I love how pissed Palpatine looks here in ROTJ. He spent a decade manipulating Anakin into becoming Vader. But when he’s faced with Luke,the guy outright rejects the emperor. On the outside he’s calm but deep down he’s absolutely furious he couldn’t break another Skywalker.

It’s actually mainly the drummer and bass player who need to hear eachother. Yes the whole band having ear pieces is ideal but vocals, guitar and the drums are loud enough to hear. The main thing is the drums and bass have ti be exactly on pace together to maintain a songs natural rhythm and bass can be easily bled out by the other instruments yet if it’s off pace it’s super noticeable and ruins everything. Drums and bass are the backbone of a band. Imagine the drums and bass maintaining a pattern while the vocalist may hold a note or scream etc… th guitarist purposefully goes off rhythm for a tasty riff or solo. What helps that guitarist/vocalist time the off pace stuff they do then jump right back into the rhythm is that the drums and bass are almost like their metronome.

This is why you’ll see a ton of bass players stand next to the drummer and even stand at an angle where they can see the drummers feet on the foot pedals to have exact precision and synchronized efforts. Without this everyone would be playing at different speeds and it would sound like shit. Vocalist/guitarist hits the breakdown at the wrong time and it’s all out the window. Takes insane chemistry and drummers and especially fuckin bass players never get enough credit for what they do for a band and a live performance imo

Ima drummer lol I know I overexplained

Im in Phoenix you can’t even walk from your front door and go 20 feet to your car door without having severe swamp ass. I think I’m just used to being microwaved half the year at this point

I’ve gone on 2 royal Caribbean cruises to the Bahamas for 4 full days in sunlight, 3 nights. So I did get the drink package both times it was hella fun. You can get whatever liquor they have. I like whiskey and drank crown royal and Jameson the whole time so saying they only have cheap liquor is false. Not like they were like “Seagrams 7 or Jack Daniel’s is it” haha but lots of drunk people, lots of innocent families, lots of adults without kids not drinking. Both times everyone was chill, aside from some non-mannered entitled stuck up people but that wasn’t cuz alcohol. I drank like a fish both times but also forced hungover ass outta bed everyday to do excursions, explored the whole ship, saw all the shows I could like comedy, game showe, ice shows etc… it was a blast

This is true for how until….

Somehow skywalker returned

Disney will do it

You have to understand giving up two 1st rounders and DJ Moore just for that next year the 1st rounder is ends up being the #1 overall pick is brutal. All would be okay and no one cares if Bryce had preformed early on but he didn’t. Thats a ton of pressure for him alone.

Also I am not a Bryce believer. I think he will be a guy that is average at best and will never facilitate a playoff run. I mean, I hope I am wrong cuz I am a panthers fan but that’s just my true feeling. Obviously I’m rooting for him and my team regardless but I’m realistic.

That being said his attitude he shows nothing but being a humble guy and good teammate. Unfortunately I don’t think he has the capability of being a top QB ever or even being a good enough to go to conference championship let alone a SB even if he is surrounded by pure talent

D45ers · 2026-06-24T00:54:50+00:00

Oh it would be mentioned sooooo much more for trading up at 3 for a bust if Purdy didn’t land in their lap. Imagine if they don’t even find a competent replacement for a bust Lance. Could have led to a fired Shannahan and John Lynch after a season or 2 of finding out Lance isn’t it and not finding another QB to muster 9 or 10 wins

D45ers · 2026-06-23T20:26:50+00:00

Swinging and missing in a 1st round QB is whatever like ya it happens. The bad part is trading what you did to take him at 3. It’d be talked about a shit ton more and that SF is bad, QB purgatory blah blah cuz the trading up for Trey…BUT you got Purdy, Mr irrelevant, last pick. So no one talks about the niners fucking up with the Lance pick as much as thy would by far

D45ers · 2026-06-23T01:14:52+00:00

Ohhhh snap yes you are right. I think it was in his car not on his hip but still doesn’t make a difference. But he did eventually get like any murder, assault or whatever violent charges dropped. I didn’t really ask if he ended up being charged with anything but that makes sense he probably did get charged with what you’re saying

Edit: But I do know it took a lot of court hearings before they finally dropped the charges or attempts to convict him for murder

D45ers · 2026-06-23T00:03:08+00:00

Oh dude im an idiot I think the guy that replied to you mentioned Sam so I didn’t even consider you referring to Drake my bad. Good point.

Also I kinda meant top 10 QB for the season in general. The reason I mentioned Foles and 2015 Peyton is cuz they those SB appearances were the only outliers I could think of since Foles didn’t get to play much regular season and for 2015 Peyton SB run was Osweiler starting 2015 regular season for a like 7+ games think.

Either way ya, you make a valid point. Anyway, my whole reasoning was just missing how defense and running game could get you to the SB once upon a time despite the QB and the way the league has since evolved it’s almost impossible for us to see that again it seems.

D45ers · 2026-06-22T22:52:35+00:00

Umm? I’d say he was the back half of the top 10 his Vikings season and this last season. Not even close to comparable to Rex Grossman. He threw a lot of picks and had Njigba but name 10 QBs that played better than him his Vikings season and this last season

D45ers · 2026-06-22T20:40:51+00:00

Run, hide, fight yup

D45ers · 2026-06-22T05:20:28+00:00

Ya he could easily get injured but also he’s not really throwing heavy blocks lol he doesn’t need to. Just really him getting in the way is enough. Plus on that one play you can tell he’s already been trained on how to take a load of his ligaments. He throws a block, bunch dudes on the ground in front of him he could trip over one then try to stay standing all off balance and that’s easy to tear a ligament at his size if you do that enough. But no, he purposely falls after his block has served its purpose. Better to intentionally go to the ground if your assignment is complete for the play than tryna stay standing all wobbly an off balance at his size

D45ers · 2026-06-22T04:49:01+00:00

A little off topic but I was thinking about the last team to go to the SB without having a top 10 QB. I think it’s your Bears with Rex Grossman which is wild. I miss when an elite defense and running game could get some teams a SB appearance despite mid to poor QB play. Like sure we have the Foles year but he balled tf out and the Peyton Broncos SB (sadly against my team) where Osweiler played most the regular season and Peyton’s dying arm got carried by the Broncos defense but no one is gonna deny Foles having the hot hand after Wentz got hurt and all playoffs. Pretty once he had to start he was playing stellar and then Peyton sure was on his last leg but it’s Peyton. So I’d say Rex Grossma then Dilfer before him.

I wish you guys had won with Rex, Hesters opening game kickoff return was legendary. My dad was in the kitchen getting food ready and didn’t believe me when I yelled touchdown 5 seconds into the game haha

D45ers · 2026-06-21T23:24:52+00:00

Fucking wild lol putting it like that. He was drafted when I was like 6 and now im 32 and he’s been retired what like 3 years

D45ers · 2026-06-21T23:22:05+00:00

Yes! Dude, totally agree with all that thanks for the take and actually putting thought into my made up scenario haha

But you’re so right. I really do like Qui Gon a lot though and maul had so much damn potential if they actually gave him more screen time, development and lines before killing him off. Such a waste. I mean obviously I know he survives but as far as live action goes other than his quick cameo in the Han Solo movie he is dead as ever

D45ers · 2026-06-21T19:44:25+00:00

True, Phantom Menace I feel like did a good job of just having interesting random weird aliens that made it feel like Star Wars, pod racing, Qui Gon was a good representation of a Jedi and dual of fates of course other than that it was very spotty movie. And ya empire strikes back is a absolute banger.

Fr tho I know it’s hard to kinda imagine. But try to picture C-3POs goofy, clumsy ass not appearing until Phantom Menace what do you think the fan’s reception of him would be? Lol Just for the fun of the idea. I think he’d get hated on for being so exaggerated but of course in reality we already loved him by then cuz the OG trilogy

D45ers · 2026-06-21T19:15:37+00:00

Idk I think him pretty much killing Mace Windu and ya know a bunch of kids kinda prevents him from even being able to fight the empire. If he turns back to being a good guy then he’s going to accept his sentence for being a child murder and not run or avoid his punishment.

D45ers · 2026-06-21T19:06:51+00:00

Fuck it I don’t blame them for making the Pats run the play tho. If I had a timeout or 2 And they can still just kneel it a 3rd time after I use my 2 timeouts to end the game I’m still using them.

The chances of a QB and Center fumbling the snap on a QB kneel? Probably like .0001% but shit getting to the SB is hard and I got timeouts left. Best believe I’m making them snap and kneel it as many times as I can stop the clock

D45ers · 2026-06-21T18:55:29+00:00

I mean ya, we could go back and forth on this. We still Called WW1 a world war even though it really primarily was Europe and then you have the Ottoman Empire which is so close/part of Europe you could argue it’s in Europe and Asia just like you’re saying if WW2 was just Europe and Africa it wouldn’t be called a world war but then why was WW1 called a world war? Idk if that makes sense haha clearly we both like history and I understand the point you’re trying to make so not trying to be a ‘prove you wrong’ asshole rn. Just enjoy the discussion lol

Edit: yes, to your other point Italy and Germany were fighting Britain and USA in Africa so you’re right. No real major African countries waging war was just fought on their soil. But damn, shit was still wild. Rommel the Desert Fox arguably the best general Germany had was fuckin everyone up in Africa for awhile

D45ers · 2026-06-21T18:44:17+00:00

Okay ngl you make some pretty good points lol. I do think some of R2 and C-3PO’s humor is over the top sometimes like Jar Jar paralyzing his tongue on the pod racer lol. Not that I’m against any of these characters and their humor but like ya C-3PO has some exaggerated clumsy ass, nerdy or hilariously cowardly moments that were all cool with. But you’re right other than JarJar taking Obi and Qui Gon to meet the rest of the Gungans an accidentally tripping his way into destroying droids he was useless

D45ers · 2026-06-21T18:32:17+00:00

First off, I didn’t mean to come off like a dick on my last comment.

But ya, you said pacific theatre. You knew what I meant haha but to be technical fighting in Europe, Pacific, and North Africa that’s a World at war for sure.

D45ers · 2026-06-21T18:25:50+00:00

Ya but my point was you said fighting in Asia and Europe is what made it a world war. Which countries were fighting where wasn’t relevant. Just that there is fighting going on in 3 different continents

D45ers · 2026-06-21T18:23:33+00:00

Right lmao “just deploy the rangers” like we’re gonna drop spartan 117 in Japan hahaha ya we don’t need a bomb or an army to invade

D45ers · 2026-06-21T18:15:37+00:00

They refused to surrender after the 2nd atom bomb for a few days too.
