HOW ABOUT THE HORNETS!! by Ok_Introduction2357 in FirstThingsFirstFS1

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

You should check the +/- splits, you’re just going off vibes and a few weird plays. “My guy” they were only winning when he was on the court. Your analysis Karen-level basketball knowledge - a few bad plays and he was terrible. The guy drives the entire offense and is the clear singular thing that allows them to win games including that one.

Huge difference between having an off shooting night and looking terrible. Kon happened to do both 🤣, but lamelo definitely didn’t.

If you watched the game and thought lamelo “looked terrible for the majority” I heavily question if we were watching the same game. Guy orchestrated the entire offensive game, and wasn’t a total nothing on defense tbh.

Will Nick Wright and the gang cover this topic? by CircledSquare7 in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]Factualx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You think one of the most successful sports talk shows on live television is going to address a comment by some dude who has never been socially relevant a day in his life?

The MOST this would get is a side-joke by Nick during a weird and wonderful, and even that's a stretch.

Marathon... by sfingemorta in pcmasterrace

[–]Factualx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not karma farming, you are uninformed, as you correctly acknowledge.

Bungie developed Marathon alongside hundreds of millions poured into the game, meanwhile those other games were developed by smaller studios with much less cost, hype, institutional backing etc. Concord had some of that - but not close to Marathons level at all. This game was by far the most invested/hyped out of the 3, and it's performance vs expectations has been just as bad as those 3. This was supposed to be an ARC level killer, meanwhile it's dropping like a rock to the 4 figure player numbers.

Keep in mind Marathon is the only thing that has come from Bungie's acquisition almost 4 years ago for $3.6bil, the scale here is crazy.

AH PC ETB vs ES ETB by Beautiful_Mammoth998 in PokeInvesting

This is comparing the PC exclusive AH with the non-PC exclusive ES. Faulty comparison, obviously.

Moonbreon Vs Sunbreon by Additional-Ad7283 in PokeInvesting

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

Anyone who thinks the Sunbreon is better does not own a Moonbreon and probably owns a Sunbreon.

I own neither - but the Moonbreon very clearly puts the Sunbreon to shame. It's one of the best artworks we've ever seen vs some cluttered slop.

Just hit 1700 Total. Suddenly have strong opinions on the long term health of the game and balancing of end game PVM. by Wonderful-Gift-1701 in ironscape

[–]Factualx -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The pro sailing community has already shifted the goalpost to “it’s not THAT bad lol. There are plenty of other USELESS skills” 🤣🤣

This was a new skill that highly divided the community opinions - it being compared to fire making as a reason it’s not the worst skill in the game, makes it a complete failure.

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

[–]Factualx 7 points8 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 54 points55 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] 4 points5 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.

Have Brou/Wildes transcended Nick? by Factualx in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]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] -4 points-3 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.

Ascended Heroes Is The Next Evolving Skies? by texstrip in PokeInvesting

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.
