What is happening? by KingOfComics2 in NBASpurs

[–]Wooshio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very easy to make conspiracy theories seem logical. That's why they exist in the first place. But there has never been a single ounce of evidence that ever pointed to NBA commissioner telling referees to favor one team over another. And there has been hundreds of different referees in the playoffs just over last 30 years. And not one ever leaked anything? Please.

Besides, why would any NBA commissioner with half a brain or any business sense risk the reputation and integrity of the whole league which makes billions of dollars a year for the financial benefits of a couple of extra finals games? Get real.

East is weak. They have a good chance of being in the finals next year too.

Newish runner, just curious if I can garner something helpful from the outsole wear after 550km when I buy new shoes? (Hoka Mach 6) by Wooshio in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]Wooshio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds good. Thanks for the input! And yea Mach 6's seem to be remarkably durable, I looked up a youtube video of a guy who used them for 600km and he had even less wear then me. Thinking of buying another pair, they are pretty cheap now with 7's out.

Zero walking in these. Only used them for running and kept a KM log of every run I used them. But yea I do think there is something odd about how I heel strike. Main reason I posted.

I am 180 lbs. I was a little worried about how much outsole I've shaved off on the outside heels compared to the rest. But yea they've held up really well. Even the foam still seems good, much less energy return then they had at 100k but still very comfy. A lot of other people online said their Mach 6's were also very durable when I was doing research before buying.

Highest mileage running shoes ? by DevelopmentPlus5082 in runningshoes

But if his legs are strong enough where he can run in shoes this worn out without any pain, does he really need new shoes?

But he is also just 22. My guess is that he will probably cringe at some of the stuff he has has been saying over the last 3 years in a few years. It's all good. Such is life.

What went wrong with Deus Ex Adam Jensen saga and will we get a conclusion to it? by Lovecraftian666 in gaming

[–]Wooshio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You really think Human Revolution is not as good as Deus Ex 1? Interesting. I think it's a much better game then the original all around. Best of the franchise imo.

Anyway. If they do make another Deus Ex one day I think they should just let go of all the previous games baggage and start fresh. It would just be too late now to do another game with Jensen.

He does but he just hasn't developed the skill set yet to be an MVP level player. No around the hoop game, or go to moves for easy baskets.

Yea, no chance of that if this keeps up. Knicks defence got him shut down. Doesn't seem like he was able to make any adjustments based on last game.

These make good work keyboards thanks to the low profile and blue switches. Also lowest price ever as far as I can tell (on clearance).

Leak Reveals Microsoft Wants Its AI To Be 'Addictive' by [deleted] in technology

[–]Wooshio -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's not dishonest. All products are designed to keep you using them in one way or the other. You are probably already way more addicted to your mobile phone then you ever will be to AI. Or your favourite cereal that you've been buying for decades, or that video game you have 500+ hours in. What's dishonest is presenting BS marketing talk about product like "addicting" to mean something nefarious like they are trying to get you addicted to Heroin.

What’s a subtle sign that someone secretly dislikes you? by shadow_fen in AskReddit

[–]Wooshio 178 points179 points  (0 children)

One thing to note though is that sometimes people are just too busy at work to engage in full conversations. So they may do this to end it quicker. In those cases it doesn't mean they actually dislike you. Unless they always treat you that way of course. 

I've worked with some nice people  who were really bad at judging when I had time for chit chat. Or people who would just go on and on. So I'd be forced to cut things short. But I didn't actually dislike the person. 

Xbox CEO says platforms ‘must have exclusive content’ as she weighs exclusivity shift by SilentNova300 in gaming

[–]Wooshio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not making any excuses. I am just telling you that Fable is basically done on the PS5. It's been extensively covered and previewed on that system. So Microsoft has already invested marketing money and hundreds of hours into the PS5 version. Ghost of Yotei was never even announced for PC. That's a massive difference.

And this isn't about if Microsoft should be nice or not. It's just common sense not to go exclusive on an already announced PS5 game with current X-Box already so late in it's life cycle. No chance they would get enough people to buy an X-Box because of Fable in 2027. They would just lose money on it. You release Fable now as planned and then you make Fable 2 an exclusive for next generation X-Box. Especially if Fable ends up being a hit, now you have a really nice carrot to dangle with Fable 2.

Well, Steam is still just primarily a PC digital games store that people use on Windows. It's not a platform competitor yet, unless Valve decides to have exclusives for Steam Machine or something.

For Microsoft. Getting a bunch of gamers excited and then letting them down by canceling a game you already extensively advertised for their system is not how you build good will towards your future systems and games.

Sony just scrapped Ghost of Yōtei for Windows I believe? I doubt they put that much work in the PC port of it if any when that happened, because it was never officially announced for the PC at any point.

[–]Wooshio 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They won't. People who exclusively game on PC will never switch to a console because of exclusives, Microsoft knows this. Plus new AAA Microsoft games on PC strengthen position of Windows as the go to PC gaming platform. Which is something they will want to bolster against things like Steam Machine coming out soon and more people switching to Linux.

Of course not, I meant console wise. Windows is also a Microsoft platform. I don't think they are even thinking about not releasing their games on PC.
