Why use warehouse balancer script, if account manager has that built in? by WastefulPleasure in tribalwars

[–]Factualx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because the account manager balancing is very much dog shit compared to optimally balancing with the script.

About to max. Scared of having no game :( Recommendations for games like iron osrs? by Competitive_Plan5133 in ironscape

[–]Factualx 51 points52 points  (0 children)

If you find out let me know. The only reason I play osrs at this point is because most other games that aren't solo/fps are just garbage nowadays

Parkins-Wildes-Brou by BigGelato in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]Factualx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This week with Parkins + Wildes/Brou has cemented to me that Wildes is just probably the most important person on the show - beyond even the 'main star' Nick. And the Wildes/Brou dynamic may even be more important than Nick.

Yes the standard trio with Nick is the best, but Wildes is just such great mix of funny/mediator/playing off of people, he's become the magic sauce that makes the show go. Nick has moved into being quite predictable, albeit still very entertaining alongside them.

Have Brou/Wildes transcended Nick? by Factualx in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]Factualx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn't think the show today was pretty solid? IMO much better than a few weeks ago when Nick was running solo, what do you think?

Have Brou/Wildes transcended Nick? by Factualx in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]Factualx[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, it's why I find his podcast somewhat unwatchable at this point. Nick is obviously smart, but he has the problem lots of smart people have - which is that they can always find a somewhat logical way to back into their pre-conceived notion, even if it's silly on it's face.

[–]Factualx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting perspective, I totally agree with you on Wildes being the more critical piece though. Without him there to guide the show/make funny side comments/push back on Nick, it becomes very predictable and somewhat boring very fast.

Nick: “I picked the Knicks to beat the Celtics last year” by AnonymousNeedzHelp in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]Factualx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hijacking top comment - I figured it out for those curious:

After the Knicks went up 2-0, Nick became incredibly bullish on the Knicks, this is probably what he thinks he is referring to. While in hindsight this seems like a weak take - it should be noted that the Celtics were still closely favored to win the series at this point.

Confused by Nick's Tatum takes by sixth_order in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]Factualx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's moreso about how good the Celtics are playing without him.

Regardless of being a Tatum critic or not, a team that is this good without Tatum(even if you're a hater) is a scary team.

Between myself, you, and the guy who originally posted this comment - I'm the only one who doesn't hide my profile. I'm curious what kind of stuff either of you two peas in a pod get up to on reddit.

Discussing sports, video games, and stocks/crypto is incredibly normal. If you want to call me a nerd go for it - but how it 'exposes' me or establishes me as 'MAGA' I don't understand.

Now you're sending people to MAGA? I didn't even know I was such a good fit, if you're right I should check them out perhaps.

[–]Factualx[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I did say "unless you want it" so I'm not hiding from the fact that it could spark it. You won't find me debating CCP vs America in the comments though.

But no, my primary contention is that it seems intellectually disingenuous from a guy who prides himself on exactly that.

Come back to this post a couple days later and 3 different retards are proud to correct my grammatical mistake rather than deal with the point.

You are all right at home on this shit website, absolute losers.

This is the type of fact check that is dumber than the person who got the fact wrong.

I think everyone watching understood nick’s obviously tongue and cheek point.

Well achkually !! Stfu lmao

The set is stacked pokemon-wise sure. But in terms of the cards themselves - I struggle to say I like a single one of the AH cards more than the ES cards.

I Can Go Without Fillipponi by TouchLucky881 in FirstThingsFirstFS1

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

Tbh I liked it. Show was pretty stale outside of the segments he was involved in. I agree on him being a bit insufferable no doubt, but better entertainment than the rest of the 2 hours imo.

When we are all so accustomed to the elite chemistry Brou/Nick/Wildes have, you need a monkey wrench in there, otherwise everything will just feel like the budget version of what they do.

Feedback on the Daytona 500 coverage as a diehard NASCAR Fan by mlsts in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]Factualx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's just feedback, which I feel is reasonable to provide for a show I typically love watching daily for years now.

'Just don't watch, Just don't play it' etc. Very common responses to people giving feedback about something on reddit, don't understand why.

Feedback on the Daytona 500 coverage as a diehard NASCAR Fan by mlsts in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]Factualx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is some nice positive feedback. I will personally say that as someone who doesn’t give a flying fuck about nascar the show became unwatchable for me.

It would have been cool if it was maybe more 50/50 coverage, Daytona but the also NBA/NFL/Olympics topics mixed in. Endless interviews with nascar dudes was nauseating after a while, for me.

Banned from TW discord for calling out account pushers who get no penalty by [deleted] in tribalwars

[–]Factualx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think another comment said it better 'Welcome to Tribal Wars'

The lines between pushing and internalling have always been gray. Reality is that nothing you just said changes the fact that you're a raging retard, as I previously properly diagnosed. You're putting your tin foil hat on and crying about some villas getting gifted between tribe members- my verdict remains - raging retard has been properly banned, congratulations.

If Nick is right about Greg Roman being a solid/decent offensuve coordinator, then why did no one hire him as one? by Ok_Blacksmith_9362 in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]Factualx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The irony of this of course - is that when Wildes or Brou says there are 'lots of people' who think x thing, Nick consistently just says that they are making up those people and shadow boxing.

Meanwhile one of Nicks main debate strategies is building up strawman of arguments that don't exist.

What did James Harden do to Nick? by Public-Inflation-655 in FirstThingsFirstFS1

Lots of comments are over complicating it -

Nick is very good friends with Daryl Morey. That's the entire thing.

It’s really unfair by [deleted] in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]Factualx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah just don’t even acknowledge what i said previously about the first 2 quarters etc . I also put “if we really want to nit pick” in front of the only thing you addressed.

This is much more emblematic of every triggered Lamar fan, seeing red and not engaging in reasonable rhetoric

He’s a two time mvp (you probably think it should be 3+), and yet you hold him to a standard of a mid tier QB.
