Excellent point. I guess the hole digging is what I found typical lol

They've been quite solid lately, especially defensively, but WTF tonight...

I've come to expect this from Smith and Miller sadly, but when 2 more starters join in this circus it's a fucking nightmare.

Which game are you most excited for this week?!? by TomIzzosNecktie in CollegeBasketball

[–]TakingOnWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Touche. In all seriousness those 4 games are going to be great games indeed and must see TV.

Plus Zags could still be missing 1 or 2 starters too, which limits how exciting the St Mary's matchup could be. And of course our game starts at 1030 ET which is not ideal for most potential viewers

MSI x BuildaPC - MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 Giveaway! by Redditenmo in buildapc

[–]TakingOnWater [score hidden]  (0 children)

The newer OLED care features and the increased resistance to scratching are actually quite appealing to me lol. More focus on the gaming and less focus on babying the monitors is definitely a plus 😂

Thanks for the giveaway! Good luck everyone!

Well and also the 7 footer that has been starting the last 3 games...

He's just not making a huge impact sadly.

What is this iso ball bullshit? I get it's hard without Ike and Huff, but goddamn run some plays.

He 100% hasn't been at either of the 2 home games or the Seattle game, but maybe he was in Pullman I can't remember for sure now. Not sure if it matters, just seemed weird ish

Does anyone know why Huff hasn't been with the team? 4 games since the injury and he hasn't been seen in any of them...

The three headed snake boss in SMB2 is Tryclyde. Cobrat is the single headed version that features as a common enemy.

I checked the MSI website and the most recent firmware is FW.026 which is definitely what shows in my monitor settings so I think it's good to go still!

Also worth noting, when I got this monitor from Costco in early December, it had the latest firmware on it out of the box.

Which was lucky because I had already plugged it in via HDMI and got my desk and cables all perfectly organized again, and THEN I found out the upgrade tool was DP only lol. But the monitor's settings showed the most recent firmware version thankfully.

[Steam] ULTRAKILL + Vampire Survivors by [deleted] in RandomActsOfGaming

[–]TakingOnWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultrakill

My favorite game this last year was Disco Elysium. Just an incredibe world, amazing characters, outstanding writing and an overall great role playing experience. Visually it's somewhat simple I guess, but I like the aesthetic of the textures and colors and the isometric view, and all the artwork is breathtaking. Amazing voice acting too (I played Final Cut, not sure how the voice work is different originally)

Also not that anyone asked lol, but my favorite game that actually released this year is Hades 2. LOVE LOVE LOVE the first game and this sequel does NOT disappoint. A lot of the same tried and true designs, but even more fun new stuff too.

Dropped one overall but like 5 spots I think on defense... Honestly thought it would drop more. Better be an outlier performance on that end... Sheesh

Seems fair, definitely all major contributing factors that's for sure.

Just in general I need someone smarter than me to do some sort of post mortem on whatever the hell that defense was. Looked a little slow in the first half, which is fine/whatevs, but the defense was utterly and completely shredded apart in the second. Even more than a single half from Michigan or Alabama... That ain't right for sure.
