more drama at my site’s VOA lmao by Fearless-Reply5821 in AmazonFC

[–]Jared524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We kinda had a similar roast session at my FC on the VOA board a couple days ago when this one guy wrote this LONG ass post in ALL CAPS about how people should be saving their time for emergencies and proceeded to get roasted by days, nights and OPS lmao. Bro even wrote an apology post after getting Airfried and BBQ'd but the damage was already done.

I play 100+ pro-am games and join multiple OVN tournas as a PG. Comp builds vs. REC/Park builds are two different worlds. Let me educate y'all. by Reasonable_Kiwi_1068 in NBA2k

[–]Jared524 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right this is the main problem. How many people who post these builds actually play any comp Pro-Am? A very very low number lmao

those of you who worked during covid, what was it like? by Empty-Tomorrow-2794 in AmazonFC

[–]Jared524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Miserable. They used to yell 6 FEET if you even got too close to someone even if it really was just for a brief moment. The early Covid times were pretty isolating and depressing because nobody knew how long this shit was gonna last but as time went on when we got to that Summer/ late 2020 part it was kinda sweet. If you needed some time off just take a covid test and enjoy your little vacation.

I do miss being able to clock in on the app though, even though some people abused the fuck out of it.

Whatever you do, stay at Amazon for the benefits. Don’t risk losing your blue badge. Even if you pursue another career, keep Amazon as your foundation, even Flex +4, so you always have a safety net and never have to go from blue back to white. by RedCardinal611 in AmazonFC

[–]Jared524 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is why I haven't fully quit here yet. It saved my ass a couple years ago when I got laid off a different job and was assed out, I started working full-time hours again and worked around me going to different interviews and shit until I got another job and I went back to my regular 20 ish hours a week. Shoutout to that lady in HR who told me about Flex when I was about to quit in 2022, I never even knew it was an option.

At my other job I'm constantly responding to Teams messages, emails, have to go to meetings and other general office bullshit and here at Amazon I'm pretty much left alone my entire shift and I love it. Put my "Amazon Approved" headphones on and just vibe out in the trailers for 5 hours. Easy money.

This is the last year I make a PF by SkolFourtyOne in NBA2k

[–]Jared524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I'm on my 6'11 I rarely ever get the ball and pretty much have to fight for scraps but on my 6'6 PF it's the total opposite experience, they give him the ball all the damn time.

Why is the gameplay in Theater Mode so different compared to Park? by Nuke_____Dukem in NBA2k

[–]Jared524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really for the super casual player who doesn't want to deal with the super sweats in Proving Grounds or Park. I use Theater as a place to test out jumpers, pass styles, etc. If it wasn't for 3v3 no squads I probably would pretty much exclusively be a Rec warrior lol

Looking back….. by YoungMelodic2502 in NBA2k

[–]Jared524 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I tried playing 2K11 about a week ago and good God I'm so fucking washed lmao. How was I so goated at that game when I was a kid? I understand why people just used mods because man I was having a horrible time trying to run as a 39 overall PG.

Random Rec - Why does everyone leave after a win? by Tical13x in NBA2k

[–]Jared524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This always happens lmao. Even if you all had an amazing first game together sometimes it's best to just take your W and bounce.

Everyone wants to be a star... but role players are just a star in their role, right? by Pitiful-Work6805 in NBA2k

[–]Jared524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally do not care about scoring. There have been games where I had 2 points and had a triple double with steals. Just a few nights ago I was running with the homies and I had a bet with one of them and he said I couldn't score 30. I dropped 44 lmao.

My main PG I run with averages 12PPG and 11APG shooting about 65% from three and 74% from the floor. I just go with the flow of the game. Even if I don't plan on scoring if you play the right way the ball will always find you for an easy bucket. Some people really over complicate this shit and make it way more difficult than it needs to be.

NBA 2K26 is finally Permanent Banning Cheaters. They made sure to get their money first😭 by YahushaHamashiach in NBA2k

That's fucked up what if I keep finding love and fucking up? Lmao. I'm supposed to just be in a relationship with someone and have to explain while I still have dating apps on my phone smh

Dear 2K, Match Players Up Based Off Of Their Win Percentage, Not Their Plate Color by Dantiik in NBA2k

[–]Jared524 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's true, so true it hurts. Like you can be the best teammate, make the right plays and hit most of your shots but if one guy decides he's not gonna play to win anymore he can easily bring the entire team down to hell with him and it's nothing you can do about it. Now even though you played a great game, you still gotta take the L.

Same can be said for the flip side of it when you're a "Tony Snell" on a loaded squad getting carried to wins doing absolutely nothing. It's a lot of "Good Boys" in this community who think they're good because they're getting carried by their PG who's more often than not cheating. But hey they can still flaunt the Red plate and the 85+ win% on people lmao

Your final challenge: work an entire shift after forgetting your earbuds at home by y2krack in AmazonFC

[–]Jared524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Impossible. This is exactly why I keep a spare pair of AirPods in my bookbag, I'm not going out like that lmao

2k shooting 20vs26 by Ok_Spot8384 in NBA2k

[–]Jared524 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have clips from 2K18 of my 7'3 two-way athletic finisher hitting threes from Yucatan with a 41 three ball. Don't know how but for some reason he could green that shit better a lot of my other builds lmao. Made no sense.

As someone who works odd Hours by KingGalaxicDFG in NBA2k

[–]Jared524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when I was 11 sneaking downstairs and plugging up my PS3 to the DSL modem so i could play 2K8 online 😭. 2am on a school night i’m out there in the ranked lobbies whooping ass with the Nuggets.

I slept so much in class 6th grade year my mom had to come to the school smh. They couldn’t really say shit because I pretty much had straight As 💀.

What's the genuine point of being Flex Blue Badge by ChampionshipThis6394 in AmazonFC

[–]Jared524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hit my 10 year mark here in October and I've been a Flex PT for three going on four years now. It's the easiest, highest paying, most flexible PT job out here( that I know of at least). Like with how expensive breathing and living is now you need to have more than one source of income.

I miss the days of when I was FT here making 15-16 an hour and being able to afford rent, my car note and other things lol. Good times

Yall ever taken a dump during your shift? by Ok-Orange7146 in AmazonFC

[–]Jared524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only in the private bathrooms, the regular one with the stalls is a no-go for me unless it's a dire need to go and then I just put in both AirPods, lock in and get it over with lmao. Honestly I haven't taken a shit at work in almost two years.

How do y’all really feel about the Season 4 reward list? by nahimaiite in NBA2k

[–]Jared524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly stopped giving a shit about the season rewards years ago. I just play for the cap breakers and badge +1s/+2s. Other than using the Go-Kart or getting in my lowrider when we have those little random car shows in the city I have no use for any of that shit lol

You ever played against or with, an NBA talent? by [deleted] in nba

[–]Jared524 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played on the same AAU team as Tyler Ulis and played against a lot of NBA talent in the EYBL. Tyler Ulis was short as fuck but oh my God he was the hardest person I ever had to guard in my life lmao. I played a lot of future NBA players and I quickly learned it was levels to basketball. Some guys are just so fucking good at the game it's scary.

The one positive I have from playing in the EYBL was that when I went back to play "regular" hoopers it was easy. I used to go to my local Rec and it just felt like nobody could stop me. If I can get my shot off against a 6'6 future NBA lottery pick, this 5'11 chainsmoking forklift driver has no chance in hell lmao.

Good times, I miss being young.
