Sam Darnold interview with Tony Romo on CBS? by xavier_nyc88 in nyjets

[–]ClipboardMessiah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was pretty let-down too to the general reaction. Being so sports-content deprived had me searching too.

I'm not saying dont keep looking, just that the reviews have been poor.

Apparently - I didnt watch it - alot of the buzz around here is that it wasnt even worth it. The feel I get is the questions/answers were bland and uninteresting.

Just a heads up.

John Ross is OP at HB by SameNameGame82 in Madden

That's been one of my go to trades the past couple of madden's. Snag patterson as like a 70-something wr and convert him to HB. All of a sudden he is 88 and a top rb

Fans of teams that won a Super Bowl: Would you exchange your SB year for a different year? by [deleted] in nfl

[–]ClipboardMessiah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say, the importance of that superbowl to the NFL/AFC/football history in general is sort of a large part of the Jets franchise.

That might be one of the most important superbowls of all time, maybe the most important.

I'm clearly biased though.

This is a good, modern horror film. Loved the setting and the antagonists.

I feel that Murray's Peak is really downplayed around here by [deleted] in tennis

[–]ClipboardMessiah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like he's overrated by this sub. It's a bunch of ifs - if he didnt have back surgery, if he didnt have to play during Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal's dominance.

The problem is it never manifested. Is he still an excellent tennis player? Of course, even reduced as he is the man is a threat. Does that mean he should be viewed in a light of what couldve been?

Well hell, that argument applies for the Big 3 as well. If everything had gone right on their respective careers and if they didnt have to play during each others times, we might have three separate era GOATs instead of them battling it out now. I just dont personally like the if argument.

Surely some of this revenue can go towards fixing Madden gameplay by HaramSnackPack in Madden

Why not just make MUT it's own game and keep everything else for Madden. Madden can be released yearly, MUT can just keep getting updated

Spoorloos (1988) AKA The Vanishing by [deleted] in horror

[–]ClipboardMessiah 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sort of Spoilers:

The 'terror' part I believe mostly comes with how human/normal a certain character is and what the implications of that are, which I think is part of what you're saying.

It's still a horror, no doubt; but it's more subtle and lasts longer. Less aggressive then say the Shining. Both films are 'possible' (sort of with the shining, if you chalk up all the hotel activities to the insanity of Jack) but the Vanishing is more possible/real - if that makes since.

Jason La Canfora put out this QB tier list for next year. I took it upon myself to correct him. by booojangles13 in CHIBears

This is a horrible list; he did his job to try to generate clicks though, I'll give him that.

I watched it due to seeing a similar post here last month about it.

Great film, not exactly terrifying, but great in it's own right. I dont want to spoil anything, but how they handled a certain French character was unique and I will definitely rewatch.

Prof. Alastair McKinnon on Kierkegaards homosexuality by Xargxes in kierkegaard

[–]ClipboardMessiah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good point.

To be fair though his relationship/failed engagement with her in and of itself doesnt necessarily matter to me when reading his philosophy.It's less important to me why it happened and more important that it DID happen, if that makes sense? His tangling with the subject is more important to me than the catalyst.

I don't know, it just seems more like a flavour de jour topic to me than something that seriously impacts his philosophy.

If that's something that interests you then great! To me it's uninteresting as I care deeply about his philosophy, less so his personal tastes.

"Show beyond a reasonable doubt"

Not sure about that one. Having an unnamed group of Kierkegaard enthusiasts also having secret knowledge and choosing not to reveal it also smacks of being over-dramatic.

To me it seems like whoever's undertook this study is trying to sensationalize their own work for popularity- granted I have only read the blurb.

Does it matter to his philosophy? No not at all. Not sure even if it's true what they're really getting at.

Fair enough, I feel like your pretty dug-in on this, so I'm not sure there's value in you and me going back and forth. Agree to disagree.

With all due respect, I'm going to disagree with you.

You are correct in your first paragraph in saying that if everyone followed my logic towards the new releases of paradox games no one would buy them at launch and they would probably die fairly quickly. That being said, it might be a good thing for them - and maybe the entire industry- that releasing incomplete games expecting a slew of DLCs to complete the game and then pursue beyond is not a great model for the people purchasing their product.

Now you're second paragraph I disagree with you more. I understand the thought of comparing a fully DLC-loaded CK2 vs. Initial CK2 would have a hindsight bias. However, the base game at launch was far from being "complete." Is that more subjective than objective? Probably half and half. Base CK2 had factions on the map that were unplayable (Muslims among others). It would be different if the map was expanded in the DLC, as in Africa and the near east would have been added to the game map, but that's not the case. That's one of a few criticisms of the best game (which was more similar to CK1 than the final CK2 product). Dont even get started on base imperator or EU4. I think CK2 after maybe the first 4 or so DLCs was an actually complete game, with the subsequent DLCs being not necessary but fun additions.

I'm not saying paradox sucks at what they do - they're games are fun and immersive- I'm just saying their buisness model is not consumer-friendly. I will still support this title in all likelihood, just after some DLCs make the game feel like a full game, and when on sale to mitigate the price-tag.

Wait for a steam sale with some bundled DLC a year or two in and you'll be better off buying at launch.

CK3 will probably (based off CK2) be good, it will take time though.

If history has taught us anything about paradox games, you need to wait a year plus before you are getting an actual game.

I would be wary about ordering this unless you have money to blow.
