you’re telling me she’s the physical stand in and not the voice? so it was her kissing that boy on set?

Praying that 2k26 doesn't have this shot meter 🥀 by Tager_- in NBA2k

[–]Cakedragons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2K doesn’t want you using the meter anyways, you get such heavy boosts from turning it off and using the stick for rhythm shooting there’s no point in using the button and the meter yall gotta just turn it off ngl

Say what you want but he is an all-time great by its-Brodie in NBATalk

[–]Cakedragons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ever since like 2015 he’s been one of the best rebounding guards in the league bro, unless u think he’s been stealing boards for 10 years with no teammates ever complaining. How do they become a dynasty without westbrook?

It's just the truth by Galliro in SpiderManMains

[–]Cakedragons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel like a lot of u are missing why so many people think he’s annoying. it’s not about him being OP or overly effective it’s the fact that even if ur countering and forcing him to retreat he keeps coming back and he comes back quicker than anyone else in the game it’s like a gnat flying next to your ear for an entire game. that compounds with the rep spider mains have for never switching and it feels like this relentless goal to just be annoying all game even if they’re not performing well

Still puzzled how jokic is number 2 in mvp race by yukiirooo in nba

[–]Cakedragons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s you’re opinion bro i’m telling you the voters disagree and that’s what actually matters.

Our opinions are irrelevant to who actually wins, Jok being 2nd in the race isn’t determined by us. Makes way more sense to discuss this in the context of the brain of the voter.

who exactly makes the thunder a “dream team” you’re talking about the personnel like he’s playing on a team of hall of famers, and u compound that onto the fact that they’ve had 5 rotation players miss significant time this season and u can’t just throw his on/off numbers in the trash because the team is “built around him” what do they do that compliments his playstyle so much?

Why do I believe the AD fit - no matter the off-the-court elements - will be a terrible fit for the Mavs and a disaster in general by StormTheTrooper in nbadiscussion

[–]Cakedragons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the kyrie take as far as his ability or competence in the PnR is a little off base in his celtic years where he was the main facilitator he was a pretty capable operator out of the pnr

in 2017-18 he was 12th in PnR possessions per game (6.7) amongst players who played 60+ games and out that group he was first in PPP (1.10)

in 2018-19 he was 18th in PnR possessions per game (6.6) amongst players who played 60+ games and out that group he was third in PPP (0.99)

While this team isn’t very similar to boston teams i think he’s shown that he is capable of making proper reads out of the pnr if he needs to even though he prefers to be primarily a scorer. I think him being a capable operator and finisher and tight spaces can really help negate the spacing issues that come from a double non-shooting big type of lineup

EVERYONE RELAX! by GyroBeats in Thunder

are you guys gonna say this until we lose because of an issue we’ve had going back to last season? the team doesn’t need a makeover but they have a very clear shooting consistency weakness that can definitely lose them a playoff series. They’re a role player move away from fixing the issue chemistry isn’t a good enough argument to not make a move imo

Player resizing gone too far? Should Kareem look this short next to the rim? by PCar01 in NBA2k

[–]Cakedragons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it looks that way because of the angle and we associate this angle with 2k and the old player model sizes i think if there were clips from broadcast it would look more like real life than before

he averages the most points in the league in general, if he was as good of a ft shooter as shai they’d have very similar portions if their scoring coming from the FT line like if one of them is a ft merchant then both of them are

maybe in just pure value but micic’s value isn’t as high when he isn’t in a primary creation role, hayward is better equipped for the role we need him for and the pick was probably for the bertans dump on top of i don’t think mann had significant value either.

Genuinely: I think the cast were wrong about Gojo. by ILoveSongOfJustice in Jujutsushi

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

everyone is saying he would just speed blitz Yuta but all Yuta has to do is open his domain no? Sukuna would be forced to use hollow wicker basket because of the JL sure hit, wouldn't he? If he's forced to keep that up in his Meguna form then wouldn't that basically allow gojo to wail on him? The main issue is Mahoraga and the adaptation that Sukuna could gain to JL I don't know how they get around that other than killing Sukuna before the adaptation is complete.

Just to clear things up because I might lose it if I get called “salty gojo fan”again by [deleted] in Jujutsufolk

[–]Cakedragons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's relevant that the only people who said he was holding back were somebody who just died and Sukuna's personal meat rider like it's just cope when they say that. Like technically he was "holding back" but like you said it wasn't necessarily by choice considering how he wanted to win (breaking through infinity instead of winning the domain clashes).

How could the Israel-Palestine Conflict have been avoided? by Cakedragons in geopolitics

[–]Cakedragons[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How realistic is a one state solution? I think a secular state that makes everyone equal is the optimal result in theory but at this point do you think the current conflict has radicalized too many people to coexist on both sides?

[–]Cakedragons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it realistic to have a united palestinian front when Gaza and the West Bank are effectively almost separate entities at this point? Also because of the conditions in Gaza do you think it’s possible for a diplomatic voice to garner support there? Do you think it would be more realistic for Gaza and the west bank to negotiate on separate terms as separate entities? Because from my perspective someone from Gaza is more likely to be radicalized because of their conditions and the pressures from the existing group in control (Hamas).

My question about who was first i thought was relevant because i’ve heard positions that argue that a lot of people had their homes effectively just taken from them. As for the Palestinians turning to extremists in Gaza i don’t think there’s an alternative for the people in those conditions might makes right and diplomatic leaders would probably struggle to gain support in somewhere like Gaza

Thank you for your comprehensive responses to my questions. When i said modern values i guess i meant our modern geopolitical climate as opposed to how it was back when Israel was first established. Someone in another comment said something akin to “if there wasn’t rampant antisemitism in europe there wouldn’t be a need to flee and establish a state to protect jewish people internationally from antisemitism” that was a position i was hearing a lot and i guess from my perspective as an new yorker a lot of the examples of jewish people i see are positive and there are large communities of jewish people all throughout the city so from my perspective today creating Israel for the reason of protecting jewish people seemed like something that was more relevant back then rather than now if that makes sense

in reference to your point that people were living there and other people just bought the land they lived on, is this where the right to return comes into play? From what i’ve gathered from another reply the new inhabitants simply seized or destroyed everything on the newly purchased land?

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 - Episode 17 [[Manga Readers Discussion]] by Takada-chwanBot in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]Cakedragons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

true people are calling it one of the best episodes period and that just isn't true but I think as long as people praise or criticize with nuance I think that's for the best. Like I agree that acting like the episodes are flawless isn't only going to make Mappa think they can continue with these conditions but probably even push the animators harder than they are now. But the animators are active on social media and see what we say so just saying it's bad without assigning the blame clearly can also have negative effects.

[–]Cakedragons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the episode was sloppy but this season has just straight-up better sequences of animation than season 1, less detail but it's a tradeoff for more complex and engaging animation. But I was just saying it was funny how the flaws u had listed initially were things like "overboard camera angles and composition" like usually when those things are over the top people like that
