I... just... what is the point of those parentheses? Are they trying to be scare quotes within a quote or something? I can't come up with any explanation that makes any sense...

I feel like there’s some learning curve to button holding discipline thats unique to tag fighters.

It took me awhile to understand how to hold calling an assist while doing stuff with point to time the assist attack in my block strings, but it feels natural to me now.

Iirc, to hold stand behind me is just holding S2 and then you can move around, so you just gotta 4S2 to start the move, then hold S2, and while holding S2 call your assist. But admittedly I haven’t messed with Braum in many patches so not sure if they changed control scheme at all.

I'm fucking sorry, but what? Have we just hit the point where AI is so far up everything's ass that google slides doesn't even know that crouch is a word anymore?

(p.s. if this isn't AI's fault, I don't care, I'm still blaming it for the general enshittification of every piece of software I use)

every time I see an Angels highlight it's like "mike trout hit 3 home runs and raised his average to .528 while Shohei Ohtani did something that hasn't been done since Tungsten Arm O'Doyle on the 1921 Akron Groomsmen as the Tigers defeated the Angels 8-3"

This feels like an apt time to re-up the greatest baseball tweet of all time

as an eagles fan, you know you gotta be less confident even if we keep winning. and we gotta keep pressuring to fire Nick Sirianni. these are the keys to the team's success and they're counting on all us fans to play our role.

First time I've launched a Riot Game in 2025. It genuinely feels really weird enjoying a game from the company that blew up my life about a year ago, but what can I say, I still enjoy some 2XKO.

I can't believe they didn't use "it's Morbin' time" for flavor text. Rare miss by the wizards flavor text writers.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like β€œoh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Np, happy to help!

He can be a little low power at some tables, but idk, he’s honestly at the level I like and it just depends how your group likes to play. Hinata’s the more juiced option, but no one likes the opponent clause and it just kinda grinds the game to a halt.

Riku’s pretty cool, I think if Sublime Epiphany is your north star, he’s a good spot to start.

If you wanna stay mono blue, Baral and Eluge are both good spell enabler commanders.

I also think searching edhrec off a card you like for commander ideas is always a good starting point

Clair Obscur has sat with me in this weird way where I both like it more and get more frustrated about their missteps the longer it sits with me.

Rolled credits on Clair Obscur, very good game, well worth the playthrough.

I think there’s a truly exceptional game somewhere in there if they cut some of the half baked systems and tightened pacing, but the story ended up carrying the experience enough that I’m still quite happy with it.

I largely think Clair does a good job with consistent characterization, but I just got a swimsuit for Verso and I’m sorry but there’s no way that man’s chest has that little hair.

God, after the rest of this fucking weekend, I just really wanted something nice.

Real kick in the dick to have Tyrese Haliburton tear his Achilles 5 minutes in to ruin game 7 of the best NBA finals we've had in... decades?
