Fair enough!

Why you gotta bring that up? And I was for a little bit haha

Why bother with the Raspberry Pi at all? Emulators on your computer will run fine. I’ve got emulators for everything from the original Atari up through the PS2.

There was definitely no scale st the 5’s, that is relatively new. 90-99 was 4 but the rest is accurate. And yeah, combine it with the fact that many people retired after 6 seasons to get the bonus carryover and you have HoF players with less than 500 TPE I think haha. Hell Beketov was 2nd generation and he got into the Hall with i think somewhere around 550. I had more than that to start last season which was only year 2...

That would be the ESHL then. So far as I know Scotty was never involved in the original SHL and, for that matter, the original SHL had no PT’s. My time in it, the OHL, and then the VHL were all within like 6 months so it kinda blues together. But yeah, shit was unforgiving. I think the jobless cap was 7 or something (the caps merged early on though) and if you didn’t put in the effort for a PT you damn well weren’t getting full credit for it. Have I ranted about that yet? I don’t remember. I feel like it was part of one of them. Man we were tough back in the day.

Hell, in season 1 as I recall PT’s weren’t even worth 6 max, weren’t they only 4? Or was that the ESHL?

Do you remember when PT’s weren’t worth 6 TPE? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Normally this is where this old man of the VHL would be bringing up a topic of conversation or something about things that have changed in the league and how @Quik and I, as old guard, are going to bring it back to former glory... wait did I say that? You didn’t read that. Anyway, this week there’s some bonus TPE to talk about the WJC because the VHLM loves the attention so I’m going to change the topic I had planned to be that instead. Back in my day we only had the World Cup and it was only every 2 seasons and we were damn happy about it. Now you whipper snappers get your own version of it every bloody year. And I know, it existed before this version but only for a few seasons because in my day we disliked the VHLM the way you’re supposed to. I guess it’s an interesting enough concept though. Especially since the young guys don’t make the WC teams often and the top prospect game has kinda disappeared. So maybe I’m just being bitter about it starting after Thompson was passed the ability to play in it, who knows. Either way they’ll have their fun and I don’t need to aim it this season so that’s nice. I guess I should make some predictions and shit though right? That’s what people like to do for these things. I think Canada is gonna repeat as winners, especially if @Jubo07 is at their head like he was last season and for the WC since he seems to have the international golden touch. Without looking at any of the rosters or games I’m gonna say US takes silver and Europe takes bronze. These predictions are based on absolutely nothing of course. Anyway, that’s rant enough and I have no real question to ask this time. Maybe like, how do you like how much attention the VHLM gets these days after so many years in the shadows? That’ll work I guess. If you made it to the end of this ramble then congratulations, here’s a picture of my puppy as a prize.

Man, we don’t have nearly as much discussion as we used to in here, I’m gonna blame Discord because I’m old and grumpy. Anyway, for any of you other old farts that were around during the wonder that was the N64 and Conker’s Bad Fur Day, I offer you this gem:

@Will is definitely still gonna be around as the head simmer and doing portal stuff. Think of him as like Executive Admin. He just won’t be ha sling day to day operations as much.

A bigger theme week is coming soon, we didn’t want to have this stomp on that when so few people are involved in the WJC.

We survived the Victatorship, we’ll be fine

God that pun, I knew I should have announced this myself haha. Seriously though into been a please @Will. I know you aren’t really going anywhere but still. We got off a bit rocky with where the league was when you first came back to active commishing duties but I like the think we lead the league not only through those but into a better future as well... man that sounded cheesy. Anyway, enjoy the pseudo-retirement while you keep adding to the portal. As for you @Quik, I look forward to working with you. Ever since returning you’ve lit a fire under many an ass and are always looking for ways the league can improve. It made you an obvious choice when we were looking for who should join the blue team and I’m glad you accepted.

That’s a nice one to see, even though I aided @CowboyinAmerica increase his goal lead over me haha

Pepper fucking stealing games.

I am apparently incapable of simple math and /or am blind haha

How do you figure? 8 from the GM selections and 12 get in. Odinsson is the 12th right now by 3 votes.

As it stands right now I likely won’t since all the GM chosen players were forwards. Kinda sucks since I was a day late to the ballot and many votes were already in but I can accept the annoyance.
