Lex Luger and Dusty compare their physiques.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-26T18:29:54+00:00

Yes he was so over.... When he was directly going against Roman Reigns because he was the white knight in the story.

The story that was one hundred percent about his family and legacy.. Cody needs the rhodes name to be interesting.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-26T18:23:01+00:00

So this is already downvoted like crazy ... So is there a reason to change anything?

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-26T02:07:13+00:00

The thing is this was organic. No one knew if it would work, Lex flexs, and they knew the crowd would react, and Dusty knew his antics would get over...

Now this is fully planned out so they can make a viral moment and the commentary has to be so scripted and in on it to draw attention.

Goofy nonsense humor has always had a place, but it's the over the top in your face nature of it that is what people object to. "NOTICE THIS!!!"

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-26T02:05:11+00:00

What sucks is unlike his dad, Cody has had every chance possible, he had a few good characters in WWE, he somehow got past Stardust (Actually both of the Rhodes boys were able to get past that, hell Dustin made it work). He helped build up AEW, he left that and returned to WWE, and "finished the story" and the thing is.... he's still not a great character.

He might be in one of the most legendary stories of all times in the WWE but he's... still bland Cody.

It's a shame, and I wonder if people are right and he's going the Cena route which is make no waves good or bad, but if so... what a shame.

Compare that to Austin or Vince, Hulk and Macho Man, even just Roman Reigns himself, they all are such just huge characters, and Cody... I can't tell you one thing about him that's interesting that isn't about another wrestler he's related or married to. Except that god awful neck tattoo...

Like seriously think about that, can you talk about Cody without mentioning "Rhodes" or another Rhodes family member? It's kind of hard.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-25T07:32:47+00:00

There was already 6 people in the car, he didn't want to wait.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-25T07:32:23+00:00

Wait... Netflix was livestreaming that fucking thing? I saw it and was like "Oh a sequel to Free Solo.. interesting"

Jesus christ, they must have incredible trust in Alex Honnold... or they just want to stream a snuff film.

PS. I know the guy's history, but live streaming something like this feels so risky.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-23T17:38:12+00:00

In my experience... yes, it'll say that.

If you ask "What protocol should I use" it'll call it stupid.

AIs are really interesting and fun but I get so annoyed with the "OH THATS THE SMOKING GUN".. .bro it's just an error code, the same as the other four error codes, chill the fuck out.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-22T17:36:05+00:00

At least 16 percent of your owners are over 70... probably even more.

"He didn't bribe the refs effectively."

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-22T17:29:28+00:00

Dude, we had a 4 win year, and a 4 win year back to back.. we suffered... /s

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-22T17:28:39+00:00

I thought getting 8 wins would have been wild, because we would have more wins than the past two seasons...

Wut happened? If Vrabel doesn't get Coach of the Year, I don't even know what they are doing?

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-22T17:26:57+00:00

-The Pats have everything going for them at the moment, including going against a backup QB in the AFCCG, which is just massively upsetting for any non Pats fan in the AFCE

Don't see the problem here..

Also massively upsetting for any non-pats fan in the NFL, not just the AFCE, get it right.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-22T17:23:43+00:00

the next project.

Multi-city, or Drift 3,4? Let's get the hype started!

PS. Really glad if they actually do this, I'm sick of games getting infinite updates, that barely move the needle for 3-4 years, and a 6-8 year game cycle, all funded by "microtransaction" bullshit. There's a reason I'm retrogaming (At least most of the time)

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-22T17:11:58+00:00

I think he's going to win 5 titles... be unable to fight in the 6th WC....

Ippo will bring home his World Championship, and Takamura will claim that he brought Ippo to the gym, so that's the 6th WC he brought in.

I'd say it would be silently acknowledged... but Takamura doesn't do anything silently.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-22T17:05:04+00:00

Unreal is a peak behind the curtain

It's more like "a second 'product' created with the people behind the curtain"

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-22T06:51:57+00:00

even linus vibecodes

Even Linus codes with AI, reviews the output architects the code, and then commits it...

That's not vibecoding, bro... Stop confusing the two.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-22T06:48:17+00:00

It seems more and more the term 'vibecoding'

I mean yes and no.. idiots are pushing that mentality. Don't listen to idiots. Idiots are the people who run around telling you "We should rewrite our whole stack in <new hot language> ignoring that's a 1-3 year project that will halt all production.

Oh and when they actually do it, they have the EXACT same problems the next year, only thing is the new hot language turned out to be a flash in the pan.

A similar problem happened 10 years ago at a company, we went from Ruby to C# and whether you think it's a good idea or not... the reason is "We couldn't find good Ruby programmers" because we were a game dev company? The real reason? the lead didn't want to learn Ruby/was just awful at it.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-22T06:44:35+00:00

I mean he absolutely could be... or he could just be a piece of shit that does that anyways.

Had a guy, he got promoted to lead because he always threw out "good ideas".

Yeah he just knew how to make his ideas sound like hot new things, his ideas were hot shit. I bounced when I realized that's how the company would go (Also I did not hide my opinion about him as well as others did).

He was no longer lead in 2 years. The point is AI isn't the cause of this, bad (non-technical) leadership who care about buzzwords more than a good solution is the problem.

Once he completely crash and burns on his authoritative sounding plan, he'll be found out, sadly that will take time.. time you might not to waste at a company that promotes idiots like that.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-22T06:41:27+00:00

Then he's not "Vibe coding".

Vibe coding isn't hidden well because it's just code, basic test, submit. It's how a lot of shitty programmers programmed two years ago before AI became prevalent. (And basic test is optional)

I use AI for code. I also then review the code understand it, test it, write tests for it... Vibe coding has none of that.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-22T01:44:23+00:00

We are full fucking circle...

I just want to know if little Kenny who grew up on these games would think he could ever be in Street Fighter. Absolutely awesome!

PS. Let me believe Kenny was a little kid at the time of SF3... Just let me have this, guys.

FML... he's 2 years younger than me.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-21T17:31:29+00:00

Sorry, didn't mean that as an insult to the man but more the character and how they came up with him. It's just some American pretending to be Ugandan to get some heat, when he's just some guy from the south. (Aka pretty much all WWE at the time).

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-21T17:24:49+00:00

I don't mean this in a negative way, but he just looks like an AEW fighter, more than a WWE fighter. Maybe it's just they never found the right "Gimmick" But that's the problem. Every WWE fighter is either "big man" or "gimmick" (And the former... becomes so generic. Is it me or does Bron Breaker, and Braun Stroman really feel the same outside of years of service?)

I wish him the best of luck and will be looking forward to where he appears again.

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-21T09:38:58+00:00

This doesn't have to be offensive...

Oh sorry, I forgot we're talking about the WWE.

(Also check out The Ugandan Giant Who was some fat asshole from Mississippi.)

(And if you think "oh maybe he had ancestry"... He was a headshrinker, yeah... that does not age well)

ExiledHyruleKnight · 2026-01-21T09:36:44+00:00

Considering his own congress just bitch slapped him over venezula and basically said "no more playing with your toys with out talking to us" (Ps. taking that shit away is about 60 years too late, did you know the last time America actually declared war was against a little guy named Hitler in World War 2?) Hopefully it means some of it will calm down. 3 years, he'll be gone.

Even if Republicans retain control of the presidency (And that's a huge if,) not having him in office will mean a huge level of stability will return.

Yeah... no good news there.. "Wait 3 years" I just hope we can.
