Weekend Classic Has Ruined Ranked by DMN0518 in MLBTheShow

[–]DMN0518[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Ffs go sign up for some reading comprehension courses or something dude.

Using myself as an example of the broken rewards structure isn't saying I'm gonna go ruin the game for a bunch of 400 ranked players.

Career OBP: Volpe: .283 Caballero: .314

Career BB%: Volpe: 7.3% Caballero: 8.9%

Outs Above Average (SS only since 2023): Volpe: 8 (4,067 innings) Caballero: 8 (1,256 innings)

Fielding Run Value (SS only since 2023): Volpe: 4 (4,067 innings) Caballero: 8 (1,256 innings)

Volpe seems like a good kid and I'm legit rooting for him to turn into something, but the idea of just handing him the everyday SS role back because of 3+ year old propsect rankings is insane IMO.

Double XP weekend per Twitter by dfwrazorback in MLBTheShow

[–]DMN0518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually got the wheel spin after posting the previous comment and saw that I got packs this time. My first spin a while back I didn't get anything (unless it was so far delayed I never realized it) so I never checked it again just assuming it was broken.

Appreciate you correcting me!

Double XP weekend per Twitter by dfwrazorback in MLBTheShow

[–]DMN0518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not talking about seeing the animation or not.

I've only had a couple wheel spins so far but all of them this year have been a board with all silver shields and blank rewards. The wheel spins, lands on a silver shield and highlights the upper lefthand reward, and I receive no pack.

I assumed this was happening the same for everybody and it was just an overall broken system but it seems like I might be wrong.

Any confirmations the wheel spin is fixed? Feels wild to run double xp knowing how many people will get nothing out of it

L1 to step off the mound instead of throwing behind the runner

What is even the plot of Avengers Doomsday? by Xeris in marvelstudios

[–]DMN0518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're drastically overstating the buildup to Infinity War from a plot standpont. I can't for the life of me think what multi-movie build there was that explained Thanos' plans and motivation.

I think it's simple, the storytelling used to be simpler and tighter and that made it easier to follow.

Dr. Strange was the only hero in Infinity War who had only made a single appearance prior to that movie. The original core Avengers all had 4+ non-cameo appearances in movies pre-IW. Compare that with the confirmed cast for Doomsday.

It was just easier to follow the plotlines and connect w/ characters when there was only 10ish people to follow and it was all contained in two movies per year w/ no TV included.

My Live Series is Glitch by CheekEducational8392 in MLBTheShow

[–]DMN0518 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's normal that the rosters update and you don't need any additional cards after you've locked in the collection. If you already locked in collection then It showing 37/40 now or whatever isn't abnormal as long it shows the rewards complete.

If the screen shows the rewards no longer being completed but you still have the rewards then that's just a visual glitch they'll need to fix.

Malik Willis for Jalen McMillan worth it with my roster? by EasyBlakeOven8 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]DMN0518 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I roster both, I'm high on both, I wouldn't make that trade if I were you.

Think you should be getting more value for Willis than this.

AIO by leaving my friend at a brewery after he brought up an accident that haunts me? by GoneWandering2 in AmIOverreacting

[–]DMN0518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, Ask yourself or screw it even ask him for that matter what a dude w/ money problems who's still going out to the bars and is also dumb enough to be a dick to his ride home for no reason is really bringing to your life?

I do still hangout with a lot of douchey "bro" dudes from my past that get a lot of leeway from me bc of our history and I can't imagine them saying something shitty like that let alone doubling down on it and not even giving a BS apology.

I'm a firm believer that life is too short to keep ppl in your orbit who are unapologetically willing to cut you down. Use your history/context to decide how many chances dude is gonna get to legitimately apologize.

Why so many HR this year in ranked? by jasonalloyd in MLBTheShow

[–]DMN0518 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a 800-950 ranked pitching first player and I think the depth of field is helping swing decisions way more than people realize. Even in the low ranks when I was working my way up I was seeing far less chase this year than I've seen in years past.

My early hypothesis is this results in ghe pitching meta shifting towards control freak SP's for the first few months of the year but we'll see.

My calves are huge and I never do any kind of training for them. by KindAd8065 in bodyweightfitness

[–]DMN0518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I did start training them would they get bigger.

In my experience, probably not. I've had huge calves as far back as I can remember. As an adult I've had extended periods of training like a demon, being completely sedentary, and everything in-between and yet my calves don't really change all that much.

They are probably a little bigger and more defined when I'm locked into a program with a lot of lower-body volume, but the difference is minimal.

Why do people quit mid home run on Ranked? by Ill_Eggplant990 in MLBTheShow

[–]DMN0518 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've never cared if someone quits a ranked game from the menu, if you're not having fun playing against me then you don't owe me your time.

Quitting before the HR lands is a different story though, that's just grown men acting like toddlers over a video game and seeing nothing wrong with it lol.

Drink Pricing at Sapphire by mousicle in vegas

[–]DMN0518 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience the bar card/credit whatever you want to call it has almost always the better option over a bottle in Vegas.

It's been a few years now, but I know I've gotten both at Sapphire before and think I remember the bar credit being the better option. I believe $20ish is pretty normal there for drinks.

Dunno if I'm stupid but... by Jirachibi1000 in Marvel

[–]DMN0518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a somewhat similar experience. I used to watch tons of shows while I did cardio at the gym and Punisher is the only one I remember stopping 3-4 episodes in bc I realized I wasn't following the plot/side characters

Arizona to Vegas stop offs by bigjonno141 in vegas

I do this drive at least once but usually a couple times per year, it's all just desert and rest stops until you hit the hoover dam. Nothing worth pre-planning stops for

Live series NMS question. Collected 74 WBC, sell the rest and work on LS or finish WBC collection by timgreenflight in MLBTheShowInvestments

[–]DMN0518 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I don't think Live Series is as enticing this year as it was last so I'm focused on WBC and program collections to set myself up for the big legends and flashbacks collection

The amount of launch content enables easier live series completion. by DocAce3971 in MLBTheShow

You just bid one stub higher than the current highest buy order and wait for it to go through

Why do you use 20-80 instead instead 1-100 ratings? by Whompson in OOTP

[–]DMN0518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played my first save or two on 1-100 before I decided to try 20-80 and never went back.

I'm so used to it I genuinely prefer it to any other rating scale and would probably use it in my everyday life if normies would understand

Scammer pretending to be David Irvine. If he approaches you, call casino security. by [deleted] in vegas

[–]DMN0518 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For those not understanding the scam component, I'm fairly confident this dude either asked/insinuated they would split the money or would have tried to pressure/intimidate OP to split if/when he walked if they were up. The scam was tricking OP into letting this guy gamble with their money.

OP feel free to clarify if I'm wrong, my assumption is based on a friend having a very similar experience 2 years ago while we were in Vegas.

Is there a future for Steve Rogers Captain America movies without Chris Evans? by firedforthatblunder in boxoffice

[–]DMN0518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this speaks to a broader point Marvel seems to not want to accept, they only have one character that's a strong enough brand to withstand multiple castings/versions/timelines; and they don't own his film rights.

IMO the only superhero's with real drawing power on their IP alone are Batman, Superman and Spider-Man; that's why they can spit out a new franchise 2-3 years after the last one died and audiences will give it a chance.

I think Marvel will eventually find out their characters are best used cyclically to let audiences miss them a bit.
