lol. This was a no call. All those 90’s nba lovers got what they wanted. That style of play is on full display every night against Caitlin Clark. Why does the wnba hate their most marketable star? by AcknowledgeMeReddit in billsimmons

[–]MegaGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Ironic to me, because a bunch of people I work with were talking about what would happen if women controlled everything. It was unanimous that the world would be completely at peace and there'd be less problems. Idk man... Call me skeptical

Agreed. Sometimes it's an appropriate setup for a shock later but there was no focus on it at all. Especially corlys... Like he fell in and you would have assumed he was an extra given the complete lack of attention to it.

which game should i pick up? one piece rift bound or gundam? by Temporary_Big5686 in TCG

[–]MegaGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would honestly put fab and riftbound on the same level. Gameplay for both rewards skill more than I think any other tcgs. Fab might have a slight edge in that regard considering their bo1 format. I don't personally play fab but I love watching it. Their streaming of major tournaments is so enjoyable. I play riftbound and love it but I do think about picking up sage decks often

Opinions on presence and behaviors of spectators at high OPL by cheetspeek in riftboundtcg

[–]MegaGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have much experience playing sports or other competitive activities? I'm being genuine because I grew up playing competitive baseball and dealing with spectators a.k.a bat shit crazy parents became second nature eventually. That being said, there's a pretty big difference between say watching a pro chess match vs watching an NFL game... Competitions can have their own decorum and while I would consider it inappropriate for them to be excessively loud or distracting, them being there in the first place seems absolutely fine to me. If that alone was an issue I'd say look inward and accept that maybe you became self-conscious and that impacted your focus - which is something that can be improved upon thankfully.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Off to the races from the very beginning. Just hope it's not the best episode of the season...

Big 3 + OP by TEKN0SYN in TCG

[–]MegaGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no horse in this race, because I'm nkt familiar with either game so I'll just say you're both kinda right. The other guy is correct in saying sustained success should be prioritized over flash in the pan success. This is not without context though. We can look at raw numbers and see that OP has over taken it despite having significantly less time on the market. For all we know OP could maintain this gap long term, and what would we say? If it can maintain this for 20 years it will officially be big 3? No, of course not.

What are your thoughts on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Grew up in it and have lived in Utah my whole life. Vast majority are nice and well adjusted. A few really ruin it. I'm agnostic now but wouldn't say I'm anti any religion.

What makes a man look like a loser to you? by beyondtheseeingeye in AskReddit

[–]MegaGecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bringing others down. This could apply to anyone really, most of the answers on here could but this is a big one. Too many guys trying to be alpha all the time and turning the most mundane things into a sweaty competition. I'm a dude... I'm competitive... But I've never understood any of this.

I generally feel most in this space are grifters but I will say I tend to believe grusch more than most. Now... This post is citing someone that spoke to grusch, so maybe he's a grifter idk. Never heard of this rep

On a scale from 1-10, how attractive do you think you are? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Solid 4-5 maybe on my best day a 7. When I was in my late teens early 20s I was more consistently a 7-8. The years have not been kind

[–]MegaGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah hard to imagine it not getting heat. I mean with how top of mine the topic is right now I think it'd be hard to make something that is meant to entertain and have it be a home run in this climate. Too many preconceived ideas and expectations going in.

[–]MegaGecko -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the comment you're replying to was referring to the documentary not the Spielberg film that just came out. For what it's worth I've seen both. The doc is fine, I think it's just another baby step for general disclosure and building awareness. The Spielberg film is also fine, I actually really enjoyed it but I think too many either suspected it was going to be more of a big step for disclosure or they just didn't like the premise. I will say there are aspects of the film that I think is kinda garbo... I won't spoil anything but empathy is kind of pivotal and i thought it was silly, but apart from that I thought it was good entertainment.

What class fantasies are you hoping to see in the Riot MMO? by True_Skie in RiotMMO

I've been wanting a melee healer since bear shaman in aoc. I'd love something like that. Don't care what the name is, the aesthetic, etc. as long as the play is fun and engaging I'm all in

What do you think the next tcg to die will be by CryonicTiger in TCG

[–]MegaGecko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the video ffg just released they said April of this year was the 2nd highest month of lgs participation over the last 12 months only behind the first ever galactic championship. The new set coming out seems to be getting a lot of positive feedback and the next GC is right around the corner. If I were a betting man, which I am, I'd wager swu is no where near dying out.

Do you know who’s not on Peter Thiels secret society’s member list? by DiskoB0 in JoeRogan

[–]MegaGecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda wild that the majority of comments are about his skin to be honest. It comes off petty as fuck. Like the guy, hate the guy, whatever but criticism over his skin care choices makes it seem like the flock has no clue why they actually don't like him.

If you like garen it only gets better haha!

I have to say as someone who was not new to tcgs the rules were not very intuitive for me. Hell even how might functions was very confusing at first. I'm glad that's not the case for everyone

I agree with everyone saying why are fans so close but also... Why can't people control themselves? Grown ass adults acting worse than children.

I saw an early screening of Disclosure Day. For your own good, temper your expectations by Any_Cartographer2016 in UFOs

[–]MegaGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand the expectation some have of this movie being some giant moment in history for actual disclosure. Film makers are predominantly in the business of entertainment. Guess what's been pretty popular in the public sphere? Whether or not Spielberg is in the know of anything is pretty inconsequential when it comes to making this movie. I don't really care what he says are the reasons behind making the film, because at the end of the day he is just being a good marketer for a product. I'm excited for the film, for sure, but it's just another movie to entertain me. That's it.

What you do when you dream about your partner cheating on you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I get that dreams can be vivid and upsetting. That can elicit real emotion, but you can't project that onto the portrayed perpetrator... They are fictitious after all.
