2019 NBA Offseason Thread -- Trades, Free Agents, Firings, Retirements, Etc
Remember when Knicks fans were touting trading away their young star as it was clear they wanted to open cap space for KD and Kyrie? What a complete disaster for them.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Having lunch in the Highlands in the Denver area. Four people walk in, decked out in maroon and all with their rings. Two of the guys have on this shirt: Just a bunch of morons.

Destiny
I don't think they ever really fixed the scaling, but I am about to dive back in as the annual pass was on sale and the changes gave me hope that they aren't going to make the same mistake as Destiny 2 and strip everything from you at the start of the next game.

The Division 2
I'm doing the run from 1-30 then might bounce between TD2, Destiny, and FO76. Anyone can let me into the Surly Xbox clan? I do like the game and I think they've done a good job on the content, but it's somewhat frustrating with how poor the matchmaking is for the first 30 levels. Almost through them, but still a pain.

Good thing they cleared all that cap space for two max players!

Texas Intercity Rivalries
Houston because they always want to find a way to shit on Dallas and act superior. Austin because they want to blissfully act as if they aren’t becoming more like other cities in Texas. Anyways, I don’t think El Paso really has any rivalries with cities as it’s a black hole that’s hard to escape.

It’s pretty neat to see him really help our program even when he didn’t commit here himself. Here’s to DFW recruiting improving.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2020
Short story - it has a reputation as a cow town and Denver smells like it every time there's winter. It's not a bad town, particularly in comparison to somewhere like Pueblo, and has two of the better breweries in Colorado (Weld Works and Wiley Roots). I'd still much rather live up in the mountains or closer to Fort Collins. Also, it's a million miles better than College Station.

Game of Thrones Season 8 (Bookfags unite)
So a Stark is on the throne, but the North is independent? How does that make any sense?

Game of Thrones Season 8 (Bookfags unite)
While I would have loved to see LSH, it's clear the one character the show missed out on is fAegon. Seems like he's going to fill the Cersei role of ruling King's Landing in the books, but I can see why they thought he may not have been important until it was far too late to introduce him.

Game of Thrones Season 8 (Bookfags unite)
The episode would have been much better if Dany's trigger was a fake surrender by Lannister troops and moving Rheagal's death to this week.

Game of Thrones Season 8 (Bookfags unite)
As is the problem with so much of the show, it seems that Varys will be trying to get fake Aegon on the throne in the books, and the writers decided that he just has to support Jon after he is revelead to take that place. Same with Cersei's plotline being non-sensical and KL still loving her after her walk of atonement.

Tyrion has to be the worst adviser of all time. Bad advice for two seasons, betrays the person who is trying to hell the realm, and it ends up with Dany baking King’s Landing.

Denver "legalizes" magic mushrooms
Doing them in Golden probably wouldn't be good as it doesn't apply there. You won't get "caught" now. Also, I think Colorado is trying to move towards dropping possession from a felony to a misdemeanor (https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb19-1263).

Game of Thrones Season 8 (Bookfags unite)
How the fuck do you not notice boars when you are flying? how the fuck do you not outflank them in the air when they can’t turn? how can they reload and apply all the momentum needed like it’s a fucking machine gun? how does Cersei have any power whatsoever when she blew up the Pope a who was beloved? The amount this show gives to Cersei to flip an unwinnable situation is complete bullshit

Sonic the Hedgehog (2019)
In terms of whether they were good, Silent Hill, Mortal Kombat, and Angry Birds are all pretty good movies. In terms of grossing, it's been a hit and miss. Some of beat their budget (see above plus the original Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie), but most have been relative flops. It'll be interesting to see how Detective Pikachu does as it is actually a decent film and has some recognition due to the actors + Pokemon.

Game of Thrones Season 8 (Bookfags unite)
I don't think any plan would have been "good" against the NK. Typical defense plans, like holing up in the castle, are worthless against an enemy that doesn't care about losses and will mound themselves up to get in. Even with some of the best fighters on the walls, they were overwhelmed. On top of that, they didn't have enough time to prepare the defenses, which limited even more delaying the inevitable as the wights just went right over it. I do agree, though, that the battle was somewhat dumb as they didn't use their artillery well at the beginning (use it to light up the night and see what the hell is out there at least) nor did they use their archers to rain dragonglass on the initial surge. Also, after Hardhome, I don't think the White Walkers were dumb enough to be anywhere near the front line until the end of the battles as they knew that the humans have weapons that can kill them. The WW at Hardhome was surprised when he was hit, but the rest were observing what happened. Anyways, off to the next episode. Is Cersei's storyline supposed to represent the fake Aegon storyline in the book? It seems odd that the Golden Company would be bankrolled by the Iron Bank of Bravos whenever there are supposed to be connections between the Iron Bank and the Faceless Men, who seemingly sought out Arya.

Breaking news - Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on fire
Last time I was there, a lot of their relics are out for veneration. Same with the bones of Saints. Would be a huge loss for all of that to go up in flames.

Breaking news - Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on fire
I wonder if they were able to get out some of the relics from the church as well. I know the church claims to have the crown of thorns and a piece of the cross, both of which are irreplaceable.
