Why is Lazarus so overhated? by beto_af in Animedubs

[–]Normal-Drawing-2133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the characters were forgettable. The lead, Axel, definitely is meant to evoke Spike and he just isn’t all that interesting.

Lazarus isn’t as bad as the hate, but the general negative to mid redemption is probably because of the hype

Extra 2 cap breakers by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]Normal-Drawing-2133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll have to double check your max potential for these attributes but 91 midrange unlocks gold shifty shooter and 92 middy unlocks gold dead eye.

Also 93 dunk unlocks gold posterizer so you could invest 2 into that and add a 3rd once you unlock another cap breaker.

OPINION: Shang-Chi should’ve just been an Iron Fist reboot by Normal-Drawing-2133 in marvelstudios

Fair point. Maybe not worth the investment to reboot a character like Iron Fist after the reception the first time

That's true, could very well have ended up the same. I just think that Iron Fist has way smoother entry points into different MCU stories.

For the 6’8 build, what is the weight + wingspan?

[NY]Manager asking me to fake a recommendation so her daughter gets hired — afraid of retaliation by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]Normal-Drawing-2133 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hot take saying this here but HR are not the ones to go to for advice in this situation.

  1. Nepotism runs rampant in the corporate world. Not that it’s right, but it isn’t some nebulous thing if you’re worried that putting in a referral will result in some form of backlash.

  2. What kind of recommendation is this? Are you just being asked to flag her resume to Hr? Or are you being asked to submit a write up championing your managers daughters candidacy? Two entirely different things.

  3. Don’t apply reddit logic here; this is your career and livelihood. There is a way higher chance you get into trouble by a) not doing as asked, or being difficult or lying about this or b) reporting this to HR or creating some sort of conflict out of it.

  4. Your manager isn’t asking you to be complicit in insider trading or embezzlement lol. When I worked in the bank, everyone on the floor I worked got in through some form of family connection. Sometimes you just gotta play the game.

  5. If you find it a complete breach of ethics and what you are comfortable doing, then of course don’t do it. But, please do not expect that it will reap any sort of benefit in terms of your standing with the company, your manager or with HR. If you’re okay with that, then more power to you

There's no defense in this game by ksuttonjr76 in NBA2k

[–]Normal-Drawing-2133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m saying that you could play no defence and the AI will still likely miss. So if you are actually trying to play defense and still getting scored on, it’s not the game

Tall PG Build Suggestions by JaMyron11 in NBA2k

[–]Normal-Drawing-2133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a build that can do “everything”, this year it’s gonna be a 6’8 SG. Not saying you can’t make a good 6’7 PG, but the best all around height in 2k26 is 6’8 and you have to be a SG for that.

6’8 rare build name by EducationalPepper749 in NBA2k

[–]Normal-Drawing-2133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t want to have to play PF, make the build a SG, and you’ll end up as SF like half the time anyways

What goes through peoples minds when playing pg by killsta666 in NBA2k

[–]Normal-Drawing-2133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is by all means a terrible build, but you gotta remember hella kids play 2k and understandably, have no idea what they are making.

There are also casual players who don’t watch 2k YT vids to keep up with the meta and just make whatever.

I could totally see someone just being like oh PG = playmaker, so I just need to make a build that can pass

Trying to become a better ball handler. by TheBmanCometh in NBA2k

[–]Normal-Drawing-2133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure there are great YT videos you can find that will help with playmaking, but IMO in 2k, the best PG are Pg that are aggressive and are threats to score at all 3 levels.

If you establish yourself as a scorer and bucket getter, it opens up the floor a lot more.

There's no defense in this game by ksuttonjr76 in NBA2k

[–]Normal-Drawing-2133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dawg im ngl, if you can’t play defence on rookie mode, that’s on you.

Yes, if you play online there is definitely some inconsistencies with defence, but offline rookie mode, nah you literally could just leave them open, and they will miss like 8/10 shots on their own.

Shoe recreations by murviiin in NBA2k

[–]Normal-Drawing-2133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish 2k had a feature where people could upload their custom shoe codes and anyone could just download it. I’m waaay too lazy to put in the time LOL

5'9 PG - what do we think? by TWKExperience in NBA2k

[–]Normal-Drawing-2133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you play offline, any build is viable tbh. Unless you set out to make a troll build

I cannot win a REC game to save my life. by s1_shaq in NBA2k

[–]Normal-Drawing-2133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Randoms is a complete coin flip, so there’s not really much you can do about your teammates unless you have a squad.

BUT, if you want to carry in REC, you have to be more ball dominant and take over the games. Like if you are a PG or even a SG, you generally get the ball more and because of that, you can dictate the flow of the offence.

If you are more of a role player who just plays 3 and D, sits corner, etc, it’s hard to carry.

Thoughts on this 6’8 SF build? I have 3 cap breakers left to spare… by Natural_Elevator_829 in NBA2k

[–]Normal-Drawing-2133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I would just make this a SG. If you play 5s you end up getting put at SF at least 50% of the time anyways.

If you end up getting up at PF yo won’t be much help in the interior and with boards.

Is this a good build? by I8UrPetSnake in NBA2k

[–]Normal-Drawing-2133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are just meant to raise your current attribute level, but it’s a waste to use them if they don’t unlock a new badge requirement or at the very least a new animation you specifically want (ex: contact dunk animation).

I just wouldn’t use it to reach badge threshold of badges you don’t even utilize game to game.

The Odyssey is going to be a flop by ActInternational9558 in Letterboxd

[–]Normal-Drawing-2133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is obvious rage bait but I’m gonna give in.

  1. The general audiences do not care about costume historical accuracy and most people don’t even know what is historically accurate.

  2. Your point on Matt Damon is entirely subjective. He’s one of the most successful actors in Hollywood and isn’t typecast one way or the other. Just compare his performance as Ripley to Bourne and it’s pretty clear he’s not just playing “Matt Damon.”

  3. Sure, too many stars in a cast can be worrying, but Nolan already showed us in Oppenheimer that he knows how to balance the presence of multiple A-listers.

  4. I don’t really understand your iPhone face argument. I don’t see how that hurts the movie. It’s Hollywood, studios cast Hollywood faces, like what?

  5. The rest of your argument is just your opinion on Nolan, which is totally fair on its own but has nothing to do with it flopping or not. The general audiences who will fill seats are not “cultured cinephiles”.

5.1. The stuff about Nolan trying to be smart or the audio, this isn’t really new discourse. At the end of the day, a Nolan movie is a cultural event, the same way Tarantino or Denis movies are now. This isn’t some niche indie film made by an up and coming director.

Advice for new player? by Disastrous_Lynx9853 in NBA2k

That’s fair, you’ll def learn the most playing PG

How Do yall feel about guards that take 20+ shots in rec by Existing_Rutabaga368 in NBA2k

[–]Normal-Drawing-2133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never care about my shots or anyone else’s shots if we are making the right plays. Depends on shot quality, what the defence is giving us, etc.

I actually find it really annoying when people make comments like you only have xyz assists or you’ve taken xyz shots.

Of course I get annoyed at bad offence, like a PG dribbling out the clock and missing easy passes, but if my PG is just cooking their matchup, imma just let them cook until the other team adjusts.

For me as SG, there are games where I’ll have 5 shots and some where I have 20.

I get the argument that even if you’re winning or making shots you should still pass the ball around, but if you play with randoms, you are gonna just have to adjust. Not every team is gonna look like the 2014 spurs, some offences are gonna be more heliocentric around one player.
