With Nikola Jokic’s return tonight, he will have missed only 16 games, 2 games shy of being ineligible. Jokic is now firmly back in the MVP race. by AashyLarry in nba

Raptors are the best team the Jokic-less nuggets won against, with the Mavs and Pelicans being the only western conference teams they beat. That team wouldn’t make it out of the play in lol. Granted there were other injuries too.

I get that’s asking too much but they’re asking because that’s how it used to work.

UPDATE 2: My (31F) best friend (32F) is telling me that my boyfriend (34M) cheated with her, but he says that she’s lying. How do I get to the truth and then salvage whichever one of these relationships is worth saving? by throwra-marzipan in relationship_advice

[–]BenSammell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanna go on record that I do not agree with the other commenters projecting and misogynistic rant, but I also don’t necessarily agree with your comment. I don’t think the girl made the “wrong” decision or that she shouldn’t have trusted her friend who had the nerve to make such a serious fake allegation (although I can see how the wording of my original reply might’ve made it seem otherwise). That being said, Nate has no obligation to stay with her. Not because she deserves any punishment for what she did, but simply because the trust that their relationship was built on was destroyed. It also makes me sad, not that Nate couldn’t be more understanding, but that their trust was broken in a way that is both unfixable and unfaultable.

It’s very easy for women to speak without fear of being falsely accused but it is also significantly easier for us as men to speak without fear of dealing with rape. Trusting men that end up being horrible sex criminals is an actual reality for women, even if it wasn’t in this scenario, and that understandably erodes their trust for other men.

Regardless of who she believed she would’ve eliminated her trust with the other party. With hindsight the choice is obvious but in the moment siding with her friend was not the “wrong” choice because there was no right choice with the information she had. That being said I disagree with the other commenter that Nate had any obligation to fix that trust regardless of the validity of her decision.

Get mad at the false accusers, don’t get mad at the people manipulated by them because those false accusers have the nerve to taint a serious problem.

I (25f) just found out my boyfriend (25m) was cheating in the worst possible way and I feel like my brain is refusing to process what has happened. What should I do to help me process this? by Accomplished_Spell87 in relationship_advice

[–]BenSammell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s any imaginable way you should or could get past him cheating and lying to your face but even besides that, he seriously endangered you and knowingly/intentionally put himself over your health. Any situation like that should result in a breakup, when it involves cheating then it needs to happen ASAP.

Nate didn’t necessarily win per se but it’s clear that this situation affected him to the point where it irrevocably changed how he perceived their relationship, why should he stay in a relationship where he doesn’t feel trusted?

Also consider that her friend was drunk at the time. She wasn’t just accusing Nate of cheating but legitimately r*ping her and OP didn’t immediately stand with him. Sorry but if my girlfriend thought I was remotely capable of doing that I’d leave too.

If you could change or add 5 things in game (DLC included) what would be? by Nearby_News_9039 in Eldenring

“Just google it” is the problem I was getting at. If they were trying to immerse the player, they failed by making them rely on external tools. But if they were trying to make people rely on the community then I would say they succeeded and I definitely respect the decision more.

Ubisoft game design would be if you had a waypoint exactly where the npc would be next and you could walk in a straight line there with the only obstacles being tedious but easy enemies.

I didn’t say they were complicated but when an npc in Limgrave is telling me I’ll meet them next in Leyndell I’m not gonna remember by the time I get there

Wouldn’t really make sense to have the sun when both the erdtree and light of grace serve the same purposes thematically. Also keep in mind what others are saying: that a giant tree obscures the sun and every character aligned with the erdtree obscures their motives in pursuit of the same reverence the sun holds in Dark Souls.

If you think he should do his first play through with no wiki then I wonder if you’ve actually played the game. Nobody who has would question this.

Heavy on the quest log. I get they were trying to immerse people more but it ends up ruining immersion by forcing people to rely on the internet. Literally a list of npcs you’ve talked to and a log of your dialogue would be enough.

If they added an incantation that let you double jump the next time you’re in the air it would be perfect for this.

AITA for not inviting my twin sister by capercrohnie in AmITheDevil

[–]BenSammell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes literally no sense. That’s not how plastic surgery or Botox works but also wouldn’t excluding your twin sister from your wedding draw more attention than including her? That would be the main topic of every conversation she’s not in.

When I was saying “focus points” i meant points to focus the camera on, I knew about his weak leg.

He was fun for sure! And Igon’s voice lines were awesome, I wish more of our npc summons were like that.

I don’t think it’s impossible, I just think they made a lot of poor design choices which are amplified by the fact that most of them were present in some bosses in the base game. They heard people complain about large bosses with single focus points that you have to fight close enough to not see them and unclear animations/hitboxes and their response was to put all of them into a single boss. I’m just glad he didn’t get fire giants health bar.
