A thread of games I've finished in 2026 ⬇️ Shadowrun Returns An aging CRPG, but fun nonetheless. Well realised skill/combat system that rewards branching out into social/psychological skills almost as much as becoming a 1-man army. Not as complex or involving as more modern counterparts, still fun!

I've not long got off the plane in Valencia, so no idea what's going on with the Falcons game. Gotta get back to the house before I can check the game, not sure if this is worse than watching 😬

You can’t be playing poorly week after week AND also be a child. You gotta pick a struggle

If we're just operating on a snap by snap basis, CJGJ has to be one of the least valuable players in the NFL so far

Just saw Penix headed to the tent, not a great day to be seeing Tua on the field...

I get that, with Williams back and others, the Bears are supposedly a deep play-off contender. But can the Falcons please, please, just clear that low bar of 'competent football team' today please?

Which is somewhat surprising, given that most of the Royal Family also want to throttle each other & that's on it's way out too!

A few thoughts after finally watching the game: The Falcons are not a robust team yet, when conditions are right, they have shown they can be both a DEF & OFF powerhouse, but a a team can't be dependent on those Goldilocks situations. Gotta grind out those ugly wins to be a good team.

Penix looks legit and it's not like a rib injury is the same as past injuries for Penix. Hell, I've managed to crack a rib playing golf, so it's unsurprising Penix may have suffered similar or worse. Horrible injury, incredibly painful even if you're just sat/lying down in the wrong way.

I appreciate Jake Matthews, has he been the best LT ever? No, but solid, dependable and available are still good traits. I think, deep down, Jake probably knows that this is his last season. For the betterment of the team, Jake should walk away. Which leaves the Falcons needing Tackles in the draft.

I'm going to hazard a guess that this will be absolutely insufferable to listen to

Wow Burkhardt and Brady are going to be calling Bears-Falcons next Sunday. This might be the first time Brady is calling a Falcons game

The people doomsaying about the Stefanski hire were probably the same people excited about hiring Raheem Morris a couple of years ago

very funny to watch the falcons fanbase realize someone who won two coach of the year awards might not be terrible at this

Shough is the perfect avatar for this Saints team, in that he gets a lot of positive press because he's better than people expected but is not actually good

Skattebo is like one of those cars you had as a kid, that you'd pull back to wind it up & it would rush forwards in one direction until it hit something

Just finished watching the game. Slow start for Penix but grew into the game & took command, very promising. Feel free to induct Bijan into the HoF right now. Drake may finally get the recognition he deserves as one of the top WR's in the NFL. CJ Henderson has played really well all 3 games

It's as if a "Live, Laugh, Love" post had somehow managed to snort cocaine

this lady on threads posted this big huge thing about how artists are just jealous that everyday people can now use AI to create better art that gets more attention so i click through to see her “art”… i wish there was an unveil feature here:

Game 3 of the NFL season, and it feels like we're already at a make or break point. Penix needs to be the tide that raises the Falcon's boat so to speak, otherwise, it's probably tanking season...

What a clown 😂

Trump tells the UN he is officially changing the name of Artificial Intelligence to "Super Intelligence" and says all US government documents will now be changed to refer to "SI"

Just watching the post-game press conference, injuries, injuries, injuries, no update on Penix, lots of non-committal responses. Should have put Penix on IR, Tua should be on IR, Rush shouldn't even be playing. Abysmal.

This. This this this. It's just about finding out.

It comes down to this: just make the decision that eliminates all doubt. It Strand sucks, we'll get off his ass. Cooper sucks just as much
