Jared, Excited Comic Guy

I collect a ton of things, mainly old media, video games, and cards. I've played Magic for 15 years and I've worked on a tabletop racing game for over 4 years. Sports fan, including the Carolina Hurricanes and other NC teams. Also pansexual. He/Him/His

Somewhere in the deep dark depths of the IWC, a short man from New York that somehow has a protection racket in an indie company is typing up how this is terrible for wrestling. Real fans are happy, though. And wondering what it would take for that protection racket to drop said short man.

I had hope for the Orioles under new management, but now? I feel like no matter who GMs or owns this team, they're content to be nothing more than "two years away from being two years away". Like an AL East version of the Angels, only with slightly more recent success.

Terri Metzger’s Adley Rutschman all-star jersey arrived two weeks ago. She planned to wear it to Tuesday’s game in hopes he’d sign it. Her husband Dave: “Now, we got to go to Boston.” On the O’s fans who processed their feelings a day after the trade:

Now that the EA Saudi deal has officially closed and EA is fully owned by Saudi investment, EA muppets are gonna have to decide if their integrity is worth continuing to shill for bad sports games just to get some worthless exclusives. Well, assuming they even had integrity to start with.

This is how I feel about it as well. I don't want to be welcoming to the kind of people that are okay with blocking disaster relief funds on purely partisan grounds. I also don't want to debate about whether or not my trans friends get to exist how they want to. I left X for that specific reason.

My thoughts on Bluesky not being welcoming to Republicans is Trump blocks disaster relief to states voting blue, & is also legally codifying anyone who opposes him as a terrorist deserving violence, & his kidnapping brute gangs terrorize the streets, & there's much more but I'm out of characters

I'm debating whether or not to overhaul my templates further than I already have by making individual templates for each wrestling company, racing series, and sub-niche (TV show, movie, video game, etc) I work on instead of grouping them by overall theme. That would be a lot of work.

I optimized all my Race Day templates and managed to shrink them pretty substantially. Had some leftover stuff I didn't need in most of the templates, so getting rid of that saved me a decent chunk of space. Might also make Photopea run a bit smoother since I've had some freezing problems lately.

We also can't forget how much wrestling chatter gets posted on here. If WrestleSky didn't exist, the app might not have achieved some of the heights it has. I just wish the staff over here wasn't so hellbent on getting in their own way by chasing an audience that'll never come over.

Bluesky absolutely can expand outside of a specific slice of American Politics in pretty straightforward ways. Like Twitter is still aggressively used in Japan and that's a good place to start chipping away. Entire industries. Getting sports posters on here has made the site more engaging.

This is yet another reason I don't take the high road with the way RFK Jr. sounds. You don't give these people high road for any reason whatsoever. You give them an inch, they take a mile. Call out that he sounds like he ate a colony of wasps before talking and stand on that shit.

RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. 2 years ago this week, I walked away from X for good and it was easily the best decision I could've made. No longer do I dread checking my social media notifications. I actually like where I am now.

You know, I saw a lot of people on SCJerk dunking on Mox for trying to get into position for a move off the turnbuckle, but I bet you anything they won't show that same vitriol for Phil Brooks missing a moonsault by several feet in the same match that he shit himself in.

I probably could've made this a few months ago when I had it on my WIP list originally, but nonetheless, here's Thekla as champion, set to take the track. Gotta say, being able to do Raw Deal style variants for this thing is the most fun thing.

A variant of Thekla for Race Day Revamped that features her as champion. The official name in Race Day canon is "AEW's Toxic Champion".

Watching a sports streamer I watch and he just posted a graphic that says EA FC 27's super expensive version has preordered more than GTA VI has in a lot of countries. Just reinforcing how dumb the average sports gamer is. No critical thinking, mindless buying of the newest shiny thing.

This is the big thing for me. We put all this stock into prospect rankings and how one player was traded for the 17th ranked this and the 23rd ranked that, only for someone that was never ranked to end up being better than the entire system. Prospects are not guaranteed in any sport, esp. baseball

Prospects in general are overrated. It isn’t the rest of the leagues fault the Dodgers are willing to trade them.
