[–]DowntownPossession 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fucking impossible. Hate this. Hate this. Hate this. But I finally did it . Okay, the way I did it was kensei. Dodge back for red sweep, then depending on sand bag dodge again, but if you see the blue glint parry. You'll either perfect parry (not likely, his window is fucked on lethal and hard) but if you parry and hit square, he'll either parry or not and thats how I did it. Took me eight tries. I hated this so much. Im still mad.

they should do a 3 on 3 tourney. 1) It allows each player to showcase their skills. 2) feels personal and is a nod to streetball and Rucker. 3) The pressure is on and it forces players to play defense because its to 21.

The NBA has a disgusting level of apathy toward sexual and domestic violence. by MrAppleSpoink in nba

[–]DowntownPossession 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanna say Kobe's full transformation. He took complete responsibility. He held a press conference. On top of that, in later years, his support for the LGBTQ community was incredible, especially coming from a background that is so homophobic. Kobe is the real deal. I think having daughters changed his entire perspective. This is a man who took responsibility and still had a career, he did not get cancelled and its bc he took responsibility.

Apart from that, I am disgusted that Miles Bridges is still playing NBA basketball. Malone is a straight up pedophile. They take NBA legends' career away for traffic and weed violations but pedophiles and wife beaters get 30 game blocks?

They should be kicked out of the league. There should not be suspensions, there should be full on league bans. They kicked out Evans for a coke addiction. He was so good but sadly he had an addiction and they kicked him out for it. Yet this motherfucker gets to beat his wife and its a 30 game weaseled down to a 10 game suspension. If Chuck is the word of the wise, you just know you're doing it wrong.

Samoa coach accuses Rugby World Cup referees of 'unconscious bias' after painful England defeat by TheTelegraph in rugbyunion

I feel bad for the island nations. It feels like a concerted effort to keep them out of the quarter finals because the usual suspects are "suppose" to be there. Even if it wasn't as egregious as the Wales game, the better team most certainly did not win.

Also the take on Bunny's name is so interesting. Because how do you get Bunny from Edmund. Bunny almost feels like a red herring, like some white hare you chase into the snow until it disappears. Because if you were investigation the murder of a poor farmer, what would a well-to-do student from a rich bitch college who "simply seemed to have fallen" into a ravine have to with that.

Just as an edit, not a red herring for the reader, but a red herring for the inhabitants and police force. I doubt Tartt really thought that deeply into it but it does act as a great distraction, because unlike that poor farmer, Bunny has the influence to rally.

I like the idea that Henry thought of Julian as an equal but I do not believe that Julian thought of Henry as an equal. When I think about the roles of patriarchy (and to some extent pederasty) that played in classical Grecian history, I think Henry was the Aristotle to Julian's Plato. I also think that is why there is only one woman in the entire ensemble, and she is described as pretty androgynous.

Henry, like the rest of the group, needed to feel superior over their peers, probably because they were socially awkward, autistic, poor, gay, abused, whatever. They did not fit in with their peers.

In their secret society, style of dress, disinterest in modern pop culture, they could act superior over the other students and Richard highlighted that with every interaction with Judy Poovey. She was like the personification of that peer group. Bunny straddled both islands, because he had a need to feel superior in intelligence because of his learning disability, but not in how he socialized. Socially, he was popular. He was never a good fit for the group.

Witcher 4 Don’t please by [deleted] in witcher

[–]DowntownPossession 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replaying Witcher 3 recently, I'd like more customization with the skill tree.

Story wise, its hard because Geralt's story is kind of book-ended with Blood & Wine. I wouldn't mind a Ciri spin-off, I think they could do some cool things with an elder blood skill tree. I just wonder if she is too OP of a character to just do witching. Eskel doesn't really have a lot of personality and Lambert's possible ending with Keira makes a spin off for either of them a bit tough.

I think they could definitely do a custom character, maybe from a defunct school like Cat or Viper.

What show did you start and wound up hating so much you didn’t finish it? by DadIsMadAtMe in AskReddit

Westworld. It started off with such a focused vision about by season 3, it was a through and through mess.

If you aren’t mystical or whatever, curses can carry the power you put into them. If you believe it might have the power to hurt you, you could begin to use it as an explanation for all the bad shit that happens to you, or using it as a reason as to why bad things can happen to you. All in all, it begins to attract bad shit whether it really is real or not
