Finally winning after years of hardship doesnt feel better than regular winning

As a fairly long time Cubs fan I definitely disagree with this. Nothing in sports will likely ever compare to that World Series win for me. And I have contrasting teams in other sports-- I mean the Giants wins are great and overall I prefer the Giants to the Cubs, but yeah.

I might be able to accept that the Cubs are a unique case

But still, I bet if you win the World Series again itll feel just as good!

Also here?s a dirty fandom secret:

Finally winning after years of hardship doesn?t feel better than regular winning

There?s no such thing as an ?investment? in a team by following them through lean times that ?pays off? when they finally succeed.

Fans owe nothing to sports franchises

I disagee, the Leafs have been mostly terrible my entire life, and haven't won the cup since 1967. These past few years have felt better both for me and older family members who have been through years of mediocrity than any of the past 20+ seasons. If they finally break through and win the cup in the next few years, it'll easily be the happiest moment of my life.

And this is preferable than them having won, say, 5 Stanley Cups in your lifetime?

EGM April Fools joke was what really got people to believe there was a way to unlock him

Those things were legendary.

I remember everyone thought "Plumbers don't wear ties" was an april fools but I knew it wasn't because somehow my local game store had a used copy.

I had a friend who actually went through the process to unlock Sonic and Tailes in Melee. 20 kills in Cruel Melee. Not an easy thing to do, and he got nothing for it (aside from the increased respect from those of us who played with him).

When I was young I totally fell for the tip on how to unlock Simon Belmont in TMNT 2: The Arcade Game

Heres something interesting we keep looking at North Korea but China could retaliate in another way: Taiwan

http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-signs-taiwan-order-despite-warnings-from-china-2018-3

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-taiwan-usa/chinese-paper-says-china-should-prepare-for-military-action-over-taiwan-idUSKBN1GY015

So to review Trump is aggravating China by:
- Violating the One China policy by taking steps to recognize Taiwan Sovreignty
- Initiating a Trade War
- Leaked rumors that Taiwan may be leasing F-15 Eagles from the US in violation of agreements with China

Toss in North Korea and we have ourselves a nice little square dance.

Bet a lot that this is true

But anyways I was still able to beat the boss without bombs or buffs. My point is that it depleted my entire inventory. So it's not like you can just get good weapons and be set. Unless you just use bombs for everything and never use them...

My POV is that there are always always always more weapons

Even if they are shitty weapons, theyll hold you over until you find better ones

And the types of weapons are varied enough that I enjoyed being forced out of my spear/broadsword comfort zone

In fact, I am surprised we haven't been to war with them by now. There will be immense pressure to disarm now in these talks.

You really don't think China would when they've warned against it, especially now with the tariffs?

China is not going to war over North Korea.

China certainly does not want us or our allies to occupy North Korean territory

My one major gripe about BotW, and this might be just me, is the anticlimax

The Hyrule Castle run is GREAT. Absolutely my favorite part of the game and possibly the entire series. Im counting from the first point you decide to tackle it and have to fight your way TO the official dungeon part, and then exploring the whole place taking out Ganons strongest and toughest.

The issue is that youre incentivized to do this in the middle of the game. I fought my way to Ganons doorstep then decided not to fight him yet because I still had Divine Beasts to tackle.

Then when you go back at the end its much less suspenseful because youre OP

Probably just an issue with how I played the game

You definitely did not have good weapons then.

No, there are fights that will deplete an arsenal of even the strongest weapons. The hardest combat shrine which you find in the castle for example. You can play it perfectly but if you don't have enough high damage high durability weapons, you will be mathematically unable to defeat the boss. I used all 3 big elemental weapons that you find there and several of the big swords you get from the enemies there. There is literally a maximum amount of damage you can do due to inventory limits, and that boss comes pretty close.

You have infinite bombs

Using bombs isn't fun though.

Not on that type of enemy, no

But its not a literal damage cap is all Im trying to say

And for Gods sake cook stat boosts

Is it because of context? Well, what context exists here to make worthy of not just being removed by YouTube (which didn't even happen because it's just a funny joke,it just can't be shared) , but that the law is involved?

I think that line, specifically, justifies law enforcement investigating if they want to.

I think their investigation should conclude that this was just humor in very poor taste and leave it at that.
