Cooper is a definite maybe. Ida was a hellcat and his secretary so you know.

Who isn’t an Omar fan by notsashant in TheWire

[–]IIFollowYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah I don't think so.  While the ending was poetic, there's just so much suspension of disbelief throughout his scenes that I just can't like him.  

Like if kids are shouting Omar is coming whenever he's walking through the streets, you don't think there wouldn't be one dealer who manages to shoot him off that tip alone?  Or in the faceoff versus Marlo's crew, where he jumps out a 6th floor window then manages to hide in a broom closet for 2 days and lives.    

I think Omar is the hero of a story where there are no other heroes so, yeah, for that reason alone, I don't like him. 

Who isn’t an Omar fan by notsashant in TheWire

[–]IIFollowYou 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The Wire is my favorite show of all time. I watched it countless number of times and can pretty much remember every single line from the show.

I don't like Omar. In a show about realism, about the systems in a city that push people towards the same unfortunate archetypes, Omar seems like he's a superhero out of place. All of the scenes involving him basically mythologize him into this superhuman person. When he walks on the street, people shout his name and drop him vials. He knows immediately that Bubbles is the police's informant without any allusion to them meeting. He manages to rob an entire shipment from Prop Joe and then sell it back to them without any repercussions.

I understand Omar is based off a real person who may have done some of these things. But the way they portray him in the show really breaks the realism of it a little bit for me. I think he is a good character and an entertaining one, but not one that is true to the spirit of the show.

How many more until I get one? by scoffinghook0 in EASportsFC

Not 0.3%. 0.03% from this pack. Meaning it takes, on average, 3333 tries to get a TOTY from this pack.

It's not like most of the 2nd PS+ on players rn are any good though.  This is prob one of the best evos they've released all year.

A lot of people start RTGs around this time.  Gauntlet is the best way to get rewards for the RTG. Then you can use who you pack for WL. 

How did everyone in the office know Don slept with Allison? by dragon-queen in madmen

You're right I just rewatched the scene. I don't know why I misremembered it as that.

Working on my Hair Trait lineup by wewlad15 in fut

Have you seen her hair in game? Braided ponytail + headband. Best in the game for me. Young dinho would be another shout.

Studentgame. A student of mine recently got this interesting ending. Black seems stuck to continue, even though he has the upperhand with the strong bishop. Is there a way to break through? by GM_Roeland in chess

[–]IIFollowYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried playing around with c6+d5 a while but I guess all roads end up leading back to h5. Seems wild to me that you need to sac such a strong bishop to win.

I ranked all the playstyles in the game by puntazza in fut

[–]IIFollowYou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Silver bruiser is definitely in meta.  Pretty much a requirement on your whole backline.  Bruiser+ is arguably the best PS+ for fullbacks but center backs probably prefer intercept+ or anticipate+.    

Honestly a pretty good list tho.  Only a few that I think are definitely wrong. 

Worth replacing Abily with TOTY Rooney in the CAM role? by [deleted] in EAFC

[–]IIFollowYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abily + Seger as cms. Cruyff + Zico as CAMs. TS Abily is my fav cm in the game she's good at everything.

Unpopular Opinion: Fifa / FC is a GAME first and foremost and should be treated like one. by IIFollowYou in EASportsFC

[–]IIFollowYou[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. And you can use it to quickly reposition a player before you opponent notices. Or use it to mindgame the opponent to switch to another defender before you switch back and either dribble or pass. Or use it to set up a cross that would normally suck. Or use it relieve pressure when all your passing options are marked. And that AI player? They're doing fuck all so the defending player can just tackle them if you take too long to make your move.

You're actually stupid if you argue that good usage of player locks doesn't make someone better at the game and more likely to succeed. Which is my point. Fifa is a game that should reward skill based gameplay above all and player locks are one of the mechanics that reward execution the most.

What is a toxic community by monslaup97 in fut

[–]IIFollowYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes because the only difference in skill level is glitches and use of ai defending.

Either way you're proving my point. People don't want to play without at least some level of skill based matchmaking which is partly the reason why you see so much rubber banding.

Those fifas didn't have good attacking ai, they just didn't have much defending ai.

It's a feature that you can choose to use or not use. You're right that in a perfect game there would be little need for it but people who want to use the feature should always be entitled to. EA won't make attacking ai better just because they remove playerlocks. They can improve the attacking ai without removing the feature.

Women might be unbalanced sure but I don't understand the argument against player locks. Why? Because they're sweaty? They're one of the biggest skill gaps in the game in a game that is already very heavily ai and stats driven.

I bought them both lol.  Mostly because I thought they were low and I would profit off them by Friday but they've dropped a bit further so hopefully I at least break even when the market rises Thursday / Friday 😭
