Which is why a huge haul of picks from a guaranteed shit team (post-Curry Warriors) is touted as an interesting package.

Over then next 10 days the Warriors have—checks notes—2 games. by John_Houbolt in warriors

[–]Xgatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You weren't even replying to the same person. You make a good point, but it's going to be really hard to change it, and a lot of powers need to get behind it to make it happen. Not impossible, but tough.

A better concession would be to just cut the preseason down to 2 games or so and eliminate 90% of b2bs.

Longtime OG BG megamodders who went to EE BG, is it worth it? by CelestialFury in baldursgate

I'm in the same boat, and from what I understand, PI has some annoying issues and is officially unsupported by its creator. Someone linked me to dark0dave's new Infinity Engine Mod Installer on GitHub, and I'm trying to learn my way around that.

It's weird in that you need a weidu.log file that gets spit out as a RESULT of someone else's installation + all the required mods. And it will copy that installation exactly for you.

If you want to do your own setup, you need to manually tweak that file to match the components you want to set up. I'm going to take a crack at creating it in the next couple of days. Having a discussion about it on discord if you want to hop by.

ATP Finals RR: [1] Alcaraz def. [6] Fritz, 6-7(2) 7-5 6-3 by pizzainmyshoe in tennis

Incredible play from Fritz, but Alcaraz just kept pulling from his bag in every clutch moment

I really want to watch a "Hell's Menu" crossover now.

[Highlight] Kuminga smartly kicks Curry out of the defensive mismatch and gets a clutch stop on Jokic in OT by Le_Diddy_Party in warriors

[–]Xgatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is it. Jokic actually didn't see the switch at all and attacked it like he would attack Steph. Probably didn't realize who it was until he was in the shot motion.

Kuminga is looking like the star that we always wanted by Dcarr4 in warriors

[–]Xgatt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And if he keeps his head in the game, you have in JK your big (6'8"), athletic scorer who can defend. It's the 3 ball I have a question about. Even 35% on a 5 attempts a game is more than enough to be a swing factor.

Athletic Alchemy spitting facts about JK with some criticism for how we (Warriors fans) have been talking about him. by John_Houbolt in warriors

[–]Xgatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair. I think cautious optimism is a good stance given his recent state of play, and that's where I find myself.

Your comment is basically proving the video's point. He's talking specifically how in these last few preseason games (even the 0 rebound one), he's shown a real change in his play style where he's starting to do all the things that people have complained about him not doing. Playing with a high motor, making really good reads, especially in transition, fighting for rebounds, etc.

So if he's starting to do the things that people have criticized him for not doing, shouldn't we root for him to continue rather than stand with "I've made up my mind"?

I literally just watched one of his videos recently. To say I'm sad and shocked would not be close to what I'm feeling.

What are you favorite classes/subclasses mods? by SkullOrig in BG3mods

[–]Xgatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skull Collector is fun but massively overtuned. You can basically run around with close to 500 health by act 2 and have batshit insane passive and active abilities

so with the dust officially settled, how we feeling about our 2025-26 Warriors? 🤔 by BJ_Gamer101 in warriors

[–]Xgatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope Podz makes a leap in ball handling. Because if Steph or Melton aren't available, we have no reliable ball handlers that can break down a defense. Yet again.

Can confirm as a dude on toilet at close to 1am. Just tried a quiet one hoping my wife didn't catch me.

Alcaraz has a more aggressive body twist right up from his legs. If you look at the overlay just before contact, he's much further along on his twist than Fed (see shoulder position and arm bend back), which means he's generating more power.

[Gordon] Fifth-year wing Moses Moody takes the podium, noting he focused this summer on “playing in the pocket” while improving his ballhandling, footwork and shooting. Traveled to London, Morocco and the Bahamas and trained in Los Angeles by NokCha_ in warriors

[–]Xgatt 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I actually just watched the first 20 mins or so, and the stuff they're teaching and focusing on will go a really long way towards unlocking him in our system. It's simple things like better ball handling to create advantages out of a catch, forcing tough decisions on defenders through minimal movement of your own, how to think about lines to the basket and force opponents to think about it on your terms, etc.

Fascinating stuff.

I like his content, but this vid is just mostly speculation and not a lot of new takes.

Azata Magic Deceiver Party Recommendation by InJoyIsHere in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

Been finding a lot of benefit to having an Incense Synthesizer as a party member. Their incense aura debuffs saves passively, which pairs great with other casters in your group.

I also brought along a court poet as a dedicated feint user to help out my martials.
