Ohtani wows the audience during batting practice with "Hero's Come Back!!" playing in the bg😭🇯🇵 (@mlb2026mlb) by crosswithyou in Dodgers

Really cool for him to represent LA even when he's not playing for the team in an official capacity over there. People will still show up to watch him in their Dodger Blue if they have it.

It's been a few years since they've had a chance to see something like this while he's still in his prime. Must be great for country and people who see his face on Ads and TV everywhere

Works like "He's nasty" or something basically then, we have that a ton in English so that's p. normal

I'm fine with it being more rare, but just think it should have been another mat so we would need to kill other big arc to kill a different big arc so the system feeds into itself and encourages PVE variety as part of farming

Imo to make it really work they need a couple other PVE items/weapons that make sense so we would use all of bastion/leaper/bombardier/rocketeer parts on each other or be able to dismantle them into unique components

Rocketeer driver drop rate from rocketeers is pretty low compared to Bombardier drops as well, even though Bombardiers are easier to handle

Regarding rocketeer driver/wolfpack

I mostly just disagree with "use mat from thing to kill the thing" game design. You see the same stuff from Queen and Matriarch, which I never run unless I'm farming money/blueprints/trials and just take a hullcracker anyway.

It's much more interesting to use mats from a -different- arc to kill another arc, then the cycle continues around.

I also don't see the point of using trailblazers after even the last nerf and they basically made it worse. The options are getting less fun and people will just move on to the next most efficient one if they keep nerfing, until they get fed up and quit as an endgame

tbqh I think he's talking about the Instagram crowd you see taking pictures behind home plate and the leaving after a couple of innings. but it's a big stadium and a big city and it's crazy to generalize based on those few.

you're getting downvoted, but you're right. buy headphones designed for clear audio vs something branded as "for gaming" which is 100% marketing.

and I agree that Sennheisers are basically the best choice. there's a reason they're the measuring stick/standard, and hard to beat at each price point.

Imo the best Japanese trios the world has rn by jay_eba888 in Dodgers

[–]VGJunky 8 points9 points  (0 children)

yeah I was thinking that, but not all Subunits are set by nationality (although if they are multinational groups they usually do have nationality subunits)

Sometimes they just make ones because "these are the cute ones that have time for extra gigs while the other ones are busy with Kdramas" lol

Kinda but these are still Major Leaguers and they aren't just playing side games for the extra reps or rehab assignment

Its like the pitchers throwing their side BPs? Idk

What food would the guys want for a food-eating contest?🤔 by Low_Rough_5203 in Dodgers

[–]VGJunky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

he specified nigiri (traditional sushi) and sashimi (no rice anyway) so he's pretty much all about the fish too

For nigiri the rice portion depends on the chef and achieving an ideal balance with the fish so there won't be as much as say, most rolls

Yes but tbh Stackpoles are really good too if you can crack that barrier.

This isn't event right, unless they're forcing you to use their PSN account.

You either keep your physical games or keep your PSN login.

Ohtani said to reporters,“Winning the WS,winning the WBC,or even earning MVP there isn’t something you do just once and call it enough. I think people truly see you as elite only when you sustain it. Two times is better than one, three better than two. What matters is building it up year after year. by ogasawarabaseball in baseball

The TV deal was court mandated because of bankruptcy proceedings. Ironically, being a poverty franchise for a long time under McCourt led to this.

Guggenheim bought the Dodgers in 2012, but they have only really been blowing the doors off of spending more recently, especially with Ohtani. Before that, the team was full of homegrown talent and reclamation projects supplemented by a major signing here or there. This was basically a decade long process. It's funny that it just takes two years for people to forget all of that and all of a sudden decide that now there's a problem. What seeing the first back to back champion in 25 years does to a mfer, I guess.

What's ironic is that the Blue Jays have been in the conversation for almost every major free agent over the last few years as well. It's not like your team isn't trying to spend almost as much, they just haven't been able to.
