I only just found some penne yesterday lol. I want to try and make the “ram-dom” from the movie Parasite.

Oh they’re cute, most of the time, but when they throw their tantrums, even at a year and 7 months, it’s awful. Haha. I think my alcohol tolerance has increased in the past few months once they became mobile honestly, the hardest hardest part is when I get sent away for a few days/weeks at a time and the wife has to do this solo. Too few people understand what she has to do in order to just take them anywhere and forget that a lot of the time, it’s a hell of a lot easier to just come to our house than have them host.

That alone shows you how unrealistic it is lol. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Those simulated games are just awful. 150+ shots and 12+ goals combined in each game is not exactly something I would term a “simulation,” which implies that it’s trying to be as realistic as possible. That would be like if NASA trained their astronauts in a shuttle simulator and instead they are playing StarFox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came here just now just to see what's going on and how everyone is doing... saw your post and figured it was probably from late last night and was going to be disappointed that I missed it... then noticed that you posted this one minute ago, and now I'm thrilled. Turned it on and watching now - awesome to get a little hockey fix and relive some nostalgia. Thanks for sharing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be like if NASA trained their astronauts in a shuttle simulator and instead they are playing StarFox. Are the games being simulated in real time, as opposed to the clock counting down at the "usual" faster rate? That's probably why the numbers are so out-of-whack. I think if you play the game in what should be the normal mode, the seconds count down twice as fast...I think 20 minutes per period = 10 minutes of actual in-game playtime. Think that's always been the "sweet spot" with the EA NHL games, in terms of getting final numbers that feel much more in line with what you'd see in an actual NHL game. If 20 minutes per period is equal to 20 minutes of playtime, that would definitely account for what appears to be more than double what you'd expect to see in an NHL game. 7 minutes ago, Bonginator11 said: Watching now.

NJDfan1711 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 So the NHL season has been officially cancelled. That sucks. Can't believe they made the decision without figuring out what to do with the draft and other key deadlines. Kinda surprised the NHL is the first league to officially cancel things too, especially when the NBA postponed their games first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I should add, I’m happy we drafted Jack, but it might’ve been funny/disappointing for Rangers fans to have to see their King in a Devils jersey. Would’ve been gross for us though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
