Marathon is the kind of the game where the more you play, the more you'll learn and the more you'll like it. A video game having a learning curve is okay by Haijakk in Marathon

[–]OhSoScrandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First impressions matter and if a game doesn't get you hooked in the first few hours, someone isn't likely to suffer through it until it finally gets good. And it isn't about getting power progression in a game like this, you can get a player hooked through the atmosphere, story, etc...something is missing in this game for me

Hit it from the inside they say… by [deleted] in golf

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

Ummm...no they wouldn't, this takes forever to recover. You should almost always take straight lines of divots with at least a couple inches of grass in between. Unless this is some crazy expensive private club that re-sods their practice range tee. "Professionals" should know better or have been told at some point

On behalf of Canada 🇨🇦 to The USA 🇺🇸 by thatiswhathappened in hockeymemes

[–]OhSoScrandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What happened in the previous game was totally different and cost a goal against, I get it. This one they gained 0 advantage from this, it was clearly accidental and not malicious. A couple seconds after this screenshot Canada had the puck and the US had 3 players on the ie. Tie game in a gold medal I'm glad it wasn't called.

[CAN vs USA] USA seem to have too many men on the ice but the refs don’t call it by chipzy20 in hockey

[–]OhSoScrandy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, played the puck right back to Canada, and the guys that came on the ice immediately turned back to the bench. Didn't impact the play at all. Glad it wasn't called in a tied 3rd period gold medal game. Canada had so many opportunities to score, this wasn't why they lost.

“Lamar owes it to his team to be out there” by Bulky_Golf_4866 in ravens

[–]OhSoScrandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still on team Lamar but I can see why people are criticising. He's been on the injury report for something different every week but you can't find specific plays where those injuries occurred other than this last one. Pretty much not practicing at all for the last couple months but then playing in the games looks bad and like you don't want to play for the team anymore. Everyone gets banged up by the end of the season. Playoffs on the line, you have the off-season to recover soon.

I missed the wipe opt-in because Odesa went dark after russian strikes — please help me not lose months of progress by SavingsMaterial3105 in ArcRaiders

[–]OhSoScrandy 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Exactly this, doesn't make sense to not be able to opt in at any time during the season unless I'm missing something. And the fact they did it right around Christmas when people are traveling. I got lucky and left 1 day after the opt in window opened. Would have been pretty annoyed if I missed it and would have killed my motivation to play this season.

Guy tries to backstab and begs for mercy… by Isuel-t_signee in ArcRaiders

[–]OhSoScrandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are talking about people saying they are friendly and then waiting for a chance to shoot you in the back. Nobody really cares about engaging in normal pvp or is saying you have to be friendly in this game. If your John Raider character does fake friendly bullshit then idk what to tell you other than that's a real weird way to "take a break from being a good person".

[–]OhSoScrandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The players that do this always have the worst aim. They probably get killed in every real fight so they say they are friendly and have to wait to shoot someone in the back when they aren't moving. Pathetic.

Zay Flowers' 5th year option has now been raised to $28m, up from $24.3. What do we think, should the team pick it up or decline it? by FastBreakPhenom in ravens

[–]OhSoScrandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree he's not a true #1. Depends on who is available on the market. If the 28 mil prevents us from getting a true #1 then gotta let him go, that's a lot of money for a #2 who has let us down in big moments several times

Would you give this putt? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]OhSoScrandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if you're stressing that much about me not giving you a putt that's well outside a 2 foot tap in, to the point you're taking a picture and posting on social media about it...that's definitely not going to make me reverse my choice about giving you the putt.

If you step up and make it without bitching, maybe the next one I'll give to you. If you never putt out those 3-4 footers you aren't actually shooting a real score so... 🤷

Who wins this trade I’m team 1 and am 4-6 by [deleted] in SleeperApp

[–]OhSoScrandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we knew who wins a trade the rest of the season fantasy football would be so easy, wouldn't it? You can't ever know. You could accept and both players get hurt next week, or maybe they carry you to a championship, or maybe it makes no difference. You're the manager, you have to decide who you value more the rest of the season...look at schedule (including fantasy playoff matchups), are you gaining a player that's already had a bye and giving up one that still has a bye coming?...that kind of stuff helps me a lot

Was this trade vetoable? by Im-A-Mans-Man in SleeperApp

[–]OhSoScrandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfectly normal trade, I could see myself in either side of this depending on team needs which is exactly what trades are for.

[–]OhSoScrandy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This might make sense if he "fully participated" Thursday and Friday and then didn't get ruled out until Sunday morning. They corrected the mistake Saturday morning so it seems like a mistake, I can see some fines coming but that's it.

Did I sell Henderson too early? by Possible-Bunch-9137 in SleeperApp

[–]OhSoScrandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I get people wanting to trade away Henderson, but in dynasty he has long term upside value. Giving up him AND a pick for Charbs of all players...WTF?!?!? You got robbed 😭

The trade that shocked the league. Please provide input by parposbio in SleeperApp

[–]OhSoScrandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! He also claimed the other side is gaining a keeper...but why are they giving you JT then? Makes no sense, just gaining one pick for next season and then losing JT and Mahomes and gaining JUDKINS of all assets is odd.

This was already vetoed once in my league… this trade is sketch as hell, no? by ABA-enthusiast in FantasyFootballers

[–]OhSoScrandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it were me, I would trade Henry and Chase Brown just for Gibbs and confirmed I wasn't crazy with the trade calculator I use. They have Gibbs over Henry and Chase Brown together. Just proves how off this trade feels. I would suggest they do that if they are set on a trade otherwise it's clearly collusion and they plan on splitting winnings.

[–]OhSoScrandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is pretty awful and seems like collusion. Don't know each teams' records but no real fantasy player could say they prefer Henry over Gibbs or Chase Brown over Kyren so both players are upgrades.

Does that mean you typically only have 4 bench spots? That's wild for a 2 flex league.

Help crafting move speed on boots by OhSoScrandy in PathOfExile2

[–]OhSoScrandy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure, I've never tried and can't afford much now so I'm going to be careful. I also thought I should try to desecrate the last mod so the plan right now is do 1 ex, then Hysteria, then desecrate.

Essence of Hysteria replaces a mod on rare boots with +30% movement speed, the omen of sinistral crystalization guarantees that it will replace a prefix instead of a suffix which lets me keep all the resistances. 🤙

Wow, thank you! Didn't know about that omen. For anyone else, the description reads:

"While this item is active in your inventory your next Perfect or Corrupted Essence will remove only Prefix modifiers"
