Update:
I randomly stumbled on another Cubs slop article on another site, Deadspin. I wrote a comment about how nonsense it was to ask "Is the NL Central race over?" because a team without recent success got a 4 game lead in early May.
And... I think they took down the article's comment section to get rid of my comment? Lol? It legit doesn't show a comments section anymore, at least for me. They didn't mind the literal spambots already there when I commented, but maybe criticizing the article went too far!
Fun fact: The Cubs are 22-16 today. They were also 22-16, exactly, today last year. They would go < .500 the rest of the way, losing the division by 10 games and missing the playoffs.
The comments are there for me, not sure why you can't see them. Perhaps it failed to load, or maybe there's some AB testing going on? Others should check!
what do you mean spambots? those are clearly very real people trying to give us financial advice
modern day family guy episodes are so bizarre
nothing happens. its just background noise. i can't tell what happens and could never, ever summarize an episode after i watched it
i genuinely can't imagine the writing process. it feels like its not written but just kinda animated from moment to moment without any script or story board. and even then, all the animation is reused since years

one of my favourite colleagues is a fella of pensionable age. was quite weird having him shadow me! showing him how to mop a floor and he's talking about his first job back before they invented paper currency or whatever
was confused about this but remembered you're british and that they didnt have paper currency until brexit or something
Hey guys! I'm not dead!
what did I miss I fell off a month ago!

smogoff mod applications phoopes is back as mod and the pope died
Well I knew about the new pope, but not about phoopes becoming mod!?
I’m surprised, one of us is the leader of like a billion people with countless adoring fans and the other is the pope
years ago I found some fan made (I think it was) Mario (or Mario RPG) soundtracks and I liked them. The guy that made them made a video where he explained that he will die soon. I looked into his community tab and he reported that he had a very rare, very slow growing brain cancer. Thing is, he reported later that he took an experimental operation that removed parts of his frontal lobe and saved his life
I liked the music but I genuinely can't recall the guy's name. Does anyone know who I talk about?
edit: also IIRC he worked on a Mario RPG fangame

Rate this Smash 6 roster (Heroes, villains, echo fighters)
dedede, meta knight, and shadow as villains, yeah I don't think you should open your mailbox for a few days
I like it very much. Although I have a few questions...
1. Feels weird to have pikachu tied to pokemon trainer. Why'd you do that?
1b. The pokemon trainers have two pokemon each, why's that?
2. Who're the three characters next to Ike?
3. Is that FOREMAN SPIKE?
My main idea for the story mode is the villains forming a Legion of Doom to defeat the heroes now that the Hands, Galeem and Dharkon are all gone. As part of this Kamek creates a spell to possess those 3 and make them evil again
I wanted to turn every non-legendary Pokemon rep into Pokemon Trainer basically. At the same time 3 teams of 3 seemed excessive so I went with 2 each.
Shulk, Rex and Mio, protagonists of each Xenoblade game. First 2 use their designs from Xenoblade 3's Future Redeemed DLC. I thought it'd be fun to fill out the whole trilogy, same reason why I made Ninten an echo fighter
Yes.
This has made me realize Jack Black Steve is something we could actually get in the next smash game. I kinda hope it happens.
Before going in, your roster, your project at the end of the day.
I'll chime in as both a competitive player and someone who has strong opinions on roster construction in a more broad sense.
As a competitive player, i'll admit, this doesn't look great for our world. i'm kinda left looking at this list and i'm wondering like, who can do combos? who are our disjoint characters? this seems like camper hell. (I'm intentionally using 'camper' a bit vague in this more casual context. further elaboration is available.)
Here, Green = broadly recognized as good for the game, Yellow = uncertain, Blue = gimmicky, Purple = notorious camper, Black = new (no knowledge). I did this quickly and probably whiffed some (Mario, Peach, and K. Rool among those one could dispute), but there's a whole lot of blue and purple. (And the character switch Pokemon trainers will also probably also be gimmicky.)
One could say here like, I could redesign these characters, and that Ultimate puts you in a bad spot because so many characters are campy and gimmicky. And I'd say, sure, the former is possible and the latter is broadly true, but this game does not look super fun for non-casuals. Lots of fun, balanced, non-campy characters are out here: Roy, Chrom, Sheik, Captain Falcon, Wolf, Pichu, Mewtwo, Incineroar, Corrin, Pit, and Ridley are cut, and likely more too.
(I probably should've included Ken here as a good character because he's different enough from Ryu, but I'm too lazy to edit the image.)
____________________________________________________________________
For non-competitive, I'm more mixed here. I'm generally a fan of smaller rosters both for competitive reasons (less matchup hell) and casual reasons (eg more effort put into other parts of the game, characters feel more distinct and identity-having, less choice paralysis, easier to learn the whole roster for random). So that's great in my book.
And given that, you made some of choices I agree with, ones that other people often don't. These choices are especially difficult when deciding who to cut and not. You kept good gaming history and casual play in with guys like Isabelle, G/W, Duck Hunt, and Pac-Man. I'm real tired of rosters where all of DH, G/W, Wii Fit Trainer, and Mii Fighter are cut – I understand you may not keep them all, that's cool, but people who cut them all out feel like their design POV is too sterile and missing a lot of what has made Smash unique and great.
Foreman Spike has big gadget Piranha Plant energy that i'm totally down for. New Pokemon content post Gen5 is a nice dose of reality. I think the echos are all solid adds, but I'm surprised no Dr. Mario. While I'm a bit bummed about losing Ridley in an gameplay sense, I think Raven Beak is a totally fair swap in the non-mechanical world, at least, the kind that most people would be too nostalgic or conservative to make but which can definitely help Smash get its own identity.
The only grief I'll give you on removals is Pit. A character so intertwined with the Smash franchise (revived for Brawl, Palutena as the exemplar of 4's Custom Moves, KIU inspired the UI of Smash 4, Palutena's Guidance, etc.) should get one spot, I'm pretty sure, especially when other life support/dead franchises like Star Fox / Mother get one or more.
However, in general I'm not super high on the other additions. Most fan rosters tell you what franchises the maker likes vs dislikes, and like, that's fine – it's natural that personal interest influences this personal interest franchise. However, I think that type of interest is best expressed in thoughtfully allocating spots and making designs and concepts, and there's some spot bias here for Xenoblade, Sonic, and traditional fighting games. These three franchises, none of which are that important to Nintendo, take more than a quarter of the whole roster. (Echoes not included, besides Ken, who is classified as an echo but is functionally a separate fighter.) 13/50. Tmk, Ultimate simultaneously has proportionately more Nintendo characters and shows a broader swathe of nontraditional entrants.
I get the POV on including one Xenoblade character for each game, but cutting the roster and adding to a franchise that just got DLC and isn't that big-picture important feels hard to justify. It's your roster at the end of the day, but if it were me, I'd cut one Xenoblade, make Shadow a true echo, and cut at least 2 of the traditional FG guys.
I don't think gating access to the Pokemon franchise behind a gimmicky swap mechanic is a great idea. No solo Pikachu, while certainly bold, was a bit boggling. If you want Cynthia and her Garchomp, you can make a solo Garchomp character with her as a background trainer, and I might recommend it. Also, I'm not really sure what your opinions on the newer games are, but you gotta include Pokemon content from the past 10 years. Adding solo Mewtwo, a solo newer Pokemon, and splitting Pikachu from Charizard would do a lot for me here.
I really don't like Bandana Dee. I don't. He's very corporate mascot to me, both in appearance and functionality. Maybe he's gotten major upgrades in FL - I don't know a lot about for him – but people have been clamoring for him since RTDL, where he has no story role or agency. I read his situation as a Geno or Waluigi situation, where the hype is self sustaining but questionably founded. He's cute, but in a kind of generic way that Kirby already slots into. I think Kirby has a wealth of diverse side characters that show the franchise's history and creative gameplay more, like... most of the Star Allies dream friends, honestly, and also Dark Matter.
In conclusion, #AdeleineForSmash2026
