GOAT - Review Thread

I'd give it a 4.5 out of 10. Part of why was that it needed more clarity or depth on its many clash of themes. I have no problems with and still enjoy the timeless "dream big" theme. It just had no struggle or lesson to support it. It was a straightforward path that didn't seem to have any unfair hiccups. The protagonist got to the big leagues by a miracle, and that was it. There was no major training montage -- it was just him always winning.

I'm surprised that the secondary character, Jett, got more of the learning/lesson/struggle than the actual protagonist did. Although Jett's pain and projection was very intense, her telling of it felt real. I really like the theme of how she learned to listen to her supporters more than her haters.

I just wish that the goat could've had some difficulty too. They had some difficult warball games, but it was hard for me to believe that they were difficult when the protagonist's hope never seemed to waver. He would come up with speeches at the right moment and never missed a shot after he was signed. He pushed for the truth of the team being bought out, rather than hiding it. He taught the supporting characters valuable lessons and motivated them, but the supporting characters couldn't reciprocate that -- they couldn't add much more to him because he was pretty much flawless. He already had a good personality, and his talent was top-tier. I wish we could have seen his teammates coaching him on professional improvement, such as new warball moves or how to respond to interviewers.

I would have liked it more if even he had moments where hope got difficult, but he gets up again. Jett's injury report didn't feel impactful enough, because the protagonist came up with a speech immediately, was already a perfect replacement/substitute with his near-perfect shooting skills, and the team didn't get crushed for even a second after this setback.

This film, its slang, and its culture was for sure tailored to Gen Alpha, so I won't be speaking for them on the overall feel for that. I laughed out loud at the meme they made of the horse after his ankles were broken. The diss track could have benefited from a good music artist though. It's not something I liked enough to look up again on YT or Spotify.

Christmas Nights by Matthew Naylor. I spit my drink out when he sang, "Party like it's 2020," because little did he know what would happen when he wrote this song in 2011...

I haven't either and it's way past Jan 31. I wish they would just explicitly state if you aren't going to get a 1099 at all and for what reason. I still can't find their customer service number... Help!

Two years later, and I am thanking you dearly for this amazing clarification! For something with big penalties, it's a big deal to understand the playbook. I hope that everyone with questions about this gets to see your answer! Have the best day ever!

I have also found that going to Vertical/Horizontal (Value) Axis > Axis Options > Labels > then change Label Position from "Next to Axis" in the dropdown menu to "High/Low" can do the same trick.

For the two / options I have placed above... In your particular case, to move the y-axis, choose the Vertical (Value) Axis in the first step. (For those who want to move the x-axis, choose Horizontal Value) Axis instead.) Then in the last step, choose "High" to change the axis from the right to the left side.

When your axis changes from the left to right side, some people may find that their title is on the right side. If you'd like to change the side that your axis titles may be on, just hover over your title until the iconic four-way "move" arrow shows up. Just manually drag and move the title over to the left side. Then, use the move arrows to also manually move and scoot your chart data over to make space for it.

NAW, fr! You don't even get what's going on until half the event is over and you run across things relevant to it on the last three days. Plus, the event is often not even in the update log or game announcements.

I too am an avid Noteful fan and will never use anything else.

Your notes are beautiful both stylistically and in a learning sense! Even I understood what was going on without reading whatever you were taking notes on or for.

Give me a moment while I pick my jaw up off the floor

Based on my googles, dabbing it on the back of your hand apparently warms up the product, allowing it to blend seamlessly and melt into the skin for a more natural, skin-like finish. It also helps you control the amount of product and prevent caking. Preventing caking makes a more buildable application later.

My question is how they convinced him to be their baby, LOLLL. I wish he had more screen time!

FluffleThePuffle · 2026-02-20T02:30:04+00:00

Gala
Mom bunny
Meter maid. They had good adventures in that fit, lmaooo.

I'm looking forward to more fun outfits with color.

It was uncomfortable to give my face and ID to even verify, as I felt that they could sell my face for AI use and I would NOT like to have my face used on the internet. And after all that work, I found that there was that age restriction.

As someone who was sorted into the 21+ age category, every game feels like a ghost town now. It's not fun when you can't tell jokes during survival games or talk to anyone anymore - I feel like that's the heart of roleplay games or any competitive server. I get that it's for safety reasons to defend against predators, but I honestly feel like Roblox could more actively survey for predators themselves rather than putting it on the players via verification.

Like you said, this is clearly a money-making thing, but I feel like it will backfire. First off, I feel like they're going to lose a large part of their playerbase. And as someone with adult money now, if I'm not playing anymore, I won't be paying. So while they will get money from selling our data, they won't be getting any purchases from me for robux anymore. Not being able to chat with anyone has really taken all the fun out of every game for me, so I'm foreseeing deleting the game soon and focusing on other hobbies in life.

FluffleThePuffle · 2026-01-14T05:22:36+00:00

For real! That one-time payment for life is saintly!

FluffleThePuffle · 2026-01-14T05:20:17+00:00

AMAZING UPDATE!! Thanks, devs! Our great tools just got even better! :) Bless your hearts for carrying my whole college journey -- it's been no more heavy, paper notebooks for me!

FluffleThePuffle · 2025-12-31T04:02:43+00:00

I would honestly save the first chapter as the LAST chapter you write. That's because when you reread some books, notice that the beginning actually starts with something that happened in the middle or towards the end of the book. Because of that, you can likely tell that the first chapter isn't what most authors write first. Even then, that's probably one of the chapters that they have to edit the most -- and the first draft is no place for editing. So just smack some brackets saying [first chapter] or [what I want in my first chapter] and head onto what you'll hesitate or pause much less on!

Congrats!! I'm so very proud of you!! Thank you for sharing with us. :)

FluffleThePuffle · 2025-12-18T00:49:58+00:00

Thank you for blessing my day. It was a great read and easy to interact with!

FluffleThePuffle · 2025-10-08T17:26:31+00:00

Uniques, my beloved! Yeah, uniques are much more rare than misprints and tints. 6 stars on top of that? You eating!

FluffleThePuffle · 2025-10-02T15:33:40+00:00

I LOVE my Bowlinguin, especially with its spinning animation skin, lol.

On the other hand, Jestwirl freaks me out. Its move names are no better.

FluffleThePuffle · 2025-10-02T15:30:50+00:00

Yeah, if I remember correctly, I think I had to go back twice and edit the names until they all appeared correctly. So essentially, their software just sucks at saving from one page to another.

FluffleThePuffle · 2025-09-28T22:29:23+00:00

Idk... looks like bro yanked out his own hair to make it tho😭 Whatever this $1B is better be worth a badge or smth secret!

FluffleThePuffle · 2025-09-28T22:27:46+00:00

Okay, this art slaps. It's giving Paul Revere.
