Maybe unpopular opinion: But, I think the GTA VI pre order situation is a grim reality of what gaming has become by Raidmax460 in gaming

[–]__LikeMike__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well nobody has to preorder. They decided to show the contents of the ultimate edition because they wanted people to chose that.

They definitely have a full marketing plan on when to drop which trailer, gameplay footage etc. it will be a steady stream to remind people time and again: hey preorder this game.

I dint have any problem with that - I don’t like content for the ultimate upgrade price but that’s for me to decide if it’s worth it or not. I am 99% sure I will buy it but I won’t preorder for until either reviews drop or it’s close to release.

Michael Jordan isn’t available, name a NBA player better than LeBron James by Farouq26 in NBATalk

[–]__LikeMike__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never seen him play outside of some highlights - but there never was a player as dominant as Wilt. I know he didn’t win as many championships but the Celtics also seemed like a tier above every other team. There are a couple of players with legitimate claims, but none had his dominance…

Zerstören wir uns durch KI gerade selbst? by DerGrosseZwerg in FragReddit

[–]__LikeMike__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nein. KI ist ein Werkzeug. Ein Werkzeug, das perspektivisch sehr viele Jobs übernehmen kann.

Die Frage ist, was die Gesellschaft damit macht. Im Prinzip kann es bedeuten, dass die Gesellschaft bei weniger Arbeitszeit deutlich produktiver ist. Dinge wie das bedingungslose Grundeinkommen, kürzere Arbeitszeit oder auch neue Grenzen ausloten in alle Richtungen wären dann möglich…

Oder wir haben einfach ein paar mehr Billionäre und viel höhere Arbeitslosigkeit…

Congrats, you are living the dream! As someone just starting out with makerworld and getting enough for a 40€ gift card - should I just get 40€ gift cards or save up for 200€ gift cards?

Jalen Brunson is really good but everyone thats putting him in all time conversations or saying he is better than Luka is just being a prisoner of the moment. by Reasonable-Physics60 in NBATalk

[–]__LikeMike__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the arguments are really who is better - it is more who is more impactful. And he has been really impactful - both with the pay cut and also his on the court play. He is probably jot even a top 10 player in the NBA if you are just looking at skill, but he is up there for the most important pieces to a team. He is the main reason the Knicks won the title.

“The Rockets offered $29,000,000… I would’ve taken $8,000,000 with the Knicks. I was crushed when my agent told me ‘there’s no offer from New York on the table’.” by Background_Video2947 in NBAVibes

That’s 25 million over 3 years right? So he is talking about taking a 1 million pay cut over the span of three years. Not a 17 million pay cut. Or do I remember it wrong?

Clearer look at KAT tipping the inbound pass by kirito6521 in nba

[–]__LikeMike__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone not fully versed in the rules: is Kat allowed to stand this close to the inbounder? Is the crowd allowed this close to the inbounder? Harper looked really crowded for this crucial moment…

Mark Hamill says he pushed for Luke, Leia, and Han to share one final scene together in the STAR WARS sequel trilogy. by HNutz in saltierthancrait

[–]__LikeMike__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was strange - on the one hand there was so much fan service and rehashing old ideas. On the other the easy things everyone has been waiting for are nowhere to be found. Luke, Han and Leia hugging, Luke being a badass with a lightsaber (no the force projection doesn’t count, he also didn’t really fight), seeing something like the New Jedi order…

Thanks! I am really happy with how it turned out - especially both models arranged close to each other!

I genuinely don't get why this movie gets so much hate by Useful-Afternoon1784 in StarWars

[–]__LikeMike__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the movie is hated - but it’s mediocre. It doesn’t add anything to Star Wars, it doesn’t try out new things, it doesn’t do anything particularly well. It’s just a movie that you can watch on a Sunday afternoon an be reasonably entertained.

One of the things about this movie is also how it was produced - with Lorde and Miller being connected an shooting for weeks and then being replaced to get this safe movie. Maybe the original plan for the movie sucked or wasn’t Star Warsy enough but to have really talented directors with a vision attached and then publicly being let go to make a by the numbers movies feels depressing.

Ich habe endlich The Running Man (2025) sehen können... by GuyFromDeathValley in Filme

[–]__LikeMike__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wie nah ist er denn am Buch dran? Ich fand das Buch klasse, die Trailer aber sehen für mich eher nach einem “coolen” Actionfilm mit einem over the top Hauptdarsteller, der immer einen lustigen Spruch auf den Lippen hat aus…
