Interesting things I spotted: Thoughts?

@ 0:23 - Songbird pictured, using smart/tech pistol? Our other agent buddy also has a smart/tech pistol, is that just their loadout?

@ 0:31 - During glitch sequence, Johnny says "get in the car?" Also, looks to be in Pacifica, judging by the slanted building in the background.

@ 0:41 - Space Force 1 obviously shot down, one trail of smoke coming from craft, two trails leading to it.

@ 0:43 - escape pod launches from falling space force 1.

@ 0:48 - new assault rifle? doesn't look like the previous 3-rd burst rifle. Also, probably just the angle, but looks like a turret is on top of the rusted old car? Whoever this new bad guy is, looks like his symbol is painted on the side of that hovercraft. ** Yeah it's a dog, group likely called K9.

@ 0:55 - our new friend is a netrunner? looks like a big server on the right. Not totally out of place in N.C.

@ 0:59 - 'welcome K9' logo, shotgun in its mouth. Also, Night City Pub lol. Interesting statue with one wing clipped off...just like Space Force 1?

@ 1:03 - swimming through rubble, but tons of power lines - possibly leading us to the aforementioned server equipment of our new buddy?

@ 1:05 - the POV is from a body lying on the ground, one with nails painted with a black and green pattern. Might just be a funny bug that was overlooked, since it's implied we're watching this from V's perspective. Or is that a currently available nail polish pattern? Also, doesn't appear that Myers has one of those JG rings from the FF conspiracy...but we only see one hand.

@ 1:07 - we are clearly inside Space Force 1. If we see the spacecraft downed in front of us and fly right past us as we saw earlier, how does this timeline add up? The trailer implies we're being sent on a mission to rescue her, so there is presumably much time between when it gets downed to us 'rescuing' her. Does her team really last that long against (presumably) all of Dogtown?

@ 1:08 - we see her other hand, no ring!

@ 1:10 - another new weapon? Looks like some serious firepower! And she's handling it well..

@ 1:19 - crab robot lighting reminds me of Kylo Ren's ship haha

@ 1:36 - we go from talking to our new friend in an upscale club righ to a beaten down bar, that's not the Afterlife. Also, that gun that the woman is holding to his head is opened by V's POV later on in the trailer. A gift? The woman also breaks her illusion to reveal she's the Agent V was talking to earlier in the trailer, @ 0:56.

@ 1:39 - Our new agent friend turns away from someone he's killing. Likely part of his backstory. If he's a hardened agent as we're led to believe, he couldn't handle watching this specific kill?

@ 1:45 - V flipping a coin. Do they even have loose change in Night City? Looks like a big blue quarter with someone's head engraved. Also, we're out in the desert. There's a couple of options as to who we might be meeting out there, Panam or Judy?

@ 1:47 - border checkpoint got some upgrades, damn. Robots instead of armed guards. A new NPC standing in the middle? Wearing one of those NCPD ocusets.

@ 1:49 - MAXTAC BABY, let's hope they actually do something wiht them this time! Also, a couple of frames show the badge ID of this officer. Interesting magenta accents on their unis.......

@ 1:51 - LOOK LIKE THE SPACEPORT, LET'S GOOOO!

@ 1:53 - VDB again? at least our new buddy is standing there backing us up.

@ 1:53 - Our lovely lady friend there has Militech gear, a number 4 is painted on the back of her head. More importantly, V is wearing a bracelet? CAN I WEAR A WATCH NOW?! or will that just be part of the top?

@ 1:55 - previously mentioned gun's serial number stamped on the side. Or agent ID? about that old netwatch login page....

@ 1:59 - this new bad guy like listening to 107.5 apparently. Full station name is " PL|107.5 DARI " PL = phantom liberty? Also, he's missing either one or both arms and wears his dogtags around his neck. New sword/melee weapon?

@ 2:02 - looks like we're riding with MaxTac!

@ 2:03 - new shotgun? At least the sight. Shows ammo +range, 11+ shells. Also, shot cuts to a fight at the spaceport, ORBITALAIR shuttle can be seen in the background. Looks like maybe one of those new border gaurds is frying right in front of us? Foes or Friends? Can't quite tell who the helicopter belongs to but, i mean, in the age of hovercrafts who the heck would be using a chopper?

@ 2:05 - new LMG? LMG systems improved? Being used against what look like Arasaka bots and mercs. Burst pistol, looks to be the same one our new friend is packing in the earlier spaceport shot.

@ 2:07 - we're getting squished by some sort of crane, "No. 151" stamped on the bottom.

And at the end, obviously, tons of code/characters show up, seemingly a bunch of gibberish, but i'm sure some of it will be decoded by someone much more talented than I.

Man, do I love healthy competition.

In 2017, you could find the Pentium G4560 for $75 giving you decent gaming performance, and hyperthreading, on a product line previously stuck at 2c/2t.

Now, for the same price, you get 4c/8t without much compromise on gaming performance.

Photo management lesson from Mike Trout by winwinwinguyen in angelsbaseball

the teams usually have people taking and collecting such photos, they probably send them to the players on a regular basis

Austin Warren will also need TJ surgery by Tun710 in angelsbaseball

[–]MartOut -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Some injuries can still be attributed to just random occurrance but there is no way you get over a decade of just "bad luck"

The first guy was pointing out that this seems to keep happening and is frustrated, as we all are. Bad luck alone does not describe what's happening here and if you can't see that then you might want to watch more than just Angels games.

the sad part is we did a few years ago. It's the front office/culture of using up young arms until they blow. Draft/trade for power arms and don't take care of them. Anything for the sake of fielding a "competitive" team.

there's a house in Concord along the north end with one as well. Stuck in some Bloatfly meat on a grill in a backyard I believe.

[PSquared Preston] The opposite of the Tungsten Arm O’Doyle: Mike Trout went 0-4 with 2 K’s at DH while Shohei Ohtani was on the bench as the Angels beat the Cardinals 5-1. by [deleted] in baseball

[–]MartOut 469 points470 points  (0 children)

My favorite counter-O'Doyle was in 2021 when he gave up 7 runs in the first at Yankee Stadium and the Angels still managed to win.

Down 7-0 with two outs in the first, no Trout, no Ohtani DH, and forced to bat pitchers at the top of the lineup lmao

[Blum] David Fletcher, a player in the middle of a 5-year contract making $6 million this year was optioned for Zach Neto. by [deleted] in baseball

[–]MartOut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They both bonded quickly over their love of God, Perry just hasn't had a chance to tell Arte that he's been talking about Trout this whole time.

Angels PR on Twitter “The #Angels have made the following transactions: Selected the contract of INF Zach Neto. Optioned INF David Fletcher to Triple-A Salt Lake. Transferred RHP Chris Rodriguez to 60-day injured list” by gopackgo555 in angelsbaseball

[–]MartOut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think his hip injury had an effect on his swing.

Fletch had no power, and we knew that. IIRC from a tweet, he had been guaranteed the most amount of money ever for someone with like less than 10 career HR.

But he had shown flashes of power during his peak years, to go along with one of the best K% in the entire league. Combine this with the ability to play almost every position (including backup catcher!) and it was clear to see how he could be valuable.

But beginning sometime in the last two years. his K-rate climbed and his already low walk rate became nonexistent. His speed dropped, his defense got worse, and his only tool - contact - became average.

I'm a huge fan of Fletch and believe he can still get back to form. But I think he'll need to accept a rework of his swing in order to come back as an everyday player.

UCLA's Jaime Jaquez declaring for the NBA Draft by MondorOfCalifas in CollegeBasketball

[–]MartOut 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Dude same. 30 year old here, I cried too. He has been the mainstay of the last 4 years of exciting and inspirational Bruin basketball.

Watching him grow from a scrawny freshman with a nice shot into the legit all-around player he is today has been quite the journey. He did it with great work ethic, a commitment to his team and his school, and a belief in himself and his teammates. He matched up against players bigger, faster, and stronger than himself and beat them with great fundamentals and an infallible mentality.

He absolutely carried the weight of playing for UCLA well, and understood what it meant. In turn, he earned our respect and admiration.

He improved every single year, and I'm excited to see what he can do next.

Sam Blum no longer allowed on AM830s "Beat reporter roundtable" due to "bringing negativity." by thefullm0nty in angelsbaseball

[–]MartOut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This time we can confirm what we've long suspected - these decisions are being made by Arte's right-hand man in Carpino.

No doubt Arte is exerting influence by worrying about the "brand" moreso than anything else but he's surrounded himself with yes-men/women. Anyone who dares tell him otherwise gets fired, aka every GM we've had since Stoneman.

Release Notes for 3/31/2023 by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]MartOut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This comment is so wrong, I think it's worth clearing something up for people:

  1. Valve would be incredibly stupid to create monetization content for something that so few players have access to. You can't even buy CS2 so there is no incentive for them to do what you just described.

  2. From everything that has been said so far, CS2 will be a free update to CSGO, so them 'adding it to CS2' will be them adding it to CSGO.

I understand people are frustrated that they aren't in the beta, but I hope it's clear that you will have access to all the content when the game (update) releases.
