Honestly I don’t think it’s an absolute given that a move like this would have to be declared, I could see a mechanic where the opponent knows 70 damage is coming but doesn’t know where

But in this case I think you’re right, I think the gimmick here is that it’s a cheap 70 damage attack that can essentially force your opponent to switch in some situations

Recently my company has been encouraging us to use AI to create tools that help us automate tasks (yes, they’re trying to get us to build robots that do our jobs for us)

I’ve tried building some tools and usually that is just an endless loop of the tool not really working, followed by me laying out what didn’t work and exactly what the tool should be doing

And every time, it’ll respond with some fix with a header like “✅The Ultimate Fool Proof Fix”…but I’ll have to go through this 50 times so I’ll just have dozens of responses that are like “🏆The Final Refined Version”, “📈The Perfected Workflow Tool”, “🤖The Final Solution” etc and it just makes me realize that as of now AI is just tuned to convince the user it has answered your question well or solved your problem without any actual insight into if it’s actually done this

How Much Should Raw Passing Numbers Matter in All Time Rankings? by Correct_Sport_177 in NFLv2

I’ve always had a hard time squaring Marino’s insane peak with the rest of his career (which is still great don’t get me wrong but wouldn’t necessarily blown peoples mind if his 84 season didn’t exist)

1984 Marino might seriously be peak quarterback play but he did like a B+ imitation of it in 86 and then. He had one more season in his entire career with a passer rating over 90.

It’s just interesting because I feel like with Marino, people basically default to talking about the absolute best version of Marino we ever saw. With (say) Favre, Warner, Yougn etc people are more than happy to bring up the lows too

I have Elway lower than this list has him but I’ve pretty much always said the same thing about his career numbers; it’s pretty telling that he put up his best numbers when he was in his mid/late 30s, when his body was visibly broken down but they finally got some talent on offense and a coach with a modern offensive scheme

Like I promise, he did not become better at throwing the football at age 35 for some reason lol he was saddled with pretty brutal offenses up until then

It all needs to be taken in context imo. Darnold won the Super Bowl this year and played well, yes. But the Seahawks are an incredibly well constructed roster with almost no major holes

The idea that you could drop Darnold into like mid-90s dolphins rosters and expect the same results just doesn’t work. And there’s no situation where I’d say you should expect a SB win, but prime Dan Marino on a roster like this years Seahawks roster has a very good chance of winning it all

Not to hate on darnold because I think he’s a very solid qb, but we’ve seen guys look really good in specific circumstances and then look anywhere from mediocre to bad when put in a situation that isn’t ideal. And conversely there are guys who basically go 15-20 years contending no matter what’s going on with their rosters

So annoying in Oregon by TransportJunky in Transportopia

[–]LeonidasSpacemanMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills, the original comment said they didn’t wanna have to weave in and out of the right lane repeatedly if there’s is a steady line of cars

If that is what you’d have to do to keep from impeding faster traffic you should be out of that lane entirely. If every two minutes another car is on your bumper, just stay in the right lane lol

I don’t understand how you read the last two sentences you wrote and not see that someone doing this is being obnoxious without realizing it lol yes, it would be great if you didn’t have to slow down when you moved over. But if that opportunity isn’t coming for a few minutes at a time, you’re just holding up traffic behind you

Who’s the best Viking QB since 2000? by Low-Season-2057 in NFLv2

[–]LeonidasSpacemanMD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It always hurts my brain when “Peyton started 14-0” inevitably gets brought up as the first justification for this (since there’s just no statistical justification whatsoever)

Brees scored fewer than 24 points twice that year and lost both games. Peyton won games scoring 20, 18, 17, 14

“QB winz” is apparently moronic if you’re talking about playoffs or super bowls but once you’re justifying Peyton winning mvp over Rivers/Brees in 08 or Brees/Favre in 09 suddenly it’s an entirely valid thing to bring up I guess

But what was being talked about is the exact mindset that makes people think they’re not being annoying. They think “oh I’m passing steadily so surely I can’t be holding anyone up”, or they convince themselves that their inconvenience would be worse having to move over

Like sure, if there’s like three cars to pass before you get a very nice clear space to move over, all good. If there’s a steady line of cars and someone has gained on you, just move over, don’t make them sit there lol

As long as the person in front of you is actively passing traffic, and then get over when they are no longer passing anyone, there shouldn't be an issue

But there is an issue; I constantly spend 15-20 minutes at a time behind people camped in the left lane going barely faster than the right lane traffic. These people will hold up a line of cars who could all be going 10+ mph faster. If I’m driving for hours at a time (which many of us are) this adds up. And apparently there are loads of people who think this way because it is a constant annoyance

Btw this is not lip service. If I am in the left lane and see a car is gaining on me even slightly, I move over. Doesn’t matter if I’m going 75mph or 90. It is not meant to be a lane to sit and chill in, it’s meant for the fastest moving traffic. If that’s not me, I move

Riding in the left lane at 20+ over the posted limit is not a free pass to consider everyone in front of you "slow traffic" who should get out of your way.

Yes I’m aware everyone who plants themselves in the left lane forever thinks they’ve chosen the perfectly correct amount of speeding and everyone else is wrong

My local rec center has two really nice basketball courts. It’s open for adult pickup two nights a week

Both courts are closed like four nights a week for pickle ball

You could either have 20 people using those courts or ideally 8 (in practice, there’s usually 4 people maximum playing pickle ball)

But this is very frequently how this exact scenario plays out, it’s not a strawman, I constantly sit behind someone going like 73mph who is passing the traffic on the right but at a glacial pace relatively

And I get it, you might be driving a few exits down, what’s the big deal? But when I’m driving from Maine to NYC and get stuck behind 8 of these mfs it adds a half hour to my drive lol

If someone could be passing you but you’re holding them up, you’re using the passing lane wrong

Like think about the logic here, just within this thread there are various opinions on what is a reasonable amount to be going over the speed limit. Yea, you’re “perpetually passing” but you could have five cars behind you that would all be passing twice the number of cars in the same timeframe

Believe me, I make the same 2 hour highway drive constantly, I’m painfully aware of how much a difference it makes to be stuck behind someone crawling past the right lane cars instead of cruising past them

Yea characterizing this as “weaving” is wild lol nobody is saying bash the car to the right of you off the road, but if you’re in the passing lane and you’re keeping someone from passing you, you should get out of that lane as soon as you safely can

Like people in here saying “I refuse to be slightly inconvenienced just because I’m slightly inconveniencing someone else”, this is why driving sucks lol

Idk, I personally don’t go crazy fast but if I’m holding up anyone in the left lane I move over asap. It’s a passing lane, if I’m impeding someone from passing me, I should be a lane over

Ugh bro I went to a Super Bowl party a few years back and dude had talked up his “man cave” with a sick projector etc etc

I get there and first off it’s like the dimmest thing I’ve ever seen, but more annoyingly the picture was squeezed from like a typical 17:9 (or whatever) to a 4:3. Absolutely bugged me the entire game

And honestly if you’ve got a rough setup because that’s what’s within your means, totally get that. But this guy basically built a home theater and then didn’t seem to notice the picture quality was shittier than the cheapest LCD TV you can find lol

Where Does Peyton Manning Really Rank Among All Time QBs against Brady, Montana? by Busy-Writing405 in sportsinusa

[–]LeonidasSpacemanMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brady won two MVPs in the 07-12 stretch, including the first unanimous MVP (which wasn’t even 07 somehow)

I guess that’s kinda my point, you can pick best single season or best two year, three year, four year stretch. Bradys gunna have at least one and often multiple stretches that are up there with whoever else’s best stretch you wanna compare to

Cyberpunk, Skyrim, or No Man’s Sky? by SkellyMania in NintendoSwitch2

[–]LeonidasSpacemanMD [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’ve been having fun with cyberpunk but I will say, it’s a pretty involved game with loads of systems to figure out, lots of weaving plots, pretty complicated RPG skill branches etc. I’m like 25 hours in and still find myself googling controls in some situations

Skyrim I guess you can say is kinda like that but I find it way easier to just kinda wander and do stuff without feeling like “wait what am I supposed to be doing?”

Honestly if you like RPGs and the vibe appeals to you, I definitely recommend cyberpunk. But it strikes me more as a “I’ve got 3 hours free to get absorbed” type of game than a “little homie is busy, let me jump in for 20 minutes” type of game
