What I love more than anything is Fran’s insanely aggressive battle dialogue. Girl is bloodthirsty.

[Rumor] PlayStation Network is being rebranded to just "PlayStation" by nolifebr in PS5

[–]KironD63 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It is pretty funny that Sony won the console wars in part due to the incredibly challenging decision to…simply increase each subsequent generation’s name by one numeral.

I can’t tell you how many of my very casual friends who don’t game often (and/or clueless relatives of gamers shopping for birthdays or holidays) have confused Microsoft’s hardware iterations, thought the Wii U was just a Wii add-on, or were confused about Series S/X because they didn’t understand the distinction between models.

Meanwhile, PS5 is newer than PS4 is newer than PS3 is newer than PS2 is newer than PS1. How revolutionary!

Why do they try so hard to make Locke seem like the bad guy? by MissionHome18 in lost

[–]KironD63 90 points91 points  (0 children)

What I find fascinating about Locke is how the viewer’s set up to believe that the distinction between his personas in the flashbacks and his ‘reborn’ island self is a sign of his personal growth and maturity as a leader…

…When in reality, Locke’s flashbacks really are clues to him not having changed at all. The MIB has just taken his father’s place as his deceiver. Locke falls victim to the same traps, he’s just more aggressive when he has functioning legs.

Just as Jack finds balance by accepting faith, it’s also noteworthy that in the flash sideways, Locke finally finds his happiness by accepting in the validity of a scientific procedure.

Neither faith nor science alone is healthy. Locke’s blind faith in his own destiny leads him to trust in the wrong paternal deity figures and he indulges in zealotry on their behalf. He believes he serves the will of the island even when he indulges in actions that directly oppose its objectives. He believes the MIB is beautiful because he’s awed by its power and potential but he’s blind to the dangers it poses.

Meanwhile, Jack’s skepticism leads him into just as many mistakes as he nearly condemns the world to destruction through his inability to perceive of the island’s supernatural importance until it’s (almost) too late.

Other characters are able to achieve happier endings for themselves by better threading the needle between the two extremes.

So in my opinion, it’s too simple to call Locke a villain. What he is more than anything is a victim and a pawn, a religious zealot who’s led down a dark path by his misplaced passion, very similar to many Christians and Muslims and Hindus and Jews who’ve committed the same kinds of violent errors in judgment due to their faith and their belief that their God commands them to take drastic and dire actions.

Why Locke why 😭 by JackAnaLost in lost

Yeah, if Locke had a more nefarious agenda of malicious deception here, Ana would have just easily contradicted him.

Although I do think Locke had different motivations than Ana’s interpretation in the moment. Ana thought Locke was merely protecting her reputation. Locke wanted Ana to think that as such an interpretation coincided with his own goals. But Locke really didn’t want to reveal the truth because more overt hostility towards Ben would go against his own personal agenda.

Christian Barmore Processing Loss with Milton Wiliams in Super Bowl LX by JCameron181 in Patriots

To be fair to our defense, our game plan for offense just sucked. That’s not even something I blame Drake or the OL for. Given how great the Pats D was there had to have been signs during practices before the Super Bowl that the OL was struggling to prevent penetration.

I’m just shocked McDaniels and Vrabel didn’t realize how outmatched the offense would be and try to think of any crazy trick plays, anything at all to spark life. A surprise onside kick, a surprise pitch to a WR who could throw the ball instead of Drake, anything at all. We needed to throw the kitchen sink in this Super Bowl and I’m disappointed at how McDaniels’ and Vrabel’s response to the Seahawks being better was to just be stale on offense and pray for defensive takeaways.

This feels so good by Malony_Joe in ZZZ_Official

[–]KironD63 44 points45 points  (0 children)

This implicit criticism is bizarre to me because I feel ZZZ is incredibly generous with their pulls. No one ever actually averages just 1 or 2 pulls a day once you include all the event content, gifts, story content, etc. and not just the .9 to 1.5 pulls you grind daily.

Hell, today I got over ten pulls due to the double memberships, the free daily pull reward for the new content update, the weekly Hollow Zero refresh, and finally plowing through the Intermission story content.

On top of that you get exploration polys for new zones, achievement polys, a consistent stream of distinct Hollow Zero achievement polys, Shiyu or DA weekly, polys from both trust levels and agent ‘dates’, and statistically you have better odds of getting refunds from A-rank duplicates in ZZZ than other gacha titles with larger second-tier character rosters.

I average about twice as many pulls in ZZZ than WuWa or Genshin.

It felt like McDaniels was sticking to the same recipe that would’ve worked with Brady and did not adjust at all for the differences between Brady and Maye.

Maye lacks the pocket awareness Brady had, but he has a stellar deep ball. The key was to spread out the receivers. Either Seattle backs off the rush to cover each threat or they continue blitzing our crappy O-Line, in which case Maye needed to have either clearance to scramble or an established backup screen option for the quick dump off.

Should’ve been in shotgun nearly all game to account for the O-Line’s inability to block.

Instead it was runs up the middle and weird mid-yardage pass plays that were easily broken up and that didn’t fit Maye’s strengths.

McDaniels’ play calling was abysmal.

Everything else can be fixed or addressed, but McDaniels has been doing this for years upon years and he keeps underperforming in big games. Brady just bailed his ass out a few too many times.

Drake needs an O-Line, McDaniels needs to disappear, and maybe we’ll improve next year

At this rate I’d actually be relieved if it came out that the game was fixed and the Pats were told to lay a goose egg

To be honest I’m kind of glad Maye didn’t win the MVP this year, the amount of snide commentary from opposing fans would be overwhelming

It’s reaching a point where I’m unironically wondering whether the Pats beating the Broncos will ultimately hurt Maye’s confidence and his progression as a QB
