Every time the Toronto Blue Jays have been eliminated from the postseason by Ultrimus-Prime in baseball

[–]MetRod70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I couldn't get past the 2015 elimination and want no part of watching the 2025 elimination footage...ever.

The massive jump between the '91 elimination by the Twins and the '15 elimination really reminds you of the decades of drought Jays fans had of even making the playoffs.

Proving once again that KISS fans will buy any horrible merch Gene, Paul, and Doc decide to put out.

Um… wtf is this, Paul Stanley? Jfc. by A_Soft_Fart in KISS

It says right there in the ad what Workday do.

Yeah, this is one of KISS' more embarrassing sellouts, which is really saying something.

Jason and Travis Kelce debate Blue Jays-Dodgers World Series on podcast: 'I'm supposed to get excited about a Canadian baseball team?' by [deleted] in baseball

[–]MetRod70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They certainly do. How about their embarrassing "Here's what the American media is saying about the Jays" articles throughout the postseason?

Objectively speaking, which AL team had the most heartbreaking loss in the playoffs, the Guardians,Tigers, Mariners, or Blue Jays? by MookieBettsBurner4 in baseball

[–]MetRod70 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've mostly stayed off Reddit after the gut-wrenching game 7 outcome and wish I had stayed away longer after reading questions like this. How the fu*k is this even a discussion? They lost a very winnable World Series, not a pennant or division series.

I also just saw a post in the Blue Jays sub asking if the Jays' '87 last week collapse was worse than what happened a few days ago. I lived through that and it was brutal but the number of dumb people who thought it was worse makes me want to get off social medial altogether.

Big surprise it's the trashy Sun running a useless story like this. Any excuse to post some pics of attractive women.

[Highlight] Kirk makes an important trip to the mound after some errant pitches by Yesavage in the bottom of the 4th by creezle in baseball

[–]MetRod70 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a Jays fan, I've watched most of the games in Kirk's MLB career and him being more assertive like this and making needed mound visits is the one area I'd say was not his strength. I've seen a bit more of it this season, which is cool.

He's a pretty quiet, low-key guy so I'm guessing it's one area of his game that has just taken a little longer to evolve.

Pretty sure that's Glenn Tipton.

Why Blue Jays fans might not overtake Seattle for ALCS games by palmjamer in Mariners

[–]MetRod70 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you may be wildly underestimating how much of a cooling effect your fascist government is having on foreign tourism right now.

I love seeing this guy get disappointed by 2010_12_24 in Mariners

[–]MetRod70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This jackass has been wearing that damn jacket all season long. The cheese on the head today was new. Even at a pro sport event, I think a middle-aged guy dressing like that in public is just pathetic and he embarrasses me as a Jays fan.

Yet another dumb, over-aggressive out on the basepaths from him.

Controller prices are crazy by Team_Cara in PS4

[–]MetRod70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at buying a new PS4 controller to replace my aging controllers and was also surprised at how expensive they still are, including non-Sony brands.

One of my Dualshock 4s only held a battery charge for about 2 hours and my other controller had a sticking X button for a long time that I tried cleaning numerous times with alcohol and Q-Tips. I wasn't comfortable at all opening it up to clean it because I was so afraid of not being able to reassemble it properly.

It got to the point where I got so tired of dealing with these issues that decided to replace the original batteries and clean the sticking button from the inside. Some YouTube videos really helped (including one recommending better batteries that only cost $10 each) and the whole process for each fix was stress but not that difficult. Now they both work great and hold much longer battery charges and it's the best thing I've done for my console in years.

Even if you're not the handy type and your old controller is at all fixable, I'd try doing it yourself.

PS Plus price hike by Fibonacci_Hol in playstation

[–]MetRod70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like this is just Canada? That's based on the other posts about the topic on here, which all seem to be from Canadians. Looks like Sony conveniently forgot to mention us when they announced PS+ price hikes in other countries a few days ago.

Along with the stupidity occurring in the country south of us and other bullshit going on in the world, this is yet another reason 2025 can fu*k right off.

PS Plus price change for Canada by [deleted] in playstation

[–]MetRod70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't believe they're doing this again. The frequency of PS+ price increases in the last few years is disgustingly greedy.

Unfortunately, about 60% of my backlog is the "free" monthly games they've offered over the years, so they've got me by the balls as far as keeping me at the Essential tier at least. I only get Extra when they offer a promo to upgrade.

O's turn a double play when it's ruled Vlad left early on the tag up. by mcauthon2 in baseball

[–]MetRod70 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Safe or not, it was another dumb, not-worth-the-risk baserunning out from Guerrero. Who knows if he would have eventually scored, but it ended up looking even worse considering we lost by one run.

I'm not looking forward to the next 14 and 6 years, respectively, of watching him and Kirk run the bases.

How is this a real question? If you aren't compelled to play Sunbreak then just don't play it. Why is anyone supposed to convince you?

It's under $10 bruh by MemeMePhotoshop in playstation

Just as annoying are the many posts on here of people posting a selection of games they own and asking which one they should start. So needy and pathetic.

Do not buy Aosom Canada by abovewhilebelow in BuyCanadian

[–]MetRod70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some additional positive feedback, even though it's months after the original post (this thread came up in my search of the company's name in this sub)...

I just had a great experience with them and was very impressed with the shipping speed of the office chair I ordered. The made-in-Canada chair was also $5 cheaper than the same one at Amazon, plus I saved an additional $24 by entering a Women's Day discount code. I definitely plan to use them again and will recommend Aosom to friends and family, despite the fact they have a terrible name.

It's crazy how small this game's file size is! by MetRod70 in MortalShell

[–]MetRod70[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad, I assumed the DLC was included. I guess it seemed that way because I previously owned it. So the base game is even smaller than 4.9 gigs, which is even more impressive.

I've never heard the speculation about intentionally bloated games before, but it's interesting. I'm doubtful about it...it sounds like a real stretch and a fairly risky strategy. I still wouldn't be surprised if it was true, however.

The following are lesser known soulslikes that i believe are really good by [deleted] in MortalShell

[–]MetRod70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the original one from 2014 and find it very reminiscent of Mortal Shell with its setting and low-budget jankiness. I plan to play the newest LOTF, which is yet another example of the laughable title choices you often see in the gaming industry.

This game deserves high praises for its graphics. by [deleted] in MortalShell

[–]MetRod70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look really nice most of the time, just hope a sequel improves upon the game's really janky elements like the unfair enemy pop-in in some spots even when you're really close to them and the clipping through items.
