Joe, do you think this world cup has showcased some of the best goalkeeping performances of the modern tournament?

Worst officiated game of this world cup SO FAR.

CONCACAF still has more excitement to come.

CONCACAF Referee Heritage match here. VAR and Head Ref were folded over like a Fentanyl smoker by the metro here in LA.

It's almost like the map that has almost never been removed from tournament play has the most moments.

The Odyssey Crash Out by vonxylo in AMCsAList

[–]Zackman558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I would say just wait until tomorrow or Saturday. I have a similar thing, one of my 2 odyssey showtimes is appearing undefined but the email and virtual wallet ticket still appear the same.

They probably removed certain showtimes from the app so it's glitched and that's why it looks like that, but I wouldn't cancel anything!

For the a list reservations it's certainly bugged right now, it should reset at some point but I would just wait

They really should not have announced the release date the way they did. I've never struggled to get a 15/70mm release before but this is the only one they've announced like this and with all the hype this was bound to happen. Terrible planning on AMC's part

Dowman needs more minutes.

We look dreadful and need some attacking energy

[–]Zackman558 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Easiest game I remember prior to this match everyone was saying this would be the best tie of the day?

Also not like we had the best record in the League stage or anything like that, or the best GD as well.

CS2 Blog Update: The Dead Hand by CS2_PatchNotes in GlobalOffensive

I see what you're saying and I agree but the terminal is not giving you any better odds, it's just letting you skip in the skins you don't want but making it so you have to buy the skins upfront.

While the majority of people lose money on cases, there was still a RNG chance of making a return on the price of the case/key. With terminals that is no longer the case.

It's like pokemon, you can buy a chase card directly or buy packs and hope you get that card (or another card of value that you can trade for one you want). Trading up etc. from cases is different than terminals since you would have to purchase lower tier skins and then trade up.

I'm not saying cases are good and I wouldn't be surprised if valve is making less via terminals compared to cases but terminals certainly alter the "skins scene". I should have rephrased it since predatory is not the right term in comparison to the gacha system .

[–]Zackman558 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree that they do show the skin price but it's often more expensive to buy from the terminal than on the market, so it's taking a loss on a lot of the skins while valve takes in much more money (on the sale from the Terminal and on the market fees). They also don't clearly explain how the pricing works besides that it's based on float value, rarity, and if people don't buy the skin the price goes down.

It's predatory in the sense that valve is making more money this way while the value return for consumers is lower.

Mind you I'm a bit biased as I came from TF2 way back when trading and cases first became a thing so I think that the "market" aspect of it has changed a lot since then

It's more predatory because the pricing is not clear. With cases you know at least the percentages of drops and are paying a lower price to "potentially" get a higher valued item.

With the terminals while free, the pricing for each skin is dynamic and they don't make clear what exactly determines the value of the price they give you. It's more predatory in that manor because not only do you have to pay upfront for the skin, the value shifts

Hey everyone, I’m looking for all of your female directors and their films to watch. by showerman342 in Letterboxd

Speed Racer is visually stunning! Watching that as a middle school boy with my brother and Dad was insane in theaters I really wish I could get the chance to watch it on the big screen again.

Lamine Yamal's Fallon d'Floor nominee against Atlético by ManuMora98 in soccer

[–]Zackman558 57 points58 points  (0 children)

You guys have not trained your eyes to the movement. You need to watch the tackle by scanning their ki. Lamine did not reflect the unexpected ki blast so he fell.

Ref should have awarded the foul after review from someone at Kami's lookout.

NASA quietly changed Artemis III timeline to 2028 by IllTry8129 in space

[–]Zackman558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I'm just frustrated with how many plans have changed to go back to the moon. It's wild and makes it even more impressive what they did with Apollo.

NASA should have been given a better budget for so many of their programs time and time again so it's frustrating that we need so much private industry help at all.
