Did I grow to love Juzo? No

Did I like him more as the series went on? Yes

Was he in the Top 3 new characters? He might be by default. Most were garbage and/or underdeveloped. After Chisa and Koichi, who else has a chance? Tengan was whatever and Gozu died too soon to flesh him out.

I too liked the concept of the forbidden action handicap, but they were wildly uneven. If they were all basic things such as no running in the halls or can't open left hand, I thought they could take them in interesting directions. However, there were a lot of stupidly specific ones that took all the fascination out of it. Makoto lives past the fourth time limit? Anyone leaves the playing field? Kyosuke dies? Those were just stupid and ultimately contributed to the forbidden actions feeling like a hollow inclusion.

It is largely what I expected it to be, which begs the question why I spent the 5-10 hours watching it. I mean, the games, in my opinion, might have required the highest suspicion of disbelief in any work of fiction that I've experienced, but I think this animation easily one-upped them.

Despair Arc > Future Arc by a mile. Future Arc went off the rails in like the third episode. It isn't that the situation made the vast majority of the characters unlikable, but they were wholly unlikable from the start. It also bothered me, possibly more than it should have, that nearly everyone had a role among the highest leadership positions in the Future Foundation while maybe five of them had actual leadership qualities. That must be one pathetic organization if the likes of Ruruka, Ryota, and Juzo among the 15 most powerful people in it.

The 7th episode (I think that had the mutual killing game) might have been the most disturbing in animation that I have seen since like Ren & Stimpy. Thinking about it still gives me chills. Most of it was ludicrous, but it didn't make it any less distressing.

Like Sling TV or Playstation Vue?

My parents finally want to cut the cord but still want a cost-effective TV channel service to replace it. I just have Netflix and Hulu accounts, so I don't have any first-hand experience to help them. I have a couple questions:

1. Which service is generally considered the most reliable? I think that's what my parents are most worried about.

2. What are their user interfaces like? My parents can have a hard time adjusting to new technology, so they would prefer one that is considered user-friendly.

3. My parents do not want to have to get a smart TV, so what do you believe is the best device to hook up to their pre-existing TV? All I know is Roku, and I assume there are different products from them.

4. Do any of them offer live, local programming? I would upgrade my Hulu account to Hulu Live, but it doesn't offer several of my parents' most-watched channels.

In SR2, I like driving around and shooting the back windows of other cars on the roads. The drivers typically panic and start driving with a maniac. If you follow them, it isn't uncommon to ultimately see them hit something that flings them through their windshield with the game's ragdoll physics.

That isn't at all relevant to what you had to say, but I just wanted to mention this as being my favorite thing to do in SR2.

A. It costs a lot to keep an uber-talented team together
B. Signing uber-talented players to long contracts simultaneously will destroy your cap space in the future

I say potential because it is dependent on whether or not another team attempts to sign said RFA. Perhaps "possible" is a better word choice?

If by successfully signing a player, you mean the original team elects not to match the other team's offer, then yes, you will receive the applicable draft pick compensation.

Theoretically, a player drafted in the 1st round would result in having the same draft pick compensation if offered a low or mid tender. It has happened once in B8NFLL, and I totally forget how it went.

Steps to Restricted Free Agency

1. I will privately contact every user and inform them of their RFAs and the tender levels. If you don’t have any RFAs, then you won’t be notified.

2. Users will have three days to inform me which players they wish to sign and at what level.

3. I will publicly reveal all RFAs from user and A.I. teams that can be signed by other teams (AKA were offered a tender) plus their tender levels and the base kind of deal they are looking for.

4. I will give users four days to decide any action, if any, they wish to take. If they do wish to take further action, they will PM me.

Now by "any action you wish to take," I mean that everyone has an opportunity to attempt to sign RFAs from other teams. You might see some sticker shock but keep in mind that some positions are more expensive (WRs, DTs, QBs) than others (OLBs, Cs, TEs) relative to their overall rating. An 80 WR will usually be more expensive than a 90 C, and that's just how things are.

5. If a team attempts to sign another team’s RFA, then the user who owns the RFA’s rights will have two days to decide whether or not to match the offer. If you do not inform me of a decision, you are defaulted to NOT matching the deal.

Restricted Free Agency

This minor but oddly detailed offseason event is for a small subset of players who just completed their untampered rookie contract that was exactly three years in length. These players are not eligible to be originally offered multi-year contracts by the team that holds their rights but instead one-year contracts of fixed figures based on the tender level that you offer them.

Our Tender Levels for this season
No Tender = no potential draft pick compensation = $0
Low Tender = potential original round draft pick compensation = $790k
Mid Tender = potential 1st round draft pick compensation = $1.72 mil
High Tender = potential 1st + 3rd round draft pick compensation = $2.28 mil

Now, the mentioning of draft pick compensation there is only applicable if another team attempts to sign your player. It has no bearing on this first phase of RFA. It wouldn't make much sense if you had to give up draft picks to sign your own player now would it? Newcomers and people who don't have a good memory are certainly free to ask me what round a player was drafted in if that affects their tender level.

That being said, you might want to keep in mind about that draft pick compensation when you determine what tender to offer your player. If you think very highly of your player, you might want to offer the highest tender to deter other teams from attempting to sign them. If you don't consider a player to be a part of your future plans, you might want to offer the low tender so that they barely count against your cap space and you could end up even getting draft pick compensation if someone else wants him.

A word of advice from me: The full monetary amount attached to the tenders is NOT GUARANTEED and is usually less than what they would make on the open market, so there is essentially 0 risk to offering all of your players a tender unless you personally hate them with a passion.

You can also engage trade talks with other teams so that you can prearrange a trade that if X player is not signed by another team, you will trade them to Y team for Z compensation that might be lower than what Y team would have had to give up to sign them during RFA. In this scenario, you might want to offer the highest tender level to deter the maximum amount of teams from disrupting the trade.
