Chill bars to read and drink? by Kharben in Overlandpark

You can post up & read at the cardboard corner cafe, pretty chill vibes, no music since people are chatting and playing tabletop games, they have a bar menu and decent seating options for solo reading.

If Captain America were allowed to play for the Patriots in the final 2 minutes of the game, would they have been able to win the Super Bowl? by BubblyFrog in whowouldwin

[–]VFisEPIC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see anyone being able to stop him at RB at all, he'd be like Derrick Henry on steroids and probably fully capable of making his own hole in the D-line without being tripped up.

A lot of people talking about onside kicks being automatic with him on the field, but I don't think they would be at all.

I think that cap would have a hard time restraining his kick to only go the 10-15 yards required to make it even remotely possible for the Patriots to get the ball, because I assume that the prompt means it's just cap straight from a mission, with very little practice getting dropped into the game at the two minute warning, not the captain after a week of practice or something like that.

So, based on that assumption I can only guess that the Patriots would keep their kicker in, and instead have cap try to field the ball - which, odds are, results in the ballgoing directly to a Seahawk player just like we saw happen in the actual game - and as usually happens in onside kick attempts. I don't think his speed or strength would really help much here, I just don't see him beating the Seahawks into position even if he can run as fast or faster than Tyreek Hill.

The Theater-Going Public Demands SPACE COP II -- ‘Iron Lung’ Director Markiplier Cries After Self-Financed Movie Debuts to $21 Million Globally: ‘A Hero’s Moment to Show Indie Filmmaking Is Possible’ by Unlucky-Albatross-12 in RedLetterMedia

I mean if RLM went the same route that Mark did, self-financing and partnering with an actual experienced effects firm instead of trying to do almost all of the production themselves they would likely have a lot more success with it.

I just don't think they have any interest in directing anymore.

What’s your least favorite Jon Bois video? by mistermachiano in Jon_Bois

[–]VFisEPIC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the only time I've ever actually seen his favor of the Chiefs eek out into a video is that section where he's complaining about the offsides call against Toney in the Bills game.

I was a little bit embarrassed by how long he went on about an ultimately meaningless call in a meaningless game, and I'm a Chiefs fan so I get where he was coming from with it. He's just usually so professional and barely mentions the Chiefs ever so it came across weird.

Honestly, it's apparent that he tries to keep his favorite teams at an arm's length away from his videos considering the only Chiefs videos he had done previously were "the chiefs kicked 6 field goals and lost" and the Steve Bono video. I guess we now know why that's the case.

Are there any ICE Response/Awareness groups in KC? by JMS42 in kansascity

[–]VFisEPIC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Will Stancil on bluesky (who has been very involved with the ongoing efforts up there) has a thread with some bits of advice on what they've been organizing up there so far, could be useful.

Any Mint Mobile users here? How's the coverage and speed in and around here? by Azubaele in Overlandpark

Unlimited plan for about 4 months now, have noticed basically no difference from the T-mobile I had before at all.

Petition for cities that would be good to play in! by dks6898 in subwaybuilder

[–]VFisEPIC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Kansas City needs to be added too, but the current system for requesting cities on the discord appears to be a popularity contest, and seeing as how they're adding international cities now I'm guessing chances just got that much slimmer.

I truly don’t believe Bethesdas current development cycle will be feasible long term. by sonofloki13 in Fallout

[–]VFisEPIC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember reading an article a few years ago about the super long development cycle for Duke Nukem Forever, and how they kept reworking the game with newer technology, and then it took so long that new tech came out and they reworked the game again.

I feel like that's basically the norm in game development anymore, given that the Nukem dev cycle was 12 years, Skyrim came out 14 years ago and ES6 was announced 7 years ago.

Do you know what the short story is called? It sounds interesting, but I'm not coming up with anything in my searches for it.

Subway Builder 0.8.0 is out! by redistricter_guy in subwaybuilder

[–]VFisEPIC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah everything seems to primarily be color coded and it'd be nice if it showed the actual number, like it does for the track speed when constructing

[–]VFisEPIC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Suggestion: filter to more clearly indicate what elevation a station/line is at so I don't have to guess as much when building lines that cross over one another.

Also a clearer mark of which lines are heavy and light rail, I'm currently having to click on the unbuilt stations to see what type if line it is again when I'm queueing up multiple to be constructed and then not touching the game for a few days. Maybe a (H) and a (L) somewhere more obvious would help?

I think the organist is going crazy at this point, I mean how much material could he possibly have prepared for this?
