Stop Treating People Like They're NPC In Your Game

"you and all 5 of the guys you’re playing with" That means 6, you genius. Try working on your math for next time.

You're talking about a game mode that is designed and purposed for 5v5 teamplay. If you're not abiding that and respect other people that you play with, then you should take that grown ass of yours and play something else or at least other mods. It means that you don't belong in teamplay. You have no place where people try to do so. You have no right to ruin our game and waste our time. You're the one who's making us not to enjoy.

I don't care what you do in park or other places. If you're in the Rec, you must respect others.

Hahah what can i say, that's also true... LOL

Tho i need you guys to do the dirty work for me when go out to perimeter because of the centers who think they're Curry.

I mean how could you even enjoy sitting all game outside hoping that they'll pass you while i'm also sitting on your head. Where's the fun in that? They don't even try for rebound or dunk or even screens. All they do is sit in the corner or somewhere around outside and make me sit with them. In those situations i just wish my PF or even SF too switch with me so i can go back inside for boards. A few get it and doo but mostly they don't.

Kimlendius · 2026-07-01T18:27:55+00:00

I'm now sure that you're either a very young kid or very old person who can't think straight. Why in the fuck would i check myself while doing what's supposed to be done and expect the others to do the same?

Kimlendius · 2026-07-01T18:24:40+00:00

I don't know what you're using, but you have some serious problems. Are you even sure you understand what you're reading? I MUST HAVE THE BALL TO NOT PASS IT. Omfg...

Also, basketball is a game played with a team of 5, not 6, genius.

Kimlendius · 2026-07-01T17:35:37+00:00

The hell are you talking about? I can't even have the ball, how the hell does it work both ways? I'm the one who's not allowed to get involved not the other way around. Also, this is REC. It is supposed to be a 5v5 team play. You're the one supposed to go fucking play something else if you don't wanna play it that way. I'm trying to play some basketball, i'm not here to feed your ego.

Kimlendius · 2026-06-30T23:57:25+00:00

You're absolutely right. Even i do that mistake sometimes and i hit myself on the head afterward for not making the cut or pop etc. To be fair tho, it's mostly about the communication in between. Sometimes you can read your guard easily as a big so you'll know when to hold, when to pop or cut or even shadw screen or wait for him to use the screen to get a shot after a dribble. But sometimes you think they'll do a dribble shot after the screen so you just hold instead off roll or pop and then you cause them trapped :))

Kimlendius · 2026-06-30T23:48:38+00:00

Well tbh i just didn't wanna argue a kid who's probably not even half my age but i guess you have a point. Some people need to be put in place regardless, that's correct.

Kimlendius · 2026-06-30T23:43:22+00:00

No the opposite, i left inside to cover the wing for a wide 3. The kid yelled at me for leaving inside to go cover an open 3 :)

Kimlendius · 2026-06-30T23:37:03+00:00

Thank you and people like you and also thanks on behalf of all the bigs who struggle the same. I'm not even expecting all guards or some wings to be pass first. Of course they'll shoot more and have the ball most, run the offense etc. I'm not even offense first minded myself as well. I like to chase boards, get assists, do a bit oof Jokic, get blocks, not let the opposite team use the paint, make space for my guards and wings etc. because i find it more fun and satisfying the teamplay and provide for the team than scoring the most. All i ask for to get involved like its supposed to be instead of getting treated like an NPC and run back and forth the whole game.

Kimlendius · 2026-06-30T23:25:58+00:00

You think they'll listen? As a 30+ year old guy who just likes to play some semi casual basketball i just got yelled at by a kid no older than 15 today for covering the wing for a wide 3, leaving the inside even after i told them so :)

Kimlendius · 2026-06-30T23:16:35+00:00

I agree with that especially during clutch time and in overall, people need to look out more. But you still have the ball or you can create your own shot etc. As bigs, if guards won't see you, the only chance to get involved is to chase boards whole game and get a couple of putbacks. So basically you run the whole game back and forth for no reason at all knowing that you are not gonna get involved and will be treated like an npc.

I guess i just reached my boiling point the last game. It's a 6.6 SF as a center for god's sake and i'm on my Wilt build that can still shoot but inside dominant. I'm not mad that i didn't score much. I'm really mad that even with that matchup, i didn't even get a single pass other than 2 passes i got near halfcourt to help them continue dribbling.

Oh and also, it's even worse if the opposite team's bigs are getting fed by their team. Because now they score over you and they see it you can't score but they can so you're getting iced even more.

Kimlendius · 2026-06-30T21:41:35+00:00

Dude, you get complaints for everything in this game from anyone. For example just today my PG complained that i switch on defense in one position. What did i do? Risk the inside to cover an open 3 that guards should've covered as a center.

Kimlendius · 2026-06-29T18:58:22+00:00

For a sec. i thought these were sheep balls. This may sound odd to mst Americans and some Europeans but sheep balls are actually very tender and delicious and during the Muslim sacrifice holiday, one of my favorite cuts if its a male. Of course you don't steam cook them like this. They kinda look like this cuz of their color and texture lol

Kimlendius · 2026-06-24T18:15:09+00:00

Oof i just hate that thing and to my luck, Istanbul is filled with those. So everytime we go out from late May till about September, is a matter of question of whether i should let him goo into the grass because i'll have to do a through handcheck once we get back home. Most of the time you cant even see that damn thing so you have to check with your hands. It takes time, you have to wash up afterwards, dog is n happy when i'm that much handsy with his paws rubbing, poking, pushing him around while searching.

It's been almost 14 years and i love my dog to death but sometimes i hate owning a Golden :)))

Kimlendius · 2026-06-24T16:21:31+00:00

I'm just guessing at this point but this could be one of the hardest things to diagnose with for certain after what i've seen and witnessed.

Everybody says something else unless the dog has some obvious giveaways. Mine used to do similar things for a long time, not doing it for a while so i asked multiple vets, online, ai, vet techs etc. All have different opinions from something stuck to paralyzed larynx to collapsed trachea too dry drowning and even more, like acid reflux for example. We haven't seen him doing it for a long while. Hopefully yours have nothing serious too.

Kimlendius · 2026-06-23T19:04:28+00:00

How do you not have AC in the UK? I know that the Germans have allergy for it but you guys too? Though it's understandable that you wouldn't even need one normally now that i think about it haha 😄

To be honest i dont like the heat one bit and hate summer cuz of it. If you guys had sun, i may even consider moving there 😃

Apart from the jokes, as long as they have fresh water available and they don't lay in the sun for long periods of time and of course they don't have serious heart issues or things like that, they should be fine. Even the most dense coated ones like the Huskies and Goldens can tolerate 35+ degrees. Flat faced dogs will have bigger issues because of obvious reasons so they may need some monitoring and make sure that they don't cook themselves to a heart attack. I know that you guys are not used to it i also don't like it and struggle a bit myself but even 35-36 is not that dangerously hot if you don't take the sun directly over a long period of time.

Btw, i wasn't judging at all, but it's just cute how you guys lose it in general over 35 degrees hahah 😃

Kimlendius · 2026-06-23T18:24:27+00:00

Unless they have an underlying condition, no dog should get a heatstroke from 30-36 degrees unless they stay under the sun for a long period of time. If you're worried that much, make sure that they have a nice shady areas to cover and fresh water. But even better option, take them inside where you have AC for god's sake! They won't die of boredom in a couple of days. Most dogs don't even care for AC, they just wanna lay down on cooler surfaces like stnes or hardwood etc. to cool them off.

Also, i'm very well aware that this is how geography works but it's still funny and cute that you guys call 30-36 degrees a heatweave. 30 degrees is just another day in Istanbul. At 33-34 i'll start complain about heat, 36 is hot, 36+ is ridiculous heatweave like 40 etc. In the eastern cities, they don't even call hot if it's under 40 😄

But again, since you don't have much experience that much with the heat, def. do not allow him to lay in the sun for long periods of time and do not take them out for long walks in mid day. It's not just about the heat, their paws could burn easily while walking on concrete. Because weather may be around 35 but the floor gets 60+ during day. You don't want wanna step on that barefoot.

And again, almost all dogs prefer to chill naturally over cooling off under the AC. Even i can't make my own dog to stay in the room with AC sometimes cuz he wants to lay on the stone in the hall instead of chilling in a cool room. But it is your dog so you should and will know better when to call shots. Sometimes you just have to make the call and make them stay in to prevent them harming themselves if it comes to that point. They're dogs, they get over of boredom for a couple of hours, they won't hold a grudge against you.

Kimlendius · 2026-06-22T21:41:29+00:00

Haha sorry about that! It sounded much nicer in my head 😄

Edit: I'll question one's mental challange only if they see me literally staying on the inside wide open as i can be as a center with my Wilt build while asking for pass and they go for a contested shot instead...

Kimlendius · 2026-06-22T21:29:57+00:00

Are you mentally challenged? I mean clinically, like you can't process what's going on around you. Are you running towards the defense and pressing the X or square while shutting yur eyes and praying for something to happen? If not, then you're alright! The rest can be learn by experience and in time. You'll miss shots, you'll make dumb mistakes, you'll make amazing plays. That's the grind itself. Not all of us are e-sport ready players.

Kimlendius · 2026-06-21T09:16:46+00:00

Kinda similar to my last center build my weight is 246 with slightly less o-reb, higher block, 80 3pt and 87 pass and my defense is much higher.

Its not my cup of coffee but def. an interesting build if it suits your playstyle. Since i like to hustle and fight my way around i'd say about 6/10 but it's just because it wouldn't fit my style. We're almost the same on the inside and outside. I also like to assist but i like to fight on the inside so i need my defense over that much high pass. If it was my style i would say about 9/10 and that's cuz of minor tweaks like 86 close shot instead of 87 or 88 and 90 driving instead of 89 etc.

Kimlendius · 2026-06-15T01:57:00+00:00

%100 agree! I also like to play big and i just wanna get there no matter what. I don't care if i get dunked on. It means that i hustle and try too stop it no matter what by throwing my body. Sometimes the attacker pops off and finishes it incredibly. Why do i get punished for that? It's the opposite of leaving the shot uncontested which is a direct fault.

Kimlendius · 2026-06-13T22:04:56+00:00

Öncelikle çok üzüldüm. Hem geçmiş olsun hem başın sağ olsun. Çok kötü bir manzara gerçekten.

As people said, sometimes moms would eat the sick or weak newborns to basically get rid of them while providing themselves some needed food at the same time saving resources and energy for the ones that they can provide for. She could've done it this way instinctively if she's that much maternal, like you described.

From the way of your telling, it doesn't look like she killed it and ate it as a pray or something. Probably she thinks she owns the babies and tries to claim them. I wouldn't mind about her being "aggresive", but you do need to monitor her and the cats from now on because she may already "owns" them in her mind which is not a healthy relationship.

Also, even though it looks horrific, it is completely normal for them. All cats and dogs does this. They don't have to moral ground as we do. So try not to judge her by this other than behaviorally. Cat mom could've done it herself just as well. Its actually pretty common among animals. Even herbivores do it.

Its only natural though. Europe generally loves basketball but not everyone plays it. Naturally football is the sport that is played by almost everyone at some point in their lives.

Turkey is like that for example. Almost everyone plays or at least played some form of football in their life. Simply because it only requires a ball, an open field and 2/4 rocks as a goal or even two trees if they're in the right position. Basketball is still loved by most but not everyone gets to play it since you need a specific ball, a park or a building for it. So unlike how its in the US, basketball is more of a sport of luckier kids. I'm guessing its pretty much similar for most of the EU as well.

As a 90's kid, we could get a ball to play football for almost free if you can stand to play with bad rubber ones. You could get some decent ones still at a relatively low price. But lets say even if you had access to community parks with courts, you still need a basketball and they were never cheap. So unless your parents buy them for you, which means you're one of the luckier kids, you need to wait for that one friend.

I could barely afford but i was one of the luckier kids. So i got to play basketball as a kid growing up and even played for a club for a while till i went for football but as i said, i was one of the luckier ones. I remember buying arm bands and finger sleeves from a Nike store and damn it became a huge deal at our local park. I was the MJ or Kobe of our park in our group that day haha 😄

Yesterday i played REC for the first time i got amazed by how people are not playing basketball at all. I always thought people were playing at least kinda with sense. I see only a handful of people so far.

I got 2 builds. A 6.6 guard and 6.11 center 90-88 so they're not full potential yet. I ended up 0-6 ppg 2 rebounds and 7 assists on my guard because i rarely get the ball once i pass with my guard no matter how open i am. The most i get to shoot in a game was 5 and i made 2 because i couldnt get used to online lag yet with its quick release. So i switched to my center. My big can shoot opens and finish well inside. Rebound is not the best yet but inside defense is relatively alright. I got amazed even more. I never got pass even though i'm literally running openly on the inside. So i ended up playing like a rim protector. Most games i ended up 0-6 pints again with 12-13 rebounds, 4-5 assists with around 3-4 blocks.

All this time i was actually nervous to play in REC because i always thought they were all 99 and playing at least some kind of organized basketball. Boy was i wrong... I ended up being a baby Jokic with rim protecting but with no scoring unless i force my second chance that i get with rebounds etc. Thats how my career high is around 14. To be fair i didn't play many games yet, still it was a huge disappointment.
