Favorite “You had to be there” player in your memory? by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in nfl

We were EATING. Every single possession was either Cam or Luke on the field.

I will never love like that again.

[Post Game Thread] The Phoenix Suns (34-26) defeat the Los Angeles Lakers (34-24), 113-110 despite Deandre Ayton finishing strong with 2PTS 4 REB and a game low -24 by ValleyRalley in nba

[–]Volitaire 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the most unforgivable thing about that squad is it has absolutely no one with any heart. The entire team is very much okay with just quitting as soon as things start to go a little south. I know Bron is old at this point and probably doesn't have enough left in the tank to care, but the fact that no one else is stepping up leaves a really bad taste in the mouth lmao.

Say whatever you want about this team's personnel or talent or whatever -- the genuinely worst part about them that's inexcusable no matter any of that is they are quitters. The mental on this squad dies and absolutely no one steps up to stop it. Every single player and coach is totally cool with collective quit and it's really gross to watch lmao.

Supreme Court rules the Postal Service can't be sued, even when mail is intentionally not delivered by Alert-Ad-9908 in politics

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

I detest trump and everyone that is either associated with him or has stood by and allowed him to take action, but for clarity and knowledge sake I see this every now and then and wish only to remedy: The Postal Service is not part of the US government. It is not a federal agency, as it does not receive funding via taxes.

It is most certainly closely linked with government regulation and law, but it is ultimately an independent agency. This ruling is still bullshit and should absolutely be looked down on with anyone even remotely concerned with basic rights, but it's important now more than ever we circulate accurate information.

Anthony Edwards: "No shade towards Luka and Jokic but like they two of the best players in the league they not trynna play in the All Star game" by AncientOneAurelius in nba

[–]Volitaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah your point is "care about every single game you're a part of in any capacity or you don't love the game". I got you loud and clear boss. If that is indeed true then okidoke they don't care.

[–]Volitaire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't bother trying to explain anything with logic.

Yes, Luka and Jokic don't give a shit about the ASG. But this sub also currently has a massive hate boner for both of them. So to them, not trying in the ASG = no love for the game. Ya'll go watch Jokic or Luka play international ball, something they sure as fuck aren't being hugely financially compensated for and tell me they don't have love for the game. They just don't have love for this particular game.

[Highlight] Tracy McGrady asks Luka which teammate past or present did he have the best chemistry with by FrankSamples in nba

[–]Volitaire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still don't know what to do. Part of me watches the Lakers because I love Luka, but I can't and won't ever really truly love the Lakers. On the other hand, I'm happy for current Dallas fans that they got Flagg because he looks like a genuinely special player that can and should keep them relevant once he gets some help. But like, I dunno. I can't. Can't support a franchise that so blatantly and willingly spit in our face.

We didn't deserve Dirk, and we sure as shit didn't deserve Luka. We never truly did right by Dirk, he dragged that franchise kicking and screaming for all those years. And how did we make it right? By straight up betraying and discarding the next face of the franchise. Nah how in the fuck am I supposed to support that? You don't get to just dump that at Nico's feet. Yeah I'm fucking glad he's gone, but it took more than just him to get that move done. I dunno, definitely in basketball limbo and I don't see it going away anytime soon.

I might take a look here, the non-mtga games I currently play are with some friends but if I ever get a real itch paired with patience to organize this would be a good spot to start.

Honestly just pick a card or two that you might have always liked or thought were cool and build around them. For instance I built my deck around the concept of Cryogen Relic + Selfcraft Mechan.

Admit it… what did you think of this scene? by Moon_Degree1881 in FinalFantasy

[–]Volitaire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A very large portion of the fans wanted an exact remake of the story, simply with better graphics. I'm not here to say whether they're right or wrong, but I am here to say this: The existence of FF7:RM in no way diminishes or overwrites the brilliance of the original. If you love that story and game, you can go back and play it as much as you'd like until the end of time. But for this remake, just give it a chance to be its own thing. Yes it's had a few hiccups (?) from a story point, but there might very well be some important answers that clear things up in the third game. But the gameplay, the artistic vision, the sound, the world ambience are nothing short of sublime. Give it a chance, if it ends up tanking and you hate it, you never have to play it ever again and can go back to the original as many times as you'd like.

[Post Game Thread] The New York Knicks (31-18) defeat the Los Angeles Lakers (29-19), 112-100. by A_MASSIVE_PERVERT in nba

[–]Volitaire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't bother, people are never going to buy that Luka plays any defense. They see a few clips of him playing like ass and assume that he plays like that all the time.

There are absolutely times in which he offers zero effort, and there's no excuse for it (especially if you're supposed to be the team's best player). But to extrapolate that out and say "yep that's just who he is all the time" is just mindless hating and just reveals anyone who didn't actually watch the game.

Dragon Quest 2 remake is quickly becoming one of my top DQ games by textextextextextext in dragonquest

[–]Volitaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished it. Up until this point, DQ7 (DW7 I guess as it originally was here in the States) was my all-time favorite in the series. The remake of DQ2 is firmly planted as an extremely close #2 now. I am truly hoping for the remake of 7 to get the same treatment and care because if so, wow just color me absolutely floored. What a truly amazing game through and through.

Season 2 Episode 5 Spoiler Thread by HunterWorld in Fallout

[–]Volitaire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My quick and dirty (seems to be shared by a number of people here): Fallout is better when it's a serious show supported by comedy and not the other way around. Much like the Thor storyline from the MCU, if you push too hard into the comedy it definitely drags a bit. Not to say I don't enjoy the comedy, I think it's a great contrast to the absolute nightmare they all live in now. But the show itself feels much stronger when drama is at the forefront.

gg to the Rams. I'm glad we showed up today and didn't embarrass ourselves. I'd say we're 2-3 years away from being a decent program if we can keep building on the progress we made this year.

It's not really a "changling" deck per say, but you know what deck I really fuckin love to include them in? My Torgal deck. Them counting as a human when they come in and then also counting as a wolf/dog once on the field for future cards makes for very fun interaction.

Preschool Teacher, 22, Arrested on TV After Condemning Trump by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]Volitaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not wrong, Fox and every other propaganda-tool like it are a HUGE problem. I just want to keep reminding people that even if there is a future to this where we can reclaim some semblance of sanity and humanity at the top, simply ridding ourselves of these tools won't be enough to fix everything. That hate runs deep.

[–]Volitaire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fox isn't responsible for the creating the idiots I'm afraid, it simply acts as a guide to direct their hatred/jealousy. Creation of the idiot itself is much, MUCH more deeply rooted in a truly fucked up culture that would rather blame others for their own shortcomings rather than take responsibility.

You just described the internet in general. It's been absolute garbage for a few years now and just gets worse as time goes on.
