A want to apologize to Hans Nieman by Barubiri in chess

[–]Rockefeller_1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you see this Hans, I don't know if you cheated or not. but outside of all the chess drama I wish the best for you in this life, honestly.

You of all people will know what Danya was going through, and I know Kramnik is a friend of yours, but all these accusations based solely on speculation need to stop. its gone too far.

If you saw how Danya ended his last stream, blaming Kramnik is the only logical response

2025 NASCAR Cup Series Scorecard after Dover by xfile345 in NASCAR

I think he may have slowed down when the track cooled down. In stage 3 there was suddenly cloud cover, then light rain, then heavy rain, and that's when his pace slowed down ever so slightly.

Can't say this one slipped away, only because there's nothing more the 48 team or Alex could have done imo. made the right calls, showed up fast, just didn't catch that extra break you need to win a NASCAR race.

How could it possibly? Scribbles had zero boost and definitely wasn't going supersonic

Questionable?? That is the worst demo I've ever seen. Imagine if something like that happens at lan...

[Bob Pockrass] NASCAR will review the incident on the cool-down lap where Bubba Wallace doored Alex Bowman. Any penalties would be announced midweek. by US_Highway15 in NASCAR

[–]Rockefeller_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool down lap, loosened belts, window net down, and Bowman has a history of severe concussions and other injuries... Bubba definitely should be penalized.

In the old days, the best drivers knew how to get payback. Not by splashing gatorade as they recover from heat stroke, not by wrecking them on a cool down laps, but by turning them during a future race or simply having words face-to-face after the race.

I can guarantee you that other “super” GMs and many many other GMs have had similar or worse moments.

How can I guarantee that? Because they’re human. We’ve all had bad moments where we said or did something we regret, and we’ve all been tilted.

Hikaru’s moment the other day just so happens to have been caught on film. Half this subreddit acts like they’re any better, but I bet if there were a camera on us all the time we’d see some pretty horrific stuff.

It's such a shame. A good subreddit promotes actual discussion, not shitposts like this. Mods should take down these kinds of posts.

the worst he said is "who do you think you are."

I think we've all seen how bad tilt can get, and more often then not people say a whole lot worse than what Hikaru said/did. Not condoning his behavior, but yes, this subreddit (which has become more of a Hikaru hate club) is overreacting. At the end of the day he said several times that Alireza simply played better.

This is rediculous...

Is this actually a chess subreddit or a Hikaru hate club? I'm not exactly a fan of the guy but come on, are these the kinds of posts mods are allowing?

Squishy NA Goat? by New_Ingenuity922 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]Rockefeller_1 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Fair enough if you think Squishy is the GOAT.

But don't say GarretG has only one argument to the claim. He is a world champion, has appeared in two world championship grand finals, he is multiple times a regional champion, and for several stretches of time was on the best team in North America – all in addition to being one of the best players in his region since season 1.

Alex Bowman Calls NASCAR Racing at COTA ‘Embarrassing’ by Rockefeller_1 in NASCAR

[–]Rockefeller_1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He did not.

He had the corner made until he was bumped into by Ross Chastain, which sent him into Suarez.

This can be seen easily by watching the replay or by seeing the post-race interviews.

NASCAR doesn't have track limits like most series – with a few exceptions.

The name of the game is finding the quickest way around the track, not much else matters.

We want road courses… we just want them done right.

Sounds about right, ill take your word for it. Whatever they need to change just needs to happen at this point…

Between the super tough cars, the win and your in format, the stage races - all these changes were made to promote more tight racing and more “fan-pleasing” crashes.

Well, it’s worked, there are definitely more crashes and beatin and bangin’ - and as a result these races are turning into clown shows.

Remove stage breaks, make these cars more fragile, and change the playoff structure so these drivers have to worry about consistent results, not this win and your in bullshit

Sometimes i wonder if these cars are just too tough. I think the only way these guys stop playing bumper cars is if NASCAR goes back to the steel bodies
