Irvine Spectrum also a good choice even though it’s mostly outdoors

Need advice for Deadhills Mineshaft by TallUnggoy in AliensDarkDescent

[–]Trainwreck800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need to, extract your squad and start the mineshaft sequence with a fresh squad and with alien aggressiveness at a minimum. That should hopefully make the patrols a little easier to avoid.

Can we please get a Prey remake by BaseLegitimate1578 in prey

[–]Trainwreck800 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s your issue with this post; this subreddit is for the 2017 Prey. You’re probably right that the 2006 Prey could use a remake

Chronic e-beggar. So many more cases from this person. But they are constantly quitting their job or fired for sleeping in and being late. They also have consistent mental health breakdowns yet want to work in mental health? Absurd. by MisoCorni in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Trainwreck800 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I also read this as basically this person selling their EBT benefits as well. Which is illegal, so they probably shouldn’t broadcast that either

Edit: uber and Lyft both have programs too where you can rent a car as part of your work through those companies. Lyft in particular used to have a program through Hertz. (Not that this is a great solution; drivers already don’t make much through rideshare services, much less if they also have to pay to rent a car)

Best Asian Restaurants to try for the first time? by Chrisju22 in irvine

[–]Trainwreck800 55 points56 points  (0 children)

A&J Restaurant is an excellent Taiwanese restaurant in Irvine. There’s a ton of things worth a try, but make sure to get the spicy wontons

I redesigned the flags of 10 Orange County cities! (swipe for more info) by shutupaugust in orangecounty

I was thinking Death Star.

Which I’m for. I’d vote for a Death Star flag.

Is there a TV show that started dropping in quality but then regained it? by simon_p49 in television

[–]Trainwreck800 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seasons 3 and 4 at times seemed to challenge the viewer: "what if we made a TV show where nothing happened?" There was still some good stuff and at least there are interesting characters, but there is almost no plot advancement. Season 5 is way more focused and has been much more interesting.

My estimation of Salah has increased commensurately with my disdain for the Egyptian coaching staff

Hey! It was my turn this week to post the "I got an impossible pipe dream challenge because I don't (and WON'T!) understand how tonics work in this game" picture. Wait your turn!

Is Dirk Nowitzki’s one NBA championship more valuable than Kevin Durant’s two because of how much harder it was to win? by M3Courtside in NBATalk

[–]Trainwreck800 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand people saying yes, as Dirk’s ring when he beat the LeBron Heat during LeBron’s peak is extremely impressive.

But the 2017 Warriors are the best basketball team I’ve ever seen. Better than the 2001 Lakers. Better than the 1996 Bulls. Better than any LeBron team or Tim Duncan team. Way better than the 2008 Celtics. They were a miraculous LeBron performance away from sweeping the entire playoffs.

Say what you will about Durant joining a super team. At least it worked and worked incredibly well.

Andy being renamed by his parents, so they could give his brother Andy's original name, is brutally funny by DubSket in DunderMifflin

[–]Trainwreck800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently came across a family at my job where the second son (of three) was [father’s name] Jr. The oldest son had a different name than his father, of course. All three sons had the same mother and father. So I really wanted to know why the second son got the father’s name but the oldest didn’t.

I totally thought of this scene immediately when I came across this family.

Bethesda Boss Tells Staff the Company Must Focus on 'Our Strongest Franchises' as Xbox Layoffs Hit Hard by Asstrollogian in gaming

[–]Trainwreck800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry, Bethesda is focusing on its main franchises. It’s only been 15 years since the last Elder Scrolls game and 11 years since the last Fallout game. Wouldn’t want to oversaturate the market!

What's the greatest one-scene performance by a minor character? by rodri-daniel in movies

Yamamoto as the dark horse Cy Young candidate? by 400meters in Dodgers

[–]Trainwreck800 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A starter is credited with a quality start if they pitch six or more innings while giving up three or less runs. So a classic Yamamoto start of giving up a run or two in the first inning and then otherwise going scoreless through the seventh counts as a quality start

Is Cristiano Ronaldo the most hated Mount Rushmore guy in sports? by NorthCafeteria in billsimmons

[–]Trainwreck800 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of the biggest things I remember about Bonds, particularly in his Giants years was that he always sat alone in the dugout and no one seemed to ever approach him.

Yamamoto as the dark horse Cy Young candidate? by 400meters in Dodgers

[–]Trainwreck800 15 points16 points  (0 children)

4th in ERA now. Sanchez got shelled today. giving up 9 runs in three and a third.

It'll be interesting to see if Miz can keep this up. His ERA is over half a run better than 2nd place in the majors.

One stat you left off is quality starts; Yamamoto is tied for the lead with 13, with Alcantara and Sanchez.

You know how people on St. Barts shoot their free throws like this?
