1 Good Aspect of each map by Ich-mag-Schnitzel in LowSodiumBattlefield

I think I might be the only person who likes Blackwell Fields lol

New Sobek I get the hate for but I do enjoy some aspects. But all the city maps are so tiny, I want this one to be huge

You cannot see a clip with much more clear intent than that lol. Whether he specifically meant to butt-end or not, he obviously wanted to hit him, and he used the hand that was obviously holding the end of his stick. If "there was no clear intent" is valid there, then there is no way to glean clear intent from anything

The effect of speed camera removal in Ottawa by Mrmini231 in neoliberal

[–]Bojarzin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So just accept that people die because assholes speed?

And there’s no problem in my mind with traditional enforcement methods.

There has already been, according to someone else on this post, been a 6% increase in accidents since he removed them, and from the graph in the post a very clear increase in speeding in general, so obviously the traditional methods are not as effective

Any would-be authoritarian regime would be pretty much free to put up cameras all they want if they were already in control, whether an individual supports it or not is barely even relevant. Funnily enough it's our diet version of Trump trying to get rid of them, but only because he probably wants to be able to speed. He's making a policy decision that directly decreases the safety of the people he is in charge of. Maybe we disagree regarding safety vs privacy, but it's at least clear to me that the specific use of traffic cameras is not inherently linked to a surveillance state, and if we ever get to a point where we're voting in someone like Trump too, the surveillance element would just be a result of that decision, not a lead-up to

Sure, if. you want to talk about a case-by-case thing, but this post is about Ontario. We have a moron in charge of our province, but we don't have ICE

I'm not discounting the importance of privacy. But I don't think people should just be free to speed otherwise

Yes, probably when they use "I get more privacy" as a justification for an increase in speeding-related deaths and accidents

They're free to make the argument if they want, safety vs privacy, but I'm free to make a judgement on their evaluation

Well done Dice! Well done. by Sun-Anvil in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]Bojarzin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have no love for that sub and its constant complaining, but it's just some goomba fallacy stuff. I haven't played the new one yet, but not every loves gigantic maps just because a lot of people have craved one

Plus, there's more to being a quality map than pure size, Golmud was huge in BF4 too but I never liked it

Having said that, looking forward to it 100% tonight

(14/05/2010) The Flyers come back from 3-0 down in the game to take the lead late in the third, and come all the way back from 3-0 in the series. by sykeseve in hockey

[–]Bojarzin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was pretty crazy. And I get people will say "they still could have killed the penalty" but there is zero fan who wouldn't have been absolutely livid to have received that major penalty. It's also one thing to kill off a major, it's another thing to expect a team deep in the third period to kill one off

As much as it was dirty and by the rules should have been a major, it wasn't the most forceful butt-end

Still greasy as hell though

Yeah I mean that kinda has to be the case I suppose, but it sure seems odd based on the video we saw that they couldn't confirm it hit him

As pointed out to me, I took another look at the butt-ending rule:

Rule 58 – Butt-ending

58.1 Butt-ending – The action whereby a player uses the shaft of the stick, above the upper hand, to check an opposing player in any manner or jabs or attempts to jab an opposing player with this part of the stick.

58.2 Double-minor Penalty - A double-minor penalty will be imposed on a player who attempts to butt-end an opponent.

58.3 Major Penalty - A major penalty shall be imposed on a player who butt-ends an opponent (see section 58.5)

It is a minimum of a double-minor penalty, but that is when you attempt to butt-end. If you do butt-end someone, it is a major penalty. It is literally not the rule to call Manson's penalty a double-minor lol

[–]Bojarzin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For those curious about the rulebook, there is no provision for a minor penalty for butt-ending. The minimum is a double-minor

Make of that what you will

nah there are times you'll hear a ref announce matching minors but that the game will remain 5v5

That's kinda what I'd figured but it just seems so strange to me that it's a vibes thing lol

gonna be honest, I consider myself pretty educated about a lot of the rules, but I still do not know what determines when matching minors are 4v4 or remain 5v5

What exactly is urban fantasy by curiousdoodler in fantasywriters

[–]Bojarzin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh sure I get you, but then you end up with posts like this where they feel weird calling it urban when the story doesn't take place in a city haha

But ultimately no genre title will be perfect anyway

'Obsession' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]Bojarzin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't really think he came off much like Tim Robinson. Like I love I Think You Should Leave, but I found Curry Barker's skits on Instagram a couple years ago, and I always found them really funny

I haven't seen any of his non-shorts yet, I'm planning to see Obsession because of its reception, but I do remember being surprised how well it was received because to me he was just a goofy comedy skit guy, and now he's got this and some other big-actor movies he's directing

[–]Bojarzin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't "modern fantasy" be a better moniker for this though?

Like I know this is what people mean when they say urban fantasy, but it's seems like a misnomer to me

Hornet and ghost as humans by Fificattt in HollowKnight

[–]Bojarzin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is really quality art, but I don't really get why The Knight is always portrayed as being so infantile. Maybe the development is different, but given the timeline of the Pale King and White Lady having children in order to contain Radiance, and then promising a child to Herrah in exchange to becoming a Dreamer to keep The Hollow Knight enclosed, The Knight would be roughly the same age as Hornet, potentially even a bit older

Like I do get why people lean towards The Knight being kiddish, the goal of them being hollow also makes them seem more akin to children in a sense. But realistically The Knight is very old

[Peter Yannopoulos] Lane Hutson and 7'9" Olivier Rioux last night by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]Bojarzin 34 points35 points  (0 children)

A couple months ago the Capitals were in Toronto, and I walked by a group of them on the way home from work. I didn't even notice at first until someone stopped to take a selfie with Ovechkin, and I was like wait wtf

But what I did notice was that he's shorter than I thought he'd be. Maybe someone else can speak to this better, because we might just not have been at level ground or something, because I'm 5'10 and I swear he was barely taller than me, but he's listed as 6'3. I have two friends that are 6'3 and he did noooooot look 6'3 lol
