Why does it matter that the Witness lured us into the Veil to assure regardless of whether or not Calus succeeded he'd have a way to link to the Veil? What exactly did he do to the Traveler? What in the hell actually happened because we still have the Light. This felt grander and still less impactful than what happened at the start of the Red War, somehow.

Having completed the main campaign, I'm not mad about it. Maybe it's because I'm a day one Destiny guy, and to me it seems obvious that the Veil is likely a paracausal product of the Light (or a third entity in itself) but the not being told thing doesn't kill me as much as it initially did. I mean, SHOULD they have done something in the main story, specifically in one of those well-done Osiris cutscenes, that fully explains at least what the Veil is and how it came to be on Neomuna? Yes. Chase The MacGuffin is less satisfying when nothing about it is told apart from "this powers the city of Neomuna".

About halfway through Lightfall and I gotta say, I'm digging the story. Is it a bit bare early? Yes. I know the who, what, when and where but the why is sort of...disjointed? Idk. I both like and hate how they're introducing Strand. Stasis was brought in a little better imo. But the theme so far, of seeing the true nature of both the Light and the Darkness, I really like that

Depending how you view this trade will determine the winner. If Stroud or Young absolutely crush it out the gate? We won. We have picks to nab a solid receiver this draft and get depth in spots we need it. Potentially elite level QBs are hard to come by. On the other hand, the Bears got another solid receiver to add to their offense and draft picks to help out their OL and defense. They have a lot of potential moving forward because of this trade, and they only lost 8 spots to do it. We didn't give up much to move to 1, but from a Chicago perspective, I guess they view it as they gained a lot so we must have been fleeced. All in how you value it.

That was damn near a 1:1 with the game and I like that. This was a peak moment of the game that they had to get right and they absolutely nailed it. Subtle changes that make sense, the core and heart of the moments being the same. This is how you adapt media btw. Every show adaptation of comics and video games need to take note. Doesn't hurt that Druckmann is directly involved in the show.

Obviously gonna be spoilers here. Read at your own risk if you have yet to watch the first of the final chapters which aired today (second part is due for fall release). This show is amazing. I'll withhold my thoughts completely for now but seeing Levi still hasn't given up the grudge just made me happy.

If the emotional punch explaining Ellie's bite, her hard exterior and her terror at getting close to and losing people is seen as "filler" that "doesn't move the show forward", then maybe character dramas placed in a horror setting aren't your thing. Hell, I was worried that the Left Behind DLC was going to be its own episode in a show where there wouldn't be enough episodes to properly cover the back half of the game, but they tied it into Jackson perfectly. Hit the emotional "I'm not her" scene and concluded the Tommy party properly, even hit the University well enough for what you needed it to be (less gruesome than the game but still well done). Now we get the two darkest moments in the story in back to back episodes and there's plenty of leg room to stretch those moments out well. This couldn't have gone better.

Yeah worst part is we have two kids and both are toddlers. So limiting family contact is impossible. We've scrubbed everything and basically wash our hands after doing anything at all, so hopefully we're in the clear soon.

Anybody got any? This pain is unbearable. Can't eat anything without making it worse

Take it all in. Get there early enough to walk around and see the arena a bit. Try to take some of the intermission entertainment in if your bladder/cravings will let you. It's usually pretty fun stuff.

So I'm playing. I am behind though. Stopped playing at some point during Shadowkeep (completed that campaign, obviously). Pre-ordered Beyond Light because I didn't realize how 2020 was gonna go for my life and long story short, I never got around to playing it. So I'm playing through it now. Basically gonna blaze through it and grind for artifacts for stasis as much as I can while getting through Witch Queen. God I love this game

This is absolutely amazing https://youtu.be/GVT3WUa-48Y

We're truly just lacking that one elite goal scorer. We score by committee sure but we don't have that McJesus level goal scorer and it absolutely hurts. Thought Aho or Svech would develop into that but that hasn't happened, though they're both still strong players. Just not as deadly as you'd like them to be with their chances.

Once we get one, we'll start running these boys. We're outclassing them end to end.

The trilogy yes but the entire album is what I meant. Confusing because the trilogy is the last part of the album of the same name lol

Alright so are we all ok saying Lorna Shore's "Pain Remains" is album of the year in metal? Like is there truly a better product?

That is bouncy as fug. I dig it. Reminds me of some of Crystal Lake's stuff a tad.

What's just as bad is how the fight goes immediately after. Mantha doesn't indicate he wants a fight. He was being dirty and getting told off about it and basically sucker punches Marty. Like it's the most bullshit, bully thing I've seen in a while. The fact that nobody went after him after the box speaks to Rod's leadership and keeping guys calm because I'd have ran him the rest of the game. Every opportunity, running him as hard as possible.

I want whichever QB that Reich believes can execute the type of offense he believes will lead us to a super bowl. The rest of it is just fans being fans. With the staff building being what it has been, I have total faith in Reich until he proves that I'm foolish to do so.

Not for nothing, I'll sell you either or both of my r5 3600 and 5700xt for fairly cheap

Cam was the size of a linebacker with the speed of a WR and the running tendency of a power back...and he was effective at doing everything. There will never be another QB like Cam. There will be similar people. Maybe they have a bit of his magic. But you'll never see that kind of player again, as far as being all those things. Goddamn you, Kelvin Benjamin and TJ Watt.

Pk is on fugin fire

Simply because he has been here for 15 years. Sooner or later, gonna need a new long snapper. Depending on the contract and how he's viewed. I'm not opposed to him remaining. I just like preparing for longtime Panthers to depart.

Ioannidis, Darnold, Jansen are gone. Possibly Pineiro if Reich has a kicker he wants available. Foreman's tape is gonna look good. Allows Reich to solely focus on QB because Foreman is good enough to hold the position down for another year. Bozeman is interesting but I think they'll keep him and it'll be an evaluation year for Reich on him. Thompson is up in the air. Luvu is the one LB that's a must, the rest are fairly underwhelming

Get ready for a bit of an improvement offensively in terms of eye test but the same result of being around .500 folks. Gonna be fun.
