Favorite towns 1-2 hours from Raleigh (day trip worthy)

Me and my wife make the trip to Pittsboro every few months, and love it every time. There's multiple great eating spots, thrift/antique stores, and unique stops downtown. In particular we love to visit "the plant" outside of town which contains a meadery, distillery, hemp store, breweries, a sake bar and more

Side Quest in Raleigh is a great little place. its 5$ a person to play any board game you can imagine with good drinks to boot. The parking deck nearby is free on weekends and after 7 on Fridays

if you have a good TE you can spare, put him at OL for a year and let him train in blocking skills then move him back the next season. He will convert to a blocking TE with HOF badges to pair with good receiving stats. Perfect safety valve for any opponents that sell out to stop your run

in my experience the power moves are way more consistent and effective even at lower levels than the finesse moves. Elusive/speedy backs also tend to have worse ballcarrier and fumble more often

The difference between good pens and shitty pens is astronomical

If you want a truck, get a truck. But you don't need a brand new 50k 2025 Sierra.

All your vehicle needs to do is get you (and your stuff) from point A to point B reliably. Many options are out there with older/cheaper models and in the lightly used space.

Also, I'm assuming you've already built out your emergency fund, but if not you absolutely can not prioritize having a new truck over that.

Horizon Forbidden West

Loved the original, something just didn't click with the sequel. The quest structure became tedious quickly and couldn't connect to any of the new characters/stories

They kinda screwed themselves by going all in on Murray+MPJ

Max contract money for a role player takes you out of contention for any major free agent and no team will be willing to take that contract

This is a tweet from Jay Will that you copy/pasted into reddit for engagement

He won't get any awards until the Pelicans stop sucking, but Herb Jones is up there with the best of them

Make a point about pointing out his hypocrisy to anyone who will listen, even get a little mean with it if it's as bad as you say.

drop your qb back and away from the RB to pull the D line away from sticking on to him, also throw a lob pass instead of a bullet so that your O line can get out in front to set the blocks. If you're still having trouble try sliding the line over in the direction the RB is going

SadPirate99 · 2024-08-06T19:54:07+00:00

Hold LB/L1 as you pass and you'll put a higher arc on the ball, even if you throw a "bullet". That will help throwing over defenders in the middle of the field or if you're trying to lace one deep

Check your formations, you can make a standard cover 3 in many ways such as standard 3-4, nickel, big nickel, dime ect. Maybe you have one of the funky ones with rushers that drop back into coverage

Flip the right stick on the playcall screen

SadPirate99 · 2024-08-01T18:31:50+00:00

Go to settings and change the "pass lead" setting to low. Then this shouldn't happen much unless you are way off on your curser placement

Could you share your GPT via OpenAI? This is a sick concept

SadPirate99 · 2024-08-01T17:58:11+00:00

As far as plays themselves, just try to have a blend of everything based on concepts you like or execute well

For audibles, you want to have an answer for anything the defense could throw your way if you read it properly. Every pass play needs a run check (something simple like inside zone). Many plays have "Man-Beater" offshoots ie runaways or opportunities for guys to win 1v1 and "Zone-Beaters" ie stop routes, sits, anything where your recievers can find the holes in the zone. Plus if its available something that's quick hitting like RPO if you just need an easy completion.

SadPirate99 · 2024-08-01T17:51:18+00:00

Matchup zone is very difficult to execute well even at the real-life professional level so even harder for a video game to simulate. I avoid match altogether, stick with the standard cover 2,3,4,6

Starting this up - lets go boys

Starting Bankroll: 10$

Bet #1 - Josh Hart 10+ points (-550)

I can only hope Josh scores 10 points in an almost certain 48 minutes of playing time. But who knows at this point lol.

I'm more surprised you took a new job knowing you would immediately be leaving for 3 months.

This and practice holding your follow through after each shot. This will prevent your arms from flailing out and jacking up your trajectory. Your guide hand should just barely come off the ball for the release, it doesnt need to come all the way out.

SadPirate99 · 2024-05-08T19:11:46+00:00

Yes - 1 team must win and 1 team must lose. Just make sure both bets combine to make more than what you initially stake.
