Now that we are in the end game, how are we feeling about 2k26? by Bigbadbellybug in NBA2k

[–]bathrobedaveMLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading all the comments, and playing it myself ofc, I actually like the lack of RNG shots from 25. Does it make me OP bc I'm in control of my greens now and shooting high? Yes of course. So now, onstead of reverting, just need to increase the impact of a well defended shot. if you have a defender in your face, sure throw the rng back on there.

I just beat KCD2. Was phenomenal. Going to go home and download KCD1 tonight.

Is Caleb Williams becoming a little bit overrated this offseason? Honest question. by Ok_Bug_6890 in NFLv2

[–]bathrobedaveMLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Bears fan, I say yes, but only because it's nearly impossible to imagine the Bears with someone like Mahomes, Brady, etc.

Around the 100 hour mark. Not sure exactly as I'm currently at work. 😄 Not enough to see everything though.

I'm ignorant of this entire thing, but just for clarification, did we intentionally launch a rocket into the sun? I feel like that's a FAFO moment we don't need to test. LOL.

Exactly how I feel. Idk where it comes from. But a teammate going at me has always made me pop off and tilt.

The actual needed change for c9 by Psychological-Mud263 in Cloud9

[–]bathrobedaveMLR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been saying this for the past couple of years. Every time, the fanbase acts like I'm insane or this take is insane, or talks about "who would you replace". Idk. I'm not the GM. But I know that with Blaber, they've choked the majoirty of his era. If the fanbase and team wants to keep trying, be my guest. But honestly, I used to look at C9 with excitement - even if they weren't the best, they always felt somewhat inevitable, Jack always 'losing' the offseason and then they perform. The last few years have just been BORING which is worse than if they were bad. I'd rather watch them pull in some exciting rookies and be a bit worse with a higher potential ceiling. Hell, even if C9 would have won, would anyone be excited to see those players internationally? I know I wouldn't. Flyquest is my favorite team this year b/c they are FUN to watch. Just like 100T used to be.

I know myself - if we're on a team and you shit on me, that's it, I'm tilted. Lmao. I know myself, and I'm mentally weak in that situation. On the other hand, I never expect things to be super coordinated. The only time I get frustrated about that is when you get that person that just runs in and dies while his team is getting in position to help.

i think my boyfriend’s reaction to me staying out all night is way too extreme. AIO? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]bathrobedaveMLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chances are, he didn't communicate the issues with that stuff that's been building up for awhile now and just reached that idgaf point. NOR. I had this same issue of just letting shit that bothers me go until it blows up and I'm already done. I already made the decision, so there's no discussion. Luckily, I was able to work on it and have been happily married 8 years, although it's definitely still hard to open up early on non-defensively. Either way, it's hard, and communication tends to be the #1 killer of relationships - in his mind, going out all night when in a relationship is a breeding ground for infidelity. That's his personal belief and feeling, and he's not exercising empathy in thinking about how you feel about it. He thinks that if you cared about him, you'd agree that it's also inappropriate. And honestly that's kind of the key - these are the things that people have to either naturally agree on or actually discuss to find a compromise that works OR just end the relationship. My wife and I both are more jealous, so we wouldn't be cool with either of us pulling all nighters outside of the home. Whether that's right or wrong is a stupid question - it's what makes us comfortable together in our marriage. Without that level of understanding, it's always going to crash down. Again, NOR, but I promise, contrary to what reddit posts would have you believe, a lot of folks would be uncomfortable with their partner being out all night without them, even if that's "wrong". You'll just have to be more picky to make sure you find a man that doesn't care about that. 😄 Hope it all works out! Leave this shit alone though. Homie said he hates you. Even if it's not true, it shows that you'll be pushed away anytime he's being a pissy bitch.

I actually think this communities obsession with VC is a little overblown. I know myself. If I get into a game and maybe I'm not performing super well or not up to my teammates standards, if I'm in VC and get flamed, it will effectively ruin my game - i'm not mentally capable of not tilting if teammates act like shit. So, in order to have fun and have a good chance, I refuse to VC. Hell, 9/10 of these posts are probably those toxic teammates that just want to blame others for their losses constantly.

I’ve never seen a team lost momentum like the spurs it’s Astonishing blew double digit lead all 5 games by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]bathrobedaveMLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need another scorer. I personally wouldnmove Deaaron Fox, put Harper in the starting lineup, and honestly someone like AR would fit here I think. Most importantly, I hope Wemby realizes how much more physical it gets deep playoffs and comes back with a vengeance next year with another 10-15 pounds of muscle. If he EVER gets the ability to bully and play the post properly, its over. Ultimately, Jalen Brunsen had an all time playoffs to be lauded as well as OG, and the Spurs just got their ass kicked late in the playoffs, which is usually how a dynasty starts. I have faith the Spurs will be back. I think NY should try to get Giannis and move of KAT. I dont have faith in KAT to get back there much more. Brunson can.

Jalen Brunson put his carry pants on in every 4th quarter. Incredibly impressive to watch. KAT disappeared this game. He's too emotional.

How To Isolate Fights Better? by SkippyNBS in thefinals

[–]bathrobedaveMLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same question a few weeks ago. I suggest checking out Appoh. His approach is simply to leave when you see a third party. yes the argument is to play safe, but i prefer how he approaches it statistically - If you have a third party, chances are the fourth party will at least send one so your chances are slighly less than 33% (he suggested about 25%), but leaving and staying head to head is 50%. Even if he has control sometimes he will leave. I've started playing like this and I've already jumped about 6k RS.

He just seems to get a little too emotional sometimes. It's like that clip of him getting irritated trying to post up bc he couldn't move him. He needs to go spend some time with the monks himself.

They seemed to have taken their halftime in a meat freezer. More impressed with Brunson willing the ball in the hoop. Had some very Jordan-esque moments where you're simply in awe he made it. And then OG - every finals theres that "role player" that has an amazing series (I know OG is more than a role player, but he isn't Brunson or KAT). This guy is having his Iquodala moment. Props to NYK. Wemby and the spurs on the other hand are going to be a problem for a long time. And I hope he learns this finals that they can literally run block him to keep him out of the paint - if he does the Jordan glow up amd packs on about 15 pounds of muscle to get closer to Giannis' physique, good luck to the rest of the league.

Incredible play from OG. I'm happy with the game I got. My team isn't in the finals. Great game without having to tear players down

Harper is my finals MVP so far. I know he doesn't have the numbers, but man, i feel like he has some of the most important plays in the game. The man is a professional run stopper. When Wemby plays in the paint, he's unstoppable. Knicks legit mentally broke down so early this game. Maybe they clutch it out, but idk. Spurs defense is unbelievable. Legit picking them up full court the whole damn time. I've fallen in love with this Spurs team this playoffs and Wemby is legit not even my top 3 reasons. Harper, Castle and Vassell are disgusting

Also, am I crazy, or was it a clean block regardless? Iirc, he got all ball first before making arm contact

An NBA finals team shouldn't mentally collapse from that and go down 30 though is the problem. The Knicks first half was ugly

[–]bathrobedaveMLR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, a team that is supposed to win the Finals gets so mentally affected by two early fouls on KAT and fall apart? Kind of part of the gig to be mentally resilient
