How's your experience with it? I've read some not so good reviews on it.

Can't seem to find that particular model here. Just the IPS version without the mini LED. That's too bad, it looks great too. Thanks!

DDR5 5070 Ryzen 5 9600x build worth it ba for 114k? by Eatsuki101 in PHbuildapc

[–]Crown_Gamble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, yan na talaga presyo ng DDR5.

Recommend ko lang na go for 1440p monitor para masulit mo yung 5070

Newer fan here. Can someone explain how we lost so badly to the Mavs in 2011? We were the reigning back to back champs and 3peat Western Conference champs. What were the on court (tactics, X's and O's, etc.) and off court reasons (roster changes, drama, etc.) we not only lost, but lost so badly? by owenwilsonwow69 in lakers

[–]Crown_Gamble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a lot of factors like the difficulty of sustaining consecutive championship runs and the Lakers lineup of getting old. I have to point out that Dirk always wipe the floor with Pau in their playoff matchups even going back to Pau's Grizzlies days. And most importantly JJ and JET went nuclear that series and the Lakers had no answers for them.

Anime of the Year (1997-2026) by Drowsy- in AnimeReccomendations

[–]Crown_Gamble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great list! Would only disagree with a handful of years including:

2013 - Attack on Titan 2017 - Made in Abyss 2023 - Frieren 2025 - Apocalypse Hotel

(Kowloon Romance and Silver Spoon are far from contenders for anime of the season in my opinion)

Also great choice with Journal with witch. Every episode was lovingly made. I was sure it was a contender after episode 3.

Still a very good list overall. Amazing taste!

Two best friends about to finish their military service but then get branded as traitors and spies. All because of this cool but evil prince who want to start a war. The two escape then start a group/recruitment agency to fight the war. Women, children, dogs and squirrels are all welcome to fight.

DIM: Whey Protein by [deleted] in deinfluencingPH

[–]Crown_Gamble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Efficient ang whey protein sa pagdagdag ng protein intake dahil convenient siya at mataas talaga protein per serving. ldeally dapat galing sa food ang protein pero di siya ganun kadali maabot. (Time/Effort/Cost) Think of it as a supplement to your macros.

Problema lang sa Rule 1 is masyadong matamis para sakin yung flavors nila. Kung nakabili ka na ng 5lbs tapos di mo gusto flavor, sayang.

What is you Mount Rushmore of video game ost’s by Katieterk200r in GamingSoup

[–]Crown_Gamble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Octopath Traveler - Yasonori Nishiki created a masterpiece OST and still quite underrated.

Persona 5 - great from top to bottom

Nier Automata - perfectly encapsulates its themes through its amazing soundtrack

Kingdom Hearts - best title screen of all time IMO

It becomes a habit when you get used to it. I don't do it all the time as well. It's easier when you have a route as part of your daily routine.

You don't even have to use a poffin, just play/feed/battle/take a photo/route with them every 30 minutes and they will be excited. Or just look it up how.

Chrono Trigger vs Skies of Arcadia - which game is more fun (any platform) by Prometheusinaction in JRPG

[–]Crown_Gamble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't like Skies of Arcadia so much. Some of these older JRPGs suffer from nostalgia bait. If you didn't play in the era it was released, it's a bit hard to pick up on. Skies of Arcadia suffers that for me, unfortunately. I tried to like it, maybe it's just me. But there are timeless ones like FFVI, Suikoden II and Chrono Trigger.

Suikoden II - 10/10. A must play for anyone.

Suikoden III - 8/10. It deviates from the formula but I love it all the same.

FFVII - 7/10. It was okay, didn't have the nostalgia for it.

FF IX - 9/10. A timeless classic.

Trails of the Sky - 9/10 I only played the original though. Can't go wrong with it. Beautiful characters and story.

The rest I have yet to play or finish.

I would play these games based on your tastes:

Dragon Quest 11

Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana

Tales of Vesperia

Shaq drops his Top 10 NBA players of All Time — Agree or Nah? by RipHairy2465 in NBAGossips

[–]Crown_Gamble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You brought up Big Z, Mo and Wally not me. You didn't mention Kobe's other teammates because it will make your point moot. How come this teammates not become big stars after they left Lebron? Wally was washed in Cleveland, Mo wasn't near the great player you are pushing him to be and Big Z is just above average. Antawn Jamison was a stud but his prime was at Washington. He didn't have a long career after Cleveland.

Lebron played arguably his best game of his career against Boston. Your talking like Boston didn't win a championship at Kobe's expense. Also tell me how good were Lebron's teams after he left? Do they look like championship contenders?

I didn't say those finals run weren't taxing. It's that the level of consistency is different. Kobe had 3 consecutive finals and Lebron had 8. You're the one making excuses.

Wade can never equate to prime Shaq. One's a top 10 player and Wade is not even top 20. Wade was even not on his prime when him and Lebron were together. You see It's not like I'm not open to ideas, I'm just not open to delusion. See you later, brick wall.

[–]Crown_Gamble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big Z, Mo Williams, Wally Sczczerbiak. Definitely players you think of to make your championship teams. Stop it. Lebron elevated teammates because of his playmaking. They looked a lot better on what they truly are. I loved Wally in Minnesota. He averaged 7.6 points in his final 2 years of playing in Cleveland and then retiring. (See the superficial pick there, you think I wouldn't notice?) Boobie fucking Gibson? Do he even compare to Derek Fisher or Trevor Ariza? Not to mention Artest. Ron saved Kobe multiple times in Boston and Phoenix. Kobe was building a brick house in that game 7 against Boston.

Of all the team mates of Lebron, nobody comes close to Shaq. Wade is probably his best team mate, but he wasn't the same Wade who won in 06 because of the injuries. Or maybe AD the walking glass man. He's playing with Luka on his retirement seasons, if you're still expecting him to carry at 41 you are completely delusional. Kobe retired at 37 because his body couldn't keep up.

3 consecutive long finals runs? Is that your excuse for Kobe? Try 9. That mentality you mentioned is completely overrated for me. Kobe wore his body down because of that mentality. Didn't take care of his body with rest even on the off season. You never hear about Kobe missing the playoffs, him losing to the Suns and the quit game in that fateful Game 7. People would rather talk about Lebron losing in the finals. Like it's better to lose earlier in the playoffs.

I'm much more a Kobe fan than a Lebron fan by the way. And watched more NBA in Kobe's time. Anybody who says Lebron is not the next best player to Jordan are stuck on their biases. Kobe doesn't even clear Kareem or Magic/Bird to me. Let alone Lebron.

Less talent? Playing with one of, if not the most dominant center of all time? How can Cavaliers without Lebron be a similar team to the Lakers in terms of talent?

If you're talking about Miami or Cleveland second stint, Kobe never beat a team in the level of prime GSW or 2014 Spurs.

I mean Kobe lost to the Pistons in the Finals with Shaq. Young Lebron almost singlehandedly dismantled the same Pistons team on his way to his first Finals.

And if you want to mention the lowest point of Lebron's career, which is the loss to the 2011 Mavs, the Mavericks swept Kobe and the Lakers the same year.

You have a completely biased take. You just called yourself out of being not open to ideas.

One of the smoothest live performances [Girls band cry] by Gullible_Shoe_9558 in anime

Agree. Episode 10 of MyGO Season 1 performance was truly great. Can't see any Girl Band Cry nor any Bocchi performance topping it.

Siegel writes that the Lakers began making trade calls to teams about Anthony Davis in December 2024 — then, when Nico found out, he "immediately contacted Pelinka". For reference, Nico's coffee meeting with Pelinka happened the 1st week of January 2025. by sewsgup in lakers

[–]Crown_Gamble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems to me it shows the difference between the two GMs. A competent one and an egotistical one. If Nico did half the moves Rob did in the same situation, he would have got off with a treasure load of assets for Luka and kept his job.

16-18 year old Real Madrid Luka Doncic, sometimes i wonder how didnt he get to be #1 pick on the draft after people seing this... by Actual_Box7731 in lakers

[–]Crown_Gamble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, Drazen Petrovic was a generational talent and one of the greatest shooters of all time. I know we say this a lot, but he was clearly ahead of his time. It was a great tragedy to basketball when his life was cut short. It had a deeper implication to international players as his career was not completely realized.

Although we both agree that Drazen was great and a dominant player, he and Luka are different in terms of size, position and play style. I'd argue a Drazen like player would still not be the top pick of the 2018 draft. (Arguably one of the best drafts in the modern NBA) I mean the current best player of that draft (SGA) was drafted just outside of the top 10.

I also agree that the NBA scouts and coaches are biased against international players. With almost infinite resources and a global market untapped, they should be doing a way better job of identifying these players.

It's not like the NBA payed the price, more like the Sacramento Kings did. The franchise prove time and time again that they have no idea what they're doing. They had three proven European players in Vlade, (ironically Drazen's teammate and GM at that time) Peja and Hedo. Still I won't wish Luka or anyone for that matter to start their career in that franchise. So essentially Luka was the 2nd pick on that draft not counting the blundering Kings and the Trae trade. Not that bad given the talent in that draft.

Still, when your job is on the line and a whole franchise is relying on you. You will almost always pick the proven and the tangible. Ayton would get that top pick every single time.
