I have like a 13 year wisconsin dynasty and get Iowa and Minnesota every year, even after I've made the B1G a super conference

Weird. I've done a few test dynasties and inevitably I end up with a season without Minnesota or Iowa on the schedule or where Michigan & Ohio St don't play etc. The only workaround I've found is to create divisions but then you rarely play the other half of the conference

If anyone wants a super dope Cupcake team builder team search for Chernobyl Power. I juiced them a little with a better freshman QB, RB and WR. Plus their logo/jerseys are just sick.

It took a while to get it online, but my Lightning Strike Warden build is an absolute blast. Amazing mapping, the single target damage just keeps getting better and better, and it feels like there's plenty of room to keep improving both DPS and defense. Glad I played it too because I will be surprised if Warden/tinctures aren't nerfed.

Picked up Borderlands 3 for the first time in a few years. Had to start completely over because I couldn't get my PS4 save data to transfer over. I never had problems with the game the first time around, but it still strikes me how insanely easy the game is on new game. I don't have any of the Guardian Rank advantages, just playing it straight. I've farmed four bosses for legendaries when I've come upon them, and doing so trivializes absolutely everything in the game. The only times I've died are times where I accidently blew myself up.

I need to get to TVHM and Mayhem rankings.

Finally got around to playing Hades, just completed my first successful run. This game is so freaking good man. Gonna keep playing, there are so many OP builds you can put together it’s nutty.

Between Returnal being my favorite PS5 game and now Hades being awesome, I guess roguelikes might be my thing and I might need to explore more.

To allow you some grace, those are two of the best Roguelikes of all time.

This is the best league of PoE in years and I don't think it's particularly close.

I was completely obsessed with Affliction (and Sanctum), but it's hard to argue with the currency exchange alone. A much needed banger after basically sitting out of last league.

I'm pretty much exclusively a historical 4x guy but I absolutely loved Hades. Brought me back to my button smashing teenage arcade days.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

I'd add Dead Cells to the Mount Rushmore of Rougelikes as well. I love how well that game has been supported over the years with new features, modes, equipment, and stages.

Also Darkest Dungeon 1 if you like turn-based roguelikes.

Excited for five years from now when a devoted graphic artist retextures and reshades the game so it doesn't look like a cartoon.

I know it's getting dumped on, but I actually really like the art style. It's a lot more interesting and smooth than the generic "life like" attempts we've seen forever.

I get your point, but I just don't want smooth. This is a world with a super bloody, gritty, backstabbing, dark world lore and history. It's one of my favorite game worlds and it just doesn't feel right to me that it's cartoony. Keeping an open mind...it's just hard :)

The art style does not bother me, and I liked the most recent trailer. No clue if Bioware is going to get it together for this game, but I'm hopeful!
