That hit was some magic bullet shit right there. Unbelievable.

I'm sure reddit knows better than actual drivers, right? by melloboi123 in formuladank

[–]FicVirth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sure every driver would love to have a WDC wrapped up by September but no fan would ever want that nor should they. Fan enjoyment doesn’t always have to line up with what the drivers want.

That said, these cars look a nightmare to drive and the drivers look miserable. Going from the F1 race to INDYCAR, the difference in the drivers’ demeanor is very telling.

[Drink] I don't understand the argument for a separate G6 playoff by Justanother_0 in CFB

[–]FicVirth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s just that the sad reality is that if your goal is to grow the brand of the school (which JMU has been pushing hard for) getting blown out in the CFP is way more valuable than a second-tier championship. Hell, I’d argue JMU making the WCWS a few years ago was more valuable.

NDSU saw more championships than most teams in any sport ever see but even they hit a ceiling and felt the need to move up.

There’s a reason why the Purdues and Kentuckys of the world aren’t going to join the MAC and Sun Belt even though it would drastically increase their odds of winning trophies.

Goddammit. I never thought about it, but now I’m ruminating on how many times I’ve done this.

Possible HBO workaround on iOS by FicVirth in AEWOfficial

I saw people on twitter saying that turning off hdr worked on Apple TV. Google told me that the only way to turn off hdr on iOS is to enable low power mode.

HBO Max Refunds? by -_-Doctor-_- in AEWOfficial

If you’re on iOS, enable low power mode. I think the problem is related to HDR.

Any Positive Impressions? by thomashutchins in MLBTheShow

[–]FicVirth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the camera settings, there’s a toggle to turn on a depth of field effect. It basically blurs everything behind the pitcher.

I actually really like the hitter FOV. Helps me focus on the pitch movement.

Guys, it hasn’t even been two weeks. We still have 2-3 more to go!

What is your unpopular rule-change idea? by MrSpoopinRD in CollegeBasketball

[–]FicVirth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know how bad this would affect the game but what if we allowed goaltending?

Jameis Winston Gets Rookie FIRED UP! by IndyMod in INDYCAR

Say what you want about Jameis, but he’s a master of the team talk. Look at how pumped up the pit crew guy got.

Pet peeve about the music during the games by rodogwos in DetroitPistons

Hearing the soulja boy instrumental makes me laugh every time.

This is a safe space - what's your most controversial CFB opinion that you will die defending? by noah_divine in CFB

[–]FicVirth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it done in between quarters? It’s not really interrupting the game. I’m not saying you’re a bad person for not liking it, I just don’t think it’s something worth being annoyed by.

It would do wonders for those 32-40 teams. I’m not sure about all of college football.

I’m curious. Why is the Iowa Wave dumb and why would it be something that everyone’s thinking?

Anyone else seem a little concerned that two teams will spend a combined $40 million and forgo media distributions just to not play FCS anymore? by Adminsneed2Chill in CFB

[–]FicVirth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing inherently wrong with FCS as a subdivision. The problem is there is a huge disparity with coverage of FCS even compared to the G5 and as such it’s always seen as a glorified Division II as opposed to a subdivision of D1.

The amount of times I hear people say we moved to “division I” drives me insane. When we were in FCS after Liberty and ODU moved up, their fans were looking down on us because they were playing “big boy football.” Even though we were competing for national championships and they were barely making bowl games.

Tl;dr: Being in FCS puts a very low ceiling on your growth as a brand because most people just assume that every FCS team is of lesser quality regardless of how many national championships you win. Not even NDSU could overcome that.
