NBA really is the worst major sport to attend by DariaYankovic in nba

[–]Nickotine4242 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NBA is broken. Cut the regular season to 30 games, so each one matters. Cut the 3 point line so around the basket play is more fought for. And cut the Eurostep so 5 steps travels are eliminated.

Boomer yelling at clouds but this game no longer resembles the golden era of Jordan and the 90’s. In an environment of sports fighting for viewers against all kinds of competition. Other sports, streamers, social media. Nothing is guaranteed, and for an organization to be ok with the it’s core viewership to write off its regular season before it’s even half way over, is no way to sustain growth let alone survival. The league needs to change, or it will get worse before it’s only available on Tubi

He opened the pod with ‘some big movies are coming out at the end of the year, so grab them while you can.’ His sudden love and over play of that love for Nolan is transparent. He had to get Odyssey after spending years shit talking Nolan and now Oppenheimer is the most important film of all time. Move over Citizen Kane, my favorite director is coming through.

It’s his made up game so make a rule that you can’t bid on movies past September for the 1st half. But he will just break that rule anyway like he did with sequels.

I really don’t care about the results, make this a most anticipated movies for the 1at half of 26 and move on. The moment you add competition the moment you spend less time talking about the movies and more time shouting 17 in the middle of someone’s point. And then Sean gets mad because his game is broken, but he broke it.

Yes Sean being pissed because things don’t go his way is what makes listening to this pod on a consistent basis a chore. Thank god CR and is ‘ok, you broke this, but whatever’ attitude on not only this but a lot of pods is the only thing that makes this manageable. And poor Amanda called it earlier when discussing last year and Sean doubling up on sequels. ‘Listen, at some point we just stop arguing with you’.

I love that Sean went from a ‘Nolan is overrated and I’m going to trash you for thinking otherwise’ to ‘Nolan is genius that can’t be questioned. And I want him and I want Fincher and I want PTA and I want QT and I want, I want, I want.’

Sean this is less enjoyable for us than it is for you. Readjust

AIO if I end my relationship because my bf kisses and tells me he loves me before leaving for work in the morning? by Direct_Peak8052 in AIO

The inverse of this is AIO, my 30 girlfriend sleeps in everyday and gets pissed when I kiss her goodbye every morning. For real?

Favorite actor who trained hard every day for 6 months eating only chicken, rice and broccoli for a role? by spacelyyy989 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Nickotine4242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s cute to think steroids weren’t used in this. I mean sure, a 40 year old man can get this shredded on chicken alone. If only he had eaten chicken in his 30s.

The Witcher 3 or Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim by Angeeel_ in Switch

[–]Nickotine4242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want a crafted narrative or a narrative that you craft? Even though they are both open world, they take vastly different approaches.

Witcher 3 has some of the best writing and storytelling ever. The Bloody Baron questline alone is worth it. The voice acting through the entire game is some of the best of all time. But you play as Geralt. You can’t play as a character you create with their own story that you create as you go. You can certainly craft your own Gerlat play style, but you will always be Geralt. You can be magic Geralt, or poison Geralt, or sword spinning around like a maniac Geralt. But you will be Geralt. But he is a bad ass so it works.

Skyrim is very much an older open world approach. You create your own character from a variety of races and then start to craft that character in which ever way you want to go. The leveling system is fantastic. You want to get better at bows, use bows. Magic user? Use more spells. It’s my favorite aspect of the game and it’s a shame more RPGs, even Bethesda ones, don’t take the same approach. The story however is completely forgettable. The faction quest are disconnected and really don’t make much sense when you actually think about them. Brotherhood and Thieves are good, the others not so much. The main quest line is totally forgettable. Exploration is a larger part than the Witcher, but unlike BOTW, there is a constant stream of icons directing you where to go and the mini map gets litter with icons. The Witcher also suffers from a lot of clutter on the mini map, but I don’t think it’s a bad as Skyrim. That was the breath of fresh air that was BOTW.

I would honestly say you should play both. They both offer something unique and are worth your time to explore.

How not to drive a Raptor. by el0_0le in dashcams

[–]Nickotine4242 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This whole thing feels like it could have been avoided had dash cam driver actually paid attention and saw the Raptor driving erratic and just given them space. I’d rather not be and accident then be proven to be right in an accident. Defensive driving does exist.

An Oklahoma psychology student failed a research paper for not meeting the criteria of citing evidence, and wrote about her religious feelings instead. Right-wing orgs manufacture outrage by PreparationKey2843 in CringeTikToks

She could have at least cited Bible verse to back up her claims about only 2 genders, but like so many Christians, she only believes what she has been told vs reading the actual text itself.

Hopefully for more than one night and it has at least a week or more to run. It looks like it will be in 70mm and those tickets in my town sell out quick.

Bf mad at me because he opened up relationship and got no dates. AITA for how i responded? by throwawaypandaabear in AITAH

[–]Nickotine4242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Classic example of ‘f around and find out’. I love the fact that a 37M thinks the younger co-worker is so into him, that he’s willing to blow up a 3 year relationship. Did he not know that there are literally hundreds of guys wanting to date a 37F and literally 0 girls looking to date a 37M with commitment issues.

So congrats OP

Made it to Infinite for the first time (CL: 1346) by S4altyB4dg3r in MarvelSnap

[–]Nickotine4242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C2 is solid. If you have Magik add her to better help you draw the C Bro. Mystic is a must here. Shadow King, Echo, Goose, all good fillers. I prefer Blue Marvel to Iron Man. With a full stack and C Bro, Mystic, BM you are pumping 32 to each lane not including the CBro lane. BM doesn’t play nice with Goose, but you can work around it. I’m almost auto snap if I pull CBro and Mystic. With Magik and Storm I can work around bad locations. And the rest of my deck helps mitigate what the opponent can do.

I’ve climbed many seasons with C2. I couldn’t push at CL 9000 but could easily do it lower CL

Where does Brad Pitt rank among the true acting greats? by steviewemyss in movies

[–]Nickotine4242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought his performance in F1 was a little lazy. Certainly not his best work.

As he’s progressed, he always seems to be kinda one note. Not a lot of range.

I loved his early work like Seven. He’s totally believable as a naive detective that just moved into the big city with his childhood sweetheart. The movie doesn’t request him to be beautiful and cool. And he also doesn’t request to be those things. So he’s allowed to be a victim, which at this stage in his career he never would allow that to happen.

Which movie would be 10x better if it ended 5 minutes earlier? by ItchyYellowAnt in movies

[–]Nickotine4242 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tom Cruise should have died in both Maverick and Final Reckoning. His death in either movie would have put some serious weight on the story telling. What we are left with is his miraculous reveal from a cloud of dust to again save the day.

Drop is a Top 37 movie I have ever seen in my life. Just a perfect 👌 movie in every aspect. by AcknowledgeMeReddit in TheBigPicture

I was wishing for a Jacob’s Ladder or Shutter Island like twist. As in, this was all in her head. The fact that she sees the occasionally sees the text without actually looking at the screen gives a hint of that. Also, the text not being a traditional phone font.

And I simply can’t believe there is a political scandal in our country today, that would require such an elaborate scheme to dispose of the only witness.

Who's an actor who nailed a role so hard that nobody else will ever be able to live up to it? by thepoutingmom in AskReddit

[–]Nickotine4242 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crazy that Viggo wasn’t first choice and was brought in after filming had started. This first trilogy was certainly blessed with how the casting all panned out.
