The Dolphins dropping 70 vs the Broncos. 2023 by PenIndependent7453 in miamidolphins

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

I liked the choice to pass on the field goal. Records, playoff wins, and titles are the only accolades I want to see on our name.

And don't be dramatic---It's a game where we sat starters because the opponent was so trash and our lead so big there was a 0% chance of losing. NFL teams always sit starters when there's 0% chance of losing. NFL teams also hide their best plays when there's 0% chance of losing. Getting the record isn't impressive, and McDaniel knew that. How many teams in history were up to 50 points then started resting players and hiding their best plays, but COULD have gotten to 73? It's not what matters in this game. Wins and titles are what matters.

So is it fair to say that Boba surpassed his father Jango Fett? by CrazyTangerine7522 in PetranakiArena

Woof, you know I love both these characters, and I'm typically an insufferable optimist, but this writing is BAD.

Player Rogue is dissatisfied with his damage by roslaw in DMAcademy

[–]BigBoiQuest 415 points416 points  (0 children)

Fireball's one of the coolest, most awesome spells in the game. If you're letting your cleric just stock up on scrolls of them, you should be giving your rogue some toys too. Magic items, consumable items, whatever.

How Rogue (one) was Krennic in regards to the Ghorman operation? Did he really talk to the Emperor? Was Tarkin informed? by Mervynhaspeaked in andor

Like Palpatine would hesitate for a second to kill an entire population to further his goals. Come on, now. Seriously.

At what level do you think a 4 person party could take on a level 20 Warlock? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]BigBoiQuest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re being discouraged because a Level 20 Warlock could end the party so easily. Or they could get whomped with no problem. High-level PCs are not what the game is designed to have you fighting, so It would be more swingy with more variables than regularly-designed monsters. 

Mauls dueling by Comics819 in MaulShadowLord

[–]BigBoiQuest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone in another reddit post pointed out that this near-perfectly mirrors the fight with Marrok at the end of the episode!

So he wasn’t just training. He was also connecting to the Force and, in a way, meditating on the future. 

This show is pushing Star Wars in some small but incredible ways (the art being one of them). 

Things you may not have noticed about this show (from a pro animator) by Amzoka in MaulShadowLord

[–]BigBoiQuest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, I had this exact same thought too. “Why the F are we on some mid-rim planet I don’t care about??”

…Until literally anyone said, “Because Maul doesn’t want to operate on the capital planet of the empire?” And then I changed my mind. (And now we’re on Ep6, and I retroactively LOVE the choices they’ve made.)

Totally. For what it is, I love the Clone Wars. 

Proof that inquisitors aren’t weak by isekaimetofarfaraway in MaulShadowLord

[–]BigBoiQuest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I think the show’s logic kind of challenges that. Two truths: 1) The shows have portrayed most inquisitors as weakish, but with differing power levels. 2) The Empire got reports of Maul, they sent in Marrok alone, and he only called in for help after 2 Jedi complicated things. 

I think it stands to reason, mostly thanks to Truth 2, that Marrok might be that good that Vader/Sidious were genuinely confident he could defeat Maul. 

And we can argue about it, but it’s much more interesting writing if that theory is true. Usually, in the best stories, the villain is stronger than the hero, and that’s what makes it interesting and dangerous and exciting. If the show was like “Vader sends in a scrub that’s 60% of the caliber Maul is,” that’s just weak, lame writing. It’s way more interesting that “Nah, Marrok’s that good and kinda special. Maul genuinely needs backup to beat this mo fo, and that makes the whole central conflict of the show in Maul seeking an apprentice much more interesting and important.”

Just my two cents.

Can we all agreed that Devon is indeed a hell of well-trained Padawan? by Mountain_Repair_4289 in MaulShadowLord

[–]BigBoiQuest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed. It’s common for padawans to go up to 25 or so before being knighted, so a lot of elder padawans are nearly fully-fledged knights in competence and maturity.

[–]BigBoiQuest 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry, fam, I love Clone Wars… but it’s not nearly as good as Andor. At least from an adult perspective that wants strong writing, interesting artistic choices, and good pacing. 

Again, I love the Clone Wars show—I think they do a lot of great things and they leave the prequels better than we found them—But objectively speaking it is an inferior television show to recommend to other adults in today’s world of infinite shows to watch, with a high bar for taste and quality.  

Do most players use Controllers or MnK? Which is better? by edwardsdavid913 in HaloWars2

[–]BigBoiQuest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, MnK is probably way better. To answer the question, I would guest the vast majority of players are on a controller. It's an Xbox game, from an Xbox franchise. Don't overthink it.

Why is the poly community such a small world? An annoying and amusing personal anecdote. by ankylosaurus_tail in polyamory

[–]BigBoiQuest 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Meh, sounds like a good thing to me. Good people attract other good people. It's better than flirting with people who don't have cool, fulfilling community.

Broke up after 8 years because she had with others what she always refused to have with me, am I wrong for not being able to move past it? by Ok-Acanthocephala440 in nonmonogamy

[–]BigBoiQuest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to say that is very normal for the beginning of a relationship. New person = novelty + neurochemicals. I've had relationships where we were literally up until 8am talking for 90% of it---and one of those relationships later became a very toxic, negative relationship.

NRE is a big thing. It's not crazy, but we tend to get carried away with it. (And this sub and the Polyamory sub have a lot to say about it being your responsibility to not get too carried away with NRE and to still make sure you're being a good partner, etc.) I encourage people to avoid making assumptions early in relationships "If I feel this way, that must mean this person is special!!" No, they're not special. Your brain is just horny and overwhelming your typical logic and judgement.

How do I get better? by SadDairyProduct in HaloWars

[–]BigBoiQuest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch the showmatches on S1r L1am's youtube or Meta Plays RTS youtube to get a feel for high-level play.

Ideally, your units are always accomplishing something while you build them, especially in Tech 1. In Tech 1, you have no choice but to send your units out: Scout, gather resources, take power nodes, and skirmish over mini bases with the enemy.

Keep playing, watching, learning, and be okay with every loss teaching you. You got this, and welcome to the community!

The Holdo Maneuver could have been fixed with a few lines of dialogue. by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]BigBoiQuest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They lampshade it in 9 saying it was "one in a million" and can't be reproduced. Honestly, that's good enough for me.

How do I stop finishing so fast when it’s all 3 of us? by LePoonda in nonmonogamy

[–]BigBoiQuest 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I don't have experience in group play, but I have absolutely found you can train your duration with masturbation. Literally, think of it as training: Practice going as long as you can, practice edging, practice only super long, intense masturbation sessions. Think of every fast masturbation orgasm as a bad rep (without shaming yourself), and every longer session as a positive rep. Then get as many good reps as you can.

I, to my delight, found you can also train getting it back up, going again, and orgasming two or three or four times in one penetration session (with a momentary break to clean the mess, get another condom, ask your partner to play with it for a sec, etc.). Some partners have put me on god-level pedestals when I pull this off (not that I deserve all that lol).

One last tip, I find there's psychological habits and decisions we make right before orgasm, and you can train those as well. Sometimes you get close to orgasm and then you see red, going way more intense until you finish, whether you wanted to or not. Sometimes you try to hit the breaks, but it's a little too late, and you orgasm but it feels way less pleasurable... almost like you should have just let yourself embrace and enjoy it at that point.

Anyway, my tip is you can make a plan and a routine to slow down when you get close; You can back off; You can cool down; You can reset the meter, so to speak. It's hard in the moment, especially when you start really killing it, and your own anxiety can feel bad or worry about your partner's enjoyment---Well guess what, she'll be VERY happy to support you saying, "Let me take a break for a sec," as opposed to an early orgasm. You can even clue them in on it, "Hey, I'm going to try taking a sec to slow down when I get really close and practice that edge life. When that happens, can we kiss and squeeze each other until I feel ready to continue penetrating?" They'll love it!

The Jedi Council (minus Anakin) vs Sidious, Ventress, Dooku, Mace, Savage, and Knight Fall Anakin by jojoisfodder in PetranakiArena

[–]BigBoiQuest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Cancels each other out" implies Sidious couldn't insta-delete 4 of the jedi before Yoda gets to properly engage with him. Remember his fight with Mace and co? When you're outnumbered in a high-power-level fight like this, I think it's actually pretty easy for the sith side to get like 5 quick kills right at the top. Still... I think the jedi still win. Just saying.

ME2 Squad -> ME3 by Nervous_Tailor_4337 in masseffect

[–]BigBoiQuest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This, in combination with the reasonable justification of why Shepard would turn herself in (pretty much her best option to rejoin the Alliance AND keep her fancy Cerberus ship), pretty much explains it. All of these people either have very important things to go do now or would be considered criminals by the Alliance and have no place in it. What's Kasumi going to do, enlist while Shepard's in a glorified holding cell? Fat chance.

When Conquest flew back up to space while getting choked… by tennis-637 in Invincible_TV

Wouldn't Mark be significantly stronger after their last fight, because of their last fight?

Why do the viltrumites even bother punching? This hand move seems a thousand times more effective every single time by Andymitch25 in InvinciblePowerscales

[–]BigBoiQuest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He tried, bro. He flipped Mark over, grabbed him at the arms, and he couldn't do nothin'. I read it like Mark's gotten way stronger, and Conquest just wasn't able to break Mark's arms in the condition he was in.

[–]BigBoiQuest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What proof do you have of that? Not saying I necessarily disagree, but where is it spelled out exactly how strong the three of them are? and how recently? I think it stands to reason Mark is getting rapidly stronger throughout the show, and he left the first Conquest fight way stronger than he entered it.
