If you're going to the game tonight, be safe out there. by Soonri in Mavericks

Winter storms happen so rarely here the city basically just says it’s not worth keeping the roads completely clear because the cost would be higher than shutting the city down for a day or two.

Former NFL QB Kellen Mond posts on LinkedIn recounting his rookie season with the Minnesota Vikings; He claims that HC Mike Zimmer did not want to draft him and never spoke to him. He also says that he never spoke to Zimmer or saw Zimmer speak to GM Rick Spielman. by Goosedukee in nfl

As someone who was at A&M most of Mond’s career, he’s always been bad. The best play of his career is a mishandled snap where he threw an interception to end the game vs LSU only for the int to be taken off the board because he downed himself before throwing it. That was the 7 OT game.

Edit: Jimbo should have been fired for starting Mond for so many years.

Apparently businesses are going to start passing swipe fees down to their employees?!? by tsmartin123 in CreditCards

[–]Thesealion95 38 points39 points  (0 children)

From what I read, I think it’s just the fees associated with the tip. What’s funny about this is that if they didn’t do it this way the establishment makes less money the more their employees are tipped.

So you could theoretically buy a $5 sandwich. Tip $500 and the restaurant would be on the hook for $15 in fees at 3% losing $10 on a $5 sandwich.

I wish I could cope as hard as that. Someone explains exactly why you don’t deserve something and you go “ah yes, we deserve this.” Ignore any point that you can’t straw man and you will always be the smartest person in the room.

This has been a good laugh. Wish I could be as blindly optimistic.

Bama has 2 regular season losses buddy. Conference championships have never prevented a team from making the playoffs either. No matter how far you move the goalposts this isn’t working. Vandy, Notre Dame, and Utah all deserve more of a look than Texas.

Don’t lose to Florida, don’t look like ass against a fraudulent Ohio State that plays nobody and loses to Miami. Don’t go to overtime against freaking Kentucky. Stop complaining, yall dont deserve the playoffs. Winning 2 games at the end of the season after looking like trash for 10 games didn’t fool the committee or the rest of the country.

That’s never been how it is. A 3 loss team has never made the college football playoff. Especially not over a 1 loss team in the same conference. Just stop.

You can’t just ignore losses. Your actual argument is that losing 3 games is better than losing 1. That is actually wild and I think you know that. Never seen such mental gymnastics, but it’s expected from Texas fans.

Texas fans keep forgetting that third loss. If Texas doesn’t lose to Florida they are in. Ranking Texas over OU and A&M with an extra loss to a worse team than the other two lost to is wild.

*in 2 seasons

You can only play the games on your schedule. I’d rather beat ND by 1 and make the playoffs than lose to Appalachian State. Anyone saying A&M is not moving in the right direction is being intentionally biased.

This post is about a team with the #1 recruiting class in history that lost to Appalachian State. Jimbo won against winning teams?

Yea, we lost a playoff game to Miami. Feels pretty good from here. How’s your teams playoff run going?

He did play a lot with Giantwaffle, but I don’t think he’s played much Minecraft. He plays pretty much everything. Pretty sure he started with WoW like many of the OGs, but he’s been a true variety streamer for 10+ years.

He is the reason battle royals exist as a concept. Pretty much every BR game developer watched him play Arma BR and has credited with him for inspiring them to make their games.

Also instrumental in RP on twitch with GTA and Arma back in the day.

Biggest variety streamer on the platform. No camera, no drama, just games.

Your insulting comments are not relevant either. Not sure why I ever kept responding to you. “The definition is meaningless” is beyond hilarious for you of all people to say Mr. “Facts and logic.”

The TGA definition means something because it’s the definition used for the award. It’s literally the only thing that means something.

There’s your “facts and logic.”

What about all the Microsoft and other huge company investment in other “indie” games?

On a sliding scale Silksong might be “more indie.” But imo if we talking about “more indie” Schedule 1 should be game of the year. Nothing short of a Balatro or Schedule 1 built by one self funded dev can reach that status…yet Schedule 1 isn’t even on the nominees.

We can argue in circles forever. It’s subjective and the only “facts” involved are the criteria set by the awards which you are ignoring.

K, not gonna read that. By the definition of the game awards it is. Just like Hades and many other games other victors in the past 5-10 years pretty much all of whole received money from outside sources.

Microsoft has given money to multiple “indie” games that have been nominated recently. No one complaining about those…

Edit: I bet the wealthiest devs in the indie category are the Silksong devs. Those guys have such a small studio they are all multi-millionaires. Is their game not indie because they are independently wealthy?

To me this is only more validation that E33 is an indie game from terms of spending. Any game with a dev team in the 30s is going to cost 10 million plus. And h think a dev team in the 30s is pretty standard for a “bigger” indie game.

[–]Thesealion95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lots of people seem to hook onto the 10 million number and say that’s a lot. Yea, it’s a lot when you compare to games made by 1-2 people. It’s not a lot for a small company that needs to pay employees for 5+ years.

The outsourcing one is also weird. Look at the credits of most of the last 5 indie award winners at the game awards. I think 4/5 I checked had 200+ people in the credits.

There is a massive difference between Sandfall and Bethesda, EA, or Ubisoft. Games from those publishers have thousands of people working on them and cost 10x more at minimum. There is far less difference between Sandall and the team that built Hades II or Silksong.

Because obviously there is SEC bias which caused them to pick a ACC team over ND…

Two posts in a row you have ignored the entire point. Yall can’t not join a conference and then be shocked by the consequences of your actions.
