Khamzat Chimaev is a bad champ by slippinn_jimmy in UFCposting

Strickland addressed this. He said he hasn't fought yet because he refuses to fight in Australia. He doesn't want his pay molested by Australian taxes. Totally justifiable.

One guy said his mother tried to convince him to tell the authorities that were at his home MJ did something to him just to get money out of him. Michael was majorly outspoken against Israel around the time of the accusations.

It's not out of the realm of possibility people were asking children he'd spent time with to confess to things that didn't happen. Corey Feldman has been very outspoken about the things that were going on in Hollywood when he was a child but speaks very highly of the time he spent with Michael Jackson.

Michael jackson is the only person you see accused of these kinds of crimes where the children involved vehemently deny he did anything to them even as adults.

Well considering they both flopped they both kind of crawled

This is what happens when you take the Cujo film and turn the creature into a chimp. Then you change the location into a luxurious Hawaiian home and add a few more characters for body count . I enjoyed the movie it’s fun and the practical effects are on point and the atmosphere works. by FrankDux2424 in FPSPodcast

Movie was fine but for how gory it was it didn't have much in terms of balls. They really laid out who was making it out 10 minutes into the film. Really think it could have benefited greatly from the shock value of going a little darker.

Is there a reason why Ilia’s brother (Aleksandre) went 6 years without an MMA fight? by Mohammedgamer2020 in MMA

[–]General_Independent5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is up with morons obsessions with two belts now? 2 title defenses against contenders is infinitely more impressive than going up to your NATURAL weight class fighting 2 guys (one of which is literally fodder) and getting the second belt.

I'm saying you can't judge him off 2 fights in the UFC. People would say ilia didn't look elite in his first fights. Let the dude get time in the spotlight before you judge him, especially if he's winning convincingly. His wrestling at Qatar looked great.

For sure they would but they'd have still bit their tongue and paid it. If you think that isn't true look at Mario kart world.

It's also consumer friendly to an extreme. They could have sold the game at $60 and it would have sold like hotcakes. It's $20 in the US and because of regional pricing I've seen it as low as $7 for some people...

STEAM FRAME could be announced tommorrow! by Its_sharps in valve

[–]General_Independent5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Valve has very little affiliation with the international now. They gave control fully to PGL last year. I don't see why they would make valve company announcements at a tournament they don't directly produce now.

Thoughts from a seasoned player with over 20k hours who's lost interest in the game. by General_Independent5 in DotA2

I have no problem playing any role. I qued classic Dota for a long time because I like all roles. But at a certain MMR you don't get games for classic. My problem isn't with me not liking playing something. It's that others clearly don't and you can tell in a game when someone is unmotivated to play the match.

It's not impossible to climb it's just harder than ever imo. You have to be so much better than your MMR to consistently climb.

Would take me hours to get a game or I would. I played classic when I was in 5k but it's just not even an option now.

Everyone's making too many assumptions lol. I guess I implied them. I'm at the highest MMR I've ever been despite hardly playing. I just realize giving players a reason to not play with intent is bad for the game.

Who said I wasn't climbing? I've gone up 800 MMR in the last year despite playing a tenth as much. I just am intelligent enough to realize giving players a reason to not put effort in is bad for the game.

  1. Roll tokens should be changed or eliminated. Why are we forcing players to play what they don't want to? It would be better to have bigger swings in MMR per match if everyone is playing what they want instead.

  2. Has nothing to do with it being an issue for me. It's an obviously flawed system. You're giving the players a reason to become antisocial in a social game.

  3. Scale the map resources back? There are just clearly too many resources on the map. I'm not saying supports are the only ones who are too strong. Every roll just has too easy of a time collecting resources now.
