are kind of amusing. The new captain doesn't seem all that young, maybe just in comparison to Picard. Also the former first officer doesn't seem hip in any way, more the grumpy old pragmatic friend.

I thought they said it would be something like the aldors/scryers shit was in TBC...requiring a quest or something to be done in order to switch? I'd assume they'd make it slightly easier than that was back at the time. At least I'd hope so.

There's always going to be a "best". Look at Azerite traits, you literally end up wanting the same pieces throughout the entire expansion for some/most classes (unless they made major nerfs/changes to OP abilities)...just higher ilevel.

yeah the idea of needing to maintain alts for splits is just crazytown. That example of someone having 4 shadow priests for potential covenant shit is just ridic.

Max said something about this in that Method probably felt a lot of pressure to NOT make certain changes that they probably have wanted to previously, but when you're winning you worry if you "fix" something it might actually break what was working. Limit didn't have to worry about this, and...

Wasn't it more like 11 after the extended maint?

We literally got almost all of the reveal this expansion, not sure what there would be to complain about to be honest. We'll see where it goes.

For whatever reason, I got the vibe that with the whole "JL" thing was kind of showing those two were never any sort of romantic potential.

Have to assume rest of this expansion will be Elidibus working out his plans and Zenos immersing himself more into the Zodiark lore. I'd also expect the next expansion (maybe some of the end of this one) to start to give us the "real" history of the Hydalyn side of the story.

I get what Khane is saying, because obviously there is a progression to the final fight that we even saw with Limit before they killed it...but it's still nice to see that many guilds at least even pulling the last boss before the race is won compared to previous tiers. It might still be...

Frankly I feel like everyone should hope that Edmonton makes the playoffs. McDavid is too fucking good to not want to see him there. It's pretty fucking sad we haven't built up to where McDavid v. MacKinnon isn't the expected WCF (maybe not expected, but at least with two strong teams that...

Of course I had to catch this episode recently. Caught 3rd episode of Picard. Pretty fucked up what they did with him and his first officer (?) when they cancelled the relief fleet. New ship guy seems seedy enough, new EMH doesn't hold a candle to The Doctor. Not sure I'm down with the...

Sounds like David Johnson is out from Arizona, Kenyan Drake going to get the nod I assume. Raiders seem to really be signaling they're trying to move on from Carr, too.

yeah I'm not ranking it above any of my favorite normal sports (special shout out for realizing hockey is god tier), but I was into watching them progress, and nice to have their comms and Max's coaching to see how they were making changes and figuring the fight out.

Limit openly commenting that they just didn't have the actual last phase ready to go, and just scrapped it and reverted to more of previous phase for the end. Obviously it's still very tight not filling up the whole room with shit so you have enough time to kill the boss in the end, but just...

Like 2.6%. Limit is going to do it.

I've seen some math were he probably needs a couple of more seasons at 40+ still. At some point the drop off will come where he's just going to manage 30-35 a year. If he only has to do that for like 3 years, he's got a shot.

It's weird because I feel our secondary scoring is pretty good this year in our top 6. Vrana is on pace for 35 (by far a career high), Oshie for 29, Kuznetsov 28 (would be a career high), and Wilson about 25 (would also be a career high). Carlson already has a career high I believe (crazy year...

It's so great to see all these young guns starting to change the goal scoring race and new guys getting to 40 goals first...wait, what?

Yes because just one generic set is more challenging than actually building the separate gear sets that a button shortcut allows you to swap between, or taking into account all of the strategies and playstyles for which gear sets are best for each specific pull/boss/scenario. How dumbed down...

I mean they were down 24-0 with only 11 minutes to go in 2nd quarter against Houston and were leading at halftime.

Against that Chiefs team? It's literally 5 minutes. Hell less if they actually settled for a field goal.

I agree he should have been more aggressive before halftime, but I can see the point of not wanting to make another mistake and going into half 10-10 while getting the ball first in the 2nd half. It's not even the 3 TD's in 9 minutes (because frankly the last one was whatever, and Williams...

Yeah on the 4th and 10 they clearly missed delay of game on the Niners...although ironically that would have just given them another chance with 4th and 15 instead of the sack they took, but yeah. Overall stuff evened out. I just liked his breakdowns showing actual context for why certain...
