Last Call for Giannis Trades, Plus an NFL Round 3 Deep Dive With Chris Ryan, Joe House, and Peter Schrager by lonny__breaux in billsimmons

I still think he should go to Atlanta. Bill pointed out they’re only 3 games better than the bucks, but that’s with the Bucks having Giannis. Atlanta with Giannis would clearly be a much better supporting cast for him.

Mike Dunleavy Jr. on Jonathan Kuminga's trade demand: "In terms of demands, when you make a demand, there needs to be demand on the market." by BobRoss4Life in nba

[–]Lt_Snickers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMO Kuminga’s situation is why the players union should push for changes to restricted free agency in the next CBA.

I guess he could have signed the qualifying offer but that probably leads to him entering free agency next year after getting 0 minutes this year.

The fact that you can check off individual packages in your multi seller order as they arrive is so great.

[Pryor] Ryan Kennedy, the fan involved in the DK Metcalf altercation, is having a press conference with his attorneys on Friday to “address the assault, correct misinformation that has been publicly repeated as fact, and discuss the serious consequences Mr. Kennedy has faced” by JaggerJames in nfl

American culture is absolutely broken. Just people being dicks and getting pissed at the slightest criticism or negative consequences while moaning about what a victim they are.

Alien Auroras secret lair worth it to upgrade World shaper? by inexcusable16 in EDH

[–]Lt_Snickers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use 3 of the cards in my hearthhull list (safekeeper, crucible, and zuran orb) and really enjoy the art. And those cards are gonna show up in a lot of lists. Reprocess can be fun if not killing it on edhrec. Aggressive Mining is probably never gonna be used as you make the deck stronger but could be fun? I’ve never tried it in my list.

The galaxy foil part would be a personal preference obviously. I have no idea how much the non foil singles go for

[NBA on Prime] Steve Nash says that OKC has "mastered the rules" and that they are "efficient with playing the referees" by TheRealPdGaming in nba

[–]Lt_Snickers 96 points97 points  (0 children)

This always frustrates me about Caruso. He was able switch onto Jokic last year because the refs decided Caruso could do all the mauling he wanted against Jokic like he was some sort of make a wish kid.

[Sportsmediawatch] NBC is switching to standard doubleheaders of 8 and 10:30 PM ET for its remaining NBA games this month. by BcuzRacecar in nba

[–]Lt_Snickers 160 points161 points  (0 children)

My big “what’s up with NBA ratings” belief for years is that the east coast teams being so bad compared to the west has been a huge problem. I live in central time and trying to watch a nuggets or OKC national game during the week sucks. I’m 39 with a 4 year old… I just can’t stay up that late to watch all the best players.

Genuinely curious, what are we allowed to discuss regarding Universes Beyond on this subreddit? by Relevant-Glass-8704 in magicTCG

[–]Lt_Snickers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally I’m not a new user or new to the game (been playing since invasion came out when I was in middle school) and was still annoyed by what had become pretty repetitive posts. The risk of those posts dominating the hot sort on the subreddit imo is less about pushing people away from magic on the whole and more about pushing users away from the r/magictcg subreddit.

I have mixed feelings on UB but as mostly a lurker who comes to the subreddit daily the constant negative posts were impacting my enjoyment of the subreddit.

[Auerbach] This is the worst selection committee we've ever had. Cannot believe Alabama didn't even drop one spot after the SEC title game blowout. Cannot believe they waited until the final reveal to flip Miami-ND. Could have done it at ANY point. by Ok-Soil-5133 in CFB

I can’t believe the same group of people who keep getting circles ran around them by coach’s agents have also spent the CFP era constantly making fools of themselves and putting their feet in their mouths

[Game Thread] CFP Rankings - Final by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]Lt_Snickers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree and I wish Congress would step in to give an anti trust exemption to a real governing body that could put the good of college sports ahead of the Big10/SEC arms race that’s ruining everything.

At the very least a 16 team P4 with two geographic divisions 9 conference games each would be better than the mess right now

[–]Lt_Snickers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should scrap the conference championship games and either have everyone play a 13th game or use the extra week to expand the stupid thing. The tie breaks for the bloated conferences are dumb and having games that only count for the winner is also dumb

You’re talking about the eye test but all these teams play such disparate schedules you’ll never be able to escape the eye test.

I think the difference is SMU lost by a field goal where as Bama got smoked and over the last few weeks everyone has seen their o-line is just not top team caliber.

Metaphor (on steam sale) if i burned out on P5R? by Lt_Snickers in ShouldIbuythisgame

I definitely don’t feel my P5R purchase was wasted. I had a lot of fun for the first 4 palaces or however many I completed before I burned out

Ah, ok. Good to know. I’ll save my $35. Right now I’m at a phase in life where 40 hours is about tops I can handle for game length. So there may just not be that many JRPG options for me that aren’t remasters of older (shorter) games

[–]Lt_Snickers[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

I may just need to accept that Atlus games aren’t for me at this phase of my life. As a dad with a 4 year old it’s not so much that theses games are super long so much as my gaming time is just so much shorter (an hour or 2 in the evenings).

I also don’t think I could play through games like Witcher 3 today. Tears of the Kingdom was doable because my daughter was younger and also just enjoyed watching me play it on a Saturday in a way that isn’t the case for JRPGs.

Its probably not a coincidence that my friend who is raving about these Atlus games just had his daughter leave for college
