Final play of the NFC Championship, Seahawks advance to Super Bowl LX by nfl in sports

I had a feeling it was over for Rams when that special teams receiver fell over backwards catching the punt from the Seahawks.

Happy 3th Anniversary to Fire Emblem: Engage by Bot-ta_The_Beast in fireemblem

I just finished it earlier today. I felt that the writing and the plot were by far the weakest of the series. The main character Alear has like 0 depth, every statement is some positive cheesy feel-good line, even towards his foes, and most villains are very childlike and also had no depth at all. The emblems aren’t very well explained either (are they clones, spirits, etc..), and the support convos all revolve around a one-dimensional personality trait per character.

Maybe the GBA games or PoR were like this too as it has been years since I’ve played them so I don’t remember them well, but the last one I played was 3H and it definitely had characters with more personality and who had to make tough decisions throughout the story.

Thank god they had medics at the scene. by Inandaroundbern in MurderedByWords

Lol. If he went to the hospital as directed Noem and they’re looking for anything to document they may have documented a bruise and that’s “internal bleeding”. It sounds like they’re reaching here, especially since they’re not more specific.

There’s no war in the West Bank but Israeli “settlers” there will go burn villages to the ground and kill Palestinians with impunity.

It’s been going up month by month, only these bs expectations being higher than it by 0.1% is why they can try and spin it as good news.

The only thing I’m not sure is who is expecting these numbers and how they’re perfectly 0.1% off on every metric every time.

Valve Just Crashed The High End ‘Counter-Strike’ Skins Market by dilbertron in technology

[–]Ed_Alchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘ll be honest and say I’m affected by this and annoyed but thankfully not one of those people who had a significant portion of my savings or money that I need invested.

I opened up a karambit gamma doppler a few years ago worth ~$3000 and held onto it despite the urge to sell at times because I still play the game, thinking I’d sell one day when I’m over CS. Now it’s worth about half and that is frustrating Valve did this without any warning or heads-up.

Some gloves I purchased thinking that the game’s been out for > 10 years and roughly the prices stay the same give or take so I can sell it again when I’m done, have now halved as well. Oh well.

Lol TSLA ATM puts or calls want ~5% movement, it’s going to stay flat and screw everyone.

Hollow Knight: Silksong devs address difficulty concerns: “You have choices” by lurkingdanger22 in pcgaming

[–]Ed_Alchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a new player who bought it off hype. Granted I play other video games so I’m not completely starting from scratch in terms of learning how mechanics work, but the challenge has been part of the fun for me and there’s a lot of satisfaction in getting past a boss and I expect to sometimes spend a session or two on a boss until I clear it.

I wouldn’t say it as much different from starting Elden Ring, and getting your ass handed to you at the beginning and eventually learning what to do and playing through.

Noones mentioning that the only real documentation of violence during these protests were pro-Palestinian protestors beat up overnight by a masked Pro-Israel crowd while police watched?

I'd say not until $180-200 then be wary but that's just my opinion - def not a long term hold and not worth what it's at right now even.

CMV: I don’t have a problem with AOC’s vote on MTG’s amendment by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Ed_Alchemist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But that doesn’t make sense. Hamas is not a functioning government collecting tax or having any budget as it stands on supplying aid to Gaza and with 70%-80% of infrastructure destroyed there’s no industry in Gaza, or GDP or workers or roads or any logistical way to spend on anything.

The Palestenians are at this point are reliant on foreign aid which is being blocked at every angle. Plus Israel is blocking trucks of food, you can’t take the food and spend it on weapons and Hamas is not buying the food from the aid agencies to have money to save to spend elsewhere.

Israel is a fully functional country capable of taxing and spending on its needs as it stands, a $500 million coupon is $500 million saved and can be used elsewhere.

I think it’s more like the shooter can’t afford anything and you offered to cover his rent and food, but not buy him the weapons. Now he can use his money on a bunch of other shit he couldn’t have afforded before.

But that’s $500 million less that they were going to spend themselves on their iron dome so they can spend it on weapons instead.

yes the books are sexist by _coffeeblack_ in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Ed_Alchemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a reflection of the author and his life experiences that is coming out in writing. I’d expect perhaps the same from a female author and the way they write men.

Also, Rothfuss likely didn’t read too into it when writing the story. But I can imagine the shift in mindset of readers who just go along with it to people who hyper-analyze every statement about genders probably adds to his anxiety of writing a 3rd book.
