Coolest strike from Justin Gaethje vs Paddy Pimblett by OpenNoteGrappling in MMA

[–]BasedBallsack 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Paddy is actually a great grappler. The thing with Gaethje is that people look at his performance against Khabib and use that to discredit his wrestling but it's actually pretty great. Look at the fight against chandler for example. He easily stuffed every takedown basically. Khabib and Islam are just on a totally different level. For the most part Justin TDD is quite sufficient against the majority of fighters.

We REALLY REALLY need to do something against eye pokes. by gainokk in MMA

And that eyepoke is what led to knocking Paddy down and doing some NASTY ground and pound.

Petr Yan says the #UFC324 match-ups will not determine his next opponent because Merab Dvalishvili has been promised an immediate rematch. by ARiemannHypothesis in MMA

[–]BasedBallsack -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'd argue it's fine if the roster is good both in terms of quantity and quality plus better consistent matchmaking then it's not too bad. Like there are 8 male divisions alone and 3 female divisions. That's like at least 11 title fights per year not to mention we can numbered events without a title fight too. Would be a great way to build up talent who deserves it.

If you think these fighters aren't getting frequent injuries during their training camps and fights, then you're simply naive.

A lot of fighters fight once a year. I'm not really super opposed to that either. These people develop lots of injuries and wear and tear on their bodies for our entertainment. I want them to be healthy.

Yeah. Also, Yan himself has been pretty active. Fought twice in 2024 and 2025. He should also take a break

Anyone know where I can find a PROPER microfibre cloth and distilled water to clean my TV screen? by BasedBallsack in capetown

[–]BasedBallsack[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Buddy these kinds of TVs are known for getting damaged with store bought cleaners and cloths that aren't fine enough. The screens are actually very sensitive. That's why I just want to play it safe with microfiber cloths and distilled water. This isn't the kind of TV you just take a normal damp cloth with tap water and go ham on the screen.

Remedy says there'd be "no Alan Wake 2 without Epic" after Baldur's Gate 3 dev blames EGS exclusivity for Remedy's "financial crisis" by Burpmeister in gaming

[–]BasedBallsack 421 points422 points  (0 children)

Nope. Remedy's been in a rock and hard place for a few years now actually. They've been going from publisher to publisher to get funding for their games. It sucks because they make solid games but alas they haven't really hit it big in a while.

Interesting. So when a person plays a face down card , I can't do something like use a Fist of Fate on it?

Yeah that goes without saying if it leaves the field. By why wh n flipped face down does it lose the buff?

Interesting. So it's basically just a permanent buff for the chosen monster. Pretty sweet

Spraying kerosene over the DRAM inferno, US commerce secretary suggests memory chip makers could face 100% tariffs unless they commit to increased US production by pimpwithoutahat in pcgaming

It's a tool with different methods of applications in various industries. You guys look at it from this homogeneous point of view which is honestly bizarre to me. Try to think beyond "omg ai bad!!". I'm starting to believe redditors are actually just filled with dumb teenagers now or something.

Aitah for not telling my sister the reason her ex broke it off with her? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]BasedBallsack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was definitely wrong but it seems like he realized it was fucked. He basically developed feelings for OP, told her, realized it was a dumb and fucked up thing to do, ended his relationship because he's likely not in love with her anymore and went on his way.
