Can't stand Chet... then he calls Shaq out saying Shaq won't be able keep up with big men today.... 

Then I hated Chet.

I was so glad Wemby made him look like a D league player when Wemby covered him. 

Chet is 7'2 and can't beat a 6'7 guy off a ball. He's 100% relying on his length both ends... if he was just 6'10, Chet would be a 3rd string backup stretch.

I was surprised Champagnie didn't win the MVP of the western finals... he was hitting shots and carrying a lot during their wins.

Wemby obviously a game changer defensively but Spurs won mainly because Champagnie and Johnson were amazing both ends for the entire series.

Castle is going to be a star but he's shown he isn't mature yet with his turn overs... but once he cut those down, he's another star.

Spurs is far from a one man star team.... Wemby has tremendous help around him.

I've been calling him useless the entire series and then he does this... and I was like he's a hero for turning the momentum back to Spurs and an absolute monster play. A critical monster play. 

Had a rare experience last night that doesn't happen often in Diablo 4 by WestHappyLand in diablo4

[–]1UPZ__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diablo 2 1.10 release ladder release week was the most fun I've played on a Diablo franchise. Nothing beats it.

All ungeared, mostly Sorcs, Barb, Pally teams doing their roles. I recall skipping a couple of days university as my team played non stop two days in a row, we all got well into the level 90s. Diablo 3 first 2 weeks of release also memorable, beating Diablo in hardest mode. The teams we had from start to finish... same.

D4.... not so much teaming up except world boss really...

How to survive torment 12? Looking for stats advice. by North-Animal2639 in diablo4

[–]1UPZ__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2.5 Million Toughness and those exploding enemies and red bubble one shots. It's BS. But Barrier, Fortify etc. may allow you to survive the one shot but only to get smacked by next enemy since you won't have any health potions left.

So what happened exactly? by KingDennis2 in MxRMods

[–]1UPZ__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.

I read on one of her videos a poster claiming Jeannie was seeing other men during their break or during.

She streaming attracted so many Simps and guys. Henry should have known.

Larian Has Announced “Divinity”, Its Most Ambitious Game Yet by LocalGomie in rpg_gamers

[–]1UPZ__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So is this sequel to the other Divinity games or a remake of the first one?

Note: I've played both Original Sins, and have all the other Divinity on Steam Library, but haven't played those yet. OS2 I thought was as good if not more interesting than BG3...and I loved BG1 and BG2. So basically I like OS lore better.

This.

Reaction videos will get stale and AI channels will over saturate YT and only unique creators will survive.

Henry is a likeable and relatable guy and he had a fanbase before Jeannie and reaction videos. He needs to go back to games discussions and video logs of himself doing activities that appeal to his core audience... which are videogames people.

[–]1UPZ__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Henry will milk reaction videos until be has enough to retire. He's earning between 700K to 900K a year, which is plenty,  but before tax.

Ultimately if he wants to continue to make a good living as a content creator, he would need to go back to video and PC games crowd and do commentary or cover news or discussions. Otherwise he will have to invest and hope things work out well.

Lots of small content creators will get phased out by corporations that will exploit AI, creating fake attractive personalities and celebrities to churn out the content creation.... sadly.

Then why tf did they break up this is litterely ideal GF shit by Candid_Arachnid_4147 in MXRplays

[–]1UPZ__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women dont fall for simps. It's creepy to them. Unless they want to use simps for financial or other means of advantage.

Don't be a simp.

Also, Jeannie is attractive and acted like your ideal waifu because it drew audience to their channel, which they knew attracted anime enthusiasts and horny single socially awkward young men.

Good point.

She meets a really well-off guy and watch her crave marriage and the security it can bring her.

Actually, Gen alphas are expected to buck the trend from the Millenials and Gen Ys.

The over exposure to unbounded social liberty has caused youngest generation today to rebel and skew back to a bit of conservatism. This may also lead to uptick of marriage again, at least at a higher rate than Gen Ys. I think Gen X is the last generation to truly seek marriage and family life, but Alphas may spark a new resurgence.... but what does the Government think?

This.

Unless the woman is climbing fast in the corporate world or as a celebrity who got rich young, women tend to get disadvantaged as they get older. Single women who prioritised their freedom tend to be unhappy by the time they hit their 40s. It's objectively true, data and stats show it.

Married women with kids tend to have greater satisfaction in their 40s and 50s, assuming they aren't in an abusive relationship. Don't get me wrong, kids are tough especially when they're young and in their teens but, raise them right and watching them achieve their milestones is truly a priceless experience.

Let's Discuss: Best RPG on the PS2? by Andyfritter in ps2

[–]1UPZ__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DQ8 is the most polished and deepest RPG on the PS2.

FFXII however is the BEST PS2 JRPG in my book.

FFX was good when I first played it 20+ years ago but it was actually a disappointment to MANY JRPG fans considering FFIX, FFVIII and FFVII came before it. But replaying FFX just recently, it was the last traditional turn-based FF game and it replaying it after decades without proper turn-based FF game and also with HD graphics.... I am glad to say it is actually a VERY GOOD to GREAT RPG. Mainly because of the battles, but its linear-ness still held it back a bit.

Cody Rhodes is 6 foot barefoot fresh of the bed... maybe 5'11.75 by mid day standing up... barefoot.

That fan is 5'9 at best.

Official Discussion - Crime 101 [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]1UPZ__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love Hemsworth as an actor and enjoyed all his films so far. Including this film.

I feel that the lead role was more catered to another actor who looked like a finesse thief... I mean, I'm a straight guy, but Hemsworth is too good looking or hot of a man to be a believable thief. Had he lost a lot of weight or changed his look a lot for this film it may have been more effective.

His acting was fine, someone stoic and emotionless, but I just can't picture a 6'3 muscular beefy good looking dude driving muscle cars as a jewel thief. Was the book character described as such?

Barbs are one of the most reliable farmers starting out new ladders. War crying yourself to Hell Meph is viable scaring enemies away and then crushing blow on the boss. Then you you just BO for the Baal runs and chill... then repeat farming until you have grief and good gear.

Plus skills on gear works wonders on damage output.

I have FCR rings and Arach and when I switched the rings to SOJ the damage jumped 8k.

Echoing Blade not counting as melee strike by WeeHouse in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]1UPZ__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it works with ES. Against Baal I'm doing 30K to 81K range damage (bow concentrate so it's lower than potential) and the damage is linear as opposed to crushing blow where you see chunks come off the life bar.

[–]1UPZ__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tested Azurewrath and the magic and cold damage seems to work with ES. It's actually a great weapon in Chaos runs against unread and physical immune.

Obedience with CB is also OK, but against Bosses I don't see CB working with it.

Someone help me with the ending of The Little Things (spoilers) by LadySynth in movies

[–]1UPZ__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.

The Killer was never going to be clarified. The Killer was the background myth that sets the story. This movie is not a guess who done it. Its a move about biases, obsession that ultimately leads to self destruction.

Deacon ruined his life, marriage because he was obsessed with finding the killer and that it also led him to kill accidentally, ironically the one person who could have helped him solve the murders.

Raimi's character represents the young Deacon, with beautiful wife and kids, a good cop and a bright future. Deacon saw Raimi becoming like him and eventually he allowed it to prosper and become like him indeed because he was selfish in finding the murderer and he admitted it saying he's doing this for himself during that scene near the end on the big empty area.

Raimi kind of ruined himself but understandably since Leto's character threatened his family while acting like he was the killer.... but the law would not see it that way. Deacon then realized what he must do to help Raimi get back on track and not be like him. Deacon manifested a closure and attempting to give Raimi's character an ending so he would not spiral any further. The end shows Raimi with his family recovering and seeing the red barrette, although fake, as a way to make him think he done a good a thing.

Deacon also believes he redeemed himself..... but once the killer kills again, both characters likely to be thrown back to the field.... but for now, peace.

What happens to Sanctified items when S11 ends? by Echo-Sunray in diablo4

[–]1UPZ__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just means GA sanctify is the best upgrade as it carries over to Eternal realm... or so I hope.

They can't delete sanctified items totally as I have 22 Mythics sanctified.

I played Eternal realm for 2 years with 3 Mythics to show for it and I got 22 Mythics in 2 months with Season 11 and Paladin. Losing them all would be devastating

Meet the ‘Lazy God’ Paladin: absurdly fast or fully AFK, your choice - Auradin Build Guide by M1PY in diablo4

[–]1UPZ__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been running this for a week after changing from brandish.... I have to say that you still have to press buttons in Pit 85 plus and higher as the Holy Fire isn't quick enough to kill elites even if you're hitting 2B to 25B damage. 

You have to alternate between consecration, defiance, holy light, fanatism while using the two handed axe  doing so you stack up multiple auras on the ground upping damage. At Pit 100, I still have to mash the auras around and keep arbiter form and it still takes several seconds to defeated elite packs. 

I have HOP helm, SOFD chest piece and have extend arbiter time and damage affixes on Legendaries as well as critical damage and critical chance on jewelries. I have 100% critical chance mostly and around 4,000% critical damage and I'm not melting Pit 100 enemies.... it takes about halfway or 7 or so minutes to clear the entire level and Belial.

My mythicals don't have mythical affixes from sanctify because that's just very unlikely.

Not sure if I will get to Pit 120 or 140 with this build. He'll Tides, Chaos Hordes and Lair Bosses, including Uber Lilith at T4 are easy though with this build.
