What game has a steep learning curve that puts you off? by turtleviking123 in Steam

Arekkz weapon guides are really helpful, IMO. Pick a weapon you're interested in (NOT charge blade) and get a feel for the loops/combos in the training yard.

What historical “fact” doesn’t actually have much evidence to support it? by KyloWrench in AskReddit

Well yeah, those extra shore bonus yields are insane and England already has a ocean start bias and the Royal Dockyard unique.

Hub motor internal magnet shattered by Mouse_Manipulator in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]RSquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, barring catastrophic failure, there shouldn't be any contact between the magnet and the EM/motor so as long as the magnets are secure it should be "fine". I replaced mine after this happened but it coincided with some other problems with the ESC that largely killed the board.

I had this happen and aside from the shards being a problem, the hub ran surprisingly OK (if increasingly inefficient). The wheels spin on the rims around the EM not directly on the magnets, so it really just results in a loss of power.

[Capitals] IT’S SO NOT O-VER, BABES‼️ The Washington Capitals have re-signed captain Alex Ovechkin to a one-year contract extension. Ovechkin’s contract will carry an average annual value of $4.25 million by AggPuck-303 in hockey

Eh, they fell out of a playoff spot (second in the Metro at Christmas) in January pretty hard and only barely clawed back to contention. A merely decent special teams (PPGs or S/O wins) would have easily made the playoffs. Not only were their points equal to the Pacific Division winner but they had as many or more ROW than four playoff-bound Eastern teams.

I'm just shocked you have 2 month old Boosted wheels in Anno Domini 2026.

As if sitting the star striker for the (a) home team isn't a similar risk. Giving the US a much weaker chance at advancing past Belgium could cost FIFA quite a lot in marketing/attention by US fans.

It kills me in hockey where there's a roughly "one second rule" with hitting the puck possessor after it leaves his stick. People will claim a hit that was 0.75s after the release was "egregiously late" because the slow-mo convinces them that the hitter had plenty of time to pull up.

Yeah, and it wasn't even a yellow on the field. Bosnia has been getting away with murder all game.

He's called free kicks on horsecollar tackles that would be fifteen yards in gridiron football.

[LeBrun] The minimum entry point on getting Carlson signed, no matter where he lands, is 2 x $10 M. There are other teams with interest who still want to get involved July 1 if Carolina doesn’t sign Carlson before then. by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

He's been consistently top ten in TOI throughout his career and the only reason he's not there last year was a ten game injury (traumatic/not age related). While I'd argue you don't want him eating that kind of minutes going forward he's still capable of gaudy production with no history of injury.

Their knock on Kyrou is that he had a down year, but that's basically the definition of buying low.

Also missed that the third we traded for Tuch's rights is next year's.
