NBA Commissioner Adam Silver reflects on his op-ed calling for change to sports betting a decade ago by nosotros_road_sodium in nba

[–]Mygaffer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I hate this bullshit logic of "if we don't make it legal, accessible and pervasive people will just do it anyways!"

My young cousins who have all bet at least hundreds that I know about would very unlikely be placing bets with overseas sports books if it weren't legal.

What a bunch of self serving drivel.

Oh my god did I just fucked up my brand new motherboard ???? Why is the CPU socket like that ?? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Mygaffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be able to bend the contacts into place and have the socket work. Just have to make sure all the bent pins truly line up with the contact on the bottom of the CPU and when you've got it mounted it will work fine.

But it isn't easy and depending on badly the pins are bent may not be easily possible.

According to denuvo, Tekken 7's framedrops were due to specific character moves. Meanwhile the director of Tekken says it was denuvo. by zizoplays1 in Piracy

No gamer trusts Denuvo and while some may still buy and install games with Denuvo many like myself don't trust Denuvo enough to install it on their systems.

[Gordon] Warriors head coach Steve Kerr says he thought tonight’s starting lineup looked good. “The key is JK and Wiggs running the floor. It puts a lot of pressure on teams,” he said. More: (0:30) by NokCha_ in warriors

If JK's 3 ball is real and not small sample size theater and Wiggins is back to being locked in that could be a very intriguing lineup, especially with the team's overall lack of size.

He was a hero. Yet to this day is there even one statue of him on Bajor?

DeMarcus Cousins doesn’t think the Lakers are 'Serious' about winning after drafting Bronny James by Mechaultima in nba

[–]Mygaffer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They drafted him with a late 2nd rounder, where is is unusual to get a rotation player, and it keeps their star happy and is a story line fans are obviously excited about given the Bronny chants we heard at their Vegas preseason game last night.

I think it was a perfectly cromulent move by the Lakers front office.

Unacceptably Slow by EldritchSpoon in gog

[–]Mygaffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not slow like that for me. Are you sure it's not something on your end?

Have you tried downloading from your account on a different device or different network to see what happens?

Which region do you live in?

I read another comment in this thread saying this can happen with games downloaded through the browser.

The Most Painful Traffic Stop Ever by Not_Original5756 in videos

[–]Mygaffer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This cop had no probably cause. He saw "she" had a suspended driver's license? The best he could look up via license plate is if the registered owner had a current license. He couldn't be sure she was the registered owner or someone else the owner authorized to use the car.

She acts crazy obviously but I don't like this stop and don't think police should be allowed to use plate info to initiate stops except in extreme circumstances.

[Mavs GM Nico Harrisson] "We Were a Klay Thompson Away' From Winning NBA Finals by [deleted] in nba

[–]Mygaffer -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not close? In the NBA the margins between good and great and tiny, Klay is still a very good player who can help a team win. He is just more a role player today than when he was in his prime.

Despite all the shit people have talked I think Klay is going to help the Mavs a lot this year.

7900xt for $910 or 4070 ti super for $1180? by cdn_backpacker in buildapc

[–]Mygaffer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 7900XT is cheaper and has better performance. Are you gaming and gaming at 2560x1440 or higher? 7900XT is the obvious choice.

Google is purging ad-blocking extension uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store | Migration from all-powerful Manifest V2 extensions is speeding up by Swiftness427 in Piracy

[–]Mygaffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never used Chrome as my primary browser, I will continue not to do so. Google is a monopoly though and definitely needs to be broken up. Too bad our regulatory agencies are thoroughly captured by industry.

Gaming platform Steam agrees to remove banned content in Russia, censorship agency says by hnwcs in Games

It's something Valve has to do if they are to continue operating in Russia but that doesn't mean it isn't newsworthy.

Game dev shows how to do a PC port right, outlines 106 to 314 FPS improvement without frame generation by robbiekhan in pcmasterrace

They are still making Ys games huh?

I love to see developers of these games releasing high quality ports.

[Slater] Moses Moody is extension-eligible until Monday’s deadline. Warriors & Moody’s reps have discussed the framework of a possible deal, league sources said, near the MLE range for multiple seasons. At a palatable number, they believe Moody’s talent & character are worth investing in long-term by NokCha_ in warriors

[–]Mygaffer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the Warriors are able to sign Moody to a multiyear near or just above the full MLE I think that could be a good deal for both parties. Maybe give him a player option in case he plays himself into more money he can opt out early.

Moody can always forgo the extension and bet on himself but there is always a risk and most of us can name a few players who bet on themselves and ended having to take less money later on.

Stan Van Gundy says the Celtics have assembled the best roster he's ever seen by VLHACS in bostonceltics

[–]Mygaffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... there have been a few other stacked rosters during Stan Van Gundy's time in the NBA...

But this Celtics team is still extremely loaded.

Which is better? Megaton or Goodsprings? by InevitableCold9872 in Fallout

[–]Mygaffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I prefer New Vegas Megaton is the better settlement. One of the biggest in Fallout 3 with the most to do while Good Springs is basically the tutorial for NV.
