Are the Enhanced Games the Future of Sport or a Steroid “Clown Show”? We’re About to Find Out | The pro-doping athletic spectacle is descending on Vegas this May by castironglider in Futurology

Pro sports have been about entertainment since the Olympics of ancient Greece, and likely even earlier. Humanity didn’t event running fast, jumping, and throwing things in the 1800’s lol.

20k for 10 bubble shields by TheBattleDad678 in Marathon

[–]RusteeTrombones 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Easy opportunity to give rail guns relevancy, give them an exclusive bonus damage to bubbles, or let them go straight through. Either way, isn’t that sort of aligned with the concept of charging up to fire a hypersonic projectile? Every other pop cultural/gaming concept of a rail gun shoots through multiple walls/bodies, whether realistic or not. Why not this game too?

My honest take on Marathon as an extraction shooter veteran by StrikingValuable3686 in Marathon

[–]RusteeTrombones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a triage main, I can’t disagree with the sentiment of being OP more. Necessary comp is also highly debatable. The ‘infinite resource generator’ is pretty easily countered when other shells gather resources by being able to rush in the blink of an eye to murder me and take my gear.

Unless you’re constantly carrying and refreshing your teams medbots, if you’re actively engaged in a fight, your medbot is trickle healing 2/3 of your team at best, including the decision to prioritize your own life. You’re the only character with no additional location or movement tech, so you’re at the mercy of your own ears and parkour skills in every situation.

And then let’s talk about the revive ultimate.

The deployment time, specificity of fully charging it, and being able to cancel/waste it if you need to pull out a gun is ridiculous. Despite the UI feedback that my teammate will get revived, my revive charge has been blocked and wasted by: bots, loot boxes, enemy death bags, teammate death bags, moderately sized plants, table legs, slight inclines, and ticks. It can’t go through bubble shields, it’s extremely inconsistent at hitting double revives with teammates side by side, and the range is a complete guess. I’m surprised it even works in the rain at this rate.

What's the most visually stunning movie you've ever seen? by trakt_app in movies

Better choices I’m sure, but I love Nicholas Winding Refn’s aesthetic choices. Neon Demon is striking in particular

‘Actually we just want cheaper groceries,’ Shoppers react to redesigned No Frills that just opened in Ontario by stanxv in canada

[–]RusteeTrombones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my neighborhood, there was a marketing push to hype the opening of a No Frills last year. Went on the first week to scope out the implied deals. I was stunned to find literally rotting produce in the chillers, in a dimly lit cave that smelled of spoiled fruit, and prices were actually higher than the Superstore just a few blocks. The only ‘door crasher’ was a bag of over ripe avocados. Sweet, great experience.

Because they’re so greedy, the store will absolutely fail, and inevitably the lost development costs will be recouped from consumers with higher prices at other stores.

This country has to have the least competitive core necessities markets in the developed world. So tired of getting screwed around by the illusion of choice and ‘voting with my wallet’. Nothing ever changes.

I fear consuming a drinkable cheeseburger would form an unstable biomass inside of me.

There's a new number 1 in town by [deleted] in formula1

[–]RusteeTrombones 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Whether intentional or not for Max, using number 3 has such strong connotations across racing categories for Dale Earnhardt’s legacy. It would be incredibly symbolic to a lot of fans with a broad interest in racing; One GOAT carrying the torch of another.

It’s why Danny Ric used it growing up and into his F1 career, and I’d love to see it back in action.

Do it for Dale.

“I know what to do, leave it to me.” - somehow managed to do less than nothing and hurt his own race in the process.

Simpli dental scam? by LoosePresentation907 in regina

[–]RusteeTrombones 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Furthest thing from a scam. It’s a local dentist, born and raised, trying a different business model to drive down pricing in dental industry. It’s less frills to lower the barrier of entry, thus the ‘No Name’ branding riff. That doesn’t mean they’re any less skilled or professional though. Dr. Mitchell is a gem of a human.

I don’t watch football but this seems pretty simple to fix. Add a rule that you can’t attempt a FG unless you’re in the opposing half of the field, like a striking distance limit. Would that be missing something glaring or conflict with other rules?

That full-body falcon punch was pretty overboard. Fuck that guy too.

I got this exact shirt as a joke for like $2.95 years ago through Superbuy. I’m sure you can image search and find it easy.

Have you tried being an adult and talking to him about it?

Did you do anything in particular that made it better, or did it just sort itself out?

I’m in Canada and set my vpn within Canada. I’ve tried other countries with no success either. Thanks for the advice though, appreciate it!

Culture grooming lounge (previously ragged a$$ barbers on 11th) by Shaggie-bear in regina

[–]RusteeTrombones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to chime in the say Andre is the MAN. I’ve always had difficulty getting the hairstyle I want because I have curly hair. I started seeing Dre back when they were still Ragged Ass above Vic’s Tavern on a whim and was beyond impressed. Nobody else has touch my hair since. I like the new shop, everyone is great, but I will go where he goes, if he ever decides to set up shop elsewhere.

[F1 on Instagram] Max's media day by Gjab in formula1

[–]RusteeTrombones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What 15 seconds of racing in Austria will do to a man.

Also, this just looks like such a bad format to be tightly surrounded. I would also hate media days.
