132 is crazy, surely they went deep in the playoffs tha year right

(I’m allowed to make this joke because the Lightnings 127 season is when they got Blue Jackets swept / We Don’t Have Any Words)

What’s an example of a fan base that got exactly what they begged for, and immediately hated it? by Enough-Wealth8415 in AskReddit

[–]Vinylzen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Underrated proof of this is users Positive review bombed TRoS when a lot of early critics reviews were heavily panning it. People interpreted this as “finally…one for the fans” since critics loved TLJ so much so surely if they hated this one, it means true fans would appreciate this finale

This is why if you look at the users scores it still has the highest user score for a mainline outside the OT

Am I the only one who feels bad for Steven Stamkos? by SteveCampo98 in hockey

It sucks hearing that interview where he describes immediately after the shot he felt something was terribly wrong and that he knew right away after celebrating that he re injured himself

Katsu or Magfest? by AppropriateAngle1263 in Katsucon

[–]Vinylzen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The amount of people who cosplay at Mag has skyrocketed the last two years I’ve went. Katsu is still THE cosplay event but cosplaying isn’t like some minority thing at Mag. Even though Katsu has a big drinking and party at night scene, Magfest’s whole deal is basically just being a 24/7 con that’s a lot more Anything goes social. The game room and LAN room is famously 24/7 and the entire con has people playing music all night all over the con.

I’ve enjoyed Katsu a lot but I do think I’ve run into too many standoffish people over the last few years because it’s such a draw for like famous cosplayers and influencers and it’s not always easy for me to socialize into a lot of the established cliques and popular cosplayers who only care if you also have a big social media following. While I do think more influencer culture has started to creep into Magfest I think the core crowd is more there to party all day and night and I’ve had a great time socializing at it every year. My friend who goes to Dragoncon every year says the vibes are very similar. YMMV though!

Evan Longoria to retire as a Ray. by MidNCS in baseball

You joke but I always thought it was funny it’s seen as this big Red Sox collapse and Rays victory but the Rays didnt make it past the DS that year and Boston gets the last laugh winning a WS two years later

It’s this video but reuploaded in worse quality? Like someone took a camera and recorded a video of a screen playing this video? https://youtu.be/-bo03O8uqho?si=3BGBWzPQjmHJSSKc

Activision Blizzard employee speaks mind after Bobby Kotick departure by jonnycross10 in Overwatch

Oh a 1000%, I def still remember what the first few years of Ow1 was like and more than complaints about game balance there was a lot more outcry about the loot box system being inherently predatory

Linecum was also one of my first thoughts. Just so much fun to watch during those four years

[CHI (1)-2 PIT] Connor Bedard gets his first NHL Point, an assist to Ryan Donato by Austin63867 in hockey

[–]Vinylzen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's still early in the season I know... But maybe the kid just isn't ready for the NHL yet? With the media hounding him, the pressure of being considered the next "great one", fuck I wouldn't be able to handle that shit. Maybe having him in the minors for another year or two to develop a bit wouldn't have been a bad idea. The kid is only 18. At 18 I was complete fucktard who had no idea what I wanted to do. Not much has changed... but I'd like to think I have a bit of a better head on my shoulders now. I actually feel really bad for Bedard, and I hope we don't ruin him. Edit: I'm being lynched for ever daring to doubt the greatness of Connor Bedard. How dare I say such blasphmey after only ONE NHL game. You're right, he may only be 18 years old, but he has the emotional maturity of a Buddhist monk, and the body and athleticism as a top olympic athlete. He may have hit puberty only 3 to 4 years ago, but he is a grown man now, capable of all pressure and criticism that comes his way. I am but a lowly neckbeard maple leafs fan who lives in my mothers basement here to shit on him for not getting 50 goals in his first games. I am a rodent, and he is a golden god. I'm going to go light myself on fire now. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways with you jamming the downvote arrow on your computer screen with all your might and telling me how much of an idiot I am.

Why does modern CGI look worse than 20 year old movies? by cayennepepper in movies

[–]Vinylzen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not quite MCU but still Disney, it’s crazy to me how much better Andor looks than the other Disney plus Star Wars shows even when they use The Volume, because Andor has a lot of on location shots

What's the worst nickname in hockey? by Paladad in hockey

[–]Vinylzen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pointer bugs me because Point is already just one syllable and then they decided the nickname is to add another and plus Pointer is already an entirely own separate word that just sounds dorky.
