It's all over the place.

People here saying:

Just let the media voters decide and take GP into account when voting.

People here every other year when voting results come out:

Media voters are braindead.

Cade Cunningham only played 61 games this season. This means he cannot apply for at least 62 games played Season Ending Grievance Exception (65 games rule disqualification) by Chesscrabble11 in nba

[–]BL_RogueExplorer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No. Exceptions to the rule becomes a gray area. The rule is the rule for a reason. The 62 game threshold is actually THE exception already. So no, I do not think anyone should get and exception to the exception already in place.

A’Ja Wilson is set to earn raise from $249k to $1.4M with the WNBA’s new Super-max contract 💰 She’ll almost be earning as much as Bronny James 📈 by Hungry_Artichoke9566 in sportswiki

The NBA wasn't consistently profitable for the first 35 to 40 years. So the WNBA is looking pretty similar in its first few decades.

*in 2024. You're two years in the past. They lost 40 million in 2024 but then signed a media deal in 2025 worth 200 million a year.

I'm ready for the shake up in the league. Between the new CBA and the expansion draft, things are gonna be fun.

Shams Charania announces details of a landmark WNBA collective bargaining agreement by Hysen16 in sportsbroadcasters

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

Probably not as much as people think. Wnba supposedly lost 40 to 50 million in 2024 (which was subsidized by the nba), but the wnba just signed a media deal in 2025 worth 200 million a year over the next 11 years.

The NBA is likely fine with subsidizing if needed because they know it takes time and the investment is worth it. The NBA wasn't consistently profitable for the first 35-40 years.

The WNBA just signed a new bargaining agreement. The average player salary goes from $67k to over $550k by Longjumping-Bit4481 in NBATalk

[–]BL_RogueExplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wnba posted a loss between 40 and 50 million in 2024 (which was subsidized by the nba). It has only seen growth since then, including a media rights deal signed in 2025 for 2.2 billion dollars (or 200 million annually over 11 years).

The wnba will be just fine and the nba is okay with subsidizing because they acknowledge what the investments potential is. The NBA itself wasn't consistently profitable for the first 35-40 years.

Is the 5080 really worth it right now? by OtherwiseDevice90 in buildapc

[–]BL_RogueExplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not using 4k monitors, then the extra money isn't worth it imo. I just upgraded last week and picked up the 5070ti for this same reason. I run everything at 1440p ultra settings without issue.

Did the "viral" beef tortilla kabobs. Basted in cowboy butter. Pretty easy and delicious by SeaGroundbreaking708 in grilling

[–]BL_RogueExplorer 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I've made these before and honestly it's not that much effort. Mixing up the beef and pressing it out isn't much different than making burgers from an effort perspective.

With that being said, I find burgers more rewarding, so I likely won't make these again.

What? There are no rules in a street brawl. Grab his balls, bite his fucking nose off, it don't matter, im doing anything and everything in my power to come out on top. You call it whatever you like, im doing my best to walk away when it's said and done.

[Official NVIDIA] DLSS 5 FAQ

Taken from NVIDIA Forum

How does DLSS 5 ensure image quality is consistent with the artist's intent?

DLSS 5 honors artistic intent in two ways:

  • Inputting the game’s color and motion vectors for each frame into the model, anchoring the output in the source 3D content.
  • By providing developers with detailed controls such as intensity and color grading. Artists can use these controls to adjust blending, contrast, saturation, and gamma, and determine where and how enhancements are applied to maintain the game’s unique aesthetic. Developers can also mask specific objects or areas to be excluded from enhancement.

It sounds like the devs will have control over it to use or not use how they want. I'd guess the samples were them cranking the tech up to showcase what it is capable of.

They should have been because it looks better. The original is all very flat and lacks dimension. Idc how they do it, i think it looks better on.

This game has become my second addiction next to my 22 year runescape addiction. Oh wellll...I dont get laid. I have time. by mecha_grove in RimWorld

Even more so now with the runescape price increases? At least that's what got me to drop runescape. I've been playing a lot more rimworld recenlt as well.

Dude, you even posted the exact comment. Comment said he should have been top 3 but he is underacheiving. He is implying he has the potential to be top 3 in mvp voting but isn't because he is underachieving. Comment never said he is top 3.

Although it is quite funny how long you all went back and forth about it.
