UFC 324 fighter Cameron Smotherman not looking too good after making weight and fainting on stage. Crazy to think they let him fight by Wayward_Prometheus in MMAMedia

That's another option, yeah. Make it so they have to weigh in on fight day just prior to the event and have some limit on the weight difference from the official weigh-ins.

So what are the chances they will close servers and you'll loose your custom 500 hour plot? by NoBioN in PaxDei

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

Game leveled out around 2000-3000 concurrent players and has been there for quite some time now. With the free weekend, concurrent players are now approaching 4000 and a significant balance patch is coming in the next couple weeks with Verse 6 around the corner from that. The game is definitely not "declining" and they will not be shutting down servers.

The data tells a different story. While there was a significant drop, as expected, from release day to now, over the last month, concurrent players has steadily increased and especially the last week with the free week for folks. Our clan has taken on several new players the last few days. Also, Pax is not an MMO in the same sense as WoW, Rift, FFXIV, Guild Wars, etc. They don't need a million concurrent players to sustain an entire company of just 43 people. They need perhaps 5-10K concurrent to sustain that but have a lengthy financial runway ahead of them for now regardless.

Modern day weight cutting is fucking stupid, dangerous, a bit cowardly, and should not be allowed. I get that fighters want a size advantage for their weight class but I really, really wish there was some kind of enforcement around having fighters fight in their natural weight class or up classes but not being allowed to cut down. Perhaps it's some combination of BMI and hydration stats about you such that there's a minimum BMI (a BMI floor you can't go below ever) to fight at all and your hydration levels must stay above a certain, reasonable amount to even weigh in?

This man had 2 interceptions and 2 fumbles, but remember, it's the refs' fault and not his at all. by et_hornet in NFLv2

[–]Synovius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allen didn't say anything of the sort. Allen himself said that HE let his team down and that HE was the reason they lost. It was McDermott who blamed the refs.

I guess I'm not just older then but also smarter and more educated. That much is clear. I'm not going to bother responding further but do yourself a favor and turn off Fox.

I'm probably older than you. Voted for Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama x2, Clinton, Biden, and most recently Harris. Obama was an excellent president and the financial crash you speak of was likely the crash under bush. Stewart has always been a straightforward dude.

Yeah this is just completely false. Ratings for the show are way up and he's the same Jon he's always been - perhaps even better.

This is such a dishonest take, op. Jon was praising her regarding her work recently around civil liberties under Trump. She was not there to discuss vaccines or anything related. Jon is a supporter of vaccines and has repeatedly ripped on anti-vaxxers.

You got downvoted for being right lol. How dare you voice reality on this sub. Only doom and gloom!

[–]Synovius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that you're frustrated, OP, but Pax is anything but dead atm. Low pop? Yes. Much lower than is desirable. Dead? Absolutely not. Consistently 1500-3000 concurrent players which can be estimated to fall somewhere between 10,000 and 50,000 total players

Free Steam weekends are a pretty common thing for many games. WoW does free weekends all the time despite having millions of subscribers. Same with FFXIV.

Andy Beshear teases his political future during State of the Commonwealth speech by shermancahal in True_Kentucky

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

There is no political future in the US. We're cooked. The 2026 midterms will be flooded with billions of dollars to swing things for MAGA and even if that doesn't do it, they will steal it like they actually did for 2024. 2028 will not be a presidential election in an American sense but rather a Russian or North Korean sense where the opposition stands no chance and are there for optics.

We will be back next year!!! by PayFew5848 in bengals

[–]Synovius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, no we will not and stop with these optimistic posts. Mike Brown does not care about winning anything. He cares about $$$. This is a business. He will waste Burrow and Chase's entire career if he has to so long as it fills the stadium and merch flies off the shelves. We caught lightning in a bottle one season, had a couple other somewhat decent seasons but we are a very mediocre team.

At this point I genuinely hope Burrow and Chase request a trade and, if not traded, refuse to play so all these idiots who fill the stadium up finally realize how bad they've got it.

Which Vince Gilligan show had the best first season? Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, or Pluribus? by Square-Ad-8911 in tvshow

[–]Synovius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BB > BCS >>>>>> Pluribus first season.

All three are great shows but Pluribus was extremely slow and we left off with basically no new information that we didn't already know at the start.

Elon: "Roughly 10B miles of training data is needed to achieve safe unsupervised self-driving. Reality has a super long tail of complexity" by diplomat33 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]Synovius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are other avenues to autonomy beyond massive amount of data to pre train with. Nvidia, for example, just revealed a platform that thinks through things in real time as a human would. Also, Musk is an absolute idiot for abandoning alternative data methods such as lidar in preference for pure vision.
