I think that’s a pretty fair take. I do think players should be given more grace than refs though; players have adrenaline pumping and are more likely to act out because of that, but the refs should mostly remain professional. Obviously that doesn’t mean they should be demeaned or take inappropriate shit from players, but they should be able to keep their professionalism and composure when players chirp at them.

I suppose you have a solution and are aware of a candidate who can put that solution into action?

My little guy is just past 10 and has kidney disease too. Has been given the “hospice” diagnosis twice now and he’s still going.

So so sorry for your loss, I understand how helpless it can feel.

Kutcher and Kunis’ phones ringing off the hook right now.

Ooooh big strong man is so angwy!

I recognize a call for help when I see one…so no, I will not ignore.

End of an era. Much love for Martinet and I’m happy Nintendo is still keeping him around in some sort of capacity! Hopefully this was mutual; him being in a video about it with Miyamoto feels like it probably was.

I doubt it will be, but I’m hoping that the parents will be Kitty and Red.

He should shout “Morey!” every time he shoots the three and completely brick the shot.

That looks absolutely delicious! I made chicken schnitzel about a month ago; while we were happy with the flavor, the chicken breasts were too thick despite tenderizing them. I’ll have to butterfly them next time, thanks for the explanation!

…got any grapes?

Would have preferred Warriors vs. Kings, but I get the appeal of the past two champs duking it out on Christmas.

A buddy of mine loved OW1, ranked top-100 for Rein, and preordered OW2 a long time ago. Not only did Blizz not refund his $60 after they changed directions, he said he still has to pay for this content.

Obviously the main takeaway is another reminder to never preorder games, but that is so slimy.

Bring out the fat suit!

One of my favorite Blazers in the last 5 years and we didn’t even get him a full season. Congrats to both Hart and the Knicks!

I wonder if they’ll use this opportunity to sort of “relaunch” the games and include a huge performance patch at release. The DLC was the best part of Sword and Shield, and these look like they could be the same.

It’s also easier for me to get excited because I really didn’t have crazy performance issues. Definitely some bad slowdown in places, Pokemon battles occasionally had some interesting glitches, but I don’t think it ever crashed on me. I played mostly in handheld, so maybe that helped.

Connect is great but I can’t get over how ugly I think the icon is, so I’ve been using Liftoff instead. Turns out I’m shallow when it comes to tech!

Always love me some Derrick White, but I wonder if the C’s will still try to find a trade to upgrade at PG. Tends to be a fantasy goldmine too.

Rooting for the young core! Shai and Chet are going to be a ton of fun to watch. Hopefully they can start fostering a winning culture and we can see what the team is capable of.

Wonder how over the legal limit the guy was. Two games seem like nothing, especially since they’ll probably be served early in the season.
