    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    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...

    Every add and every person in the awesome dimension is white. His brother has no idea who the Kardashians are. White Dragon is a beloved hero. Even the terrorists were all white people. It is pretty clear what happened in that dimension to make it so awesome. Going to be interesting to see...

    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...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Agile (and similar workflows) can be very effective when used how it is designed to be used, namely development environments where you cannot predict scheduling and need a lot of smaller groups to work independently and quickly. It is absolutely the death of middle management, so they do all...

    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...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    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...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    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...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    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...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    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...

    So culturally a Jew then..... Look, we know the guy is a troll. There is zero disputing that. He takes contrarian positions on everything just to troll people and has done this for years. Three things he absolutely does not waver on are his love of Putin, his love of Cutler and the Bears...

    If the dude was a virgin at 30, he was the one with the issues, not you. And your soon to be ex not wanting to kiss should have been a red flag all along pointing at his level of respect for you and your marriage. Sorry you had to learn the hard way. Plus everyone is awkward at intimacy...

    Unfortunately invasion griefers are just how it is. The best advice I can give is to always have a way to cheese them based on what level you are. Assuming no twinking going in, the best option for early levels is going to be a plain old club or the estoc handaxe combo. Mid levels, the...

    What they should do is go out and get some of the OG devs who worked on New Vegas. A lot of those guys are available, now the In Exile is mostly tanking. Even with the bugs and shooter RPG aspects, New Vegas was arguably one of the best games of all time.
