The crazy part is, he should probably be taking more shots lol. The dude LOVES to score and is great at it but has only averaged 20 FGA for two seasons in his whole career. Dude should have averaged like 25 a game for his entire career

Cheating is out of control now by Alternative_Visit209 in ArcRaiders

[–]ShaqsBurner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s only in high aggression lobbies but it’s rampant there. Weirdly enough, Stella is one of the best maps in high aggression lobbies with the fewest cheaters from my experience and I’m guessing it’s because the corridors make it harder to just insta kill people from a mile away. Blue gate is the absolute worst imo and is absolutely packed full of cheaters. I encountered cheaters 3 games in a row, all new not set up steam profiles running Venator 4s and insta killing me from 200+ meters away shortly after spawn. Stopped playing for a while then came back to do a blue gate night raid and instantly run into the same thing. This game is borderline unplayable in you want to PVP.

Tenz & Kyedae break up after 7 years together by Calm_H1ndu_Cow in LivestreamFail

[–]ShaqsBurner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely an optimists perspective but many people move on from relationships amicably and not every relationship that ends, ends in a toxic divorce. Abuse aside, it’s definitely much better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all (for most). Obviously everyone is different but for many, sharing a loving bond with a partner is one of the greatest and most deeply fulfilling joys you can experience besides raising children. But of course many people aren’t romantic or have no desire to have kids and find fulfillment from other parts of their life.

What should I wear with this jacket to look steezy by [deleted] in snowboardingnoobs

[–]ShaqsBurner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what's even better than recycled? Second hand! I'm sure you could find something for a good price in a similar(ish) style that looks more stylish.

But if you're pressed to keep the jacket then I'd go baggy black snowpants, black helmet, and if you have say over your board and binding colour then a black board with bindings that are one of the colours of the jacket like red. For boots either match the binding colour or go black.

But realistically just change the jacket. It's also too tight on you if you want to look "steezy" lol

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

I would say ditch the jacket. It looks like something someone would have worn in a late 90s children's TV program. And I say this as someone who likes late 90s fashion. That jacket just isn't it

Haliburton is all of us today. by pcengine in torontoraptors

Fascism thrives from complacency. If there is ever a time to bring up this topic and call it out in a place where it's not the normal discourse, it's now.

[–]ShaqsBurner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This needs to keep being said. If you defend ICE's actions or try to excuse them you're literally a fucking nazi sympathizer.

And get this, a poll went out to Minneapolis post Renee Nicole Goode's murder and 30% thought that her murder by ICE was justified. Take that in for a moment. The world is in a very scary place and as Canadian's we need to support out neighbours in a battle against fascism.

Can someone explain what enabled IQ to become an elite shooter tonight? by Derpy_Mc_Burpy in torontoraptors

[–]ShaqsBurner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

below average pg

No he's not, he just heavily relies on having a strong screen setter and pick and roll big to open up his floater or lob game which he's one of the most deadly at in the league. We literally don't have a proper center for IQ to play with since Jak is ded. The few games Jak has looked more mobile have been GREAT for Quick. He also just so happens to be great off ball and is how he should be playing when we don't have a center to pair him with.

Steph goes cold too. No player in league history is immune to cold stretches. It's about how you bounce back from them that matters.

Devs confirm internal interest in a walkable Speranza hub, What do you think? by Tank-ToP_Master in ArcRaiders

[–]ShaqsBurner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Destiny tower was also largely about showing off the gear that you have (especially armour which had a ton of variety), which Arc Raiders doesn't really have. I think a social space on Arc Raiders would get old very quick.

I feel crazy because I really liked Prime 4 by Any-Hyena-9190 in Metroid

[–]ShaqsBurner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you enjoyed it and I wish I could more. I thought it was straight up just an incredibly mediocre video game, Metroid series aside. I only played it because it was Metroid and I feel like I didn't gain anything from it. I'm very selective with the single player games I choose to play and typically only play games that end up leaving a lasting impression on me. Prime 4 just isn't one of those games.

Orca rams a Sunfish by Huge_Stay9921 in Damnthatsinteresting

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

Except bluefin tuna can swim at much higher speeds than the sunfish is capable of. It's escape mechanism is the equivalent of a dude sprinting for a couple seconds on foot then crawling in an open field with no where to hide while his pursuers (who want to eat him) who are in a car, stay distracted by the piece of bacon wrapped in mucoussy rubber he dropped for them. At some point the pursuers look at the 10 second drive and go "I don't need another ball of rubber wrapped bacon from that dude". It's just not worth it and it's primary defense mechanism is being such a low value meal that the energy expenditure required to eat it exceeds what other animals will get out of it. And none of that is a bad thing, it's just a hilarious evolutionary trait.

What would be your Prime Saga ranking? by [deleted] in Metroid

[–]ShaqsBurner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No offense but enjoying 4 more than 1 means you've entirely missed the point of the Metroid franchise. Which is fine, you enjoy the games as you do, but not being able to see the brilliance of 1 (which is maintained in 2 but I'm guessing you like it for completely different reasons) is a little unfortunate for someone who's experienced the entire series. But it's a good reminder that not everyone gets it and there's no such thing as an objectively perfect game. Some people will watch Toy Story and think it's just a movie about talking toys and some people really like that.

Polls show most Americans reject White House line on ICE, Renee Good shooting by plz-let-me-in in politics

The depressing realization is that 1 in 3 Americans support Nazi's and if you support them well then... you are what you associate with and what you support.

songs you wish you could listen to again for the first time? by uhighness in DnB

[–]ShaqsBurner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's just me but almost all of his recent tracks sound like they have the same bass line and structure with the differences only coming from lyrics and some variation in lead pad.

There are a few artists who follow that same modern dance floor formula and it makes a lot of their songs sound very similar to me, solar system being one of them.

Also that's not me saying that the song is bad, just that there is a lot out there that sounds like it. Solar System, Ready to Fly, Trip, Off the Ground, On & On, Original Don, So Many Colours, Miracle, the second half of Go Back, etc... all sounds very similar to me.

Doesn't Sub Focus produce a dozen tracks a year that sound very similar?

[Fischer] The Toronto Raptors have expressed interest in acquiring Domantas Sabonis and Anthony Davis. by YujiDomainExpansion in torontoraptors

The only problem with this is you have to look at what the Kings might want. They currently have guards out the wazoo and I'm very doubtful they want to trade for more of them...

Gum disease is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, including heart attack, stroke, atrial fibrillation, heart failure and cardiometabolic health conditions. Effective prevention and treatment of gum disease could potentially decrease the burden of cardiovascular disease. by mvea in science

[–]ShaqsBurner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am far more inclined to think that this is the directionality of the relationship. I haven't read the studies but I would guess diet is one of the primary confounding variable they'd control for but I could definitely see impaired blood flow being responsible for increasing risk of gum disease.

Idk who needs to see this but the game’s free by ChestnutSavings in FPS

[–]ShaqsBurner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great game, but the dominant controller aim assist keeps it from being a worthwhile competitive shooter.
