    The only quality win that the bills have had in retrospect , has been tampa bay and that was week one. I That ravens win is starting to look a lot less impressive with the way they've been playing. think the bills might be cooked unless they can get healthy on defense again.

    Grinding in FFT can be a thing, its just way less tedious if you do it right (surround last chocobo in a fight with chakra guys is the easiest speed grind, Dance and Bardsong is the fastest). But its not really essential to completing the game. Disgea has some ludicrous "Change to next version...

    Disgea and all the related games (asside from maybe Lapucel) are just puzzlers and grinders. The AI in those is pure retardation. I don't even consider them tactics games, just grindfests.

    Yeah most of those might not work type things test based on Faith. Teleport is no exception, but Autopotion is the most obviously affected. As for the Teleport hate, early grind up to a teleporter is one of the main ways to bust the game's more difficult early story fights. Galfgarrion at the...

    The OG TO system had some cons to it (mainly in how grindy it was when you changed jobs, snap dragon weapons being massively OP, and the hidden chaos frame faction system), but it had upsides to it as well, like being able to cultivate stat gains on the characters more and a larger fight roster...

    That was some serious Chargering by the Lams last night. I get not settling for a tie. And with the way their D was gassed, I get going for it at the end there. But holy fuck is that going to eat away at them for a while.

    PS- They left the perma boost Bravery thing in the game for some reason (Steel on Razma in Ch2 is the earliest way to abuse it) which can let you get everyone to Bravery 100 permanently if you want (not even that grindy) which probably breaks the game more than anything else. A lot of skills...

    Steal Weapon trivializes Wiegraf and a lot of enemies like him. If you are getting one shotted and don't want to cheese him with steal, you need to bring classes that can gear up more HP like Knights. There is a general tendency for players to be deep into the Monk phase of leveling up and...

    Gotta side with Cutlery on this one, but thats really a decision you need to make personally. I had a bad run for a while when I was younger and they put me on some mild levelers and it basically turned me into a zombie person. At that point, if I am not the same person and unaware of things...

    Major issue this season is having (aside from being so long between seasons) is the lack of a antagonist with agency. This is the typical WB type shit where the heroes themselves are the source of all of their own problems and everyone lies to each other to create stupid drama. The butterfly...

    Did not need them for how dominant our ball control was. At one point in the third quarter, we had 2-1 time of possession plus we had back to back 90+ yard drives for scores. That is going to win you some games.

    Speaking as a Packer fan, that game went exceedingly well. I think that looking at the last two games, this might be the best GB D that I have seen in my lifetime. On the Offense, we pretty much overpowered the Commies with two of our O Line starters out which is god damn amazing. Love is...

    Alien: Earth

    Not defending this show, but Aliens are shown to be pretty much physically stronger than humans by a significant margin from as early as the OG movie. Some of that may or may not be due to their complete willingness to destroy themselves to accomplish a goal, but the aliens have clearly always...

    After further review, the Bears still suck. They looked good in the first half, but if you really dig into the stats they still only managed 10 points of offense (that Pick 6 was a gift from JJ McCarthy) and never really moved the ball after the second quarter, outside of one garbage time TD...

    I cant agree on Midir, but concede everyone finds different bosses as the hardest. And yeah so many bosses can be beat by rolling into them, but it is so counter intuitive that it does not occur to most players.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    PS- If you liked Seikero (I never was interested, too much twitch), the Midir fight is very much in line with that. One or two Parries will end the entire fight. Failing that, holy damage is the only thing that can do real damage to him. He remains the Boss I consider the hardest in the...

    Well Bael (after the first attempt) just randomly either breath blasts you or turbo rape charges you, making getting Egon out (or any summon if you are doing those) very difficult. Aside from that coinflip, his moves are very readable and predictable, plus his mega AEs all have safe spots close...

    Radahn is pretty damn tough in the grand scheme of souls games, but I don't think he is the hardest boss ever, unless you are either making the fight hard or are trying to pure caster that shit. Melenia demands more perfect execution and/or specific builds to solo, so she is at the minimum...

    We already went through this exact scenario when we decided to pass on Kalil Mack in favor of the two mid tier guys we signed. Mack went on to terrorize us and the two other guys were never healthy at the same time while costing us nearly as much as Mack. And before that when we went and got...

    The way the money is spread out it leaves us with a lot of options and space, especially with clearing Clark off the roster. Clark was good for us, but he has fell off a cliff the last two years and his run D stats are worse than Parson's were last year so I am not to worried about him going...

    Unga Bunga is actually the easiest way to beat Bayle, assuming you are good at avoiding his grab and playing without target lock. Couple good stuns and hyperarmor trades make that fight really fast.

    This sort of rationalization only makes sense if Jerrah had done this shit much earlier in the offseason. As it is, we got Parsons for two picks we likely won't need and in a contract that is very cap friendly. And (barring injury) Parsons fills a major hole in our defense, even if he misses...

    Any NPC who is summoned inside the Fog wall does not scale up the fight. So like Egon against Bayle, the Mogh warrior dude against the NPC horde, and dude who helps you against Mesmer all fall into this category. Egon is pretty much unkillable, too, iirc. As for summons, its really about who...

    Bayle was all about getting through the initial 20 seconds and stabilizing the fight. If you had one of any number of strong weapon arts with range, he gets even easier. I think the last time I ran through the game I was about Scadoosh level 14ish and doing a Salurian (sp?) spear build...
