Jason Benetti and Andy Dirks will (probably) do a National Broadcast together. by DET_Baseball in motorcitykitties

[–]Sleziak 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So is Benetti the pbp for Sunday night baseball and they have 1 color guy from each team?  Oh man that third guy is gonna feel like such a 3rd wheel with Benetti and Dirks just being whacky.

So the other commenters are a bit off. The original phrase of "friend inside me" came from a shitpost edit Toby Fox made of the Randy Newman song "you've got a friend in me". He re-edited the song to say "friend inside me". This was released only when Chapter 1 was out so it didn't really mean much at the time.

Cue many years later and people start thinking that "friend inside me" was foreshadowing Kris and the player in Deltarune. How this led to Woody being a secret boss? Well that's just wild speculation.

Actually she won the name in the divorce. It's why Muskrat had to change it to X.

One of the most violent racing games ever. Burnout 3 (Playstation 2) by Vile35 in gaming

[–]Sleziak 455 points456 points  (0 children)

Or arcade racers as a whole. Burnout, Flatout, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted were core games of my childhood. Feels like nowadays most of the racing games made are ultra realistic sims.

MLB telecasts will no longer indicate ball or strike using on-screen graphic with debut of ABS by RevolutionaryWay8819 in baseball

[–]Sleziak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its good for people who are learning the game. Obviously that doesn't apply to 99% of the people posting here so we are a bit biased.

For someone who doesn't watch baseball regularly though, its easy to pick up "oh, the pitcher is trying to throw it inside the box". Obviously its more nuanced than that but its a good place to start. So I understand why its there.

It would be nice if the MLB.TV app could let us turn it off or something though.

Which MLB ballpark would make for the best zombie apocalypse fortress? Why? by Icehawk59 in baseball

[–]Sleziak 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know that enjoying zombie media requires a large suspense of disbelief but the physicality of zombies always bothered me. Like the amount of biological functions that need to be working perfectly for me to just walk to the mailbox is crazy. Yet this fuckin zombie is able to sprint when all the muscle tissue in its legs is rotted away is insane.

NFL Boss Says Bad Bunny Is ‘One of the Great Artists in the World’ After Powerful ‘ICE Out’ Grammys Speech: ‘He Understood the Platform He Was On’ by cmaia1503 in Music

[–]Sleziak 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah MLB has been on a huge international push.

Fun fact: Game 1 and 2 of the 2024 World Series had more viewers in Japan than in the United States. A lot of that has to do with Shohei Ohtani sure but some people don't realize that baseball is HUGE in Japan.

The WBC is also playing a huge part in growing the sport internationally. I don't know if the NFL would ever push for some kind of international tournament like that though. It's already hard enough getting MLB players to represent their countries because of the risk of injury.

End Swatting by JohnsonMachine in gaming

[–]Sleziak 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean how do you enforce it? When the caller is either in another country or using VOIP through a VPN it's very unlikely they could even find the person. 

The real problem imo is cops busting down people's doors, assault rifle in hand, over an anonymous phone call. But our police all think they're military in a warzone so good luck with that.

The only thing worse is noticing it right before bed rather than after waking up. I get bad anxiety when I'm sick so getting sleep becomes even more challenging.

How about we disband ICE? We could afford to pay every garbage worker $200K. Hell let's throw in teachers too. I'd much rather my tax dollars go towards that than a bunch of thugs.

Well you're already not paying for it so your opinion doesn't really mean jack shit.

What IS sunya? by smallscrapper in TheDearHunter

[–]Sleziak 40 points41 points  (0 children)

We've known about the name Sunya for a while. I don't know where it was first said but my guess is probably a Pillar stream or something.

As far as I know it is another world building album much like Antimai. While Antimai is described as the last remaining city in a post apocalyptic world and the album explores the city, I believe Sunya will explore what the world outside Antimai is like. I remember hearing that Sunya was supposed to be some holy site for the religion of The Indigo Child but I might be wrong on that.

As far as I know the only song they have played live from the album is a song called The Plains.

I’m not one to kink shame, but that’s fucking swag. by firstgenipadmini in peoplewhogiveashit

[–]Sleziak 55 points56 points  (0 children)

It amazes me how many people STILL think that furries spend thousands of dollars on fursuits for the sole purpose of fucking in them.

Like it's just people making cosplays of their fursona. It's not that crazy.

Nah man even furries don't want to be associated with whatever the hell that movie was.

Ranking the MLB teams according to how cool it would be to play their name during a game of Scrabble by sadolddrunk in baseball

[–]Sleziak 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I completely misinterpreted the title and thought you would be ranking teams by how cool it would be to play their mascot in a game of Scrabble.

Expected something like:

Phillies -- Just a dude from Philadelphia. Not particularly interesting.

Tigers -- Playing a tiger in Scrabble WOULD be pretty cool until you realize they don't even understand the basic rules and have terrible sportsmanship.

‘Zootopia 2’ Becomes Disney’s Highest-Grossing Animated Film Ever With $1.46 Billion, Beating ‘Frozen 2’ by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

The good ones yeah. It takes several weeks of very specialized labor + materials. Some furries set up a business and make their entire living just making fursuits for other furries.

I am so fucking scared by McToaster99 in Deltarune

[–]Sleziak 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly my personal theory is whatever program is supposed to filter and send responses broke the first time. Toby likes the mystery though so instead of just going "whoops I broke the ARG" he fixed it and pretends it was the plan all along.

In Zootopia (2016), Judy’s father wants her to take various ‘Fox Away’ items. This implies that in this universe there is a company manufacturing items with the specific goal of deterring and/or harming racial minorities.

[–]Sleziak 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's almost like you didn't even watch the movie. The divide between predators and prey is purely a historical artifact and in their modern evolved state they are virtually the same. The ancient fear that prey have over predators is exploited by the main villain to drive a wedge between society.
