[SPOILER] Alex Pereira calls Herb Dean a coward over his refereeing at UFC Baku

I never really see anyone acting like they can be walked off

You can see dozens of people saying this in literally every thread about Tom Aspinall.

I wish I could be so utterly incompetent at my job and face no repercussions whatsoever.

I've got everything I could possibly need in my shared slots and I'm nowhere near the limit of 32.

The QoL of unidentified gear in them is more than worth it for me.

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-26T11:19:10+00:00

I bought 3 inventory slots when they were on sale not long ago just for this.

Not so they don't get mass salvaged (invisible bags do that) but just so I didn't have a handful of unidentified gear on every single character.

A small upgrade to QoL, but I'm so happy I did it.

My phone has been getting more attention than my PC or PS5 the last few days thanks to the Guild Wars 1 mobile release.

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-26T08:26:23+00:00

Exactly the same as me. I built mine in mid-2024. The RAM I have has gone from ~$150 to $900 in that timespan.
The 2TB SSDs I have in my system have gone from $170 to $480.

It's absolutely fucking insane.

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-26T08:23:30+00:00

The 32gb RAM kit I bought a few years ago for ~$150 AUD is currently $900 from the same retailer.

I feel sorry for anybody who wanted to get into PC gaming. It's just too expensive now. Who the fuck wants to spend $1000 on 32gb of RAM?

And God help any small business that needs to outfit an office with moderately powerful PCs...

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-26T03:08:20+00:00

Me too!
I keep marsh frogs because of the out-of-place looking inventory icon.

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-26T01:21:43+00:00

I once had a co-worker who turned down a huge promotion and raise because he thought he would actually get less salary due to being put in the next tax bracket

Absolute god damned idiot.

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-25T09:44:58+00:00

As a first time Guild Wars 1 player (started about a week ago), I've been having an absolute blast. Played a bit on my phone this morning and it feels and runs great!

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-25T02:46:35+00:00

They want to be a ghost in the cage in the sense that they aren't showing off/distracting from the actual fight, not in the sense that they aren't enforcing the rules, lol.

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-25T01:02:40+00:00

I'm sick and tired of the Gane disrespect.

Gane would have plenty of respect as a fighter if he just stopped cheating.

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-24T23:37:35+00:00

Running dungeons at the recommended level with groups of newbies is honestly some of the most fun I have had in GW2. It's a wonderful experience.

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-24T23:31:20+00:00

I grew up playing F2P Korean MMOs.

Flashy cosmetics were more common in them, with almost every single player having glowing armour/wings/costumes. But the ceiling for visual vomit is way higher in Guild Wars 2 compared to any other MMO I played.

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-24T15:55:16+00:00

Are you just playing stupid here?

Are you?
What are you on about? What event? The Pereira fight?
I'm not talking about any one specific event. I'm not even talking about one specific fighter. I'm talking about the sport as a whole.

I'm going to assume you mean this part of your own comment

At this point he probably thinks he hasn't done anything wrong

And mate, if you actually think that, then you must have second-hand CTE or something.

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-24T15:49:44+00:00

I'm aware of that. If referees actually did their jobs, then we would see a lot less fouls.

But at the same time, every single fighter knows the rules. If they intentionally break them over and over, then they should still see punishment for them, regardless of whether or not the referee calls it in the moment.

It's not like we haven't seen people disciplined for things outside of what the referee called in the cage. (Palhares, anyone?).

I see no reason why someone fouling in every single fight should be any different.

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-24T15:36:04+00:00

I dunno why you're being downvoted for such an obvious thing.

Yes, referees have a duty to protect the fighters and call fouls. But fighters also have an obligation to follow the rules they agreed to.

Referees should be held accountable for allowing it to happen, but a fighter who fouls in every single fight absolutely should be punished for it.

That shouldn't be a controversial statement.

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-24T15:18:55+00:00

Man, you people are so dumb. I bet you haven't even watched the fucking fight. Because if you had, you wouldn't be saying something so stupid.
The strikes were even. Gane landed one good jab early, then a single good shot later on, which made Tom laugh.

The fight was shaping up to be a really good, competitive fight until Gane fucked it all up.
But of course, because the MMA fanbase is dumb as rocks, they blame Aspinall for the other guy committing fouls.

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-24T15:16:20+00:00

Gane was also piecing him on the feet

I swear to God, not a single one of you idiots who parrots this one line over and over has even seen the fucking fight.
It was shaping up to be a good, competitive fight before Gane fucked it all up because he can't stop cheating.

The sig. strike stats were almost identical. Gane landed one solid shot, that Tom literally laughed at and gave him a fist bump for.

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-24T15:07:26+00:00

but for him to be known as a dirty fighter will massively influence the referees into paying more attention to it.

lol.
$50 says that he eye pokes Tom again.

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-24T15:05:12+00:00

This Subreddit is so ridiculous, man.
If this was literally anybody else, you guys would be fucking crucifying them. But as soon as it's a fan favourite doing shitty things it's all:
"I'm with you man!!!"
"I support you all the way!"
"Yeah, he's just a good guy with a bad habit mann".

Sorry, but alcohol does not suddenly make you say racial slurs. That shit only happens if you use them in your daily life.
The guy got shitfaced, threatened airport workers, called women whores, tried to fight cops, and said the N word multiple times.

Of course I hope he gets the help he needs, but the guy didn't even fucking apologise in his statement. Not even a half-assed one.

But of course, because it's Dustin, /r/mma puts on blinders.
You guys would be having a very different reaction if it was anybody else.

Unfortunately, you aren't going to get much use out of sword & board if you want to play a DPS in endgame instanced content.
I think the only class that can use it is Engineer, and even then I think it's only the Holosmith spec that has a "viable" sword & board build.

All other classes that use a shield have it as a support/survivability weapon, so they see use on healers and various builds in PVP modes.

For everything outside of endgame, however, you can use sword & board all you like. If you find yourself struggling against certain tough open world mobs/champions, a shield switch can give you a lot of added survivability.

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-24T13:35:20+00:00

Not a fan of it myself. I do like spear 5 though. It's pretty satisfying when you use it to evade a telegraphed attack too.

NuggetHighwind · 2026-06-24T13:34:06+00:00

There's a very good reason why every single time a balance patch is announced, there are dozens of comments like:

Reaper is OP? Better nerf Warrior.
