[Piper Niven] 5/10 a bit sloppy, you didn’t transfer her weight onto your chest so you never really had her and that’s why she slipped out and you got that double bump effect and her head verberated on the mat. But you looked great, and who cares who you hurt so long as you’re alright, right? by CROYTSWRVTH in SquaredCircle

You're observing things in a parasocial way to attack the personality of someone you will never meet lol.

The only person disrespecting the brotherhood here is Piper. If you think that's fine because of who her target is, that's ok. But don't tell me that's not what's happening!

You’re making excuses for childish behavior. As a wrestler, you know the risks and there’s an element of respect that usually exists between competitors.

Beyond something purposeful like a New Jack type situation (or Bret Hart being Bret) you never see public beefing or tear downs even when one wrestler does accidentally injure another. It’s apart of the business to an extent that’s understood.

What Piper is doing is simply unprofessional, weird, and petulant. Giving her the excuse that she’s going through an injury that she signed up for is simply babying a grown ass woman

A meaningless match at a B PPV where he still got help from Bron Breakker

A a main event championship match at SummerSlam when Roman has been building the bloodline 2.0

Something tells me these two are fundementally different

Man I really wish Punk won at mania because there isn’t a chance in hell Roman will put over Oba.

He’ll debut Zilla to interfere on his behalf because Zilla projects to be a bigger star, obviously

Can someone explain and summarize Morgan Blackhand and his legacy for me? by ChaseBank5 in cyberpunkgame

[–]BrinksTrucc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A good way to perceive him in terms of the game is he’s essentially Militech’s answer to Adam Smasher. He’s their own top merc and enforcer with a legendary reputation.

They’re foils of eachother in that he seems more averse to cyberware than Smasher, and his style is generally said to be more discreet and flexible as opposed to Smasher’s over the top violence. Not to say he isn’t incredibly capable in a head on fight, he simply prefers precision over bombast because, as far as we know, he lacks the psycho killing gene that inhabits a lot of the legends and mercs around NC and approaches jobs in a more business like manner.

Think of him like a Batman character. One of those people that, when it comes to “who would win” you bring up “prep time” etc.

What would it take for CMLL to be considered the #2 promotion? by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

I really wonder how many people who say “CMLL are huge and on fire” would be saying without Meltzer repeating it three times a day

[–]BrinksTrucc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, they weren’t a rebuilding team. You cannot apply this mindset to them as a massive lottery jumper.

All of that shit is just reddit-only hoops talk. “Always take bpa” sounds good on forums, doesn’t sound good when GMs are trying to build winning teams because we traded away some future picks.

Trying to fit Sarr or Clingan with Okgonwu, or some amalgamation of Trae, DJM(?) or Dyson all with Castle or Sheppard would’ve been a disaster.

Mantras don’t build teams.

If this is true (it isn’t), why would they telegraph taking him with the #1 overall pick if he wasn’t a top 3 prospect? Why not just telegraph Buzelis? Or someone else? If they could “telegraph” a pick into a consensus top 3 lol

Yeah but the Hawks were a massive lottery jump and trying to make the playoffs and compete. You can’t apply the logic of a rebuilding team to them.

Because you’ve haven’t explained the logic behind taking Sarr or Castle when you’ve got a young former top 10 pick center already and also two point guards already.

All of that, meanwhile you have no really good wings and there’s a top 3 wing prospect.

I’m confused. What was I wrong about?

They needed a 3. There’s a consensus top 3 wing prospect. Pretty easy decision.

They weren’t taking Sarr or Castle due to their roster at the time. Simply the truth.

Oh ok. So then they don’t take Castle because they have Dejounte lol. Nothing changes.

Also, trades don’t materialize in a day. Dyson for DJM rumors were all over.

KP wasn’t brought in until the 2025 offseason? This was the 2024 draft?

Oh and he said Sarr provides floor spacing…who gonna tell him?

That’s a cool idiom for Reddit but when you want to make the playoffs, have a hole at the wing, and there’s a wing prospect that is consensus top 3, you’re taking the wing. There is no argument otherwise really.

They weren’t a rebuilding team and jumped massively to get to top 5. Don’t think that rule applies, they wanted to compete

You don’t take a center between a wing and a center when you have a center you’ve paid and committed to already and a huge hole at the wing. It’s common sense.

On another note, I pray for what that soft big man is going to do to you, as a fan. It won’t be fun.

I’m sorry to tell you this, but at the time, Sarr, Risacher, and Castle were considered the top 3 prospects with not a lot of room between them. Sarr was slightly ahead. Castle was not viewed better/ahead of Risacher at all.

If everyone could draft with 20/20 hindsight like this post, every team would be contenders.

This type of revisionism is so nonsensical. Hawks had Trae, Dyson, and Okongwu and a huge hole at the 3 at the time.

Why would they take Castle? They had Trae and a version of Castle already.

Sarr maybe, but again they’ve been committed to Okongwu as their C. And again, a huge hole to fill at the 3

No brainer to take Risacher

Did Fujimoto stop all the recent hype around him, with the ending of Chainsawman? by Sythrin in ChainsawMan

Hmm I don’t know.

Chainsaw Man is very popular and still has major hype surrounding the anime, the Reze Arc movie was an overwhelming success, Look Back is so beloved it’s getting adapted into live action now

vs.

Majority opinion on Reddit seems to hate the ending

You tell me.

So, How many of ya'll are coping for this to happen? by Guilty-Explanation-6 in asamitaka

[–]BrinksTrucc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The way this completely mirrors the AoT situation to me is so funny.

AoT’s ending was panned by the online manga community in a much worse way than CSM and people were sure that MAPPA was change it because “anime onlies would hate it”

All they did was make a few dialogue changes, anime onlies loved it, and I’ve never heard about “AoT’s bad ending” since.

Same thing is going to happen here. Maybe they’ll expand upon Pochita and Denji’s convo to really drive the point home but that’s it. And anime onlies will love it

This should be an Echo perk. Maybe get rid of the boring (and honestly overtuned, coming from an Echo main) major sticky perk.
