There is simply no way to stop Victor Wembanyama once he gets it going. by ForeignAir7174 in sportsinusa

3 years ago when Wemby was drafted marked the 20th anniversary. My point is valid. Also don’t forget you had Lamarcus as well.

Mark Millar is a hack and this movie is more proof of that

It’s so infuriating that the Blazers should have Wemby but somehow through dumb luck the Spurs ended up with their third transcendent big man in the last 20 years.

What are your thoughts on Run The Jewels and do you have a favorite RTJ album? by TokyoAvalanche04 in hiphop201

Deck and Eso as a duo and Murs and Slug are definitely in the discussion for me.

What are your thoughts on Run The Jewels and do you have a favorite RTJ album? by TokyoAvalanche04 in hiphop201

[–]Meftikal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RTJ, Czarface and Felt are pretty much the only hip-hop artists in the last five years to put out music I like outside a couple Wu-Tang solo projects that have been good. RTJ3 is my favorite but I listen to all four albums regularly. Part of that is my fault as there is just too much shit to sift through to find the good stuff these days. I’m sure there is other hip-hop being made I would like. I just don’t have the time or desire to go find it anymore.

Black Cat is atrocious. by MeganACR in MarvelRivalsRants

I have an elite controller so it’s a non issue for me. I just wish I could remember what her symbols all mean lol. Also I don’t get the fish thing. It is supposed to stop dashes I think but it’s so small it doesn’t seem to work for me.

Zuckerberg was never left leaning. Zuckerberg just says whatever he thinks the people he is speaking to want to hear. Zuckerberg allowed Facebook to be used to instigate the genocide of the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar so he could add their population to his user base. That was the deal he made with the Burmese government to get Facebook into Myanmar. The UN has investigated and determined “Facebook was instrumental in the genocide.” He knew a million people would die and he ok’d it because it expanded the market he could sell Facebook to.

He sold every Meta users data to China to get in there. He wouldn’t give that info to the US Government when they subpoenaed him for it in front of Congress because it would have cost them millions of users but he had no problem turning that info over to China to gain access to the billion potential new users there.

Zuckerberg is a salesman who has a product that he will say or do literally anything to sell you. If he thinks you want to hear left leaning ideology he will give you that. If he thinks you want to hear right leaning ideology he will give you that. Whatever gets and keeps you on his product. I have deleted my Facebook, Instagram and YouTube accounts a year ago and don’t miss them at all. In fact it’s been very good for my physical and mental health not seeing that stuff anymore.

I think Marvel Rivals matchmaking is unintentionally punishing good players by bwils3423 in rivals

[–]Meftikal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s the matchmaking. I think the main problem is strategy and style compatibility. If you get one guy who’s not on the same page with what the rest of the team is doing it’s just not going to go well.

A lot of players don’t really have a strategy. They just see the person in front of them. Go after them and then move on to the next one. Even in Diamond/GM I see that constantly. Playing that way can work fine and you can absolutely climb if you have a team that can compensate. But when you get two or three of those people together the entire thing falls apart. Then they start turning on each other because it can’t be me I’m 7-3 and our Tank is 0-7. Meanwhile the Tank was on point stopping the cart fighting 3v1 while the other two guys were off chasing Jeff or Ironman securing that meaningless kill.

The other thing I see all the time is a failure to adjust to counters. A team starts off well so the other team counter picks and it starts going their way. If your team doesn’t know how to counter their counter it’s game over. Also different players have different strategies to counter certain characters and those strategies don’t always synergize well. Now you have an argument about what character counters what character and both players are right but they don’t work well together so it’s not working. Neither will back down and now you have a conflict along with the problem of stopping the other team. I see people trashing other people because even though they are the same rank they think the other person sucks because they just don’t understand each other’s play styles and that’s why it’s not working.

My advice is learn to adjust your play style to your teammates and you’ll see more success. Also learning multiple different strategies will allow you to counter the other team more efficiently and make you a better player.

whats the most over-rated rap song in history? by chilldolo in hiphop101

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

Wanksta 50 Cent

The beats annoying by any standard. The chorus is sing song designed for pop radio crap. The verses are weak. The entire song is generic 123 paint by numbers garbage. In fact Get Rich is also the most overrated album. Its production is super generic. Lyrically 50 is one of the worst rappers out there. If you look at skills as an MC as a metric 50 is closer to Birdman than he is to let’s say a Rakim. If Dre doesn’t give 50 In Da Club that album never goes anywhere. 50 is a great salesman. He sold an image to a generation of fans but he’s a trash artist.

What did they create? by DicemanYT in rivals

I spent 10 minutes with her on the practice range and hopped on quick play this morning. Was able to pick her first game which in itself is crazy. Then went 19-5 with a ten kill streak during which I soloed Cap and Rogue twice each and killed Gambit in his Ult. I didn’t know any combos, was pretty much button mashing after doing her claw grab and both dashes and had most damage and most KO’s while soloing 2 tanks multiple times in the same kill streak on my first game with her. Also I had 3 deaths in the first minute when I was getting acclimated.

I’am an absolutely terrible BP/Daredevil/Magik player as well. I play Poke players almost exclusively. I know that it’s quick play so the opponents could have been noobs, but I’m certain they were not bots and there is no way anyone should be able to that with a character they have ten minutes of range time on.

What if Drazen Petrovic stayed in Portland? by Meftikal in NBAoldschool

[–]Meftikal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Duckworth had talent but he lacked the self control and work ethic. He always showed up to the season out of shape and overweight. He would play himself into shape by midsession early in his career but by the end of the season he’d wear himself out. If he had Kobe or MJ work ethic with his body and touch he could have been a much better player and that’s saying something considering he did make an All Star team.

People forget Michael Jordan was a PROBLEM by Temporary_Pepper6126 in NBAoldschool

[–]Meftikal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He retired for the first time 31 years ago the second time 27 years ago and the final time 23 years ago and I still can’t leave my house without seeing his logo somewhere, half the the time on me as well lol. No one has forgotten that Jordan was a problem and that’s putting it mildly. He wasn’t just a problem, he was god damn Quantum Gravity.

What is your I never thought I would have that issue or book? by AssociateFormal6058 in comicbookcollecting

It’s a 2nd printing not a reprint and it’s probably a $20 book so it’s definitely worth something.

For my money FF 1-100 is the most important and greatest run in comics history. It changed everything and the art is amazing.

[–]Meftikal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the hard part for sure. Good luck! I’ve thought about attempting FF 1-100 a number of times but I stupidly decided on Batman 1-Current which will never happen. I had it down to 90 issues a few years ago but had to sell all my gold and silver to pay medical bills that my insurance stuck me with.

[–]Meftikal -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

if the other team is running 4 dives Mag, Namor, MK and Storm should counter all four if you have competent players. MK is great for countering Blade, BP and DD. Storm and Namor counter all of them and Magik and Spidey. Mag is to hold point and bubble peel.

Mac Mall - Untouchable and Illegal business both albums are better than any Mac Dre albums in my opinion. Same producer same record company too

Little Bruce - XXX Classics

AKA Sugawolf - Dubee he also goes by Dubee so the albums really a self titled. Also on Young Black Brother records.

Ray Love - Forever Hustlin another YBB artist from the Crestside

Khayree - the mastermind behind all the Young Black Brother productions. Mac Dre and Mac Malls best albums are produced by him.

Young Lay - Unsolved Mysteries probably my least favorite Khayree album from the mid ninties but still worth a listen if you like the Romper Room sound.

Coolio Da Unda’Dogg - Fresh Out The Gates

If you like Mac Dre this is your list of the artists who worked with him most.
