Or apparently Reggie Barlow who flagged a delay of game so a 31 yard FG became a 36 yard FG.

Someone once told me "if you think it's a raven, it's a crow. If you think it's a big crow, it's a big crow. But if you think it is a giant and must be the god of all crows, it's a raven."

so teams save it for later in games during critical plays

Unless you're St. Louis, then you might use it on a random play because you're right goddammit

In addition, (depending how you feel about weather), tickets drop like crazy the night before a game if it's supposed to rain. Felt like an idiot when I bought ahead of time for $125 tickets when the night before they were being sold for $15

Edit: Also, upper bowl really isn't bad in that stadium, I wouldn't rule it out

To me, the catalyst has largely been inflation. https://youtu.be/VhWGQCzAtl8?si=TjYXakDIW2xfufwK goes into it well, but games fortunately (or unfortunately depending how you look at it) grew in popularity (more sales) and efficiency (cheaper to develop if you can use an existing game engine) at a pretty perfect rate for games to continue to be sold at $60 for a long period despite inflation, essentially becoming cheaper and cheaper over time.

The downside is that people have gotten very used to games being $60, so as game growth slowed down and couldn't still be sold cheaper and cheaper with inflation, major studios looked to other ways to monetize, largely micro transactions and live service. Those methods of monetization really benefit from multiplayer; people will spend far more on skins and other cheap-to-develop assets if they can show them off to others.

I think AAA single player experiences will need to be sold at a higher priced than they have been, and as that becomes normalized we might see a resurgence.

Fun aside, that video came out 6 years ago, and even if we were to say at that point games should cost $60, with inflation that would still be $70 today

I'm also curious if there's some amount of difference in what "safe" means and relative to what. People in cities are more likely to be Democrat, and might be answering in the context of a "safe for a city," as even the safe cities tend to have crime rates well above the national average. Republicans are less likely to live in a major city, and may be more likely to say cities are dangerous

Ehh, not in my opinion. I spent three months in the UK last year, so not a huge sample size, but I went into so many restaurants where the toilet was only accessible by a winding path with multiple stairs. That and hotels only accessible by stairs, except for a mini lift that you need to get a key for from the lobby... past the stairs, so you need to call them and have them bring it back for you. Or sidewalks with no ramp, or in disrepair, or crosswalk lights that make no sound, so a blind person wouldn't know when it's safe to cross.

Some of it is definitely due to there being so many old, protected buildings, which as far as excuses go is pretty good, but doesn't really make it any better for people with disabilities.

That is one of my favorite monologues of any show

Most of the big ones have already been posted, but you might enjoy this video and some of the other games referenced. https://youtu.be/gwV_mA2cv_0?si=gCLWTCCbsyCJ9Ysl

I'm in a similar boat and have been running through and Golden Idol had been our favorite by far, but Chants of Sennaar has also been great

I don't think so, it pretty directly matches the AFL/NFL merger into the AFC and NFC, which to me gives it a little extra air of legitimacy. And if the league lasts 30 years, that'd be a fun bit of preserved history compared to East/West

But you already have the great data. There's no trade-off for a better visualization

True, but only because I was sick of that dynasty. I was hoping there'd be a little but if time before starting the next one. Now I want anyone but a QB named Mahomes

Doesn't really help you now, but I'd keep my eye on Avowed, Obsidian's take on the genre; should be coming out some time this year

Yeah, Ravens currently only have $6 mil in cap space, and there are 15 teams with $17 mil or more. So adds up Ravens weren't making an offer.

I think /u/weird jokes has it right, the article worded it for clicks. Queen took less money than what other, non-Ravens teams were offering to play with a team with a shot. I don't know if the Ravens were offering more than the Steelers.

Souldiers: fun little metroidvania, surprised to see it has mixed reviews

Witcher 3 for me as well. Weirdly, I loved the first two Witcher games and beat them multiple times, but kept bouncing off 3 before playing it in the deck

I disagree with their reference to time to make games, but I agree this is reminiscent of when Netflix started really getting into streaming. Movie/TV show companies didn't really know how to value streaming rights, and likely didn't anticipate the degree to which it would cannibalize other income streams, so consumers got a ridiculously good deal for a while until the market adjusted.
