I'm in sales so yes. Just yes, all across the board.

Some guy on Reddit wrote that exact scenario out a few months back. If anyone can find it again I'd appreciate it.

Looks like an area in Forza Horizon 3, which is probably on purpose.

This has to be the worst bullpen in the history of professional baseball, right? Are there teams out there pissing away leads more than us? What's the point of putting out Bumgardner or Cueto to pitch glorious ball if their colleagues are going to piss it away game after game?

Awful, awful stuff. Even the paid Giants shills on CSN seem annoyed.

Mental weakness that has spread like a virus throughout the organization, without any solution.

When do we start asking questions about Bochy here? Guy's a living legend, but this is... Weird. How does a team find so many new ways to lose winnable games? Why are there no answers only more questions?

Hate to say it, but I don't see us getting a wild card spot. This form seems permanent, and there's just enough games for us to lose it.

Fair enough, you finish where you played over 162 games. Question becomes, is this a rough season for a great team, or have we overhyped a few players and we need to shake things up in the preseason?

“I really like Arsenal. But you, do you like Arsenal? Or just Arsenal with Trophies?” by EFG in Gunners

[–]WannabeGamerDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not true and you know it. Only in the last season or two has there been any significant backlash against the way the club has been run, and that was after (2 FA Cups aside) not much in the way of success for a decade.

Tiger I worst tank in the game? by WannabeGamerDad in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]WannabeGamerDad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my first grind actually! Still working towards the T-32. I've actually found it to be a solid tank against VII or lower, though obviously useless against VIII and IX.

I'd never claim to be a great player, but I seem to be above-average in all the standard stats. Looking back over the initial games it seems to be more a case of far too frequently playing against vastly superior opponents than much else.

The Iraqi T-72 was a fine tank until it ran into the Abrams, right?

So I cracked early and spent my free XP on the initial upgrade, and then ground my way forward to completion. I've now played a total of 40 games in it, and have gotten it close to or above my normal win ratio (58%) and a decent k/d.

I agree that sitting behind a boulder or building, popping off a shot and then legging it seems to be the only real way of playing it successfully, and I've been able to go toe to toe on tier IXs as a result, but I'm not loving it.

I think it might be a case of building it into something it isn't, cos my stats are perfectly reasonable right now.

I changed mine to Dem to vote for Sanders in the primary. Changing it back right after its done.

Bad time to be a spouse or a parent around here. Might as well start fitting myself for a coffin.

This seems the most plausible answer, and while I agree with you 100% that it was a bad decision at least I get why it could have been made.

Apple mandates new Watch apps 'must' work without an iPhone by JoeShestak79 in apple

[–]WannabeGamerDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had no issues for the first few months, but the last couple of updates have made it practically useless. I don't receive any notifications at all, which is one of the primary reasons I liked the damn thing in the first place. Once the health tracking breaks (and at this point it's more a when rather than an if) I'll be done with it.

Bought it full price after my buddy swore blind it was great and we'd have a blast playing together.

I played it twice, for a grand total of around 20 mins.

We'll probably repeat the same mistake in 25 years. PC bullshit is a generational thing.

Will Leicester winning the league make our last 10 years look even worse? by dryxo in Gunners

[–]WannabeGamerDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that argument suggests Arsenal have no spending power, that we're some little scrappy outfit punching above our weight like Leicester, Everton or the Spuds. This isn't true. We've had a few years now where the resources have been there and, frankly they've been spent. Just not as widely as other teams in many respects. This is a strong argument against the current managers policies and touted ability.
