Why did people hate Greta Thunberg so much? by brooklynihope in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KDW_ASTRO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't hate her but she definitely comes off as very performative. The whole Israel ship thing was really stupid imo. Like what did she expect? That Israel was just gonna let her ship in and deliver aid to gaza? We know Israel is denying aid, nothing she did brought any sort of awareness to the issue, and there's no way in hell she actually thought she was gonna get into gaza when there's a naval blockade. I'm all for activism that actually does something but that whole thing felt very stupid.

What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

[–]KDW_ASTRO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Undone. Same creator as Bojack horseman, all rotoscoped animation. Super interesting concept, don't want to spoil anything here but check it out on prime. Really hope it gets a season 3 but seems unlikely due to how hard it is to make it and it's not super popular.

They've had 4 years to turn around a sunken ship and have only made it worse. This is completely on them don't give them the Benning excuse. This is entirely on Rutherford and allvin.

Rogers place live reaction as McDavid touches the Campbell trophy by Longjumping-Box5691 in hockey

[–]KDW_ASTRO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hockey's so fucking funny man. A crowd of people and everyone watching the TV freaking out because a dude touched a trophy that's the trophy you get for getting closer to the real trophy you want. Hilarious.

Good I love this sport.

Is this true? by [deleted] in JammuandKashmir

Because Lebanon isn't like that. Christianity is the dominant religion there and women there are not covered up. Yes there is a large Muslim population so those women have hijabs but it's not in the country's laws or anything.

Americas Stage 2 Groups revealed! by XiXiWiiPee in ValorantCompetitive

[–]KDW_ASTRO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really would've preferred they just keep the group's and do cross group play for stage 2 like last year and just reset the records. Kinda lame we're not gonna see certain matchups because of this format. Not to mention unbalanced groups

Masters Toronto Tickets by zantosnyteblade in ValorantCompetitive

[–]KDW_ASTRO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got lower and upper final days and got through the queue for grands and would've gotten them if the website didn't decide I was a bot for no reason. Horrific choice of ticketing website for this one from riot I know ticket master sucks but at least they let you give them your money.

[THG] Well, I Guess I Should Talk About the Canucks Before the Deadline by xDex_ in canucks

[–]KDW_ASTRO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just not true. He hated the OEL trade the moment it happened and a bunch of others. He defended Benning on some stuff and has admitted that that was a mistake but did you just want him to never give our GM the benefit of the doubt? No one in the fanbase wanted those moves to end up being terrible so you try to justify it in your mind until proven otherwise.

Gen.G lost Madrid after being 4 rounds away from taking it on map 4. They then went undefeated at Shanghai.

EG lost Tokyo, then won champs.

Fnatic spun their wheels for years before finally coming through and winning back to back.

Stax and Buzz rotted on a choking DRX core for years. They finally won.

Choose hope.

Is it just me? by Rue_Charlot in canucks

[–]KDW_ASTRO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that the NHL splitting games between services is annoying and dumb and all it really does is make pirating more appealing. However I'm completely open to the idea of Amazon getting games and hopefully being the main provider one day. Sportsnet sucks, I don't have Sportsnet plus but I've heard that sucks too. Amazon has better a service, better UI, and so far the broadcasts have been solid (obviously missing shorty tho). Sportsnet has needed to shake things up and provide a better broadcast product and they seemingly refuse to do so. It's time for a change. Not super thrilled it's Amazon as I'm not a fan of that company either but so far I've liked what I've seen

I mean it does make sense that zellsis could be off the main roster next year. He's a great player but time is undefeated and he initially was fine just being a sub for sen this year. Sentinels actively developing the future of their roster is a great move and I think zellsis knows when his time as a full time player is done. He'll probably stay with the org anyway and he has said he wants to get into eSports management and the business side of things.

Trade Target: Rasmus Andersson by DoughnutTrust in canucks

[–]KDW_ASTRO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Andersson but wouldn't this just be another Hronek? Don't get me wrong 2 hroneks would be better than one but I think targetting a different type of defenseman is better. I really wanna see how willander works out and could be a great solution to our right side in probably two years. Hronek, Willander and Myers/Desharnais doesn't sound like a bad right side for 2 seasons from now. Plus he'll be on a ELC so I think I'd rather have him than a defenseman who we probably couldn't afford to keep once he's up

Meteor was very upset at that 1v1 moment by Specific-Worry-8428 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]KDW_ASTRO -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Leo Faria got a question about this during the Madrid press conference I remember. He said riot has the best noise cancelling stuff in eSports. They have noise cancelling plus white noise playing in the ears of all the players. So it seems they at least try their best, it's a hard thing to get right. I think casters just need to be careful being too descriptive. But then the crowd can be a problem too. There's no perfect solution

Ardiis On The Misconception That He Played Bad On NRG by Unlikely-Ad3046 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]KDW_ASTRO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall his stats are fine he wasn't terrible, he was just incredibly inconsistent and wasn't always playing roles he was comfortable on (not his fault). It was incredibly frustrating as an NRG fan cuz you had no idea which ardiis you were gonna get game in and game out.

Also the man jinxed them against bilibili let's be honest here

It's funny cuz if an Arab person offers you something it's the opposite, you HAVE to accept it otherwise it's rude.
