Matt Ufford was one of the SBNation / Vox people let go yesterday. I enjoyed his stuff from the KSK days.

Yeah online chess is dope.

Actually Rainbow Six Siege is a great spectator eSport because they have excellent casting tools and the hilight players through walls so when you are POV you can see the guy hiding and wonder if they will see them in time etc.

To be fair, before this were were focusing on "killing average" and now it's "lives ruined percentage", sure the book was a miss but we really changed the way we evaluate serial killers.

WWE and UFC follow the combat sports/pro wrestling models that have been around for decades at this point. It's not really anything new.

The talent should be unionized, but that's an entirely separate can of worms.

Wwe wrestlers are in no way independent contractors though. They are salaried employees with no benefits.

I know we can't really lionize SB Nation rightnow, I mean, who the gently caress Furloughs the Shutdown Fullcast.

But god loving damnit that Mariners series is so good.

That youtube comment sums it up - "I could watch a Jon Bois series on how I personally was a giant idiot, and still enjoy it."
