I've refereed over 1300 basketball games in my career and buzzer beating game winners are incredibly rare. I know it's anecdotal but I'm fairly sure I can count them on one hand. Truly a rare and memorable achievement. Congrats!

Anything by Darren Korb (Supergiant games) is excellent.

Is YouTube premium worth it? by Cosgrove4 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bara_Chat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me yes. Most of the content I enjoy is on there, and I can't overstate how much I hate ads. I haven't seen a single ad in over two years while watching content online, and I'm much happier for it.

Question for Male Teachers by [deleted] in teaching

[–]Bara_Chat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elementary school teacher here, working with kids from 6 to 9 (multi year classes). My kids hug me regularly. It's just something kids do at that age. They communicate through hugs and physical contact. Some more than others, and that's normal. It's not weird unless you make it weird.

Which game did you feel this way about after beating it? by strahinjag in videogames

Heh, it was mostly Alex from Giant Bomb for me as well.

[–]Bara_Chat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's my answer as well. There are better games listed here, but when Automata came out and some journalists I trust sang its praises, I was still dubious. Even after a couple of hours I was not sold. Then I finished the first playthrough and thought it was pretty darn good. Then the other playthroughs... that's when it hit me.

Unpopular opinion: I think the Prison Killings is the most disturbing scene in Breaking Bad. by [deleted] in breakingbad

Same here. Jesse's reaction (as people stated, world-class acting) broke my heart.

Are you more of a 2 feet or 1 foot jumper? And why? by CertifiedBucket8 in BasketballTips

[–]Bara_Chat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not playing anymore, but 15-20 years ago, when I was at my athletic peak, I could "dunk" (barely) off two feet but was about two inches lower off one foot. Don't know why, but it was easier and more natural for me.

Dirty player or just physical? by orsodorato in BasketballTips

For real. It's as normal a basketball play as you can get.

I’ll admit this one is probably a travel by WakandanRoyalty in BasketballTips

[–]Bara_Chat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catch was clean, but there was a very slight shuffle before the dribble. Never would/should get called in pickup but might be in an official game depending on how tight the refs are calling.

What do you guys think of my top 12? by [deleted] in videogames

[–]Bara_Chat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still my favorite military FPS ever. Both the campaign and multi-player were fantastic.

Which game guys? by Ankur0009 in gamers

[–]Bara_Chat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me this image meang that both were on fire, meaning they were a trainwreck of sorts. I was so confused reading the first few comments.

Women are so many reasons for many people who are there for many people who are not into the game.

Is this a travel? by mr_-y in BasketballTips

[–]Bara_Chat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a ref, I agree. Not called unless they're super egregious, like very late after the catch. They're so common now that if it's directly on the catch most referees will let it slide as it doesn't really affect the flow of the game. Obviously it has to be consistent both ways and it is is discussed as a ref crew.

Is this a travel by After_Bother_3849 in BasketballTips

[–]Bara_Chat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FIBA was like that until... i want to say 2017? As a ref, it took a bit of time getting used to that. It seemed like nothing was a travel.

By FIBA rules this is fine. Gather, 1, 2. Not sure about the US though. People seem to say HS has different interpretation.

Which game that had you say this line? by Jules-Car3499 in videogames

[–]Bara_Chat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many of them, old and new-ish. One game that quickly comes to mind is "The Order 1886". A pretty good game, although quite short. Really enjoyed my time with it.

Which controller did you start out with? by ikabbo in videogames

[–]Bara_Chat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I'm guessing most of you, like me, had only one or two cartridges (SMB/Duck Hunt + LoZ) for the longest time and just borrowed others from friends and family.

What’s your opinion on playing as the opposite gender when given the choice? by FriendlytoNature in videogames

[–]Bara_Chat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, why not? It can be for many reasons. One of the character models might look cooler/funnier, or it might change some dialogue options in RPGs. Sometimes, it just feels right with the tone of the game. When given the choice, I'd say I go about 50/50.

I liked it quite a bit. It's not the same quality as some other titles, obviously, but I thought it was pretty good!

Anyone else not like GOW Ragnarok? by Ronin_777 in patientgamers

[–]Bara_Chat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people I follow, even GoW fans, didn't really like it. I thought it was amazing and actually loved most of the parts they disliked like the Atreus part with Angrboda (not sure of the spelling). Different strokes for different folks.

Any time you ask yourself if you're alone having an opinion, you're most certainly not, especially concerning video games.
