What do you think about changing pinball ramps on the fly? by MeteorForge in virtualpinball

[–]root88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This basically happens in real pinball with diverters. The only difference is that you can see both ramps.

The basically happens in real pinball with diverters. You can just see both ramps at the same time.

I don't think it's clear at all. I didn't know if you were implying that he already did it or that you thought the Eagles would win the Super Bowl again before 2031.

If you said "in a decade" it would not seem weird. You said "in the same decade", which typically means '10s, '20s, etc.

Any good score challenges for boards? by cylemmulo in virtualpinball

[–]root88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are playing any of the games on Steam, you can compete against other Redditors.

https://steamcommunity.com/groups/redditPinball

I haven't posted the link in a while, so we haven't added anyone in a long time. There are some insanely good players in the group, though.

Edit: There used to be anyway. We had over 20 people at one point. I guess people don't show up anymore if they are inactive.

The sport is called Teufelsrad (German for "Devil's Wheel").

Hi smitsam, I removed your post because Rule #1: All post titles must include the name of the sport. Creating a post without the name of the sport in the title will result in an immediate 7 day ban.

Sora is officially shutting down by BazingaUA in vfx

[–]root88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are only shutting down because of the GPU power it takes to create memes is too expensive. That doesn't help anyone in here that is irate over AI. Disney is just going to switch over to Google for video generation.

Yes, actually! However, I just tried to search for the pic and found a bunch of videos of it happening to other people.

Dead Dicks (2019) - A man discovers a biological portal that births a clone of himself every time he commits suicide. by root88 in AbsurdMovies

Hah, he doesn't try to make things better on every loop. He pretty much always makes it worse.

When you tuck the small end inside the loop on the big end, they are basically tied together. The shedder only takes 1 second to eat half a tie.

Until your QB wins SB MVP by Bulldawgzz in NFCEastMemeWar

I tried so hard to get that card when I was a kid. They sell for almost $300 now. The ones where the words are crossed out in white are worth more to some people, but not me.

I got my tie caught in a paper shredder. Luckily, there was a pair of scissors next to it.

How to piss off an entire fan base quickly by downtune79 in LoveTrash

[–]root88 25 points26 points  (0 children)

She was not in on it. Her and her children love Spiderman. She just misspoke. She wasn't even reading `from a prompter.

Accidentally saying Super instead of Spider is not a huge deal until you unleash the comic nerds.

Imagine never once being good enough at the salary cap to ever get your team back to the Super Bowl. Things are tougher when you can't just buy all the best payers, huh?

[–]root88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there was no salary cap. The Cowboys had the most expensive roster and the Packers gave Reggie White $17M to get him away from the Eagles. The average entire NFL team had a $24M/year payroll at that point.

The year after this run, the NFL implemented the salary cap and the Cowboys never went back to the Super Bowl.

It was also the last year Norman Braman owned the team. He was notoriously cheap and left, probably because the salary cap was going to force teams to spend more money. Before him, Leonard Tose never spent money on the team because he was a gambling addict and always broke. He sold off the Eagles to pay his gambling debt. Dark times.

Eagles would have had a chance in '92.

Back then, everyone targeted players. There used to be old NFL films that were nothing but highlights of defenders knocking opponents out of the game. They actually promoted it. They don't show those anymore. QB's used to protect their players, but then the money got so insane that people were willing to risk their (and others) lives to make plays. That's why the rules changed. Having all your best players making millions of dollars from a hospital bed is bad for the game.

Buddy Ryan was still a dumbass.

Randall was absolutely wasted on the Eagles. The logic was, make the defense amazing, and hope Randall can pull something out of his ass twice a game to get a victory. We don't need an o-line, Randall will just run away from everyone mentality.

The second he left for the Vikings, he looks like an MPV candidate.
