I loved Innocence. Requiem was decent, not as good, but decent.

You know one reason I loved Innocence? Amicia wasn't a girl boss. She got by on wit and being quick and resourceful. Like how a girl would have to, in her situation. She was scared, but she was smart.

This? This is just yet another girl-boss-slop. She's defeating grown men 3x her size/weight in hand-to-hand combat. Oh and she's quippy too. The hardest of all possible hard passes.

@XBOX I didn't think you could kill my interest in this game in 2 seconds, but look at you go...

[Labs FTW @labsftw]

@PlayStation "brutal roots"

complete with glittery cubes, pretty pink ribbons, and cute animals.

FOH

[Labs FTW @labsftw]

it's actually insane to me that not only did you think going the same direction as a multitude of other girl-boss-led-failed-sequels was a good idea, but you decided to double-down on stupidly ripping players out of an established franchise by including a sentient purple ribbon to dance with, and a talking cube named "frank".

You'll get not a dime from me, and I bought all the other GoW games Day 1.

@john_goetz @Grummz right? no help from men allowed, but we can have help from pretty ribbons and talking cubes because hey isn't that just cute and funny?

[Labs FTW @labsftw]

@Hoozbad @Grummz yup. 2018 was great as it depicted the way a man actually struggles with himself, without losing himself.

by Ragnarok, he was emasculated. Kratos is constantly emotionally defeated and led around in that game by Atreus, Freya, and others.

i wont be buying laufey

@McJuggerNuggets you murdered your child, sorry there's no nice way to say that. 🤷‍♂️

[Labs FTW @labsftw]

@JoshPateCFB @OhioTate Well I mean, @danorlovsky7 hasn't. Right @TaylorLewan77?

[Labs FTW @labsftw]

@BrooksAustinBA @CowFear Is it a dare when you know the other guy won't accept? Especially non-cons are scheduled years out? Oil-Daddy-Will-Pay-For-It is just posturing.

As an older brother, I didn't fight my little brother every time I told him I was stronger than him and he said "oh yeah, fight me!"

@caydenmc @JoshPateCFB @PaulVarnell93 8 was always the correct number, eye-to-eye there.

And I get the desire for more variety. But I don't agree with it coming via watering down a huge piece of what makes the sport great to begin with. Urgency.

@JoshPateCFB still waiting on beanies/skull caps before fall gets here

Those teams are going to be the same kind of "title pretenders" that you're disdaining from the B1G/SEC in your earlier post tho. Just with less overall talent.

It's just inclusion for inclusion's sake, more Make a Wish teams. This isn't baseball where a tremendous amount of luck is part of the game and "extra at-bats" could actually net positive outcomes.

The idea that playing for seeding will carry the same urgency as playing for survival is one of the dumbest aspects of CFP expansion arguments

@2LeJT2Quit @Protestia Jesus and John the Baptist did call the Pharisees a "brood of vipers", after all. Seems a little harsh. 🤷‍♂️

@38Godfrey The level of delusion you have to be under to believe what's going on in college sports is just the "free market", should be studied.

@EfrenDuarteMar1 @JoshPateCFB @ESPN_BillC Bias notwithstanding, the set is great. Can we talk about that rug tho for a minute? It looks like something my grandmother would think is fashionable.

[Labs FTW @labsftw]

@JakeCrain_ We play 9 games! We play 10!

Ok, against whom? Does someone want to look me in the eye and tell me Texas Tech and Texas are playing comparable schedules such that the total number of P4 games they play, comparatively, matters? Because I have bridge to sell that person.

[Labs FTW @labsftw]

@JakeCrain_ This would be great if conferences were comparable, top-to-bottom. But they aren't, so it isn't.

A road trip to Columbia in early October is a little different than one to Orlando.

Until that problem is solved, it's a meaningless conversation. The variance is too wide.

The only people who give a rat's ass about Kanell's take on the SEC are his split personalities, and maybe a few ACC homers.

In avoiding making an SEC Fan Club episode, you brought in one of like 3 guys who's entire schtick is being an officer in the SEC Derangement Club.

There are valid critical voices out there that don't make clownery their profession.

@JakeCrain_ @rhettlashlee Elko the only coach out here not afraid to tell the truth.
