It feels like it's been a while that the Super Bowl Champ didn't have to go through Manning/Brady directly.

Since 2012. So yeah, it's been a while.

Don't have car, got a new Laptop, Phone, and Shoes within the past year. So at first, it'd be TV. Then I realized... even if this was asked before everything was replaced... it'd still be TV. I've had the same TV since I was in High School.

This was one of those movies I watched and absolutely hated it. Hell, I groaned from the moment I turned it on and knew essentially the whole story that I'd be forced to watch when we started off with a moping Kendrick singing about how her boyfriend's gone. Down to being obnoxiously crappy about how Jamie decides to sing about how it's Cathy's fault that he wants to fuck every other girl he meets.

Yeah, no. You don't victimize yourself for adultery. Hell, the man couldn't even leave her without being shady about it by packing up and running off while she's away. So it's like, okay? So you'll want to sympathize with Kendrick's character? Minus her literally getting pissed off at her fiance's success while she was still job hopping. I'm there currently, but I can't sympathize because she was acting like an utter bitch despite being dependent on him.

There was one moment I found enjoyment in the whole movie, and that's just how the goodbye song was performed. To have both on screen, but know they're not interacting. It was well done, but still just an awful storyline.

huh, I never realized Oliver & Company was based on Oliver Twist

I only learned that because of this list too. I was looking up all the adaptions of Oliver Twist to try and figure out which version of it I watched before. I think it was the one on this list. Didn't get to "re"watching it so don't know for sure.

You know what, just because Gaston is nominated in the post ahead of this one... I have to make you do this appearance ranking. He was nominated in a previous topic by someone thinking you would have seen it just because popular show, but it was shut down without even appearance and now I'll push for this.

What I'd prefer more of is fixes for next year, as if next year comes and people complain about the same old stuff they did for past few seasons because of them not changing, then it's on the fact that no one had discussions in this topic about changes.

Week 10 was a calling for that. Green Bay shored up a lot of their rush defenses and again, doesn't change one major thing. Teams caught on by that point that Kyle Allen was not good and teams around there went to keep McCaffrey out of the end zone. Plus, doesn't answer whether or not OL was injured during that time, which it's not like I can answer either.

But it's still like "hey let's sit on McCaffrey for all of those weeks" instead of trusting in a better team against another run defense.

Like, at nearly every point past the halfway point of the season literally the correct answer in all but one week was "RB that is against the Jaguars." The only times it really wasn't, was Tampa Bay and when Mack was hurt during second Colts matchup.

Eh, I think just pulling up TD leaders and looking at teams they're playing doesn't really require you to play fantasy football (and isn't really very football knowledge-based in general). There are also often guys like Julio who get monster receiving yards but almost never score.

And stuff like picking which Bucs or Lions receiver this year was going to catch a TD in a game is completely inconsistent and luck-based regardless of their opponent. This year came down more to picking Michael Thomas and Dalvin Cook on the right week where they both happened to score since McCaffrey ran into a drought out of nowhere.

See, I didn't say requires I'm saying you that Fantasy is the easiest way to look at Level 7. People look too easily at "I lost this week, time to pick the same people that have done this all year in an effort to get this correct."

And then got stuck on Level 7. Like waiting on McCaffrey to suddenly burst when if you looked at Carolina's offense... they had none under Kyle Allen. His drought wasn't out of nowhere, it was teams seeing that he was literally the one player to stop on the line, and as Panthers OL got hurt, McCaffrey could do nothing. He faced no teams that were weak against the run at that time.

When you pick the names everyone knows, you don't tend to pay attention to what happened. You just look at the TDs at the end and complain about being unlucky. You shouldn't rely on luck, and people who failed a lot on Level 7 this year really were doing just that.

My personal grudge is with Level 7 in that I dislike it and would rather do Level 8's challenge. Maybe it's because I suck at it, but it feels like guessing 3 individuals who are going to score 4 cumulative TDs any given week (and with the restriction that they must all score in a specific way) is more heavily skewed towards luck than knowledge of players/teams unlike a lot of the other levels where it feels a bit more balanced between the two.

To me, it's an easier level when you do fantasy. Not everyone has time to watch games, but a lot of people may have the ability to look at just what kind of players are trending upwards and what teams allow more TDs to that position. Like far too many people just named the obvious Thomas, Hopkins, Buccaneer dudes, Julio, etc. Regardless of opponents or potential injuries. Sometimes, yes, it's luck. But a lot of this is based on luck and some knowledge, and Level 7 is more than just 'hey, what teams are good and what ones are bad.'

Naming the winning team would make it slightly harder I guess. Having as bunch of terrible teams in the league probably does make a 10 pt win easy enough to pick.

See, I don't think the winning team makes it that much harder when you're naming stuff based on terrible teams. Sometimes yes, it'd bring something to become harder because of something like one Falcons game that the obvious pick was the opposing team then suddenly turns out Falcons upset. But I think that feels good when you pick the right game but the wrong team and end up correct anyway. I think that fits for a Level 3 thing to be after some people spent a lot of time on Underdog picking.

However 10 pts still seems low. Maybe two full scores? So 14 difference to make it truly harder? But rise the "close" side to 7?

Still really sucks that I've had to miss two of these projects. First Musicals we were moving and I didn't have internet (or enough movies downloaded) to keep up with the project. Didn't have internet because our provider screwed up like 3 visits, so we had to change providers which then didn't give us internet till after the holidays.

Then this year I was watching movies at a pretty slow pace, and pushed myself to watch one one day, to find out I apparently didn't have the last third of the movie, so lost a lot of motivation to try and fix that as family started visiting and my grandmother was moving down. Then I started a seasonal job, which actually already started messing with me trying to do the Ladder contest. Can only pray I don't have moving issues when KBM's next project comes around.

Bump for time being. So is that suggesting my Level 4 is good? Also, so it's not easier than Level 2 (I know Spreads needs to move back regardless anyway), what kind of effort should be made? 15+ on the high side? I know I probably need to make the low side 7- so that it's a full one score difference (and more tantalizing).

I understand that, I did want to compile all my tiebreakers and kind of make a discussion of keepable/droppable ones, but more after I get the discussion of the more important things.

As I mentioned in Week 17, this was the first time since 2012 of the Ladder Contest that we didn't have anyone move past Week 8, so just a lot more unluckiness this year reaching the higher levels.

This year, taking over from DP I changed two things, I added a new rule of using those bonus points to skip a level that you've been stuck on and I changed up Level 4 from Point counting (30+ or 10-) to Point differential. The latter seemed to have issues, particularly in just 10+ was overly popular. I didn't really keep checking what would have been a better option and should be seen as harder between the two (to make it truly harder than something like picking underdogs), but alas, I'll see what the players think.

I can repost anything rules or what happened over the course of this topic if anyone wants to see them, but for now, time to just open this topic.

There's a thing you can use to swap heart containers for stamina vessels and vice versa. Don't worry too much about spending orbs on the wrong things. If you want more details here you go:

There's a statue in Hateno Village, a child near the entrance will lead you to it if you talk to him

Recently saw that, but The fact that he costs rupees and I'm trying to make money for a specific other Hateno quest... Not great for me.

Funny that we have so many people with the Stamina priority, and I've had heart priority strictly because of The Master Sword

Plus like my only problems with having put two stamina wheels is climbing larger mountains, which hasn't been the highest priority for me yet and I just got to the top of Dueling Peaks the other day anyway.
