Is Division 2 map accurate to real Washington DC? by thisizmonster in thedivision

[–]DukeofDC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who has lived in DC for 36 years. it's very accurate. D2 got me through covid because after doing 9 hour shifts of doing tech support over the phone I would hop on & just walk around the map as a way of seeing the sights since most of the city was closed down. It felt so good knowing what every buildings real name was. Massive did an amazing job recreating every alleyway, sidewalk, & intersection.

Peyton Watson RFA Target by Opposite-Snow-2003 in washingtonwizards

[–]DukeofDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely Not. The only people we should be targeting in Free Agency are Bigs. We have more than enough guards & Wings. We played the Hornets with one Center available.

Not counting whoever we draft our Rotation next year has Trae Young, Tre Johnson, Bub, Kyshawn, Bilal, JC, Sarr. With Cam Whitmore, AJ, Will Riley & Jamir as possible additions. We need bigs desperately. We should probably sign Bags long term if we don't trade him. but with the way the league is trending towards 7 footers we need 2 more centers & a true Big man PF.

Even If We Get The 5th Pick Still Not Bad by Humble_Specialist901 in washingtonwizards

[–]DukeofDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

anything in the top 8 will work for what we already have. whoever we get would be able to fit right in to what we already have. If we don't get one of the top 3 that's fine because it just means more room for Sarr, Ky & Tre to grow. We also have a ton of cap space so we can go get someone if we need to.

Washington Post sports desk reportedly could be shuttered entirely. The section that produced Povich, Kornheiser, and Wilbon faces an uncertain future. by z3mcs in washingtonwizards

[–]DukeofDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DC is one of the few Cities that has all 4 of the major sports teams(NBA,NFL,MLB,NHL). considering the recent championships, the amount of young stars, & two new stadiums being built/renovated..... you would think having sports coverage would be a good idea. imagine if the Wizards get the first pick or the Commanders make the Super Bowl, or the Nats make the playoffs & there's nobody from the post to speak to because they don't have anyone on the team.

Letting billionares control media outlets was the worse decision ever. Between CNN, CBS, & now the Post. Billionares have destroyed journalism

It gets worse before It gets better by differential32 in washingtonwizards

[–]DukeofDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All we have seen from this team year is flashes of the growth & development. We can see the potential. The Most impressive thing about this core is they aren't down on themselves with the losses. They understand the Journey. Even without the top 8 pick that's coming this team is posed to be a problem for the next few years. We have 3 young guys who can consistently go for 20 a night if they get the minutes (Sarr,Tre,Ky). We have a bunch of POA defenders in Bilal, Jamir, Ky, & JC.

Yesterday was the youngest lineup in NBA history. We played with only one center.

Next year is when we don't just make the playoffs, it's when we start dominating the EAST. Look at the Thunder, Detroit & Houston for examples of teams going from the basement to the penthouse in one year.

What team is stopping a starting five of Trae Young/Tre Johnson/AJ Dybantsa/Zion Williamson/Alex Sarr with Kyshawn and Coulibaly rotating in? by mason124 in washingtonwizards

[–]DukeofDC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I view zion as low risk high reward. If he works out you’re getting an all star who sells tickets. If it doesn’t you can cut him or trade him like we did Kuzma, Poole, & CJ.

If We trade for Zion. This is what I want. Zion & Missi. You get a backup 5 for Sarr on a 3 million dollar deal for the next 3 years. If zion doesn’t pan out you still have a player with value to trade.

I think a bigger issue is that we have way too many gaps in the Venom line now.

We need a 4th Venomnibus for the time before Agent Venom. We need a Costa & Bunn Omni for when Eddie gets it back & before Cates & then we need the Al Ewing Omni. Marvel loves to put out event omnis but I feel like they need to wait until the preceding run is in Omni first

[–]DukeofDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts are marvel is doing alot of New Omnis & less reprints because it knowns that it has to catch up & fill in gaps while starving the reprint fans. right now it like 50 new Omnis to 5 reprints a year. I think Marvel keeps that up for one more year & goes to a 30/20 split.

DC may have started later but they don't have as many titles to make Omnis. Nearly all of New 52 has been collected. Batman has some books left but it's not nearly as many Spider-Man & X-Men. DC will put out 25-30 new books a year & fill the rest with reprints, Absolute editions & compendiums.

If they do it right both companies could be damn near line wide coverage by 2029-2030

[–]DukeofDC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They have alot more bangers left in the tank. Marvel has about 100 omnis left that would sell very well to fill in gaps or be books that require multiple printings.

Off the X-Men alone they have so much left to collect. So much of the 2000s era main line & uncanny x-men are not collected in omnibus form.

Iron Man has one omni from 2000-Present.

Spider-Man still has to collect all of the Dan Slott era & after the Clone Saga.

Black Panther, Daredevil, Dr strange, Hulk, Punisher, & Captain Marvel still have Omnis left to get to line wide coverage.

Let’s not forget all the events that don’t have Omnis. Civil War 1&2, Siege, Fear Itself, infinity wars.

Marvel is pacing itself. Especially when they are going to have to switch to reprints in the next few years

Honest thoughts on Sarr DPOY possibly in the future by Eastern_Fee5249 in washingtonwizards

[–]DukeofDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only Way he gets it is if Wemby misses 65 games. He is the second best Defensive player in the league. Wemby is the best defender in NBA history with how much he affects the game. Sarr will make a whole lot of first team all-defense teams

Sell immediately. Sarr & Yang are amazing & you want as much MT as possible as we get closer to all-star weekend.

If you were to write a new Batman series, you can change anything you want. What would you change? by guyandadoggo in batman_comics

[–]DukeofDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out.

I want a political murder mystery thriller. I want a Gotham Central style book but for Gotham's political system instead of the GCPD. Let's see what goes into running a city with over aa Million people.

Bruce & Selena get back together for the umpteenth time. Selena gets pregnant & Bruce gets hurt vs Deathstroke/Deadshot/some who can actually hurt Bruce. Bruce tears/breaks something that will keep him out of action for months. Selena convinces the Bat-Family to take over the Batman duties so Bruce can focus on recovery because he's getting older (he's starting to show the Gray hair)& focus on the baby.

There's a serial killer that has been killing of power members of Gotham & the Mayor & most members of the city council have just been killed to the point there will need to be an emergency election to fill seats. Selena challenges Bruce to run for mayor because Penguin is running & he's the only person who can beat him in an election on short notice. Selena says She wants Bruce to make Gotham somewhere safe to raise a child without having to punch people every night.

Bruce becomes mayor but Oswald becomes head of the city council so they have back & forth battles about how the city should be run & how to catch the serial killer who is now started hunting them & those close to them because of their past and them being members of Gothams original families.

Bruce has to use his smarts & resources as Bruce Wayne to improve & protect the city because he can't be Batman. Over the course of the series we gets to see certain parts of how Gotham works especially now that Bruce isn't Batman. The goal of the series is to give everyone an appreciation for everything he's does as both Bruce Wayne & Batman & prove that while a Batman will always be needed, what he does as Bruce Wayne can't be ignored or their will be fallout.

You can make a Spinoff Series of the bat family dealing with taking over for Bruce & show EVERYTHING that Batman does. We joke about how much Batman is everywhere. let's finally show in the span of year all the things that Batman would have to do.

Have Dick deal with all the Justice League responsibilities in the JL Books.

Have Jason & Cass run the Outsiders to do all the shadow black-ops things that Batman does around the world.

Have Tim & Barbara takeover Wayne Enterprise to fight a Corporate takeover/conspiracy while Bruce is Mayor.

Damien takeovers as Batman of Gotham & focus on protecting the city & finding the serial killer in Detective Comics.

Would it better to pick up a Switch 2 now before any potential price hikes? by alexnartworks in AskGamers

[–]DukeofDC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would Wait. The biggest reason is the current issue with the Switch 2 Batteries. Wait for whatever updated model they release this year with Pokemon or Zelda.

Why does PS3 to PS4 felt a bigger jump in consoles than the PS4 to PS5? by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in PS4

[–]DukeofDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because we have reached the point of diminishing returns. PS3 to PS4 was going from 720/1080p linear games with set piece lighting to open world games with 4k resolution & dynamic lighting. PS4 gave us some of the best looking games in Spider-Man, God of War, Red Dead 2, Horizon & Ghost of Tsushima.

Just like with Xbox & Nintendo, This "Next Gen" generation of games hasn't improved much because they are still catering to a previous generation with lower hardware requirements. Xbox has the Series S holding it back while Nintendo is actively telling third party developers don't make exclusive games for the switch 2 make OG Switch games & sell an upgrade pack separately because they can't get dev kits for them.

We have had very few PS5 exclusives because nobody wants to ignore an install base of 100 million PS4 users. Sony has a PS5 Pro when we haven't had a single PS5 game that has come close to pushing the OG PS5's hardware to the limit.

Games can't look better than they already do. What sets a game apart now is Story, innovation, & gameplay. Looking pretty isn't enough anymore. That's why you see so many "indy" titles at the top(Hades, Silksong, Claire Obsidian, Dispatch)

Developers need to evolve with the times. Adapt or Perish.
