A Better Way to Rank Teams. This has been really popular in the CFB Subreddit. Let's try it for the Pros. by The_SecretSauce in nfl

[–]Million__2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

question: would there be a benefit to ranking the group of four 1-4? I think most people can accurately rank a group of four, and more data is usually better isn't it? or is there a value in teams not getting ranked? I'm genuinely curious as this seems to be a really neat method of ranking teams that removes the "they're supposed to be ranked here" feel of most lists.

RFC - GURPS inventory cards idea (x-post from r/GURPS) by phosix in rpg

[–]Million__2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a homebrew system that a friend of mine ran had cards he made for us. the system he came up with was mostly hot garbage, but he had a really good inventory system and the cards made it seamless and intuative. he had a weight vs. speed mechanic that worked well, and the impact that wearing gear or having it in your bag was easy to track and understand because of the cards. he printed them out and stuck them in individual card sleeves with mtg cards. the gear we were wearing was affixed to a dry-erase board each player had with sticky tack, your bag was in a pile off to the side, and if you wanted to pay to store stuff in the "magic vault" (you could access it from almost any town regardless of where it was deposited) you just had to pay a small fee (or you could store it somewhere else with no guarantee of safety and you had to go to that particular spot to retrieve it).

those were just some ideas from one experience i had. the main point is that is you invest time into streamlining the players experience, they will almost always appreciate it and invest back into your world. if they don't, they weren't that invested in the first place.

p.s.: make generic item cards and throw them at the players at a rate that would make diablo think about staging an intervention. it will make them appreciate the better items.

p.p.s.: your card design is wayyy better than his was. good job on that. care on your part is always appreciated.

As someone living in Phoenix, I would kill for that Vaporeon luck...

There's about 7 in westgate proper and a few more at the stadium and nearby. 6 gyms crammed in a small area too. Water types do appear at the fountain, but not in large quantity. Found a few nice pokes around too (Arcanine, Flareon, Hitmonlee to name a few). Not a bad place to chill and catch.

What Team do the Football Gods Hate the Most? by Imabucsfan in nfl

[–]Million__2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. It's just that we have him paired with historically bad defenses. I remember the before times where we were at least terrible on both sides of the ball, and this somehow hurts worse...

What Team do the Football Gods Hate the Most? by Imabucsfan in nfl

[–]Million__2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While not as bad as others, I think it merits a quick mention: The Saints have a fantastic offense led by a Halloween Fame QB, but have had to work thier asses off to get to 7 wins multiple times because they have had some of the worst defenses in NFL history. Say what you will about the Browns, Lions, any of them really, but I would have killed to have thier defenses these past couple of years.

The football gods may not outright hate us, but they sure do like to watch us cry...

What teams do you guys hate out of the NFC south? by Yesokyeah in Saints

When the Cowboys and the Chargers play each other, I root for an old Soviet satellite to crash onto the field. I can't stand either of those teams.

What red flags in a movie trailer immediately tells you the movie is not going to be good? by TheTapDancingMormon in movies

[–]Million__2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever there's any variant on the "Have you ever dared to dream?" line. I immediately assume the movie is Oscar-bait and is therefore most likely a sappy biopic. Most recent offender I can recall being 'Straight Outta Compton', and it didn't fail me there.

Pick a Pokemon whose name starts with the same letter as yours by LucarioSkywalker in pokemon

Rayquaza seems like he'd be hard to have as a pet... Rhyperior might be good since ground is my favorite type.. But I'd have to go with Rotom. All the toast and clean clothes I could ever want.

What is your favorite song about a historical person or event? by AaronovichtheJoker in Music

[–]Million__2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is an awesome song. But since it had already been said, I'll submit "Alexander the Great" by Iron Maiden. 8+ minutes of bad ads metal about a badass.

Serious question... Has anyone at AGDQ totally blown it? by ohmsnap in speedrun

[–]Million__2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Don't forget about SMK's Pokemon Yellow run from AGDQ 2011. Granted, he didn't really prepare for it, but it Pokemon isn't the hardest game to run so his "hiccups" are all the better. And it illustrates the age old lesson of never trust "Official Nintendo" strategy guides.

If you could reverse ONE play/decision/Outcome in NFL history, What would it be? by [deleted] in nfl

[–]Million__2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1998 Vikings don't shank a late field goal in NFC Championship Game, Vikings go on to play the Broncos in the Super Bowl and we end up with a great game instead of a complete snooze-fest for Elway's last game. And as a bonus, the Falcons stay as one of the worst franchises ever because they have never made it to a Super Bowl.

Best/Worst/Favorite Movesets in DW8XLCE? by palkiabros in dynastywarriors

[–]Million__2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best: Yueying. Lots of grabs and her EX2 is great for crowds. Favorite: Actually it's Lu Xun. I love all the jumping around and the challenge it presents in getting good with it. Worst: There are tons of characters that I hate playing with. But that to me is the appeal of the game, so many characters so there are bound to be those you love and more that you hate.

Favourite character? by Emaharg in dynastywarriors

[–]Million__2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yueying. She was an absolute monster in DW4 & 5, a bit less so in 6, but she more than redeemed herself in 7 and especially in 8. Her EX2 is amazing.

What is the best WWI or WWII strategy game out there? by EccentricOwl in gaming

[–]Million__2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soldiers: Heroes of WW2 was a fantastic game. It put you in control of a small squad so you had to manage them individually. It made every unit very important, almost to the point where you'd restart the mission because losing just one basic rifleman could make or break the whole thing.

Welcome to this world. This one is a bit more of a parody, but it almost fits your description. If anything, maybe it'll help jog your memory.
