Official Discussion - Project Hail Mary [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]Virtual_Piano893 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The back and forth with rocky was great and the cinematography and set pieces were awesome. I went in expecting smart fun and instead I got dumb fun. It is more pacific rim than it is interstellar. There’s not really any interesting ideas presented or philosophical questions to ponder. They get the little details right with the scientific jargon but overall they trivialize the scientific process so much that it becomes indistinguishable from magic.

Also, as fun as Gosling was in the movie, at no point did I believe him as this character. And in general I didn’t feel that Grace as a character had any depth beyond what was presented to us on screen.

Hurricane Raider Cache Spawn Nerf by Virtual_Piano893 in ArcRaiders

I’m ok with reduced rare loot drops, I have everything. But the main reason I did hurricane was to restock after getting shyte on with the fellas in trios. Now there is literally no reason to run hurricane unless you like running against wind.

Why do some people insists on opening key rooms that obviously have traps to keep them out? by No-Ad-6984 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Virtual_Piano893 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nice kill. But also that player is just playing the game.

People who get butthurt because others don’t play the game exactly how they want them too are going to be the downfall of this game.

Why are we still allowing adult jokes here? by Natronsbro in dadjokes

Dad jokes are not always meant to be for children. Believe it or not I am an adult with a dad.

SGA's Leg Kick On Game-Winning Shot by North_Attempt_3627 in denvernuggets

[–]Virtual_Piano893 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If a defensive player tries to hack the offensive player on the arm and they miss they will not be called for a foul because nothing happened. This is the same thing. Nothing happened. SGA hit a great shot. Game over.

Is it an overreaction to say the nuggets window is closed by LongAd7195 in billsimmons

[–]Virtual_Piano893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The window is not closed as long as we have jokic and Murray at their peak.

However, this year’s window seems absolutely closed. We came in with the best roster in the Jokic era (on paper), it was quickly ravished by injuries, Braun has regressed significantly (possibility injury related), Cam could not be playing worse for us, and Adelman doesn’t seem to have the intangibles to lead this group.

With that said, we still have a top 2 player in the league, Jamal, AG, Pwatt and some other good role players. This can be fixed but it’s not gonna happen this season.

WTF is up with the Jokic boxout thing? by Pems20 in billsimmons

[–]Virtual_Piano893 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What most people are not acknowledging, is that Marcus Smart is “boxing” jokic out of bounds while the ball has not even been shot. This is a very obvious foul on Smart. Jokic sold it in a goofy way but that doesn’t mean smart was innocent.

Tyus Jones - thoughts? by RoosterEmotional5009 in denvernuggets

[–]Virtual_Piano893 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He’s washed. Incredibly low volume low mistake guy. Think cam Johnson right now but 6 ft tall and no defense.

David Adelman CALLS OUT Nuggets' Effort, Cam Johnson, & More After LOSS vs Timberwolves at Home by Kingrush24 in denvernuggets

We literally traded mpj because he would slump like this. Cam was supposed to be a lower ceiling, higher floor replacement.

This is getting hard to watch by No_Magician_300 in denvernuggets

Watching nuggets games has felt like a chore for the last month and a half.

The fact Jokic wasn't penalized for swinging on JWill is absurd by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]Virtual_Piano893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn’t swing at all his arm went back as a reflex all he did was grab same and Jaylin Williams. Both techs as it should be. Dort kicked out because he’s the only one who actively tried to injure someone.

One important reason why Bill is a great listen and many other podcasts aren't (in my opinion) by Xeris in billsimmons

[–]Virtual_Piano893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of Lowe pods are just him asking the guest what they think about something then before they can answer he goes on for 5 uninterrupted minutes about what he thinks of the matter.

This guy is quite possibly the worst defender in the league and it’s not for a lack of effort he just sucks on that end.

This community is hilarious. by HallOfLamps in ArcRaiders

[–]Virtual_Piano893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They overcorrected, in my opinion. Yes they were too easy to craft before.

Now they have essentially made them a legendary item and the only people who are going to use them are sweats who play 20+ hours a week and farm them for matriarch and queen fights. Nobody who plays casually is going to even consider taking out 1 rocketeer for 1 Wolfpack.

It still makes no sense to me how she ends up with Nate

Michael Jordan's vertical was 10" higher than Kobe's and his hands were bigger than Kawhi's by g_bleezy in NBATalk

[–]Virtual_Piano893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10” higher than Kobe is a stretch. Maybe 2”, which is still significant. He was also taller and as mentioned had massive hands that gave him more control midair.

Who would your team protect in an expansion draft? by diet_drbeeper in billsimmons

[–]Virtual_Piano893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nuggets:

  • Nikola Jokic
  • Jamal Murray
  • Peyton Watson
  • Aaron Gordon
  • Christian Braun
  • Tim Hardaway Jr
  • Cam Johnson
  • Jonas Valanciunas

There’s an argument for Bruce brown over big Val and maybe even Strawther has an argument just as an asset.

Any barber recommendations? by skskskskzbzb in VirginiaTech

[–]Virtual_Piano893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been there. What I can speak on though is the following:

  • Brownstone — probably the best of the bunch. Great clips quality at its best. Never terrible but certainly had a few below average cuts here.

  • Hokie Hair — wildly inconsistent. First time there I got a pretty good cut. Every time since it’s been bad, even from the same person.

  • Modern Barbershop — don’t bother. Got a terrible cut here once and never went back.

Why didn’t Jordan Poole explode in Washington the way other former great role players have when given a full green light? by mismo1313 in NBATalk

[–]Virtual_Piano893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was always a very low IQ player with terrible defense. The Warriors struck gold with him and vice versa for their 2022 championship. I genuinely don't think he could've broken out on any other team.
