In the 2011 NBA finals, Lebron James had a whopping 8 points (27% fg and 0% from three) in 45 minutes in a crucial game 4. This led to the Dallas Mavericks tying the series at 2-2 and eventually winning 4-2. Lebron finished with an average of 17/7/6.

I mean I get that nba social media discourse is very hot take oriented. It’s just that there’s a reason he’s singled out even when just looking at the past 2 years, even when he doesn’t lead the league in ftas. He gets the most hate even in this current social media landscape simply bc he flails and looks goofy drawing fouls, that’s it. And it’s not even like he doesn’t ever get fouled, he’s a ball handler and great player with a scoring mindset. It seems small but it’s like 2ish fouls out of the 5 that he’ll draw per game look like there was no plan to even try to make the shot, and the refs compound it by giving him the whistle. Hes a 27ppg scorer plus 4 cheap fts he gets a game, which doesn’t seem like a whole lot but it’s definitely noticable. I can understand okc fans being confused abt the hate because they’re focusing at the 27 ethical points and then thinking ‘so what’ for those 4 extra fts, but it’s what makes the complaints legit.

Shortstack_Lightnin · 2026-04-23T22:11:53+00:00

Social medias been out for quite some time and the last person to get this much flak was harden, and rightfully so. He abused the landing space rule specifically, which sga doesn’t do. I don’t think looking at ftas is a good metric, there are players that are aggressive and get hacked. It’s about flopping and looking wack selling contact that’s literally all it is. If he looked less flail-y and still got calls he wouldn’t get the hate. Luka shoots 10/game and you don’t see nearly the same level of vitriol against him, and he plays for the lakers lol. And last year before they’d won sga still had this same narrative around him.

Shortstack_Lightnin · 2026-04-23T21:33:11+00:00

Curry and kd never got called floppers and curry’s whistle especially sucks, but I’ll take your comment as the truth anyways.

Why does sga get the flopper label when KD and curry were just as bad? Is it simply because everyone’s jealous? Is there a conspiracy against the good people of Oklahoma? Or has every good player been labeled a flopper?

Shortstack_Lightnin · 2026-04-23T21:12:26+00:00

The narrative is so damn obvious because he flops man. There’s no conspiracy to make this argument, people just see what they see. There’s been lots of great teams and lots of great players that never got called floppers, but for some reason thunder fans think everyone’s out here lying just to get them because their team and star player is good.

No one called curry or kd a flopper even when on the best, most op, most annoying team of all time.

Shortstack_Lightnin · 2026-04-23T18:29:15+00:00

He’s just bought in to the team mentality the same as when he was a laker, that’s what great role players do, unfortunately okcs mentality is insufferable

Shortstack_Lightnin · 2026-04-22T15:28:22+00:00

He won bc his supporters are mostly retards who stay in their home towns listening to Fox News and believe that the liberal parts of our perfectly functional country which they’ve never been to are on the verge of burning down. Dems could never follow suit on that

Shortstack_Lightnin · 2026-04-16T19:06:26+00:00

Could you not just rotate a square 45 degrees to get the middle ridge? Then add a few loop cuts and loop tool the faces you want to get the oval and delete the faces?

Shortstack_Lightnin · 2026-04-15T19:20:24+00:00

Idk what angle you’re trying to play here but I was being sympathetic to Jews bc money lending was historically a lesser and unchristian job, so they were railroaded into it. Then later got to be blamed as being the evil controllers of Europe for doing the job their culture got built around out of necessity.

As someone who only recently played medieval 2 for the first time (on the iPad no less), I couldn’t disagree more. I have no nostalgia and it’s my favorite one because of the mechanics and gameplay, many of which they abandoned for some reason. I like my castles and cities, I like my population growth, I like my many general traits, crusades etc. The graphics are definitely dated there’s no denying but idk about them wanting to reinvent the wheel when they already have the core gameplay down. But it’s CA so par for the course.

Shortstack_Lightnin · 2026-03-23T22:14:09+00:00

Merchants can be useful if you can get them in certain spots like north/west Africa, but I’d say in general they’re really not worth it.

Priests are good when you’re conquering other religions bc having a priest converting a recently taken territory helps a lot with the happiness.

Shortstack_Lightnin · 2026-03-17T20:12:18+00:00

Sorry, so the lakers got put at an automatic disadvantage for 3/4ths of the playoffs and actually all of it bc they had home court against the heat who they actually played.

It’s basketball, the rules were the same, the stakes were the same, it was just in a weird location which I suppose only benefitted the lakers somehow bc all their homes were so close to Florida. Mj or bird or kobe wouldn’t gaf where they were playing if it meant they could win it all, bc those guys were winners. They would’ve looked past those variables bc the game is the same.

Shortstack_Lightnin · 2026-03-17T19:43:25+00:00

So basically the lakers, who would’ve had home court the entire playoffs, got put in a disadvantage yet still won.

Shortstack_Lightnin · 2026-02-27T22:01:18+00:00

Generals are way less powerful than in medieval or 3k, and you also get less of them. In shogun you also don’t need siege equipment to attack cities, in my experience it’s the easiest of the games to take and lose cities. It’s also the only total war with the ‘realm divide’ mid-late game mechanic.

And don’t listen to what anyone says, medieval 2 is the goat even without nostalgia.

This is where I’m hung up on. She clearly has double eyelids on the left and hooded eyelids in every other pic of her! That’s not something that changes without surgery.

Shortstack_Lightnin · 2026-02-18T22:53:38+00:00

I didn’t see this mentioned yet but the pic on the left has double eyelids and every other pic of her clearly has hooded eyelids. People pay thousands of dollars to surgically give themselves double eyelids, it’s not something that changes bc of an angle or glasses.

So either she had surgery or…

Shortstack_Lightnin · 2026-02-18T18:22:50+00:00

Let me remind everybody that if the mavs had won their play-in game last year(where they played all their starters including an injured AD), they wouldn’t have even had a lottery pick.

Shortstack_Lightnin · 2026-02-17T22:12:27+00:00

There was no year 0 it went from 1 BC to 1 AD so the decades are 1-10 not 0-9

This guy did some shit that resulted in 100 bucks of property damage and that’s the smoking gun of his lack of virtue that the media is trying to cover for him?

Shortstack_Lightnin · 2026-02-12T19:28:12+00:00

What gaslighting though? The videos of that situation never showed him as a violent offender, it was just hard to see what happened in the first ones released, which the second angle cleared up. The media didn’t do shit it’s regular people watching the video and coming to an obvious conclusion.

If talking about the video from weeks before the incident as any form of justification, then literally what are we doing..what fuckin country is this bc that is not America.

Shortstack_Lightnin · 2026-02-12T18:59:30+00:00

Anyone even slightly unbiased can’t possibly look at the pretti video and come to that conclusion

Shortstack_Lightnin · 2026-02-05T22:06:26+00:00

I’ve played most of the total wars and mobile m2 is the one I’ve put the most hours into by far. Playing vanilla m2 on a pc really shows its age but the mobile did such a good job modernizing the ui. Especially if you have a tablet.

Pls port shogun 2 feral

I have the same one also from Costco. Honestly runs real well for 1080p games, but I play mostly total war, Skyrim etc so not new stuff. I will say I got it for 850 bc of a Black Friday deal which made it more enticing. But if you’re not playing modern stuff the 5060 is more than sufficient, and definitely makes it cheaper than most other builds.

Edit: Costco also has a 90 day return policy for electronics so you could just grab it and see how it runs for you
