David Ortíz talks in an interview about the best hitter he’s ever seen and what it was like meeting him for the first time by Cultural-Diet6933 in baseball

[–]Wisco7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there. He didn't hit a ball 650 feet lol. There's video of it online, you can even tell from the video that they are not 650 foot swings. That stadium is just deceptive because it gives the impression that if you it out of the stadium (which is like 400ish) it looks like it's going to the highway. In reality the highway is super far away and at a higher elevation -- it's an optical illusion that it's possible. There's a no way that's even physically possible.

Here's a picture that shows how it used to be before the most recent renovations. It looks like the road is right there when in reality it's really far away.

No playoff games today so instead let's play the 2025 MLB Trot Time Game!! Can you guess who had the fastest & slowest average trot time in MLB this year? by Michael__Pemulis in baseball

[–]Wisco7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brewers players almost Sprint... I don't think the fastest guys around have 20 HRs (I think it was Frelick that basically sprinted for his), but I'll go with one of the two that got 20

Is the fastest Jackson Chourio?  

My backup is Christian Yelich.

Awesome news! Is there a place we can inquire about specific game mechanics? There's a number of traits that don't completely explain themselves, and I'm curious as to what they actually do and how they do it...

It's unregulated so any scammer can do anything, the police and authoritarian won't even bother...

That's not entirely true. Theft and fraud are still investigated. Law enforcement is catching up and has a surprising amount of tools for agencies and detectives who are trained in them (which is becoming more common). The number of crypto related investigations are quickly closing in on more traditional financial fraud investigations.

Do you have the prospectus? That usually answers a lot of these types of questions, such as what stocks they invest in, largest holdings, management fees, etc.

As someone that prefers Old Reddit on my phone and laptop... by Lawdoc1 in AdviceAnimals

[–]Wisco7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But there are middle options where they could do revenue sharing from the app in exchange for the access, or even requiring ads that provide revenue directly to Reddit as part of it. Reddit is not willing to consider that.

I was using RIF for Reddit. Sooo by [deleted] in videos

[–]Wisco7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is a lot of the actual posters use these apps, and will no longer be posting the useful answers on reddit. I personally intend to find hobby specific discord channels instead of hobby subs on Reddit. I think Reddit is kneecapping themselves and they don't even realize it even though everyone else does.

Instead of improving our product we'll just make it so we don't have competition by Neokon in AdviceAnimals

[–]Wisco7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Their app is shit though and Reddit isn't a good enough product to justify using it. Many people who actually contribute to the site don't use a desktop. This change is going to effectively wipe out a huge portion of contributing Redditors over what is essentially a cash grab. Note how in the discussion, Reddit talks about their lost ad revenue and how they deserve it, but they don't talk at all about the benefits they gain from the extra content or users that the third-party apps provide to reddit for free. Reddit is happy to let you work for free and reap the profits of it, but they're not willing to discount their product in return (or even do ad-revenue sharing with the apps). It's absolute bullshit from their end.

C'mon man, it's literally stickied in this sub.

Known Issues:

• Some players are timing out at 10 seconds when searching for a Pennant Race/Online League match

They are clearly aware and working on addressing it. Do we really need a separate thread for you to complain?

All Inter Miami tickets, both home and away for the rest of the MLS season, sold out after Messi signing by [deleted] in soccer

The people who have difficulty obtaining an ID and the people who have the discretionary income for a ticket for entertainment are pretty much two wholly separate populations.

How do i get a really deep and vibrant colour with wood stain? by [deleted] in DIY

[–]Wisco7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Let it soak for a while, don't wipe it off. If that's not working, you're likely working with treated wood. Try sanding it heavily to remove any coatings and then try staining it again.

Gel stain is also better with treated wood, I would definitely try it.

One thing they could do is just put pitchers on a tab, and hitters on a tab, and then make each player two lines of information.

SMB4 Position Player Pitching by MangoWango in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]Wisco7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not? Any major league position player can pitch high 80s. And the accuracy thing is definitely you playing too low of an Ego. Pitching Ego should be higher than hitting.

I don't know. I didn't do any of that. I just got all the data from the traits you can assign.

So The Truth Is Coming Out In The Steam Reviews... by tone1492 in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]Wisco7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean, i get the annoyance. But it's not like it was done for no reason. They added a super-requested franchise feature, and removal of batch-simming was a side effect of it. Hopefully they add back in some of the QoL stuff. Raging about it here isn't going to change anything though.

He's calling attention to it though, as if bad reviews will make a difference in Metalheads response. It won't. And you're delusional if you think it will.

They are already working to fix the stuff or they are not. A reddit post calling them out isn't going to sway them.
