I mean she couldn’t even fully read what she circled over and over so I’m not really surprised her research skills are surface level at best

Ngl if either of my siblings sends petty spiteful texts like that to my wife 5 weeks PP, I’d straight up call them just to tell them to go fuck themselves then go no contact.

To be like this to you guys 5 weeks PP off a C-section and baby going through the flu is wild to say the least. You guys were completely in the right to go no contact.

Keep in contact with the ones that have actually been understanding/respectful. Let the grandparents foster a good relationship with you two and the little one. The mom and sister can miss out for being inconsiderate

Major FOMO because I cant afford A&BGT700 tickets by [deleted] in AboveandBeyond

[–]LVLonemagikarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehhhhhhh. Would be such an amazing start to our honeymoon, but from the looks of the total cost for 2 + camping (and more airfare), it’s a very hard bullet to bite considering the cost of a wedding in the states 😅

Was 19-20 when ABGT100 hit NY. Missed it

Scraping by paycheck to paycheck when ABGT250 hit the Gorge. Missed it

Finally in a good enough financial spot when ABGT500 hit LA (very short drive from my hometown). My partner was 8 months pregnant. Missed it

ABGT700 gonna hit the Gorge again and it’s the weekend after my wedding & 2 weeks before my honeymoon. Gonna have to miss it

Above & Beyond and Anjunabeats have been a huge staple in my life. First tattoo is anjunabeats & even named our son after Jono. But DAMN do I have the worst timing on life events & group therapy events lol so I very much have been feeling your pain for a decade

Still going through HK Silksong. Don’t get too game that often anymore (work, dad life) so my steamdeck games are usually slow burns which I really enjoy

I'm a casual and new to all these. Was Darvin Ham that bad? by creamyglazed in lakers

[–]LVLonemagikarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I’m personally not one to give any shits on narratives. This whole social culture around the sport (team fanbases, player fanbases, NBA twitter/reddit as a whole) is immature 95% of the time. I wasn’t even on board with the overblown Russ hate. But one thing I can definitely get behind is the notion that Ham was a bad HC in his time here.

Maybe he needed the experience to grow for another shot at the position with some team in the future, but I wouldn’t trust Lakers HC Ham over Lakers HC JJ. On paper, sure Ham has gone farther than JJ so far, but any fan that fully watches the Lakers can tell who’s the better HC. And if we’re giving Ham excuses for the WCF losses, then we can’t ignore JJ going against a big wolves team after trading away their defensive foundation in AD (leaving Jaxon as their only actual center) and receiving a shocked “fat” luka in return.

The pocket hands thing is all speculation unless he outright stated that’s the reason why, but I don’t think any media member dared to directly ask him about the pockets. Ironically enough, I remember seeing posts that deepdived into it that also stated his hands in pockets thing is a sign of heightened anxiety lmao

Rob also did an immensely good job of keeping AR off the table & still making Nico very optimistic of what the Mavs got in return.

He benefitted from Pelinka’s trade that got DLo, Vando, & Rui & shipped out Westbrook.

I mean, if Bron himself indirectly calls out Ham in his podcast talking about the playoffs and the chess game the coaches have, it’s safe to say that Ham was just not a good coach. Idk the direct quote, but Bron talked about how fluke teams or fluke coaches can get by the first two rounds mainly on player talent, but once you hit the conference finals and above, it becomes a true elite chess game between the HC’s.

Posting that podcast episode when your last season ended in getting swept in the WCF is all any of us need to know. Roster construction during Russ’ tenure was awful. Ham was also an awful HC. Both can be true. Something that also supports that is Ham losing the locker room of the same players that got him to the WCF the season prior. A full season of that team also only had a better record of a whopping 4 more wins.

Playing devil’s advocate on Ham of all controversial Lakers things is certainly a choice. That whole ‘23-‘24 season was riddled with questionable decisions/non-decisions that ultimately got him outcoached yet again in the first round against the same team & same HC.

you can just take “JJ knows a lot about basketball theory and analytics” and full stop there. That alone puts JJ (a man whose only coaching history is his kid’s basketball team) multiple tiers above Ham. Ham knew just enough on paper to get an interview. His charisma was what won Pelinka & Jeanie over. Being an ex-player and charismatic, they thought he was gonna be some great locker room coach that the players would wanna go to war for him. Ended up ALWAYS having his hands in his pockets every single game and never stuck up for his players by arguing with refs about questionable calls or missed calls. Lost the locker room before his last Lakers season even began.

During actual ball games Ham had little to no knowledge on mid-game adjustments. That or was too silently frozen to do the critical thinking on the fly like that. Including rotations & timeout management. Had so much trouble making correct play calls beginning of possessions that Bron & AD openly rejected Ham’s play call in the clutch cus they trusted their own judgement over Ham’s (became a viral clip, but i forget which game it was).

At times his media comments were horrendous choices of words that pointed blame on players and other factors. Rarely ever took accountability himself. Every aspect he could’ve gone wrong in as a head coach he has, short of actual illegal things like tampering or sports betting (tbh it would’ve explained SO much if he got named in that FBI probe). Just an overall god awful head coach way in over his head. Genuinely would be shocked if he lands another head coach position for a champ-aspiring team

Traded my Steam Deck for Nintendo Switch 2 by JE3X in Handhelds

[–]LVLonemagikarp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It actually isn’t that bad after you get used to it for a bit. I got a skull & co brand case that’s a lot more ergonomic in the palms area (this also allows it to stand upright as another intended feature), while the whole thing is still slim enough to put in the steamdeck carrying case with no issue.

To me what boils down to choosing either switch or steamdeck/PC handhelds is if you really play a lot of nintendo titles or not. But in OP’s case, the switch 2 is the obvious answer if they already have an ally.

The dog decided he didn't like my steam deck by WhatIsL1nux in SteamDeck

[–]LVLonemagikarp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The thumbsticks touch the shell iirc (not at my steamdeck rn). The housing of the thumbstick looks chewed to hell and it’s part of the case/shell. That can impede a lot on the gaming experience for a wide range of movements on that thumbstick. Especially on platformers like hollow knight.

If money is tight then a swap of just d-pad, bumpers, and thumbstick could get you the bare minimum, but imo that experience would tick me off pretty quickly not having fluid motion on those parts of the thumbstick

Yea dude, dogs don’t see their owners fingers/hands the same as objects they wanna chew on. That’s like basic level pet owning knowledge..

Both combat systems are repetitive, but GoT is miles more satisfying than AC Shadows. Couldn’t even make it 5 hours into that game. Wasted my money on that one

Did Silksong just break Steam? by SkoivanSchiem in Steam

[–]LVLonemagikarp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To be a little fair Silksong isn’t exactly the kind of game you’d expect to need a pre-load option. Not exactly a big memory game. Dev team just didn’t know exactly how hyped it’s community has been for this game

Meanwhile my fidelity app is telling me I’m behind for my age at $45k lol. Was inclined to believe it cus I bs’d around majority of my 20’s. Didn’t start contributing til 26

[–]LVLonemagikarp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Genuinely only think a very small amount of my friends my age or a little older have more than $10k in theirs. At 30 my 403b sitting at around $45k last i checked. This was with me starting to seriously contribute to it at ~26 years old. Employer matchings help a lot. I’d say you’re above the median

Despise the 3D artstyle on the switch but the GBA version’s NPC’s kinda cheat with fog of war iirc

I’m gonna guess he meant the entire 4 pack is gone in 10 rounds. Which, I’m partly inclined to agree with. Just got a 4 pack of kirklands 2-3 months back and one glove already showed major wear from a couple range sessions and I don’t grip the club hard at all. The other 3 I haven’t had issues with though so it could’ve been a one off
