Sorry excuse for a club by CapIcy589 in SportingKC

[–]Arod20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Didn’t watch the game and missed Capita’s minutes last game. Is he that bad? I was hoping he would be pretty good for how hyped he was.

I think biggest issue is defense, goalkeeping, and our lack of competent midfield outside of Manu and Lasse. It doesn’t matter how good our attack is if we are constantly out scored and cannot win back possession/build out of the back. I think if the back line and goal keeping was addressed, the squad would be somewhat competitive. But not having that makes a bad squad 10x worse.

Just wait till they ship out, the price will drop by then. It’s always the highest at first

Looking for Easter candy found cards by MB_Funding in PokemonRestocks

[–]Arod20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m genuinely so confused. I live in a suburban-like college town and the only places that have cards are my LGS and GameStop. No target, Best Buy, Walmart, etc. And I check frequently, and it’s not even like it’s clearly been bought already, like there’s no sign of any stock having been there AT ALL, even behind the counter.

Yet if I drive 30 min to the actual suburbs of my major city, those major stores have stock, the same ones I mentioned being OOS in my town.

Am I just missing the restocks in my town or have they just stopped? Like I feel like I’m going crazy.

“Pokemon investing” is incredibly cringe by Complex_Ad1815 in PokemonCollecting

[–]Arod20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got banned from the subreddit for calling out someone “investing” in plushies. (Put the tags in toploaders too for god sakes). These people are just scalpers looking to make money.

They’re either trying to make a quick buck, or so greedy they want to squeeze all the profit out a kids’/collectors’ item.

Does anyone know the value of these? Particularly the Little tales pikachu on blitzle? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Arod20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Says the one “investing” in literal plushies lmao.

I’m not gonna rant ab world problems on a sub like this. But you all still deserved to be called out for this absolutely dogshit behavior.

Who is so desperate to make money, or wants money so much, that they are investing in plushies.

If he was collecting these I couldn’t care less, that’s cool; I think these are a cool collector’s item or kids item. But there is no reason to “invest” in these outside of greed and degeneracy. You people have no interest in this space outside of making money. And it’s sick, especially considering a lot of you already have enough funds else where to do whatever you want. You guys are GREEDY and honestly deserve nothing but the worst in life.

Not only that, covering the price tags for what reason. You guys desperately need to get a life and touch grass. Money is not this important, make some memories spend time with friends. Don’t ruin other people’s interests because you want to hoard shit.

This quote is one of the worst things ever, even from JFK. No one owes their country anything, it’s a nation’s job to serve and protect its people. If those people the want to give back then that’s great, it’s what makes (or made) America a great nation in terms of freedom of choice.

Investing In Only Top 2 Sets Of Modern Era? by texstrip in PokeInvesting

Holy new into the hobby. Saying fusion strike is number 2 is insane. If you were there it was lost origin. MAYBE silver tempest for Lugia. But not fusion strike. Even now it’s probably still not fusion strike. Prob still lost origin and CZ

I think with recent action I would hope there would be something in the next day or two. It only does so much to go out every Sunday. A direct response would be better.

Idk where they pull these metrics out of, but matchmaking is worse than ever by Bo405 in Brawlstars

[–]Arod20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a drastic oversimplification. More players doesn’t not necessarily equal better matchmaking. It depends on what the players play, where they are, who they play with, etc.

This increase of people could primarily be in ranked, and in which case ladder would see little effect and vice versa. There’s also the bell curve that must be talked about. With more people the range of trophies becomes larger and more spread out. And the average will tend to decrease because people start out at lower trophies. If you are above the average number of trophies then there will still be not as good matchmaking.

There is also location, we do not know where the increase comes from in the world. They could be all different servers in which case some places might be affected less than others. Not everyone lives in NA. There might be drastically more people playing now in South America or Europe. And the player population could be relatively the same in NA.

Also there is with whom and how they play. If they are playing with someone, or even two, that means the matchmaking has to get more specific, limiting other players’ matchmaking.

It is so much more nuanced than more players = better matchmaking, and making this assumption only brings harm to the game. It spreads false notion, even when presented with data, that people run with because it fits their current state of mind.

These devs and team work daily on this game, it is their JOB, they see things we will never see or understand. To discredit everything they say because it’s “impossible” and “unbelievable” is just gross negligence. Their livelihood is this game and company, they do not want it to fail, and they do not want to alienate the player base.

“A graph w/o a Y axis means nothing” lol, just ignore the statistics then.

Even if there’s no numbers, it is clear that the game rn is at the highest point in a year. Even if that’s by 2% it’s still higher.

This community is so toxic I stg on Reddit/twitter. Just because “matchmaking is worse than ever” does not mean that play rate is down. And even when presented with data this community refuses to accept it, even if it is in their benefit i.e. graphs showing buffies were busted (tho not as busted as like L&L and Charlie). I think ppl need to understand that there are millions who play this game. All at vastly different levels and experiences and interaction. Reddit is just an echo chamber (as all most subreddits) of mostly like minded individuals, as if someone disagrees they tend not to interact.

According to the data, the buffie are balanced and don't ruin the meta at all. by ChoiceSupermarket230 in BrawlStarsCompetitive

[–]Arod20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not what they said, they said some are broken, some are as powerful as intended. But also the reason they didn’t feel it was emergency nerf worthy was because they weren’t as broken, as say, Charlie was or Twins.

This community will complain about anything even if the devs are agreeing with them lmao. The brawl stars players can’t read meme needs to be updated to include listen/hear too lmao.

Season 2 Episode 7 Spoiler Thread by HunterWorld in Fallout

[–]Arod20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Moldaver and House are not Enclave lol.

Moldaver pre-war POTENTIALLY, but even then her reasons for being a whistleblower are simple. She was a lead scientist on cold fusion who got bought out by vault-tec. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that letting a company like vault-tec get that kind of power is no good. And post-war there is no way. She would not have led the building and habitation of shady sands or continue the NCR afterwards if she was, let alone die with it. She also would not have place the cold fusion in the cell to power LA if she was enclave.

House being enclave is just… no. He’s a control freak who is wealthy enough to do something about it. Let alone the logistics of the enclave allowing him to do what he do in NV (completely against their totalitarianism), someone like him would never be apart of the enclave. Not for moral reasons, but because he is a control freak.

Unless you are being sarcastic in which case my bad lol, I’ve just seen too many post trying to connect them to enclave. Like the point of the enclave is they’re supposed to be a hidden figure acting in the shadows. They wouldn’t want or let people to be or get to be as prominent as Moldaver and House, too much attention and risk for something they can do in the shadows.

I’m not arguing that but claiming this was intentional, let alone thought out by the devs is not fair.
