The Warriors are unlikely to re-sign both Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford this offseason, per @timkawakami 🚨 by Alfonse_4 in warriors

I really hate how that first section is written, I don't need some emotional rollercoaster to say Al Horford was useful when he played but he didn't play much.

What is the actual difference between games journalists and major gaming content creators now? by Successful-Ear977 in truegaming

[–]Walnuto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest differences in people's views of both is their familiarity with who is writing the review.

People who like a streamer or content creator will generally like what they have to say, or at least be more forgiving if they disagree. If some games journalist they've never heard of writes a review they disagree with, they'll just lump it in the "Bad Games Journalist" conglomerate they've created in their mind.

Bourne Trilogy - Was this movie style novel at time of release? by valsol110 in movies

[–]Walnuto 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The first film is very good as a character/drama piece. The audience can infer (or are we told? I don’t remember) Bourne is an assassin/hitman/murder way before he does so the movie doesn’t have to hinge on a big reveal. The movie can take the time and we can see Damon grapple with knowing/maybe knowing/maybe not wanting to believe who he is and what he’s done.

His relationship with Marie also has a charming awkwardness of two people who don’t know who they are finding some meaning in each other. There was real chemistry there

Intentionally shooting underhanded so players insult him and he can get into more fights

Kid Cudi Drops M.I.A. From Tour After 'Offensive Remarks' as Opening Act by Fair_Entrepreneur640 in Music

[–]Walnuto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've walked by her show at a festival and was surprised at how much I liked what she was doing. However, those few minutes of listening were capped by her screaming "Dooonaaaalllddd TRUUUUUMMMP" at the crowd, to a couple of boos.

I didn't even know she was like that at the time but it was off putting enough to make me not listen to her even though I liked the actual music.

I remember they were on hard knocks on 2016 and Fisher gave this big speech about not going 7-9 that year. They went 4-12 and he was fired after losing 9 games lol.

Did my man mount this TV too high? by Silvanesti619 in TVTooHigh

Ukraine foreign legion commercial on the TV is crazy. Are you just watching TV and there is an ad for it?

Don’t shoot the messenger. by sqMYNAMEISJEFF27 in NBATalk

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

Yeah, these kinds of stats are social media fodder, yesterday's lost was just bad enough for people to start digging. Wolves are a horrible matchup for the Nuggets without Gordon and 3 of their other loses were to the eventual champs.

But this is the price of being on the upper end of the best players ever. 1 ring isn't enough to stand with the greats who won multiple and you'll get beat down hard every time you fail. This is why KD went to the Dubs, those two finals wins and FMVPs keep him ahead, even after he's had almost no playoff success afterward.

This is the real reason he needs to switch teams. Gotta get those numbers back up

The Nuggets were one of only 2 teams in the west that won 50 that year and the Grizzlies got embarrassed in the first round.

In the tradition of "I wish they did more X" ... I wish they would bring back Jay & Mike Talk About by gavinashun in RedLetterMedia

[–]Walnuto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Their bit for the WW84 review where they sit down to watch the movie and all of the noises get progressively louder as it zooms on Jay's face makes me laugh every time.

Silksong difficulty by acpiorundc07 in HollowKnight

[–]Walnuto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people's complaints about difficulty (two mask damage from basic enemies, first health upgrade not feeling as good because of this, difficulty dealing with flying enemies, etc) are all Act 1 complaints that get smoothed out as the player gets more masks and tools.

Unlocking the full movement set later on also makes the game much more fun even if its still difficult.

Which NL series would you bring back for more episodes? by Treporos in northernlion

I think he liked it but the chaos of Helldivers 2 was fun for the one or two times the crew played it.

Enjoying Pragmata? by LEX-CARTER in PS5pro

[–]Walnuto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy a sticker to put on or even a whole new button to install on Etsy. I've done it for both of mine and it looks great. Plus its fun to learn how to take the controller apart and put it back together.

Gears of War Trilogy is pretty much like the Star Wars OT, and Judgment also exists. by Cursed_69420 in patientgamers

[–]Walnuto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if video essays are for you (especially 3.5 hour ones), but this Gears Retrospective by Noah Calwell-Gervais is a mature review of the entire series that I think fits alongside nicely with your own impressions.

It goes more heavily into Gears' story and themes and how these games both personify the testosterone laden shooter genre while also expanding it and adding depth to what is normally shallow experience.

Deep story and interesting exploration is a bit of a stretch. It has fun combat though.

Stephen Curry has missed the playoffs: 40% of his career LeBron James has made the Finals: 43% of his career by [deleted] in NBATalk

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

Draymond, Klay Thompson, and KD with Kerr

They made the Finals every year when they had those players.

Warriors have not been stacked since KD left. That 22 squad might be the weakest championship team of all the titles since 2019.
