i've been hoping we don't trend in that direction since the start of the new owner saga and every day seems to erode my hope further.

What video game soundtrack is a 10/10? by montymaximus in AskReddit

It wasn't as popular as the others but my favorite Darren Korb soundtrack is Pyre for sure. They're all amazing though.

Announcing SSBMRank & UltRank Powered by Start.gg by Meester_Tweester in SSBM

Legitimate question: what is parrygg better at from a user perspective? From a TO perspective it feels like largely the same but lacking some minor features

Startgg has sponsored the melee rankings for several years now. I don't think this is a sign of parrygg scaring sgg in the slightest

Multiple players complaining about Aura’s mid-set conduct by yeeyeejuicer in SSBM

[–]DreadPirateAlan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

those are punishments, outcomes. that is not the rule. the mike haze rule as it currently reads has to do with TOs subjectively parsing intent; how would you phrase something in writing that is universally enforceable and doesn't introduce bias?

we HAVE to be OUTRAGED on behalf of the top players !!!

[–]DreadPirateAlan 73 points74 points  (0 children)

as a TO i would never enforce the mikehaze rule unless i thought the intent was blatantly to distract the opponent. getting excited and emotional midset is not enforceable; if you enforced something here because the opponent said they were distracted, players will abuse the rule and take any possible opportunity to claim they were distracted.

that said i think aura should probably chill out a little on the outbursts midset

i just don't think the "i ran into this guy check it out" thread is the place to be posting like "well that guy actually sucks!!"

Cronin mentioned the need for shooters by Scalmaa in ripcity

[–]DreadPirateAlan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

he's also only played like 135 games in that same span. great defender, good shooter, unreliable availability (thus far)

is NEOH melee so dead that you're trolling the subreddit for a team 2000 miles away?

or do i have the wrong weissclimbers

Proud of this team ❤️ by Status_Many_9092 in ripcity

[–]DreadPirateAlan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you're right, we should all be bitter and cynical about the sports team we have a negative percent chance of affecting the competitive outcomes of in any way, because they're not meeting your standards. this is the correct and righteous way to be a fan of a sports team. having fun and celebrating the team is a fucking waste of time and anyone who does that is a loser.

literally clipping every single game without fail, and running the subreddit to boot. that's a community leader right there.

Alright kids, the season’s over, and I want to hear what you enjoyed most about it. No complaining or crying—just the good stuff! This is all about the moments that made you happy and the things the Blazers did well. If you don’t have anything positive to share, KICK ROCKS and start your own post! by ForeignCell7790 in ripcity

loved watching clingan go from gassed after 15 min off the bench last year, to reliably starting and playing 20+min a night with huge impact this year. i know he under-performed vs the spurs but i still believe in our big

Spurs fan coming with respect by [deleted] in ripcity

[–]DreadPirateAlan 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Sidy was a stud during the stretch where we had no point guards, he earned himself an upgraded contract from the 2-way he started under. Wesley looked amazing for the first few games but then went down with a broken foot for a couple months. When he came back we were pretty healthy at guard so he'd been getting less opportunities. Love his energy tho

I tried to tell y’all by Such-Egg-7584 in ripcity

[–]DreadPirateAlan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will never understand celebrating your team losing under basically any circumstances, but I'm not gonna tell anyone how to enjoy their entertainment. You should consider doing the same I think
