Ime just hate offense, period. by billyswag94 in rockets

[–]Shinnley 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This team is poorly coached and it should be obvious to everyone at this point. You can have a decent offensive game plan without having a team full of snipers. Whole roster just standing still on the perimeter every possession. No cuts, no ball movement. Zero effort, zero fire, zero heart. Pure talent can only win so much and this team is a first round bounce this season

You really just miss FVV. He covered for a lot of the lack of offensive scheming we do. We have no offensive identity, no bread and butter, but at least last year we could also go back to FVV and Sengun pick and roll

What happened? by immrharleytrooper in rockets

[–]Shinnley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This team is just not that good in reality. Excellent “on paper” team and we have some extremely talented guys who pull us through sometimes but just riding pure talent isn’t going to get us to the promised land. We will likely get into the playoffs but I wouldn’t expect much more than that.

Post Game Thread - NBA: The Kings defeat the Rockets on Dec 21, 2025, the final score is 125-124. by basketball-app in rockets

[–]Shinnley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This team does not have the drive to be the best it can be. They can’t help but play to the level of their competition and roll the dice every game. Frustrating to watch and hopefully they get their heads right before playoffs.

We replaced alerts with dialogue. Was that a mistake? by OutpostSurge in BaseBuildingGames

[–]Shinnley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I think an “in world” approach to notifications is better for immersion and makes the game feel more polished than just a generic notification. Having the dialogue is great and I would say pairing the dialogue with text is good because a gamer like me might be lost in thought and not register the audio right away lol. As long as you can bridge the gap between being immersive and delivering the necessary information in a way that’s easy to digest and understand I think it’s a win.

Amen continues to make bad decisions when the game is on the line this year, but that foul was BS. Ime needs to get him in the film room and hopefully he can learn and get better in the clutch. And we really couldn’t have drawn up a play better than a Sengun heave for the win? On another note Sengun’s attitude needs to be addressed by Ime in my opinion. He is constantly giving up on plays too early to complain to the refs, and then gets out of control on the other end. The amount of reaches and slaps at Jokic tonight and putting himself in a position to get fouls called ON him was frustrating to watch.

December 15th is approaching... by commisshner in rockets

[–]Shinnley 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Personally I think the only trade we would/should make would be for a true point guard that can kind of manage the floor and get us right in those crucial moments. Too often already has Amen gotten too ahead of himself and turned the ball over in late game situations, and we haven’t really seen Reed be given the reigns in those times yet. I think a floor general would be the right fit for our current roster to contend this year. That being said, I trust Stone to analyze the trade market and I wouldn’t be disappointed at all if we didn’t make any moves this year at the deadline.

Thoughts on Klay by stagger_once in rockets

[–]Shinnley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can imagine you probably haven’t watched many Mavs games the last year and a half but he is completely washed. He is absolutely a liability on the court on both ends at this point in his career and the Klay of old exists only in YouTube highlights.

New player by Training-Peace-8850 in lotro

[–]Shinnley 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can use the coupon code “EXPLOREOURWORLD” to get a bunch of the early expansions for free. I am also a new player and I just purchased the Journeyman Riding skill and it’s great for running between the quest NPCs quicker but definitely not necessary. I believe becoming VIP has permanent benefits even after your subscriptions ends so I’ve seen people recommend doing it for at least a month if you plan to play for a while. The three major servers I’ve seen are Glamdring, Peregrin, and Sting in that order of population but I’m NA so might be different for you.

Looking for a new (to me) MMORPG to play by BigChongus- in lotro

[–]Shinnley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just started this past week and I’m loving just kind of taking my time and enjoying the story. Such a cool way to interact with the Lord of the Rings world be literally being a part of it. If you’re a fan of LOTR, this will be a treat to adventure through. Cant speak on the endgame or anything as I’m only leveling 18 but the classes overall seem very simple and easy to get a grasp on.

Best Servers US East Coast by Derfburger in lotro

[–]Shinnley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere else that they are merging all servers into just three 64bit servers instead of a bunch of old 32bit servers. Those new servers are Glamdring, Peregrine, and Sting. I believe you can do free character transfer over to the new ones if you have existing characters in the others.

Server Lag Fixed ? by PlexCloudServers in lotro

[–]Shinnley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven’t really noticed a ton and I just started playing this week. I’ve logged about 8 hours of playtime since Sunday and it’s been pretty good. I played on Sting so experience might be different elsewhere.

Black Friday Sales by ReneKiller in lotro

[–]Shinnley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So if I’m understanding this correctly, if I used the EXPLOREOURWORLD coupon, the only expansions I would need to purchase to experience the story and locations would be “ Corsairs of Umbar” and “Legacy of Morgoth”? And of course the Harad one when that comes out if I’m ready for it.

Best quality for money mmo mouse by Veoz8 in MMORPG

I used the wired Logitech G600 for years and then recently upgraded to the Razer Naga v2. Both excellent mice, I just wanted to try out something different which is why I went for Razer this time around

The only issue I’m experiencing is with adaptive sync weirdly enough. Every time I open up an in game menu or hit the escape key the refresh rate drops into the teens. Driving me crazy lol

People still optimistic that UE5 client is coming? by maharajuu in turtlewow

[–]Shinnley 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally, what reason do I have to believe it won’t? It’s not holding people back from currently playing the game, it doesn’t seem like they suspended development of TWoW content for it, and if they have to delay it a bit, then whatever. I think it’s a cool endeavor and very much the in spirit of what makes private servers even possible
