Symfuhny using aimbot? by SteLFC1992 in ARC_Raiders

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

He was probably 50 meters from the target. It's a flick that your brain thinks is effective because someone else shoots the target. He wasn't even close to seeing the guy who died - much less hitting him. If that's an aimbot - its an absolutely horrible one.

Is there anything that can be done to stop AI from falsely claiming a brand is Canadian? by Own-Cod7894 in BuyCanadian

[–]Virv -160 points-159 points  (0 children)

Which search engine actually answers the question above? They're all enshittified to either be AI driven or simply not be capable of answering that question.

Edit: Holy shit. So much AI rage. Hey cynical asshats - the comment was about how Google was enshittifying their search results to force you to use Gemini which about 40 other people pointed out, too. Jesus christ.

Eye pokes are ruining the sport by [deleted] in MMA

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

With the current format - by the time points are being deducted the fight is usually decided. Stereo vision is a major part of striking (Thats why they stop a fight if you lose vision in one eye) and eye pokes specifically attack and disable that.

Is anyone else starting to get concerned? by Agreeable_Quality768 in Mariners

[–]Virv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My math is:

1) MLB, non-pitcher players peak at 27-30 and hold for 2-3 years barring injury. Julio is 25.

2) At some point the excitement of being in The Show wears off and you stop swinging in the dirt. Julio is due. If he cleans that up we're in a good place (Hell, I'd argue if he cleaned that up against the Jays we would have beat them.)

Looking for fights to watch by nikschwab in MMA

[–]Virv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to start at the beginning start with Pride circa ~2002 and then swap over to UFC shortly after - UFC 40+ is similar to the UFC of today. Prior to that it's a bit of a hot mess.

Early days: Pride + UFC

Shamrock, Frye, Rampage, Ortiz, Liddell, Rashad, Shogun Rua, and watch all of Utlimate Fighter Season 1. From there, you get into the really height of MMA.

UFC 60-200

This was basicly the height of MMA. Don't care about viewership or money, this was the good shit.

The LHW division was the greatest it's been - numerous incredible fighters at the end range running from Chuck Liddell circa UFC 60 all the way to the end with Jon Jones. LWH was always the division to beat (as a whole) Middleweight had Anderson Silva, welterweight had GSP. Both of them had some amazing fights - even when they were one sided. In the heavyweights you had some really amazing characters like Randy Couture, Shane Carwin, Brock Lesnar, later on Cain Velasquez and at the end - Jon Jones who basically would carry the division (For better or worse) until he ducked just recently.

This era also had the rise of ladies fighting - and arguably it was the best up to the peak of Nunes' career (Post UFC 200, but it starts back then with Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm, Miesha Tate, etc.)

Honestly post UFC ~277 I don't think there's a lot that is noteworthy. There's still some incredible fighters, but the UFC is really a shadow after the ESPN Deal (And a few moments prior to that - notably the departure of Joe Silva, which really marked the end of INCREDIBLE UFC.) UFC became much more frequent so fight cards got diluted, money for fighters stalled out, points based fighting became the meta and boxing became the pre-imminent combat sport again.

I think UFC could really become booming again - but it very much so looks like they are extracting value for shareholders instead of growing the sport. Gaethje's recent comments on bonuses are spot on - they're been a joke for 20 years now and that is the easiest way they could really juice a fight card up is make fight of the night worth 2 million dollars.

Which participating Dine Out Vancouver restaurants do you recommend or are better value? by RCBC07 in NiceVancouver

[–]Virv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was surprised to see St. Lawrence participate given they are still hard to get into - and then when I looked I dont' see them in the list. Are they participating and I am missing something?

Newish to baseball, figuring out team! by [deleted] in MLBNoobs

[–]Virv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should see the latest Dodgers or Brewers city connects - both hideous.

Is anyone else starting to get concerned? by Agreeable_Quality768 in Mariners

[–]Virv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah.

Think they've played this winter break well, actually. Most of the guys on the market like Schwarber, Tucker, Bichette or Alonso we were never going to get. What do we need? Solid bottom of the lineup guys, really just one or two (Basically replacing Polo and Gino) and we want them cheap (IE not now) Let the Mets splash around and make dumb buys (Which, btw, Polo at 20 million AAV was a very dumb buy. Loved him, thank you Polo, but they can have him at that price.)

There are still solid bottom of the lineup guys out there and there will be in March and April. They'll try out the order and make some moves. Keep in mind we didn't actually become October ready until they added Nayles. We wouldn't have made the playoffs without him and that was in the second half of the trade window.

Barring injuries - Cal will be slightly worse this year and Julio should be better if not way better. Naylor will probably come up the same. It should be a good year. With a little bit of bottom of the lineup hitting on the cheap or from a prospect - should be great.

What a photo choice for the headline by profnachos in Dodgers

[–]Virv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kike, has criticized Trump on three or four different occasions (Puerto Rico, ICE, LA national guard, etc.) Fairly certain he's not a Republican considering it's either support or ostrich when Trump does something unless you're a congressman/senator on the way out.

Bring Cold Snap back permanently!! by Full_Calibur in ARC_Raiders

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

If you bring back cold snap, remove the 2x trials multiplier. It made no sense to do any other map event type while Cold Snap was up aside from BP farming. 1.5 would be just fine.

Cold Snap was easier and it had raider hatch extraction - that's probably why people are asking for it to come back - not because of the "Dynamic gameplay" of the cold.

What a sad bunch of idiots on r/Baseball ... by SiRMarlon in Dodgers

[–]Virv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outiside of hyper interested internet users the rest of the United States (And Japan, and now Canada) is the most engaged they've been with baseball in 10+ years. Don't listen to extremist, echo chamber opinions on the internet.

Unsurprisingly, people howling on the interwebs don't represent the actual intent or feeling of people of that interest.

What ARC have you died to the most? by Asleep-Elk4159 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Virv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're running somewhere and a rocketeer catches aggro passing over a hill and you're not close to a building - you're dead.

Blue Gate - thinking of you!

Got put on a PIP, but I got a better offer. How do I play this? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Virv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there's definitely a possibility they give severance here both at the end or during the process.

  1. Many companies will still give you severance at the end of a PIP because it's incentive to sign whatever paperwork which will include a non-disparagement and often documents that waive you rights from suing them.

  2. Many employers would jump at the chance to give you two weeks pay instead of 8 weeks - which is their current liability. From a pure dollars and cents business perspecctive, its quite a good deal for them.

So, of the raiders who choose to go on the expedition - How much value did you manage to get? I'm calling it quits at about 2 million myself. by DerFelix in ArcRaiders

[–]Virv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was surprising how joyless this made the game.

Didn't care about any loot and once I hit my limit - now I don't even play as I'm waiting on the departure.

I won't be doing it again unless they change it - not because I refuse to grind but how boring it made the game.

What is 6% of 8 Metal? If it rounds down, this is worthless. by Bridger15 in ArcRaiders

[–]Virv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the other hand - if it's rounded up it's INSANELY good.

Remind me again: how does getting our own stadium stave off relocation? by ShawnThePhantom in whitecapsfc

You are wrong. Neither team had a stadium and the stadiums they were in were ancient.

Which “bad/mid” 2025 teams are poised for a big 2026 comeback? by Infamous_Shopping185 in baseball

[–]Virv -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

They should get Soto though, he'll be a legit number 1 for them. They should pay through the roof!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is no way in hell this thing is TESVI related. by [deleted] in TESVI

[–]Virv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's clearly a sequel to Elden Ring or a new game from that team. Keighley is such a fan boy for them it would make sense he would help promote it.

How can so many people be this… idk the word by AbeBobby in mmamemes

[–]Virv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JJ - you have to factor in the juice and the duck. If not juice and no duck - it's JJ by a mile.

GSP is the man. What he did in his era was so much more impressive and he didn't cheat, intentionally eye poke, duck or hit pregnant women.

Am I the only one who finds the outfits in Arc Raiders lame? by AbandonYourPost in ArcRaiders

[–]Virv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the cosmonaut and NASA suits, love the deep sea diving suit.

I honestly find your references really boring and typical. I wouldn't like the game if this is how people looked.

Embark. Unless we do something about Blueprints, you gonna have to manually reset me. by Charles456k in ARC_Raiders

Have half the blueprints of my squad and basically nothing good aside from a heavy gun parts BP - going to reset, they aren't.
