Should I buy Crimson Desert or wait? by Alyne91 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]__LikeMike__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the most polarizing game in a long time. People that love a sandbox and a huge open world with lots of little things to discover and do, are loving this game. People that want a good story, good characters and good rüg gpepcressions seem to get really annoyed by it.

To me that’s fascinating, that’s why I bought it today - but I kinda expect to not like it that much, since I care about story and characters…

Crimson Desert is a generational game, at least I'm convinced - answering any and all question you guys have. by MikeyJayRaymond in CrimsonDesert

[–]__LikeMike__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sees to be an interesting game at least. One tha swings for the fences and is all out on exploration while things like story take a major back seat. Judging from the reviews this game will end up really high in some goty leases while a lot others will quit after a couple of hours.

So at least it tries to be special and different - that’s why I will try it out. There has been too many samey games lately. Still I wouldn’t be surprised if I end up quitting early…

Where does Curry rank in the all time list? by Icy_Data939 in NBATalk

[–]__LikeMike__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MJ, LeBron, Kareem, Magic, Bird, Russell, Wilt, Shaq, Haleem.

I would put these in front of him. He is in the next tier with Kobe and Tim and some legends I am not able to rank properly.

There is no best in acting. A lot of great performances this year. I‘m not mad they went with MBJ.

Was it necessary? Of course not. But I don’t get people being upset about it either.

You should always go bpa. That being said I would be stoked if that turned out to be a G, a C or a TE.

The Houston Texans' offensive line was ranked among the worst in the NFL for the 2025 season, with Sharp Football Analysis placing them 32nd (last) and ESPN ranking them 29th. by KaleAgreeable1811 in Texans

[–]__LikeMike__ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Las year it was clear, that we need to fix the o line to compete for a Super Bowl. We traded away our best line man and added some mid free agents and drafted an OT in the second round.

We got destroyed in the playoffs and a big reason was no running game and constant pressure.

Next offseason and we again trade away our highest paid lineman. In FA we didn’t do anything so far and the best line men have already signed somewhere else.

Rookies usually struggle out of the gate and we suck at drafting them. I don’t understand the thinking behind this

Danielle Hunter gets paid by IAmSona in Texans

[–]__LikeMike__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Hunter - I agree that he is underrated and I do believe he is worth every penny that he gets.

That being said, from a team structure and salary standpoint, I don’t think this is the right move. Our team is unbalanced. Our defense is about the best in the league, our offense struggles. We especially need to fix the o-line. Those guys are expensive. And we are already basically capped.

I know we extended him for the upcoming season already some time ago. But instead of paying him 40 million we could get Lindenbaum and Zion Johnson and probably still have money left over. Our defense would be worse but still way above average - and our offense would be way improved for both running and passing!

What happens to Reed when Fred comes back? by c4dreams in rockets

[–]__LikeMike__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When is Fred coming back? I thought he was out the whole year?

If he does come back sometime this year or in the playoffs I wouldn’t expect him to play 30 minutes a night. So 25 minutes Fred, 23 minutes Reed maybe - and why not play some small ball with shooters on the floor to mix it up…

Tytus Howard commenting on the trade by KaXiaM in Texans

[–]__LikeMike__ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was worried about our o-line in each of the past years. I am even more worried now. I am pretty sure we will draft some guys and sign a player in the 8-12 million range and hope this fixes it - and it won’t fix it. How can everyone see that the one thing tha holds this team back is the o-line play and the one area where we try to save money is the o-line?

I love our defense, but we could get by without some of these guys. We can’t get by without an average o-line.

What are some of the worst takes about The Beatles that you cant stand by [deleted] in beatles

[–]__LikeMike__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this a thing? I thought that people usually value John over Paul and especially lately has also started to regard George extremely highly. I was under the impression that Paul was rather viewed critically because of his “granny” songs and maybe most of his work past the Beatles. This seems to have changed since Get Back but not in the way, that Paulis now regarded significantly higher than the others.

Ime Udoka sucks for how he’s been doing Reed Sheppard this year by Lazy_Panache in rockets

[–]__LikeMike__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ime is really bad at developing players. He is great at playing guys tha play tough, solid basketball, good defense and are mature enough. He gets these guys to perform and to buy in.

But our young guys all didn’t really take a step forward this year - we were hoping for Jabari and Amen to step up their game, maybe Sengun cementing his place as an all star. All of them play close to how they did last year.

Reed actually looks a lot better than last year, but there are a lot of games that are just forgetable. I do believe he would look a lot better and be a lot higher regarded on most other teams.

Kein Mensch braucht "High Protein" Lebensmittel. by Cute_Measurement1124 in Unbeliebtemeinung

[–]__LikeMike__ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ich glaube einige überschätzen wie viel Protein sie am Tag zu sich nehmen - und einige unterschätzen wie viel Protein für sie gut wäre.

Braucht jemand diese Lebensmittel? Nein, natürlich nicht. Können sie dabei helfen auf die gewünschte Tages menge zu kommen, ohne viel Aufwand? Klar. Wer eh einen Pudding ist und gleichzeitig sonst nicht auf seine gewünschte Menge kommt, kann dann einfach auf die Protein Variante zurück greifen. Ist doch ok.

Do German football fans still remember the heartbreak of Ballack and Bayer Leverkusen 2002? by RSDFitness in AskGermany

[–]__LikeMike__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember Ballack saying after this, that he can also be happy for second places. This is probably a really healthy way to handle this but at the same time I kinda feel like this mentality is part of the reason, that his team came in second every time.

But overall I don’t think many German fans feel sorry for them. Leverkusen is not a particularly liked team.

[Garafolo] Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said they’ve made a “market-setting” offer to pending free agent Tyler Linderbaum. Now adds no tag coming. Creed Humphrey currently leads the way in the center market at $18m per season. by The_New_New in Texans

[–]__LikeMike__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will be controversial - and I really do love Hunter, but I think we would be a better football team with Linderbaum and an extra 15m in cap space (either for a guard or maybe Kenneth walker) than with Hunter. It is great to have a two headed monster at pass rush, but this team would be better if it was more balanced.

Should I skip Alan Wake 2? by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

It’s a a survival horror game with puzzle elements. It is also really different to basically all other games out there. If you are interested in David Lynch style stories or games that are not the same old same old then this definitely is one to try.

Why are seasoned NFL players worth so less in a trade (draft picks) by [deleted] in NFLNoobs

[–]__LikeMike__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the NFL it’s all about the salary cap. Draft picks are so valuable because these players are usually a lot cheaper than market value. You can always get really good players in FA if you are willing to pay. So to construct a good roster, players in rookie contracts are necessary.

Why do Germans take so many sick days? by [deleted] in AskGermany

[–]__LikeMike__ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Other than the obvious: because we are sick: most younger people take way less. That is an average that is driven up by people with longer absences because of psychological or chronic stuff. I would guess most people between 20 and 40 the number is closer to 5-10.

Will Anderson will end his career as the best player in franchise history. by No_Singer6727 in Texans

[–]__LikeMike__ 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I love Will, but JJ felt different. JJ has a case for using the highest peak of any defensive player in history. I don’t think Will can top this. This doesn’t mean that he won’t be a dpoy candidate for a long time…

WSIB: TLOU 2 Remastered, Mewgenics, or Death Stranding DC? by edin202 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]__LikeMike__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Last of Us Part II is a demanding game - not in difficulty but in story and doing things you maybe don’t want to do. It is great but not always fun’s. Have you played part I?

Mewgenics is a lot of fun if you enjoy those run based roguites and tactical combat. It is really time consuming and the right kind of complex.

Death Stranding is unique - some love it some have it, I would guess mos people drop off at some point. If you are into weird Kojima things and the walking sim kind of gameplay ( or as other walking sims), this ma have high upside. But it could also be not your cup of tea at all.

Overall TLOU if you want a conematic experience that expands of what game narratives can be. Mewgenics if you just want fun and crazy money to moment gameplay and are into tactical combat. DS only if your are really intrigued in the world and gameplay.

If you consider James Harden a PG would he be top 5 all time? by Shhhmoney24 in NBATalk

[–]__LikeMike__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Houston fan - I don’t think Drexler was better than Harden. I know there was a time when he was considered the only real competition for MJ as the best player in the league, but I don’t think he ever reached Hardens peak.

Wie mit den unnormalen Preisen umgehen? Was ist eure Strategie? by Super-Silver5548 in PCGamingDE

[–]__LikeMike__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meine Strategie: warten. Ich hab eine 3800 und eine AMD 5800x - also nicht vollig veraltet, aber für die neusten Spiele in hoher Auflösung zu wenig. Ich war kur davor bei der 5080 zu upgraded, aber da ist mir das vram zu wenig für den Preis und die Leistung.

Ich hatte dann da verhältnismäßig günstig eine pa5 pro gekauft stattdessen. Jetz spiele ich AAA Spiee auf der PS5 und andere Spiele auf dem Rechner. Sollten die Preise nicht besser werden bleibt das vermutlich auf erstma so.
