2024 saw three feuds across three separate promotions that were all noted for being exceptionally personal and culminated in extremely violent cage matches

It feels like when moving from 3DS to Switch Tomodachi Life exchanged being a life sim for being a sandbox game.

Don't really have anything else to expand on, I returned to Tomodachi Life (3DS) and that's the conclusion I came to as to why the newer game just couldn't pull me in. I have about 800 hours in the 3DS edition but could only play the new one for about 2 weeks. I think you can make the exact same statement about Animal Crossing too, another series where I couldn't get into the Switch game at all but returned to older ones and realized what was missing. I thought it was just nostalgia talking initially.

I don't think that makes LTD a bad game, just a game with a different design philosophy

Sigur Ros are underrated IMO

I know that they're very well-recognized but even then, i think having as consistently great of a discography for as long as they have maintained it while also making music that oftentimes doesn't really sound like anything else is really impressive. Their debut sucks and is definitely them trying to figure out what they're trying to do here, but overall their run from 1998-2013 is quite something with the volume of work they released and how high the quality floor is. And then to return 10 years later with ATTA, which I was worried would be bad, but it felt like they never left.

Their sound probably isn't for everyone but they are real standouts for me, as is Jonsi's solo work and especially his work with Alex Somers. Riceboy Sleeps is probably in my top 5 favorite albums ever.

Basically what I'm saying is, I think Sigur Ros is regarded as a good/great band while I regard them as among the greatest bands ever.

Also hot take but Svefn-g-englar probably doesn't even crack their top 25 songs for me.

You don't build a legacy by uplifting yourself, you build one by uplifting those who will come after you. My favorite wrestler ever and one of the most influential and important performers of his era!

Why are there multiple posts on here about Shota Umino turning heel?

And do the people making them know that January 2025 was 18 months ago?

After a lot of doubt, he had a genuinely great G1, and used his injury to tell a compelling story with himself that evolved throughout the tournament. A true artist, I hope he gets a face turn soon

Big ups to the extremely unselfish older generation in this G1

Zack going on a 4-match losing streak, SANADA and Goto getting the headlock over, Shingo losing in main events to Tsuji, Boltin, and Yuto, the four former world champions in the tournament really worked hard to get the next generation over.

Jake also going into his match with Boltin saying "there is no way I can beat this guy, just look at him!" and then soundly losing was brilliant

What's the story with TJP?

In the post match comments yesterday following Jeff's return he said he won't return to the Empire because "some emo kid talked a load of shit about him and nobody stuck up for him."

What is he talking about? I am 90% sure said "emo kid" is TJP, surely.

Great promo from Moloney following today's show

Seemingly setting up a title match for the finals show, and just a good promo in general. I think Gabe's character would work a lot better if there was more on an emphasis on the fact that this "AEW ichiban" thing is a facade and he still does want to prove himself to NJPW at the end of the day

Top 10 matches from the G1 Block stage according to Cagematch

Takeshita vs. Tsuji 8.20

Newman vs. Sabre 8.30

Goto vs. Tsuji 8.32

Takagi vs. Tsuji 8.33

Goto vs. Takeshita 8.41

Oiwa vs. Tsuji 8.63

Boltin vs. Takeshita 8.66

Oiwa vs. Takeshita 8.71

Tsuji vs. Yuto 8.80

Boltin vs. Tsuji 9.09

So almost entirely A Block matches but also due to GOK and Jake most of the lowest rated matches of the tournament are A Block as well. B Block matches were all steady around 6 and 7.
