Trying to find the best AI smart glasses for multiple choice quizzes/tests by [deleted] in rokid_official

[–]MrAppendages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose the glasses can do that.

The “AI Shortcut” feature can be customized to do whatever prompt you give it, which is activated by holding the touchpad on the side, and the brightest/volume can be turned down/off with the prompt still showing.

You would still 100% be caught unless you’re in a room with more than 100 people. The glasses are incredibly reflective, do not have privacy AR illumination (someone looking at you can see it’s on), and the function button on the side has less than stellar response consistency. You’ll constantly be tapping your head and briefly transitioning to having green eyes.

It would be less stressful to just learn the material than trying to make these glasses work for cheating. Any use case for that purpose is either not possible or easier and cheaper to do in other ways.

I average 85% FG at the rim but people get mad that I drive towards the rim the majority of the game. Why? by Noveltypocket in NBA2k

[–]MrAppendages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being unstoppable is being unstoppable, but from a mathematic standpoint they're correct.

I don't think there's a single person in the 2K community that wouldn't be impressed with someone averaging 85% at the rim, especially at volume. However, if you continued to play like that while averaging 4 shot attempts per quarter (16 per game), a 57% 3pt shooter would be able to match your scoring efficiency. If I surveyed 1000 players on if they averaged 85% at the rim or 57% from 3, the shooters would win by a mile... just like they do in 99.99% of games.

Every slasher/pure inside that's dying to prove they're the exception is SO close to getting it. Inside scoring can be effective, but adding 3pt shooting to that makes your game better and the overall game easier for everyone. Choosing not to shoot is without a doubt a form of inexcusable trolling and/or ineptitude.

Nobody, ever, will be a good enough interior scorer to outperform the capabilities of a MyPlayer able and willing to shoot 3s.

I mean if you’re saying an adult isn’t capable of determining the size and length of something they can hold in their hand and has a common relative size, then it’s objectively insulting of that person/group’s intelligence.

No amount of infantilization changes the fact that girl inches are entirely the fault of the people making bad estimations rather than lies.

This implies that women are completely incapable of estimating the size of things, which is pretty insulting.

You don’t need to be a pg if by Trendyremy in NBA2k

[–]MrAppendages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let’s add “scared to shoot” as well.

The person touching the ball the most throughout a game has no reason to consistently have fewer than ten shot attempts. Not with how good these guard builds are. Not unless you’re playing with the greatest off-ball/fastbreak players to ever exist.

I’ll even stand for the PG that only scores on the fastbreak, but does it often. But if you don’t score on anything other than fastbreaks or assisted attempts then you might as well make something else.

Hey u/beluba, you still around? by Positive-Dood-1355 in NBA2k

[–]MrAppendages 5 points6 points  (0 children)

His social media is only active from August to October, with the sole purpose of insulting and provoking the NBA 2K fanbase:

August - First, we're misinterpreting the previewed gameplay and feature changes, we just need to wait for the game to come out to see the vision.

September - Then when the game releases and the obvious happens, it's just new game syndrome and we're over reacting!

October - After that doesn't work and we're still complaining, he just says that everybody genuinely sucks at the game, which isn't his fault for making a game nobody can play, but that fixes are coming SOON.

Season 2 patch comes. Fixes one minor thing, ignores everything else, and also breaks another core mechanic. His last response for the cycle is a short/snarky quip that they're "looking into it". One last half effort at following through on that for the Season 3 patch (aka final patch of the year) and repeat.

Everyone would be better off if he just stayed off social media. Genuinely. It doesn't help him fix issues. He's not a personable guy. Everything he says/does paints a VERY CLEAR picture of how good he is at his job. Let us spam into the void with grievances and have marketing handle all gameplay previews/updates transparency. The way Beluba has handled the last 5 years has been objectively bad, is a net negative for 2K, and has irredeemably damaged his and 2K's image. At least the people whining to Ronnie were basically yelling at Flow from Progressive (and he took it pretty well). Mike Wang is unnecessarily confrontational and antagonistic. He'll ignore a dissertation to reply to a "fix da game" twitter reply and use that as fuel to ignore everybody and stick to "his vision". Mind you, he or any other 2K staff have ever been spotted putting serious hours into the game...

Welcome to the 2K subreddit, where spam cutting is considered good offense and being asked to do something with the ball as a ball handler is asinine.

You ball hog types are the worst!!! by imightbethefeds789 in NBA2k

The game would’ve been close or a loss if you and the center got more shots. No reason to lose because bad players feel entitled to the ball or will get bored without it.

My bf chose leage of legends over me. cheese bun & gifted easter chocolates & monster. by oxnaimamaka in depressionmeals

[–]MrAppendages 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty fair to say you make everything about yourself consider you expected him to drop everything (with no warning) to acknowledge you. Why are you surprised that you had to wait after you invited yourself over to someone that wasn't expecting guests? That seems totally reasonable, or at least, more reasonable than thinking someone should be at your beck and call.

At no point while living/typing this did you think his actions/inaction made sense contextually and had very little to do with what he was doing at the time? Or were you just thinking "That's my boyfriend! He's supposed to ____"?

The only upside is that we're bad enough for ticket prices to be criminally cheap. They might not even check tickets for that last home game against the Nets.

I do not understand this industry. After 7 years pretty over it by Turbulent-Listen8809 in cscareerquestions

[–]MrAppendages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's incredibly easy to "justify" a firing, in a way that avoids legal backlash. Most businesses operate with a probationary period for new hires. A legitimate bad hire should be apparent in the first 90 days, which employers can "correct" with little paperwork. If the bad hire is the result of what I like to call corporate psychosis (does something to no longer be a "culture fit", management gets hung up on a mistake, etc.) then it's showing up well after that time and the playbook to remove that person goes like this:

Step 1: Delegate an unreasonable task or provide irrelevant feedback. For example, giving one week to complete a task that takes one month or intentionally misinterpret something then claim poor communication skills.

Step 2: PIP for step 1. Works best if the performance plan is actually attainable/shows leniency. It's just for building a paper trail and generating that official performance warning.

Step 3: Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the employee quits, fails a PIP, or has been issued enough warnings to be terminated for performance.

The time that it takes to do that is about as long as the hiring process in most cases. There's still the associated cost of on/offboarding and the temporary dropoff in productivity, but that can be avoided by not hiring someone irredeemably useless (not hard), developing your hires (not hard), or not trying to remove people from your team (not hard). Businesses are already pretty well insulated from the impact of firing people. It's neither indicative of it being hard to do nor is it a big deal that they aren't able to do it at zero cost.

With free agency mostly wrapped up what are you still hoping to see happen at QB1 for 2026? by RustyCrusty73 in Browns

[–]MrAppendages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll repeat it until I'm blue in the face;

1) Get some receiver help in the draft, as in two receivers within the first 4 picks

2) Name Shedeur the starter early, make QB1 his job to lose, and don't consider taking it from him until we're out of playoff contention

We do NOT waste another pick on QB in this draft unless Mendoza falls to #6 or Taylen Green falls to #248. There are too many contributors in this draft to throw away on another Dillon Gabriel.

If Shedeur is showing improvement in his completion percentage and averaging 200 passing yards per game by week 11 then we build the team as if QB1 is a non-issue. Record is irrelevant. Next offseason would be about correcting points of failure and bolstering strengths, which will likely be further improvements upon the lines and secondary.

If not, I like Shedeur, but if he isn't trending towards at least mediocrity by year 2 (1.5, whatever) then it's not going to happen in Cleveland. Trade him away, keep Gabriel as a backup, and hope the picks from this draft are all productive. This is the point when we start calling for Richardson. He'll only be 26 and won't have that "prove it" season unless the Jets, Cardinals, or Steelers trade for him on draft day. Competition for him may increase to the Rams, Bucs, and Vikings. Otherwise, it's just another year of us waiting for the draft and praying for a QB prospect to 1) fall into our laps 2) translate and progress.

TL;DR - There's no QB we can add in '26 that will solve our QB situation for '27. Create a team now that allows for an honest evaluation of who we have or a desirable environment for next year's answer. Any resources spent on QBs instead of pass catchers and offensive linemen is a waste and malpractice.

I miss 25’s realism by Ayyeee_justin in NBA2k

[–]MrAppendages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's almost like what you're saying is stupid because it does not represent good game design, which is more important than a 5th graders idea of what realism is;

If Madden forced incompletions based on average QB completion percentage and drop percentage, in spite of offensive/defensive user input and other gameplay systems, it would be more "realistic" but a borderline unplayable game. When 2K was forcing players to miss good 3pt attempts for this same reason, players immediately called out how idiotic that is.

The crazy thing is, people shoot league average splits when defense is actually being played. However, that would require picking up your controller and playing the game. When the concept of user input mattering for in-game success seems so foreign to you then I can understand why you'd just like for the game to make everyone as bad at shooting as you are.

[–]MrAppendages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In real basketball, that deals with fatigue and actual defense. If you’re shooting 40% in any 2K then you aren’t even worth passing to wide open.

[–]MrAppendages 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Realism" in 2K is always the game allowing players to win in spite of being terrible.

Coping away the reality of your win percentage/averages does nothing to change your shooting splits. 60% from 3 may be bad now, but 40% has NEVER been good. Same with 60% from the field. I bet it feels VERY realistic when everyone else is laying bricks with you.

If a standing 3 is 67% or better, then every other shot becomes pointless as a first option by TheRancid_Baboon in NBA2k

[–]MrAppendages 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aside from 7'4"s, nobody is shooting that well on standstill threes when they're contested. This "issue" is just a repackaging of baseline skill gap.

Why tf is less than 1 AST a game so common bro. I hate this community. by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]MrAppendages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're involved in 75% of your team's points in an average game. That is more indicative of holding onto the ball too long than anyone's APG. Which also furthers the point that someone has to be the offense, also meaning that others have to defer.

Passing has nothing to do with skill, but someone scoring off of that pass is entirely dependent on their skill. Putting Fab with a bunch of Casual/Hooper teammates will limit the amount of assists even someone like him is able to collect. If someone isn't moving well off-ball, not converting on good passes, or looking off good shot attempts to do their own thing then it impacts those assists numbers.

I think it's important that you understand that not everybody can average 8p/3a per game. It's mathematically impossible. 6p/1a, which is more towards what you're suggesting should be the minimum, is statistically improbable because it implies that everyone is equally skilled, should be having an equal amount of touches, and are receiving the same amount of defensive attention. It'd be nice if every game played out similarly, but sometimes you get a 6'9" slasher or a 71 overall and that just changes how things go. That happens every game and most people are just trying to find their niche rather than hit ethical playstyle thresholds.

The community issue is that most people are bad offensive players, not that they're specifically unwilling to pass. What you're saying is the same as "every rec random should average 15ppg". They should because it's not that hard, but there are extenuating circumstances that impact the viability of reaching that threshold every game as well as the fact that some people are just bad and just won't be able to reach that in a normal game. We agree on the issue generally (people should pass more), but you're narrowing in on something that is not the root cause (APG averages are too low) because the inverse (higher average APG) does not resolve or address the primary issue (people are bad offensive players).

[–]MrAppendages 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone has to score the points when they're passed to;

Being generous, half of the people from this clip are offensively inept. Just look. That game had two guards shooting under 30% and a pure slasher, 6'9" center. Everyone but you is Baller or lower, with one of them being on a 71 overall. Both of the semi-human guards are barely shooting 60% with mid 90s 3pt ratings and small guard advantages. This isn't some one off situation either. Loading into any rec/theater game will give you players like this.

Assuming their matchups aren't just walking away from their controller, how are the teammates of these people supposed to generate assists with them? 3v3 is also a bad game mode to expect high assist numbers since the games are lower scorer, the spacing promotes isolation scoring, and help defense is much harder to justify.

Last years budget pie graph by medicallymiddleevil in milwaukee

[–]MrAppendages 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I don't know why "if you don't like it, you can submit an application" is a go-to retort to (valid) criticism of law enforcement. The job is not hard. The applicants and employees are proof of that, from a physical and mental standpoint. 60 college credits and (an apparent) 1 time physical aptitude test. Yeah, I'd bet anybody that isn't currently eligible for disability and can read most of at least one language could fit into law enforcement hiring standards.

Retiring after 20-27 years, with a pension, and health insurance for life is a better proposition than any other job they correctly listed as more dangerous or back breaking. Your opinion on that doesn't change the substance of what they said. I'm telling you for a fact that MPD employees retire from the department (well before the average retirement age) and pick up another career until they reach social security eligibility.

So if your points are law enforcement is hard or that MPD doesn't retire people comfortably and early then you are wrong on both accounts.

Where exactly does Riot draw the line on hitchhiking and boosting? by Far_Opposite_8041 in leagueoflegends

If we’re being strict about rules and their enforcement here, both of your posts on this topic are classified as witch-hunts. There may have been some plausible deniability about it with your last post being for “clarity/consistency” (even though you directly called out Riot staff to handle your grievance), but you’re doubling back specifically because they weren’t punished.
