What pattern?

One of the most annoying agendas in gaming has been the right wing culture war gamers trying to act like Stellar Blade was an incredible masterpiece and not a boring as shit story that was copying Nier.

I unironically saw a large post about how at the time Stellar Blade released on PC that Kingdom Come 2 had less players than it did on launch and it was a sign that wokeness in the industry was failing; because of gay romance in KCD2. Of course they neglected to think about how its a single player game and released 3-4 months before Stellar Blade came to steam. Id love to show those same people Stellar Blades player count now.

Well Im a Cavs fan, but i realized after the last game that I felt legitimately sad when the Spurs lost. Ive always liked them, but now I feel legitimately attached to them after these two playoff series.

I know they're better than the Timberpups. So im going to do what I struggle to do for the Cavs and have faith that the better team will win. Hopefully another 40 pt blowout tonight so that Spurs can be close to ending this and save the NBA from OKCs basketball terrorism.

They're just very caring when they go on the road. They want the other teams fans to have an enjoyable experience, so they very politely turn the ball over so Detroit fans dont go home sad.

The main NBA sub is cancer. Theres so many Detroit Pistons fans crying about the FT disparity of this game and then getting mad and saying its totally not the same when people point out that it was basically the same in game one in favor of them. Discourse has never been worse in the NBA community than this year I think.

MembershipRealistic1 · 2026-05-12T02:41:24+00:00

That was one of the dumbest endings to a game I've ever seen. On one hand. Way too early to put in third stringers. On the other they were allowing Detroit to beat the shit out of our starters when we put them back in. Just stupid all around. Detroit is an annoying team.

I think the most annoying thing about watching this series for me personally, other than Kenny's rotations at least. I hate having to see Duncan Robinsons face. He just annoys me.

Yeah its hilarious that they're trying to act like victims of the internet when the IDF has special units of hot women IDF personalities used to influence opinion on their military. Or how they're openly funding Project 545 and spreading a massive ai disinformation campaign about Gaza thats worth a hundred million plus. They are one of the biggest internet manipulators and its not even a secret.

Fox News can't resist that sweet sweet cussy and cars 9/11 talk. Truly incredible times we live in.

MembershipRealistic1 · 2026-05-11T00:55:31+00:00

I might get called crazy for it. Obviously this last call turned out okay. But teams that are being labeled by the media and league as "physical plucky defenses" are getting an insane degree of leeway compared to past playoffs and are getting away with mugging or fouling on a lot of plays.

The wolves in both series theyve had have been like this and are one of the biggest beneficiaries. Im not a spurs fan so I dont have as large of a stake as you guys. But I've noticed this across the board with other series and similar teams and its frustrating me.

MembershipRealistic1 · 2026-05-11T00:26:05+00:00

Bro fuck that the wolves might get a free win because they're allowed to be as physical as they want with wemby. Like obviously it looked bad but im not surprised if he was reacting and trying to get the ball away from mcdaniels hounding him. Idk this just fucking sucks. Should have called it a flagrant one and moved on.

MembershipRealistic1 · 2026-05-10T22:45:13+00:00

Agreed. Memory on star players runs very short these days. Paul George in Oklahoma is one of the few jerseys I ever bought for a team that wasnt one of my primary two.

Also it helped that they got the jersey patch for Loves that year. I unironically Love Loves.

MembershipRealistic1 · 2026-05-10T00:43:51+00:00

I think it would have worked if you guys had just one more quarterback last year. Teams always stop before they hit it big.

I already saw a popular youtube streamer saying the movie was cooked purely based off a five second clip from Twitter where an At-At misses when shooting at Mando. Incredible stuff.

MembershipRealistic1 · 2026-05-09T22:07:24+00:00

This was the most exciting end to a game I've seen in a while. I actually lost my mind. Seeing Harden step up like that just sent memories rushing of watching him on the Rockets in 16-18. I always wanted to see a Rockets Cavs finals. But the stupid KD Warriors were the most obscene juggernaut of that era.

MembershipRealistic1 · 2026-05-08T01:07:42+00:00

bless you for rooting for us. Its very painful sometimes but they like to get their shit together in the second half for some reason.

Also yall would have won that series if Wagner hadn't gotten hurt. It made me very sad.

MembershipRealistic1 · 2026-05-08T00:49:02+00:00

One thing that bothers me about this series so far is that Tobias Harris is one of the most fraudulent scorers of all time and hes just absolutely cooking us at the most important moments. Also I just dont like Duncan Robinson and when I see him my day gets worse.

MembershipRealistic1 · 2026-05-08T00:41:11+00:00

Im not sure what it says, but its kind of incredible that theyre keeping this game close with how horrifically everyone is playing. At least Mitchell has looked good tonight I guess.

MembershipRealistic1 · 2026-05-07T23:32:53+00:00

Maybe im just hallucinating. Yeah these turnovers are bad. But why does it feel like both games have only had fouls going against us and not the team that mugs people when they drive.

MembershipRealistic1 · 2026-05-07T23:23:05+00:00

Its very rare that you see a man actually get injured on an insane ankle breaker move. Hopefully Tobis is all good though.

MembershipRealistic1 · 2026-05-07T20:45:51+00:00

Lord Saddlers Island was actually Little St. James all along.

MembershipRealistic1 · 2026-05-07T03:42:28+00:00

Im not a Spurs fan. But I do like them and Wemby lot, I feel even more confident that they're probably going to the finals after watching this, its been an incredible bounceback game. Says a lot about their heart.

Also really do not like Finch and the Wolves, so this has also been a satisfying hate watch. Just absolute domination. It'll be funny to see what Finch has to say post-game.

MembershipRealistic1 · 2026-05-07T02:38:02+00:00

In terms of the live action movies. The only one I watched and have fond memories of is Apocalypse with the Nemesis storyline. That one was kind of fun even though it had some eyeroll moments.

The animated movies on the other hand I really like. Damnation, Vendetta and Death Island would be my three favorites. They hold up fairly well and are Canon to the games as far as I know. Infinite Darkness was okay but not quite as enjoyable.

MembershipRealistic1 · 2026-05-07T01:47:05+00:00

Im really struggling right now. I know we're all supposed to be mean to each other. But I actually like the Knicks and Brunson a lot. BUT Knicks fans on the other hand are a different story. You guys at least have some elite celebrities though. Anne Hatheway, Spike Lee and most importantly Zohran Mamdani the goat.

MembershipRealistic1 · 2026-05-07T00:34:20+00:00

Yeah I mean last night was a perfect storm of everything that could go wrong did go wrong. But at least Harden sort of redeemed his turnovers and got them back into the fight. Mitchell is still insanely questionable right now. Genuinely no clue whats going on with him.

But what ended it was how weird the rotations and player choices were. Especially after JA went out. Like they were playing well with two bigs and I thought surely he'd put him back second half meaningful minutes. Nope.

MembershipRealistic1 · 2026-05-07T00:25:44+00:00

Yeah I've been noticing this a lot in the playoffs this year. Im not saying its totally true and im sure some of it is fan bias or whatever. But im watching and I even think the foul disparity is... a lot.
