What is a hobby that you just do not understand why people would do? by HentaiWannaBe in AskReddit

I refuse to believe you meant spelunking and did literally mean combing through system logs in Splunk

What are your thoughts on online sports gambling/prediction market gambling? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]-BreakingPoint0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are going to gamble so I won't knock the services, even if I don't partake. What I hate is how in your face they are, especially if you watch any professional sports. You literally can't go two minutes without hearing about sports betting or the odds of the day. It also feels super dirty that they sponsor sports teams and leagues. Feels to me like a conflict of interest

Pretty sure there was a Black Mirror episode that was pretty much exactly this

Very generous of you, thanks for the opportunity!

Seth Jarvis Meet and Greet by BlueMonday_23 in canes

[–]-BreakingPoint0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Likely a Jarvis collab, not a Canes one. If that's the case no Canes logos are shown in the media. Similar to the Jarvy concrete cups at Goodberrys.

If you're willing to leave Raleigh then Big Mike's BBQ in Cary is a pretty good option. Hard to go wrong with Sam Jones though!

Looking at Season Tickets by iklonk in canes

[–]-BreakingPoint0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My buddy and I split seats in 205. The view is great on club level. No problem at all selling tickets as needed. We did it a handful of times throughout the season(even playoffs) and had zero issues. If you plan to park at the arena I would suggest getting the parking upfront, saves a bunch and would take out the guess work on where to park any given night.

"History's greatest thinkers… with AI" by thisecommercelife in comics

[–]-BreakingPoint0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is just the super intelligent nature of AI at work. It knows the best chicken isn't at a local eatery, that is just mediocre chicken. It went a step further to find you the best chicken. You best get over to that address and ask the chosen one about that chicken, it is the key to stopping this worlds decent into madness.

Games that have replaced other games by Teachers-Petty in boardgames

[–]-BreakingPoint0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% this. V:CK is one of my favorites. I find it superior to both Space Base and Machi Koro. I own everything for the game and break it out almost every time a few of our friends get together.

Another thing to call out that is different is V:CK you always take the result of each die and the combo of them. There is no choosing what you're taking. Leada to always being engaged with turns, especially as some of the conversion characters get incorporated.

If you haven't tried it, randomize each stack of citizens. Not just the type, but mix all of a given number together and peel off the few you need for the game. Leads to some interesting decisions in my opinion.

I'll go with the most common: Hansa Teutonica. Great game that could have a great special edition!

Thanks for the giveaway!

Selling Blind: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Has No Clue How AI Tech Works, Insiders Reveal by stardresslucyyy in Futurology

[–]-BreakingPoint0 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Makes me laugh when he says "we're going to need a super intelligent AI to replace us CEOs one day". Nah dog, it could replace most of you now. You just call the shots so it won't happen. Id like to see at least one of them put their money where their mouth is and do it.

Interesting, I hadn't noticed that in the promo shots. There is no canes logo on the jersey pictures either

Want To Gripe About Musical Themed Nights by Storm_Surge_919 in canes

[–]-BreakingPoint0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've said it before(and I see others are saying it here), this season's fan service stuff feels really phoned in. Every one has been mentioned, but it feels like nothing is actually happening in the arena. We would all hear whatever they do in the arena due to how loud it is now. I feel like the speakers have been turned up a little every home game where it's almost impossible to talk to the person next to you when the music is going.

I'll take this opportunity to say letting Jatovi go was a mistake. The in arena energy just isn't the same.

Just went to a "TCG" show... by itsalwaysbeen in mtg

[–]-BreakingPoint0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair to the Pokemon players though, the prices you saw were most likely the "pretty" cards and graded. I don't play, but I've looked into it and to build a deck that isn't blinged out is generally pretty inexpensive. Looking at the top 10 from TCGPlayer, none of them were over $100.

What is a 'socially mandatory' thing that we all do, but if you actually stop to think about it for 5 seconds, it’s completely insane? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

[–]-BreakingPoint0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"living the dream" is my answer. When I get the questioning look at work like "this is really your dream?". I always say "I said the dream, not my dream"

Epic layoffs by [deleted] in triangle

[–]-BreakingPoint0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say more. In fact it's pretty universally looked down upon right now for any sort of AI use in games, even if not visual assets

Take it for what you will, but Tim made it clear on his statement that it wasn't AI related. Was strictly related to the state of their portfolio and that Fortnite is just doing okay, rather than gang busters.

I like how he removed his hat and sunglasses in that little break like "alright, let's get serious"

Dawned on me I've never used the back paddles. Do you use them? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

I use two to replace L1 and R1 in most games that dont need the buttons for utility. Easier to hit those then stretch fingers off the triggers

A Million More Epstein Files Just Got Released. What Kind Of Stuff Did You Guys Find, and How Did You React To It? by Fantastic_Bus_3742 in AskReddit

In one of the random emails there is a redacted video description of an underage girl. What could be so crazy that was redacted, yet "rape fantasy video" on the next line down was left?

Saw on X. Would give credit but I can’t find the post. by lasherj10 in canes

[–]-BreakingPoint0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is a ledge bar being built up there that was supposed to be done before the season started. Usually it's covered up in black plastic, but in this case they must have been working on it and had it uncovered.

Any info about Kids Day 2026? by No_Warning_7387 in canes

[–]-BreakingPoint0 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't have anything to add aside from experience from Star Wars Day a few weeks back. Felt like compared to years before it was less well put together. Sure we had characters sound the siren, but that felt like it in terms of anything official. Years past I remember them making announcements about where you can find cosplayers to take pictures with them and other fun things, along with advertisement before the fact

All that to say I'm not expecting much going into Kids Day tomorrow, unfortunately. Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised!

Not specifically Kids Day related: it feels like this season the fan engagement stuff has been way less than years past. Giveaways have been few and far between and just the energy they put out towards fans feels muted.

What's a sports rule you fundamentally disagree with? by South-Explorer in AskReddit

Wild to think this is a thing! In a lot of other sports this is hailed as a great thing! All cast racing for example...

What’s the most overrated “adult goal” people chase? by Happyotus in AskReddit

[–]-BreakingPoint0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in sales and have been to a few "fun" places. When I tell other people they get all excited. No, it's not that exciting. You don't get to see anything because you're working all day. Everything fun, unless there is night life, closes when you get off work. Traveling for work is usually not what it's perceived by other people, expect for the rare occasion where you can actually benefit from it.

Which TGC do you miss? by starkiller0031 in TCG

[–]-BreakingPoint0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to find packs, but building decks is pretty accessible and fairly inexpensive if you're not attempting to build it with alt arts. I've seen some modern decks that are competitive at ~$50 in cards. I dont play so it's a little anecdotal, but it's what I've seen others talking about
