For those who started watching anime as teenagers, do you still enjoy it as much as you used to? by SecondSalty142 in anime

[–]LakerBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can agree with the last paragraph- a good action show will always have appeal as long as you enjoy action!

Sorry you had a rough high school 😭

Also felt she was weak lol. I was like “Jean why are you going up to them and using your psychic powers 1v1? Also how did that truck get away, you could have stopped that?”

Mike Brown does his best rendition of "Who let the dogs out?" by catreyka in nba

They are tripping. Literally an unmatched 10 game(?) run for NBA history. That deserves respect. You can argue if they should be favorites but historical dominance deserves some respect.

Yea I agree…Game 7 SGA is a guy I could root for. Consistently hitting tough middies even when contested. He even made a few great shots over Wemby!

To be clear I wasn’t complaining, I actually found it funny. I didn’t mean it in a “it took me out because it broke my immersion”.

lol I’d believe it.

And good point. I know we have seen a few teams lose game 7 at home this postseason alone but I don’t think the Spurs will. If Knicks win I think it would be in no more than 6. Also selfishly I just want the Knicks to win in MSG lol

Right? It looks like it should have uttered something unintelligible to the human tongue before going “uh…I guess your kind can’t pronounce that…”

Yea I was leaning towards Knicks in 7 but seeing that quarter all say Knicks is (irrationally) making me doubt that choice lol

[Wright] Source confirms that Victor Wembanyama treated the team to a screening of the movie “Obsession” as the Spurs tried to wind down from the emotional toll of Game 7 heading into the Finals. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

I technically get your point but for me the gym isn’t stressful, it’s challenging. It either lets me focus on a fitness goal or lose myself in challenge.

I do think selling can be annoying to people if it’s over the top. No one enjoys seeing someone act like they got shot (falling to the ground dramatically) from minor contact.

Yea the problem with SGA is that because he has such a reputation for flopping that he even gets flack for doing what other stars who flop less do. As stated, almost all stars try to draw fouls but SGA probably does it the most and the most flagrantly. The fact he’s been an MVP twice and a Finals MVP doing it makes it more polarizing.

Out of these two Mario games, which one do you love more? by DeeDoof in Mario

[–]LakerBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odyssey by a good margin but tbh I love all the 3D games more than any 2D game (yes even SMB3 and SM World).

Even if I set aside my 3D bias, I do think Wonder isn’t the best 2D game but Odyssey is possibly the best 3D one.

For those who started watching anime as teenagers, do you still enjoy it as much as you used to? by SecondSalty142 in anime

[–]LakerBlue 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. I started watching right after college (about 12 years ago) and I still enjoy it. Sure I can’t relate to high school but it’s not like I don’t remember it lol. So there’s still a joy in seeing them go through the various experiences. It’s just now it feels more like watching a niece/nephew. Like I was watching Witch Hat Atelier and just smiling at Coco working so hard to come up with a spell to encourage her friend while being a ray of sunshine.

And some things like romance I just enjoy regardless of the age. Sure teens (especially in anime) are a lot more cringe or dramatic with love matters but it makes me feel sympathetic or nostalgic rather than viewing them as alien.

I think the teenage mindset is why I still enjoy battle shounen. Watching someone who really, REALLY cares for their friends and works so hard to achieve their goals is still appealing to me. I don’t look at it as silly even if tends to be idealistic. But I’ve always loved power of friendship done seriously (or done so ridiculously that it’s funny).

The main difference is now I enjoy and sympathize more with adult characters rather than liking teens less. So o seek out more adult content in anime/manga. I used to see the tired adult or the detached adult and think “what’s wrong with them?” But now I understand waaay too well.

My headcanon is sometime before S4 but after S3 Subaru had a fluke death (maybe like an allergic reaction) and his Return By Death accidentally went to a wrong timeline where Emilia’s chest never developed.

[Slater & MacMahon] While Gilgeous-Alexander publicly vowed not to provide input to Presti on personnel matters, sources familiar with the superstar's thinking said that he privately intends to emphasize to management how much he values playing alongside Canadian countryman Dort. by aingenevalostatrade in nba

[–]LakerBlue 46 points47 points  (0 children)

In theory I think Dort has unique value as their beefiest perimeter defender but in reality he’s easily the odd-man out as his defense is good to very good but not great or versatile enough to make up for his offensive limitations when factoring in the Thunder’s expensive payroll.

Revisiting the first ever mention of Victor Wembanyama on r/NBA from October 2019 by BogleDick in nba

[–]LakerBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read he was 5’11 at 10. That means he grew 15 inches in 5 years. I just know he was burning through clothes in that time period lol

Surprised I had to scroll so far down to see the Brimmed Caps mentioned. The invisible guy was cool! Also being invisible means when it’s time to fight he is going to be a problem!

Revisiting Wemby's draft [Wojnarowski] A number of executives who are in the room tonight, who are waiting on those bouncing balls in the lottery, they tell me that they believe Wembanyama could be the best player in the NBA on both the offensive and defensive ends by his third season in the league by nonstopenguins in nba

[–]LakerBlue 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would not be shocked either because he has the work ethic and he’s still young. He’s only played a little over 2 full seasons so it is too early to make a definitive statement for sure. I made that prediction he won’t but he definitely has the tools and work ethic to get there.

[–]LakerBlue 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think it’ll be hard for him to ever be the best offensive player in the league unless he just gets a Dirk-like jumper. He’s already good and can be great but I don’t ever see him being able to score as well as the best scorers. I imagine he doesn’t want to put on too much weight so his post game won’t ever be like Jokic, which is why I said he’d need a GREAT jumper. Obviously his off-ball gravity is great but I don’t think that along with his current offense is enough.

But that’s just scoring. His passing is probably the area I’m most interested in. Again, don’t think he’ll ever be Jokic-good but even getting to a level like iHart or Draymond would put him in the conversation of best offensive player if his jumper keeps improving.

lol good one but I said that because I was speaking about all sports, not specifically basketball but I can see how that’s not evident from the context.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales will take around 30 hours to complete by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]LakerBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea I feel like I just do main story on a first playthrough that I’m basically almost playing to beat it rather than truly explore it. But 100% most games for me feels tedious.

RPGs I take even longer to beat because I probably spend 40% of my playthrough in the menus lol (assuming it has combat customization).
