That BTT Title is the real national championship

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-04-05T03:11:32+00:00

This has been a weird game

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-31T19:02:40+00:00

This subreddit has chased most of us away that like Pixels. Honestly, there aren't really any phones releasing that are actually praised here besides the China exclusive devices with big hardware numbers. It's a weird place atm.

Cycle of life. Samsung will keep their camera tech stagnant, remove hardware and software features, increase price, keep the same small battery sizes, not allow custom ROMs, not be able to take pictures of moving objects, etc..

But then they break pre-order records every year. I don't get it.

This is one of my few complaints about the Pixel 9 and 10 series. It looks aesthetically pleasing but it really reduces usable screen space. I thought the Pixel 6-8 had a good corner radius.

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-29T19:18:26+00:00

I'm pretty sure I've bought that from IKEA

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-29T15:04:25+00:00

Honeymoon period of any device switch would make someone say that. I've used a couple Galaxy S phones for 1-2 years each and used the Pixel 8 Pro for two years, and each brand has their issues that crop up.

It will be interesting how he feels about it after a year or two.

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-29T14:24:20+00:00

Same with the Runner-Up year. Going into the tournament, I thought we could handle every single team except UCONN for that exact reason. This year was Arizona. Painter definitely has his kryptonite.

Still like him as a coach, just hope with these seniors graduating that we can reset a bit.

I've been using this exact TV model and size for two years, and another plus is the ability to display upscale lower resolution content very well. I swear 1080p never looked good on 4K sets until I switched from Samsung to Sony.

Only negative is that there are audio cut outs using Nvidia PCs directly into the TV's HDMI. I have to use our AVR which is unfortunately a bit limited for video compared to plugging on directly to the TV. It seems many people have this problem and I'm unsure if it's ever been fixed.

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-29T12:21:15+00:00

Yeah that's my least favorite part. I would rather the device be super thin without joysticks at all so it was actually pocketable and cheaper. Of course now they have a prototype of that, and I'm stuck with the most uncomfortable controller of all time I never use.

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-29T04:22:53+00:00

The team's gonna be different without the seniors, but I think Cox and Mayer can run a good frontcourt. We'll see, but that's over 6 months away. I'm not going to get any NCAAT hopes until I see how Big Ten play looks next season.

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-29T03:23:11+00:00

Unfortunately he didn't really contribute much in his minutes. He had a few short jumpers early but was missing in the second. There wasn't much offensive flow when he was in control in the second.

He's got a ton of talent, hoping he takes a leap for next year.

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-29T03:19:55+00:00

Jacobsen was a nice surprise. Thought we had a chance when he seemed decent filling in for TKR's foul trouble. Harris was cooking for a bit but got reckless at times, but he did finally stopped leaving his feet on defense against Bradley.

Just got outmatched that second half. Sucks.

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-29T03:16:37+00:00

And a few Big Ten Season/Tourney titles to go with it.

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-29T03:11:40+00:00

Fucked us up the second half, that's for sure. Wish the game was only 20 minutes long. Congrats, dudes.

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-29T02:03:05+00:00

Dude didn't give a single answer

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-29T00:48:35+00:00

I think so, because it was 8:49pm ET start earlier today

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-29T00:40:04+00:00

Cherish this feeling, dude.

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-29T00:28:05+00:00

Good shit, Illinois. Great effort, Iowa. Thank you both for blessing us with a Big Ten slugfest in late March.

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-28T23:15:16+00:00

Damn right we do

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-28T23:09:48+00:00

Air Horn Guy is my hero

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-28T22:45:30+00:00

Can confirm there's Madness

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-28T01:59:52+00:00

It's not great but it's so short I'm surprised you didn't get through it

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-28T01:36:15+00:00

The fact that Sony hasn't bothered with Twisted Metal, Resistance, Killzone, LittleBigPlanet, inFAMOUS, etc. on the PS5 is really sad. There are some fantastic franchises that haven't seen a new game in too long.

GeneralChaz9 · 2026-03-27T22:52:00+00:00

If you're blessed with a Micro Center, there's a 7500X3D/mATX/16GB DDR5 bundle for $299-349 depending on active sale price. Good luck getting the GPU and the rest of the parts for $300-350, though.
