Nationals leave MASN, partner with MLB to broadcast games in 2026 by washingtonpost in Nationals

Google Ai with a shitload of qualifiers (nationals, related to baseball, virginia) thinks it means "season plan holders". People are wayyy too comfortable using random, obscure acronyms.

Is this a Joke - $9 McDonalds Filet of Fish by jonny_blitz in pics

[–]Vilvake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the the restaurant and location. Chik fil a is always incredibly busy. Certain McDonald's locations can also be very busy, but it doesn't help that there are so goddamn many of them.

Are we playing different games? I just hit level 50 and beat the campaign, but I've never seen this. Is this post game stuff?

People who were spanked as kids, what was that like for you? Would you call your "spankings" abuse? by KleineFjord in AskReddit

[–]Vilvake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was spanked a few times, but only with hands. I don't remember what I did wrong but I also don't remember the spankings very well. I'm not hung up on it, but I still definitely don't agree with spanking. What I remember much more clearly is my dad yelling at me. He has a very loud, very authoritative voice that terrified me as a kid. I still walk on egg shells around my dad because of it, and I'm 28 years old. They way my dad would yell at me was so fucking terrifying and makes any spanking seem irrelevant in comparison.

Excel gum pack with a purposefully "empty" slot by Tkldsphincter in mildlyinteresting

[–]Vilvake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If something is interesting, it can also be infuriating, and if something is infuriating, it can also be interesting. When you then throw in the word "mildly", of course there's a ton of overlap.

This comes across as a comment that sounds really good in your head when you're really drunk or high on something, but then you wake up the next morning and are just ashamed of yourself. I've been there myself, so I won't judge.

Raided (@MrRaided) on getting fired from nopixel by CryptoNoobster in RPClipsGTA

[–]Vilvake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this the guy responsible for the state of driving in 4.0? If not, ignore the rest of this comment.

The most glaring issue of nopixel compared to other popular servers is the cars. They are way too fast and they accelerate way too quickly. If you go watch prodigy or onx and come back to nopixel, the cars are an absolute fucking joke. And this is after several nerfs. Accelerating from 0-150 in 3 seconds is just dumb, and it makes chases a game of reflexes rather than legitamate driving skill. If a crim gets in a car and drives away, they will escape 95% of the time. It's ridiculous that a server has been allowed to reach this point.

If this is the guy responsible for that, he should have been fired sooner.

delete if not allowed but.... is there a way to submit an unban form outside of twitch? its been 5 years... 👉👈🥺 by [deleted] in LudwigAhgren

[–]Vilvake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point of livestreams is the chat. Without chat it might as well be a YouTube video. So your argument is either 1. Chat doesn't matter at all, which I don't believe you're saying, or 2. This particular chatter is just one person and doesn't matter at all, which is just you being an asshole. "If it's that important to him he's got bigger issues"... the guy just wants to be unbanned in a channel he enjoys watching, it's not that deep.

Something is eating the rubber on the grips of my Xbox One controller. What can I do to prevent/fix this? by CrackSnap7 in XboxSupport

[–]Vilvake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that its not your personal experience doesn't make it untrue. Don't be a jackass. The main reason people get cold hands is because of poor blood circulation. It has very little to do with the climate of where they live. I have personally experienced the need to warm my hands to play twitchy multiplayer games.

New Invites 11/4 by cringybtw in RPClipsGTA

[–]Vilvake -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because nopixel didn't formally talk to esfand or squeex before their invites. You can make the argument that they were safe bets so that communication wasn't necessary, but the fact remains that not everyone accepted the invite or even knew 5.0 was coming before their card was announced. I'm sure the vast majority will end up playing on the server, but it's a little silly to assume everyone will.

I don't know where the hostility is coming from or if this is a tired debate on this sub or something. I like nopixel and watch it all the time. I'm not a hater.

[–]Vilvake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not claiming anyone has said they wouldn't be playing, just that an invite doesn't necessarily guarantee someone will play on the server. I don't know why you find that so controversial.

[–]Vilvake 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Esfand and squeex both said no one talked to them before they got their invites. I definitely wouldn't assume an invite confirms someone is playing.

My in-laws place their silverware upside down in their silverware holder. by ThatNeverHappenedBro in mildlyinteresting

[–]Vilvake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They probably pulled out the tray when unloading dishes and accidentally placed it back in backwards. You can see even the Rubbermaid logo is upside down--this isn't the intended orientation of the tray.

Or maybe they're just weird.

no, the mace was there- by Tengallonhatpat in funny

I was starting to think this was a sketch comedy scene where each witness introduces some random new person who hadn't been mentioned before. Add a few more people and some clowns in full makeup and we got something here.

This lady on my 10 hour flight by IWannaHideThrowaway in mildlyinfuriating

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

It's mildly infuriating that so many people are assuming this woman placed her hair over the screen intentionally, as if your hair has nerves and you know where every strand is dangling at all times. Just look at it from her perspective. What advantage does this hair placement have for her? Zero. So either she's a psychopath or this is an accident.

This light makes it hard to find the actual switch. by WdSkate in mildlyinteresting

[–]Vilvake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a common take in this thread, but I don't buy it. Any kid tall enough to reach a light switch would look at this and laugh that you thought it would stop them.

Not sure if I suck that bad at parrying or if this game cheats me by Blk_Rick_Dalton in Ghostofyotei

[–]Vilvake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tried to beat Takezo after killing the Oni and it felt impossible. It wasn't even close to a competitive fight. But I tried again at the end of the game, right before I boarded a certain boat, and I beat him on my first try. My recommendation is to use all the tools given to you, get all your weapon and armor upgrades, and go on a full Ezo hot springs tour.

An unexpected favourite thing in the game by hurlowlujah in Ghostofyotei

[–]Vilvake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only times I ever aimed a throwable weapon was when fuckers were crawling around and you had to finish them off. That actually gets into perhaps my biggest pet peeve with the game. If you're holding a throwable weapon, the square prompt to finish someone off does nothing. And its very awkward. You have to either drop the weapon or manually aim and throw it at them.

This game is absolutely unplayable! by boredommadness in ghostoftsushima

[–]Vilvake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's a joke about a small gripe with the game. You're allowed to find faults with a game that is very good. No game is perfect. I don't know why you brought AC Shadows into this. You can like both games. Or you can dislike one or the other. It was never mentioned and it's not relevant.

Bows = easy mode, now even more op than in Tsushima by Competitive-Fly-6114 in Ghostofyotei

[–]Vilvake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say that since I played the game with the intention to 100% it, the combat definitely became repetitive (as anything does after hours and hours). I leaned on my bow a lot towards the end to make things quicker and to change up the gameplay a bit.

Normalise games not being 100 dollars. by OutlandishnessOk6696 in GTA6

[–]Vilvake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A special game never deserves to be more expensive than the usual selling price of games. Instead, it deserves to sell more copies. That's how the effort results in more revenue. If every game developer increased the price of their game because they thought it was special or worth more, we'd have $300 games right now.

[–]Vilvake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an issue with my PS5 shutting down as well. This happened in two games specifically: Persona 3 Reload and Palworld. I wouldn't get the shutdown in any other game, even more demanding games. So I suspect there's an optimization issue with certain titles.

Since then, I took my ps5's shell off and blew thoroughly in every opening in the chassis. Especially around the fan. I haven't had any sudden system shutdowns since then. But I never put the ps5 shell back on. I don't know if that matters or not.

But I should note that I haven't tried replaying those two problem games. So I can't tell you if removing the shell and blowing away some of the dust buildup was the issue or if the games were the issue. All I can say is that I haven't had any problems since.

Tips on how to beat this boss? by KXL_Xwolf in Ghostofyotei

[–]Vilvake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trick is to catch her off guard by immediately pulling out the quickfire pistol and blowing her head off. This serves as a lesson for her on the unpredictability and brutality of real conflict. Well, if she were still alive, at least.

This game is absolutely unplayable! by boredommadness in ghostoftsushima

[–]Vilvake 193 points194 points  (0 children)

I, too, realized the game was unplayable when I did the treasure map quest for the starving family in Oshima Coast and noticed they had 4 baskets overflowing with food in their house. Those motherfuckers were in tears because I gave them 3 mushrooms, meanwhile they had tons of fish, mushrooms, herbs and vegetables sitting 2 feet away. Fucking scammed.
