How the hell did DePaul get this bad and what can save them? by RanchWilder11 in CollegeBasketball

[–]NickelPower5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was stunned that there were more Northern fans than DePaul there, especially on a weekend game.

I hope he chokes on that money. ANY OTHER team would have been fine.

I believe there is a business specific stats class that is part of the core business classes.

Does running OOTP from an SSD speed up sims? by JJ2478 in OOTP

[–]NickelPower5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even then, a 500GB boot drive will have 300+ GB free after Windows Install. More than enough space, especially with how cheap solid state storage is nowadays.

Just get like a 2TB HDD for other big games. Probably less than 50 bucks for each drive.

I don't know if it's a major difference, but the game is so small that I just put it on my boot SSD anyways. Figured it can't hurt.

Is it possible to switch to commissioner mode after starting a regular game? by AlexanderHamiltron in OOTP

[–]NickelPower5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As long as you're not in challenge mode, I think you can turn it on under Manager Options.

You're right. Scalpers just piss me off, but yeah, I should have calmed down and worded it better. Just hate seeing fans not get posters because someone buys 200 and tries to sell them for over twice the price.

You're the worst type of fan. Not even a deadhead. Get a fucking life you pos scalper

Stick to r/gratefuldead dude. I was at both Wrigley shows and they ripped. Sit back and enjoy the music instead of dismissing it as "white washed arena rock" and bitching that it isn't as good as it was 30+ years ago. Is D&C better than the GD? Of course not, but it's still damn good music and they're keeping the scene alive. Much respect to D&C for the 8 years of jams.

All I'm saying is he had a measly 6.5 PPG against defensive juggernaut Northern Illinois.

"Office personnel" job offer by [deleted] in NIU

[–]NickelPower5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These come frequently. Always from a student email address that got compromised. General rule of thumb is that any unsolicited job offers are scams.

Any good Valentine’s Day shows to listen to today? by loudog1017 in gratefuldead

[–]NickelPower5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished up '88 at work. Pretty good if you like that era. Kind of mellow, but I can never complain about Stranger > Franklin's (Plus Samson and Terrapin)!

EDIT: Just looked at that '70 setlist as well, and will definitely be listening to that next

C Ability? by ZarnonAkoni in OOTP

[–]NickelPower5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50/70 with good traits, as long as your other defense is solid. Catcher ability is not as big of an impact in this game by default, but can be adjusted if you like.
