Damn has it been 7 years already? I remember the “pretty good, for a RB” jokes when they were genuine, before Lamar had proven he could pass as well as run. Now the dude’s outplaying Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, and has put up a few of the best all time QB performances in the last few years.
Starting to understand all the folks that have been following the game for 20+ years, it’s wild how fast the time goes…
Is this… a Cloverfield meme?
TLDR:
Return rates have increased substantially, but not quite to the level they’d hoped. Injury rates aren’t public yet, but they seem lower. Expect return rates to increase a bit more in the second half of the season.
New kickoff rules expire after this season, hopefully they reinstate them plus shift touch backs to the 35 from the 30 to further incentivize returns.
Oh, hell yeah. Always wanted to watch the ELF while I lived in London, but it was impossible to find a free stream.
Ok, just in case anyone else had the same thought, this is not the podcaster and oldest brother of Travis and Griffin McElroy. This is just a dude that does sick commissioned art.
This is the one where homer gets hair and gets all fit, but then the hair starts falling out til he’s back to normal. The sight gag being that somehow it was the hair keeping his gut in, once it all falls out, his gut pops back out.
Well, for one, the 18 deaths I imagine are only the ones they know about. Like most info that puts them in a bad light, I don’t think the IDF would be very forthcoming with the actual numbers.
I’ve gotta rep one of my all time favorite party games to this day (ported to PC) Worms Armageddon. They’ve had several sequels, but I believe that was the last one to use that particular physics engine, and every game since has just felt a bit… Hollow?
Also +1 to Paper Mario - S-Tier RPG, best of the whole series IMHO, tho the GameCube sequel TTYD is deserving of a very close second. I wish so bad they’d make a return to badges and acquiring new buddies and buddy upgrades throughout the game. The oragami king battle mechanics did not do it for me, and with it being the core mechanic of the game just soured my whole experience despite the rest of the game being pretty solid.
Spot on with Perfect Dark. It’s one fault imo is that it was trying to do almost too much for the 64. Even as an expansion pak game, the graphics that the 64 was capable of could just not render the necessary detail for a lot of stuff to be easy to see/recognize.
I’ve heard there have been studies that indicate that in some part modern allergies are our bodies directing an evolved immune response that we once needed for all the parasites we constantly carried. They gave parasites to people that had certain food allergies and suddenly their food allergies were just straight up gone.

We’ve got a print of this at the bottom of our stairwell :)
It’ll be nice to know you’re not going to also get charged with a crime in addition to getting shot to death by a cop that sees any person fleeing them as a criminal.
Is this the bite of 87?
I heard he pees his pants because he likes the warm feeling on his legs.
Mf telling us to stop framing cauliflower in the context of different food n calls it albino broccoli, smh my head
Imagine unironically using the words “good thing” to describe a number of civilian casualties above 0, let alone above half of total casualties.
That’s wild man.
Civilian casualties of war aren’t just a statistic. Those are real people that just wanted to live happy lives. Less than 1% of any number over 100 is a number I’m not happy about, and anyone with a heart should be furious about the number of civilians dying in Gaza. Especially when those numbers are such a high percentage. If you can’t fight a war without that kind of casualty count, then you either don’t fight the war or you accept that what you are doing is a genocide, not a war. IDF has very clearly made their choice on this.
How much of that is because there just aren’t as many left for them to kill? If they started out at non-combatant numbers above SIXTY PERCENT that means they were killing more women and children than anyone else…
Eventually that pesky problem of killing non-combatants just fixes itself when there’s none left to kill, doesn’t it?
Oh man, I feel your pain… I was in general customer-facing support for three different enterprise security/identity service providers from 2014 until a year ago. That shit was torturous sometimes. Now with that third of those three I’m the dedicated guy for just two of our larger customers and it’s fuckin great compared to that. Always dealing with the same handful of very very competent people is so refreshing.
Also, fuck right off with “ensure a safe environment”, where was that when you told Joost you would respect his wish to be alone after his performance because of how emotional he knew he would be? You let someone who communicated just how vulnerable they were going to be in that moment get ambushed by a camera person that you had assured would not be there.
He scored me 55 points last night! What???
