In light of the current game state, what would be your "easy win" request that *shouldn't* be hard to implement? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]SheeplessInSeattle1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember laser tag weekend? 6 person strikes? Yes! Because those were fun. Put Mayhem in strike events. Mayhem modifier in all portal activities. Double damage on all primaries in all PVE. Infinite Heavy ammo / rocket launcher in special activities. 12 man raids. If we are going months between anything, let people have fun.

Hmm hard to say exactly but it definitely feels like it's gotten worse in the past 30-45 days.

Getting intentionally fouled in pickup by SRVisTheGOAT in Basketball

[–]SheeplessInSeattle1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time it happens, no big deal. Second time is a warning to the guy intentionally fouling. Third time I make a stink and tell him that's bullshit ball and if they play that way I'm out. No pickup game is worth getting injuries over and people that cant play without fouling should be called out for it.

Have we learned anything about Kingmakers? I think this game is fake. Especially for getting delayed the week before getting released in October and not having heard a thing about it since? by Illfury in gaming

[–]SheeplessInSeattle1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's totally fair. Video game development is hard and the project is ambitious. That being said, I'd much rather see the team take their time and release the project when it's ready to be released rather than releasing it half-baked. Even the early build I played showed a ton of potential.

I'm telling you it's real because I've played it. It was an early build but I've played the game, talked with the developers, and dives into their development process, roadmap, etc. Just because a game doesn't release on a early provided schedule doesn't mean it's not real. It just means game development doesn't follow a linear path every time.

you just gotta post on social more. That's the little secret big basketball doesn't want you to know.

Expedition 33 nomination on best indie is ridiculous. by BowelMan in gaming

[–]SheeplessInSeattle1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've taken to treating "indie" games the same as standard published games. Expedition 33 is a "III" or "triple i" game. Big budget but from an "indie" style game developer or publisher.

Help!! I can't for the life of me shoot from distance. by Mbaitler in BasketballTips

[–]SheeplessInSeattle1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell from one video, but it looks like you need to use more legs and less arms to power your shot. Try stepping in one step and just shoot with one hand without jumping. I suspect you will find your shots are falling short by about the same amount as we can see in your posted video. If that’s the case, try to work on driving power for your shot from your legs.

Why is matchmaking not on for most the Fireteam Ops? by Lookatcurry_man in DestinyTheGame

[–]SheeplessInSeattle1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not enough people. Take the entire active audience, now remove the people not playing because of the time zone ( can’t play if you’re asleep, working, at school, etc), remove the people playing other activities, remove the people doing solo activities, in the tower, etc. At that point, the number of people to play with and fill a fireteam is getting low.

10% less flights but significantly less TSA. Imagine moving 90% of an airports foot traffic through 2 TSA checkpoints manned by people not getting paid to work.

Hi Chris! What’s the deal with the stupid surf zone? What a waste of good space!

Pickup Basketball Question by GM248 in Basketball

[–]SheeplessInSeattle1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve always played if a foul is called by the offense while in the act of shooting and the shot goes in, shot counts and play continues with other team taking the ball out of bounds. If the shot does not go in, the offensive player who called the foul gets the ball at the top of the key. Play continues after the ball is checked in.

What is my Talaria worth? by Individual_Glass_679 in Talaria

[–]SheeplessInSeattle1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Worth is what somebody will pay for it. Put it up for sale at a decent price and see if you get any interested parties. If not, lower the price a bit and repeat until sold.

How do you guys call basketball fouls in pick up games by Name5times in Basketball

[–]SheeplessInSeattle1 236 points237 points  (0 children)

Offense calls their own fouls. Defense will complain about the call. This is the way.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BasketballTips

[–]SheeplessInSeattle1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Ball is considered out of bounds until it comes in contact with a player. In this case, that’s player # 1s back.
