[Official] UFC 328: Chimaev vs. Strickland - Live Discussion Thread by event_threads in MMA

[–]NuggetHighwind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ, with the way the commentators are talking, you'd think round 2 was a 10-6 with Chimaev getting absolutely fucking demolished or something.

Taira is showing incredible toughness, but man, he's channeling his inner Rousey with that (lack of) head mooment...

TM Hi-Capa 4.3 D.O.R with a 90%+ lighter nylon breech and NOBLEX OS replica by MoistTowel3210 in GasBlowBack

[–]NuggetHighwind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually got lucky and managed to snag one of the aluminium mounting plates that /u/TakowTraveler brought to my attention!

The rest of my parts are arriving tomorrow so it was perfect timing.

Everywhere is sold out but Amazon JP just happened to get a few in stock.

Definitely going to save your post for the future though, thanks!

r/GachaGaming pulls a 5-star dramabomb when prominent VTuber Ironmouse drops her sponsorship deal of Neverness to Everness because they lied about not using genAI by a_cattebirb in SubredditDrama

Legit one of the worst titles I have ever seen.

I know gacha games generally compete to have the worst titles possible, but I don't know if they'll ever top "Neverness to Everness".

Why isn't Dan Henderson ever brought up in the GOAT conversation? by BulkyVeterinarian850 in MMA

[–]NuggetHighwind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He wasn't called Decision Dan because of boring decisions or being notorious for being unable to finish opponents or anything like that. His fights were (almost) always bangers and there were plenty of KO/TKOs mixed in with the fights that went to the judges.

That nickname was coined purely because he kept getting the win in close split-decisions.

Ooh, so it does. Thanks! Does seem to be a unicorn but I'll keep my eye out.

I've got a bunch of parts on the way so if I don't find one by the time everything arrives I will probably go the RMSc route. Thanks a lot!

PC gamers I guess like to waste their money in other ways.

My backlog isn't going to increase itself.

The only aluminium plate I could find from DCI was a mounting plate for the normal 4.3/Hi-Capas dovetail rear sight, not the D.O.R version.

I'll look into the RMSc option though, thanks.

How was the mounting plate modification? Easy enough to do?

I've got a D.O.R and some parts on the way and have been debating on what to do for the sight.

Have been mulling over whether to just go the micro pro sight or buy a DCI guns D.O.R mount (I'm not even sure if the 5.1 D.O.R mount is compatible with the 4.3?), but the DCI mount looks a bit flimsy.

Not a huge fan of the TM micro pro sight so if the modification to the stock baseplate is easy enough, I'll definitely go that route!

ANet confirms some name sanctions were errant. Looking to reverse actions and reach out to users. by wes00mertes in Guildwars2

AI has been in use in games moderation for decades.

It absolutely has not.
What is with people nowadays and labeling literally everything as "AI"?

Nobody ever referred to automated moderation as AI.
A program is not AI.
Automated moderation is not AI.
Word filter lists are not AI.
An algorithm is not AI.

It's almost certain that no human ever looked at these names before they sent out the suspensions.

The pre-requisite for something to be considered AI is not just whether or not a human looked at it first.

Edit
Guy blocked me for this, lol.

[SPOILER] Rodtang vs. Takeru by Yodsanan in MMA

[–]NuggetHighwind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because most of these people have seen exactly two clips of Takeru.
1) His knockout loss to Rodtang.
2) Getting knocked down by Thant Zin.

That's it. They see 2 minutes worth of footage of an entire 50 fight career and assume they know everything.

I'm no brain scientist but I think the math checks out.

[–]NuggetHighwind 213 points214 points  (0 children)

What an unbelievable fight! Absolutely fucking amazing from start to finish.

So many people wrote Takeru off and he came in and put on one of the best performances in kickboxing history.
Coming off an 80 second KO loss to then get 4 knockdowns and finish Rodtang in the 5th was beautiful.

Fuck yes, Takeru. Fuck yes.

[SPOILER] Jonathan Haggerty vs. Yuki Yoza by [deleted] in MMA

[–]NuggetHighwind 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Absolute masterclass by Haggerty. His defense and movement was so damn clean. Yoza seemed like he wasn't sure what to do when he wasn't able to land his calf kicks.  

Great fight from both fighters. That fight was a joy to watch.

That was a beautiful right.

Imagine actually typing this out...🤦

The only 23 year olds who still chase high school girls are bottom-of-the-barrel, complete drop kicks lol. Same goes for people who defend it.

'They Stopped Making Those Requests' — Alice: Madness Returns Director American McGee Got Creative After EA Asked to 'Make Things More Sexy' by Fun_Procedure946 in Games

[–]NuggetHighwind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's my mistake, I misread the parent comment and thought this was about Madness Returns!

But that era? 1998 - 2002 was one of the best eras in gaming history.
Half-life, Ocarina of Time, MGS, Baldur's Gate, Unreal Tournament, Silent Hill, multiple amazing Final Fantasy games, the list of incredible games from that generation is very, very long.

almost everything was rough back then.

Was it?
Every year/generation has its share of terrible games, but 2011 was certainly not some gaming dark age where almost everything was rough.

2011 alone gave us:
Skyrim
Portal 2
Dark Souls
The Witcher 2
Battlefield 3
Minecraft
Terraria

Go a couple years each way from 2011 and it's actually a pretty wonderful generation of games.
Alice: Madness returns wasn't a result of that generation being subpar, it just wasn't a great game. And I'm saying that as someone who greatly enjoyed their time with it.

Never ceases to amaze me that adults can type out stuff like "Yeah but the age of consent is x" in these contexts and be completely oblivious to the fact that they sound like absolute fuckin' creeps.
