(+) Yeah! (+)

Commentator had me sweating on whether the Pearl might be missed.

---

I am a bit worried that Golden Gloves are behind the Shovel and he still doesn't have the Shovel.
---

Good try!
---

My browser crashed near the very end so I missed the end but I'm guessing that one big key caused problems?

---

Yeah. Took too long to get the Misery Mire Big Key in Palace of Darkness.
---

Yeah, if I had went into PoD dark maze the first time I was there, I'm pretty sure I win that race. I didn't want to expend an extra key if I could avoid it, though, because I didn't want to be on a PoD small hunt later. That being said, that was way closer than I expected and I'm fairly happy with how I played. Don't think I made any glaring mistakes.

---

Didn't have a chance to tune in tonight, but glad to hear it went well.

---

Braves naturally got crushed in their first attempt to close out the series

at least we've got games 6 and 7 at home so you'll be able to sense on television the entire fanbase visibly seizing up as we continue to blow this

---

Trying to figure out if I want to make a change in the Ladder contest but last time I did that, it cost me passing a level.

But at the same time, I'm trying to think of a good reason both the Chiefs and the Titans aren't scoring 30.

---

has baseball always had this high a % of blowouts?
---

Everyone remembers the good games and forgets that there are indeed a lot of blowouts in baseball

---

Rayman Legends World 3 beated! That one was pretty fun. The Terminator 2 reference at the end of the chase level was great, and then the musical number literally being Eye of the Tiger was fantastic.

---

now I'm trying to figure out if it'd be worse for the Braves to blow a 3-1 lead to the Dodgers again or be the team that lost to the cheaters in the World Series

Started watching Odd Taxi. Very weird anime, but so far pretty good!

Finished this. Very good; I definitely recommend it!

---

Wheel of Time book 7 is starting off with lots of Perrin, which is good.

---

If you find all Perrin content equally good you're going to love the next few books
---

I mean, he's been pretty high quality ever since he got his wolf powers, so that sounds good to me!

Things can always change if they start giving him bad plot lines but as a character he has not failed to deliver yet.

hey now, i thought we already agreed that blowing the lead was worse
---

that was when I thought the Red Sox were making it...!

being the team who let the cheaters win is a different sort of black mark

---

Red Sox also have the stench of CHEATING on them even if it wasn't as egregious as the Astros. no one could win in that series. AL bringing shame to the league.

---

yeah but at least Alex Cora pretends to be contrite instead of playing the victim like those cheating Astros

---

also there's literally a headline on espn.com that says "Against all odds, here come the Dodgers"

like give me a break the Dodgers have been the favorites for the last 5+ years stop acting like they're some sort of underdog

---

Tennessee leading Alabama after the first quarter

this game is already a success

---

Its like how majoras mask won against all odds

---

plucky underdog Zelda

---

Tennessee only down 7 at halftime but Alabama gets the ball first in the third quarter so we'll have to come out and make a stop to stay in the game

---

big time HR for Rosario to put us up 4-1

I think my wife is more nervous than I am

---

Tennessee still only down 7 going into the 4th quarter but Alabama is inside the ten so this probably won't last much longer

---

man we almost forced a turnover at the goal line

so close

---

and then we get a first play touchdown on the next drive

this game combined with the Braves game is doing a number on my nerves

---

and we let them score almost as quickly

whoops

---

The final score won't be indicative of how hard Tennessee played against Alabama. We're still a long way from where we want to be, but for the first time in a while, it feels like we're moving in the right direction.

now to hope the Braves don't choke

---

i feel like that game turned against tennessee pretty much the moment i started watching it

Which was right before Alabama's TD that I think should have been a touchback unless there was an angle they showed later that was more clear.

i am sorry

---

well like I said, I'm honestly pretty pleased with how well they played despite the final score

winning was always a long shot, but I just wanted them to look competitive and see the offense make big plays against a top tier team, which they did

---

FFXIV Shadowbringers 5.3's ending is so good

Like an hour of uninterrupted cutscenes and it feels - to some extent - like the end of the Infinity War saga, if you will

Of course, Endwalker still awaits . . .

I like how even the game is calling Endwalker "the final act"

And the fourth-wall-breaking of Alisaie being bummed she and Alphinaud didn't get new (superhero) costumes omg
---

Atlanta Braves make the World Series for the first time since Final Fantasy VIII was a brand new game

I distinctly remember this because after we got swept by the Yankees I just went upstairs and started a replay of FFVIII

Coincidentally, FFXIV was up to 5.3 when I played the game last summer! Made for a very good stopping point after putting 300 hours into it. Was glad that was when I happened to play it.

Not sure if I'll re-sub before EW comes out or wait for release date.

ya go my birthplace team?

Oh hey, I didn't know you were from Georgia.

---

well, i'm not really "from" there - moved to MA when i was 3. don't really have any investment in most of their teams, especially the hawks, but i'm always happy to see the braves do well!
---

Derrick Henry is working on becoming the team's #1 QB now too I see

Haha, that's awesome. Excellent stopping point - I can definitely see the appeal.

As an aside, I've been using that "Alisaie faceplants into table" gif all year. I'm glad to finally have context...!
---

Derrick Henry threw more touchdown passes today than Patrick Mahomes

---

also I had good beats on the Washington/Green Bay under in Ladder because both teams kept failing in scoring opportunities

glad I didn't switch to Titans/Chiefs over!

---

I win in fantasy as long as Elijah Mitchell doesn't score 35+ points

A long TD run in the first quarter means I actually have to pay attention to this game now

---

Nothing like going from being projected to win by 30 points on Sunday morning to losing by 30 points on Sunday evening.

---

that's been me in reverse the last two weeks

it's been nice to get ahead early and cruise to an easy win today

---

yeah, football
---

when's the last time you willingly watched a football game

---

literally never
